True to his word, the inspiration for a nickname for Surreal had come to Obi-Wan at a random hour and on his way home from training (solo training, in the park) he'd decided to stop off at room 143 in order to inform Surreal that her nickname, in fact, was going to be Vixen. Now, he knew the connotations of the word sexually--and while they certainly applied to Surreal in a great many ways, he was more interested in the other connotations of the word.
Foxes were wily creatures and Surreal was sharp as a knife's edge; that had been easy enough to determine while talking to her. She was quick witted and sly like a fox and, as such, Vixen had been the only logical choice. Hands in his robes he went down to her room only to realize he'd forgotten his communication device in his own and he tried the doors to go back to retrieve it, only to find them blocked.
Damned odd, and he tried the Force on both the elevator shaft and the stairway with no success. Odd village, and he made his way back down to Surreal's room, knocking lightly on the door.
"It's Ben. I came to tell you your nickname and also to inform you that we're stuck on this floor."
