ugh, politicians. anakin didn't like them, with perhaps one or two exceptions, and he was certain that they probably didn't like him, considering the jedi were not tools to be wielded by those in power and it seemed to drive those in power to distraction. the jedi were not part of the government or beholden to the senate. they followed the same laws as everyone else but what they chose to do as an order was not dictated by elections or power struggles. anakin could have gone his whole life without sitting in on a senate discussion or some brand new focus group that was reporting back about relations with the outer rim.
he and obi-wan were in agreement that they had too many dealings with the republic representatives as it was, and that was perhaps one of the only things they agreed on recently. the only person anakin was keen to see from that lot was palpatine, and he was often busy and away attending to things that came along with his station. it was not, however, uncommon for the jedi to be asked to assist with diplomatic things, given that they were a neutral party between the republic and the system of independent planets. better to borrow a jedi padawan than saddle the princess with some incompetent coruscant yes man with a blaster.
anakin felt as though when he'd become a padawan, he'd been promised a boring life full of contemplative meditation and yet it had been one adventure after another for him and obi-wan, and now he was being ushered along to meet another young girl, only a few years older than him, as her parents prepared to meet with the government officials. well, at least she was pretty. if he had to keep an eye on her, he might as well appreciate the view. and she was human, or so she appeared, which made it easier than when he wasn't sure where to look and where to direct his speech as it occasionally happened with more non-human aliens.
"my job is to keep you safe. if that's boring, i guess i'm doing it right." a pause. "but we don't have to stay here the whole time. i'm almost a knight, there isn't anything on coruscant that could harm you while you're with me." he too wished to get out of the stuffy suite and into the wild of the metropolis, where he was so rarely allowed to wander and explore.
