at least he listened to him, and followed direction well. he half expected kylo to bite back. but ever since he had gotten here, there was something about him, beyond the darkness he sensed. he was no sith, not a normal one at least. not like those who he had met previous to him. though, it was clear that he was no jedi. a force user, yes, a powerful one at that. but anakin couldn’t PIN POINT anything specific. it was a mystery. one that he was certain to uncover.
he went left, going through the area with a fine tooth comb. he couldn’t afford to have anything here. he was already walking on a tightrope with this entire trip. there was going to be questions asked, and he couldn’t play ignorant. if this situation didn’t resolve the way he needed it to, he had to lie. and he couldn’t lie if there were WITNESSES.
he rounded back to the room after a minute, maybe two, going to the entrance and peering out of the door. nothing. not even the local wildlife could be heard.
“time travel is impossible. it must be the force. it’s the only explanation.” but if it was the force, then it was possible for someone to be manipulating it. who would bring him here, and why? anakin turned to look at kylo, studying him closely, carefully.
“what do you know about me?”
there’s no one left, the place has been completely ransacked. he can’t even sense any sort of movement ANYWHERE nearby. when he rejoins his grandfather, his gaze darts over him for a moment. this likely isn’t why Anakin has brought him here. he’d mentioned something about finding somewhere quiet to talk, but something has happened here to make it eerily quiet. not the type he was looking for, surely.
when his grandfather asks him what he knows about him, Kylo sets his saber back at his hip and lets his hands fall to his side. he contemplates for a moment just what he can tell him. he doesn’t want to give away too much and do something to the timeline that cannot be reversed.
“i know everything about you. your entire history and, for you, your future. for obvious reasons i can’t tell you too much. where are you at, at the moment? what has happened to you of late?”
