Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had been feeling twitchy ever since he'd said goodbye to Anakin on Tuesday and in an effort to stop his children from picking up on his anxious Force-aura, headed back to the island to burn off some energy.

He spent an hour at the gym, then went to his office, sat with cross-crossed legs on his floor and began to meditate:

There is no

Comments

As much as Jaina didn't want to deal with anything that was going on, she knew she wasn't the only one that was dealing with it. So she went to her grandfather's office, knocking lightly since she knew he was in there.

"Come in, Jaina," Anakin said, not opening his eyes just yet. He'd found some calm and was reluctant to give it up.

She came inside, closing the door behind her again. And when she saw what he was doing, she just took a seat across from him.

"Hi."

"It's helping a bit," he murmured, "but only after beating the poodoo out of the dummy at the gym."

Finding quiet and stillness had never been one of Anakin's strengths.

Tahiri had stayed in Fandom ever since Anakin had left. Like Jaina, the last couple of days had felt like a long, slow, horrible process of just waiting for the inevitable, and even though she knew she was going to be okay this time she still had no desire to be alone if she was going to relive the experience in any way.

She was already projecting sympathy and reassurance (and the need for it as well) in the Force by the time she came and knocked on the door.

"Come in, Tahiri," Anakin murmured, swinging the door open for her.

Without saying a word, Tahiri pushed the door open, closed it behind her, and immediately went over to offer him a hug.

It somehow seemed easier than articulating anything out loud just yet.

Anakin hugged her back tightly. "Yeah," he said, answering her emotions rather than anything out loud.
