She sighed quietly as she watched him walk away again. And the more he rubbed his head, the more concerned she became and feeling more sympathetic towards him than before. She couldn’t bare to watch him writhe in pain. She thought about giving in and leading him out, it was against her better judgment but neither of them could stay here much longer. It was only a matter of time before they had to get out one way or another.
Ahsoka was getting hungry herself, that she agreed with him on and was about to say so until she heard what he said next. “My friends didn’t leave me here. Ezra came back for me. He pulled me out, that’s what you saw!” she confessed angrily. “And now you know what really happened.”
She was thinking about what to do, trying to figure out whether to risk it or just keep going like they were. And to be honest, it was getting really exhausting. She wondered if maybe leaving would be the better choice. But soon she snapped out of her thoughts and heard voices. She was more confused now than anytime before.
“I think it’s trying to give you a choice but also test you. It also kind of sounded like it was trying to test us both.”
The togruta kept her focus on him and not the voices, watching as he walked down the passage. And right then she made her decision.
“Wait, don’t go that way. Come with me, I’ll show the way to the portal.”
“Oh sure. You think some odd stuff with the force was them coming back? There was no ship, Ahsoka.” Vader frowned, “They didn’t send a ship just…force stuff.” He mutters before shaking his head as he rubbed at his head again then turned back from the glowing runes and ominous voices, both is and otherwise and he walked back towards where Ahsoka had come in from now.
“You do realize that this portal you spoke of likely won’t be there anymore, right?” Vader asks as he seems to be calming down a little now that she’s actually working to get them out of there.
As they’re walking, he’d put his saber back on his belt and then proceeds to look the artifact over some more. It still seemed to be glowing brightly and he turned it over quietly
He took in a deep breath and he realized that…perhaps the sith and jedi voices were right. Perhaps the weird echo of his own voice was right. He was running away from his past. It’s why he had tried to kill Ahsoka. The past hurt too much and yet…perhaps he did need to confront it in a way that wasn’t violent?
“Why did you never contact me in the months before Order 66?” He asks, still staring into the artifact’s blue light, “Was I really that terrible of a person to be around you really didn’t want any contact with me? Just talking every once in a while would have been nice.” he says, not looking at Ahsoka, his gaze still on the artifact, “I know you tried speaking to me in the days before the order but there were months before then that there was no contact….not for lack of effort on my end. I tried to find a comm channel with your name but I never could find one for you.”
