Letter, 10th of Penta

[personal profile] properprincess 2016-08-12 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations, fellow royal! You have been invited to the home of Sonia Nevermind on the 13th of Penta. Nothing is required but your illustrious presence. And perhaps some stories of your homeworld.

Refreshments will be provided.

I look forward to seeing you there.

~ Sonia Nevermind

9/3, action

[Wandering the streets of Verens in the evening is a completely normal thing to find Anakin doing. Granted, it's usually with more purpose and awareness than he's currently showing, but nothing about it too unusual.

Until he almost walks into a woman due to how distracted he is, of course.

He yanks himself back instinctually, wild-eyed and startled at how close he'd come to walking right into someone. It's insanely out of character for him, and he scrambles to apologize before he catches sight of Leia properly.
]

...Oh.

["It's you" runs through his head, but stating the obvious is beyond his energy level right now. He can only stand there, out of her way to allow her to inevitably leave, as she always wants to.

He looks like he went a few rounds with a Gundark and barely walked away. He hasn't eaten today, and he's slept very little in the past few weeks. A decent shove would probably knock him over, if only he doesn't have his guard up enough to see it coming.
]

Hello, Leia.

[Leia is being sympathetic to him, of all people? Did he just walk into another alternate reality? For a moment, Anakin looks less surprised and more like someone hit him in the face with a blunt object. Her words aren't unwelcome, but they do take a few seconds to sink in properly.]

Thank you.

[His mouth opens and closes twice as he tries to figure out where to go from there. He should say something, he knows that much, but he's not sure what. Padmé is Leia's mother, and in spite of Leia rejecting him, she still lost someone important for a second time.]

...I'm sorry you didn't get more time with her. She was happy to know you while she was here.

[That was weak, but he hopes it lets her know he's not completely blind to her feelings. It hasn't occurred to him how badly that could be taken, but hey. A man can dream, right?]

[When she says the word "Hutt", his face twists with something almost on the level of hatred before he shoves it back. He knows he looks bad, but still, that's still a foul word to him. He needs to get it together, if he's getting comments like that, but it's so difficult to muster the energy to care.

This is one of the few times she's actually spoken to him without being trapped in a room with him, though. Or is it actually the first? It's too good of an opportunity to pass up, so he lets the comment slide without flinching.
]

Smeeleeya whao toupee upee, Leia. I can't argue with that, this time.

[He shrugs and tries for a smile, but it only manages to hit "grimace" levels.]

I haven't been back to the apartment in a while, that's all.

[He avoids going to their apartment whenever he can get away with it, sleeping in short bursts on Takashi and Obi-Wan's couches. It's definitely showing after a few weeks of it.]
mislighted: (And it's kind of funny)

[personal profile] mislighted 2016-09-08 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Trying to make Leia laugh is not something he's going to manage, clearly, so he decides to take her silence on the matter as a hint he should stop trying. That look is enough to sour milk, and he'd rather not have to face it twice in one conversation.]

Are you expecting me to collapse in the street? I'm not that far gone.

[He might be holding himself up partially with the Force, but he's dealt with worse. You get used to that sort of non-stop fatigue after a while, when you're in a war.

Besides, he's trying his best to ignore the implication that he could fly off the handle just because he's looking worse for wear, no matter how true it might be.

[Wow. Anakin Skywalker came out to wallow in his personal misery, and he is feeling so attacked right now.

Honestly, he does feel a bit like she slapped him in the face, shocked and a little hurt by it. In fact, he might be more than a "little" hurt, once he lets it sink in. For now, it's hiding beneath a layer of disbelief and anger that she would be so callous.

He stands taller, looking less likely to be shoved over with a strong push and more like a proper Knight, but the anger on his face is nothing like what a Jedi should wear.
]

Even if she wouldn't want it, she's not here to tell me to stop, is she? She's gone, and for all anyone knows, she might be--!

[He can't say "dead", and he clamps his teeth down in a snarl over the words. Saying it out loud is acknowledging it as a real possibility, and he refuses to allow that to happen. She can't be dead, he would never allow it, and he has to keep telling himself that so he doesn't fly over the edge into the dark side. It's a twisted kind of logic, where the only way he can do what she needed him to is to stagnate himself and suffer in a way she'd never approve of.

Sometimes, it's surprises even him how broken he is inside.
]

I love her more than anything. It's not that easy to just stop feeling for her! If I could, I would have done it long before we got this far!

[Leia has a point; of course she does. But that's only twisting the knife further, and the air heats and dries out like the deserts of Tatooine. A breeze picks up from nowhere, but it's hard and does nothing to ease the heat.

He's raging, but it's a pathetic kind of anger, aimless and confused because it isn't aimed at someone or something in particular. It's just a hair's breadth away from being despair, if Anakin were being more honest, but denial is his final weapon, and he'll use it long past the point where it's useful.
]

I wasn't planning on going home!

[On the other hand, he can be honest about this, because it's unfair. If he can focus on the unfairness of it, then he can keep some part of his heart from completely breaking.]

We were supposed to stay here, where she could be live! Where we could be happy, away from the war and the Jedi and everything else that's gone wrong back there!

[His voice cracks, like he's used up all the volume he has in him, and now all he has left is barely enough to make it heard.]

And when I go back now, it might not even change anything. She might be lost, all over again.

[Qui-Gon's still not entirely used to communicating with relative strangers through his thoughts--such abilities through the Force required a strong bond to fully actualize.]

[But he still manages to keep a polite air in his words, relying on his political savvy to cover any misgivings he may have.]


Leia?

This is Qui-Gon. If you have a moment, I would like to speak with you.

[personal profile] sithkabobed 2016-09-29 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Although he can feel the tension coming from Lea's thoughts, Qui-Gon does what he can to mask the fact that he noticed. Instead, he focuses on injecting his overabundance of calm into his own thoughts.]

If it's no inconvenience to you, I would prefer to meet in person.

I'm more than happy to offer my and Obi-Wan's home.
sithkabobed: (67)

[personal profile] sithkabobed 2016-09-30 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Wherever you are most comfortable is fine with me. If your home is that place, then we can meet there.

What time would be best for you?


[There's also the added benefit of being able to gracefully duck out in case there's a scene. Because dealing with that stuff in public is nobody's idea of a good time.]

[TO ACTION]

[personal profile] sithkabobed 2016-10-01 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much for your accommodation. I will see you soon.

[It gives Qui-Gon enough time to pick up a little something as thanks for Leia's hospitality.]

[Just a little bit past an hour later, he arrives at her door and gives it a polite knock.]

[He's not offended in the slightest by Leia cutting to the chase and places a small box of pastries onto a table. It's the least he could do in return for intruding.]

[Qui-Gon seats himself in the chair closest to the table, settling in before he answers her question.]


I had a conversation with Obi-Wan the other day in regards to some of the events I'd missed.

[You know. While he was dead AF.]

I was hoping to gain some more perspective outside of what he was able to share.

[personal profile] sithkabobed 2016-10-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Welp that sure was a bad way to start off their conversation. Good job, Qui-Gon. Really working that charm, there.]

[He takes Leia's Look in stride and doesn't respond to it outside of making some placid eye contact and keeping a gentle tone to his voice.]


Not directly, no.

But perhaps that is a good place to start.
