An easy smile spreads on his features. “Ah yes. The beautiful young wife, of one Anakin yes? I have heard of you a thousand times over from Anakin himself. Though you must forgive me, that I do not remember him describing you as so beautiful and enchanting. He fails to capture what grace you have in person.” He bows to her gently, and the time lord hardly bowed to anyone. “It is good to finally meet you.”
It must had been the same sensation Obi-Wan had feel: a short discomfort to realize choice of omission of past events, pretending than none of this had happened. She didn’t really came in person for get informed since her husband’s Master had preferred advised at once her son ---- still, regardless of duties into the Senate, sadness get recollected into his expression. They were both linked towards an important silence who allowed existence inclining into a warm’s atmosphere --- they both knew how the other timeline was mean to be cruel, cannot be forgotten, and how tragedy was laying around into the corridors. How far would be able to tell to the concerned Time Lord about their mental health, when every concerned player was focused into the role sending to them, following their own script but having to following strict rules meanwhile be more or less aware of how immense the universe was ? How many revelations she will be able to share with the Doctor about a happiness illusion who was preserved regardless of the new elements, regardless how nothing wouldn’t be like before ?
Once upon a time, she had been blinded with too much love and powerless towards the interest of her husband about his visions — the beginning of something higher, only an indication there was something more within him — into a distorted reality he didn’t wanted to happens asking to a celestial being to seeing a other side if he was failing into darkness. In one way or another, her ‘wish’ created the origin of the disaster: the end couldn’t not anticipated surely, but their space captain concerning temporary companions of her and Obi-Wan show the slow degradation of the Time Lord who wanted giving them a rightful happiness — avoiding Dark Vader to exist at all cost, and avoiding also the abandonment caused by their father for her children…only the first became true. The second was the reason of the worst mistake of a witch they had witnessed frontally. She saw the universe she thought she knew to break up in an impossibility and the false reassurance she gave to a son of other timeline (at least, the initial first time; not the second when it was already fated) would burn into nonexistence. Not even a scenario her Ani would have been able to imagine. Not even a truth she would be allowed to say anymore. For his own benefits, this emotional immortal had to remaining distant of the reality of what happened during the accomplishment of saving Anakin. For the sake of a logic who trapped them constantly, she will have to blooming stronger for her love.
❝ No doubt you have been attracted by the presence of a former queen who has not forgotten who she was. ❞ She welcomed him with a pleasant amusing sentence. During one second during the compliments he offered her, she was recollecting her Queen years into her homeplanet — all the work she pulled into a mission of protecting her people, standing even more about expanding peace now, how she never forget any of the terrible lessons she learned of foolishness price during her childhood. For too long, she reduced herself into her abilities, to push behind her origin because their private relationship was delicate. However, now, she was remaining the most underestimated asset — she could turn into a symbol of peace completely; meanwhile allowing Ani to accept slowly the truth behind the appearances. ❝ Oh you saw how enthusiastic my husband is once my name is spelled ! ❞ Though in private, he might be surprised to learn he was constantly worried, obsessed by this wrong sensation treating the reality, unsure about how to talk about his children meanwhile showing some hurt expressions concerning his lack of parenthood, that confusion sentiment created by his son. There were days when they were a couple speaking mutual problems…there were also instants when her husband seemed completely dissociated of everything. Into rare moments, they seemed to be both strangers to each other — as she was loving a copy of a husband…and him feeling like a shell of the man he should be. ❝ I imagine countless questions must cross your mind. ❞
