ahsoka tano : @moonsoflego
'until the possible becomes actual, it is only a distraction. be mindful of what is, not what might be.' he's heard it once - twice, perhaps, from masters that catch his dwelling mood. it's ever-present now, however, mere days after the return from zyggeria. a bittersweet outcome, he thought, as he aided in the data reports back to the council, the people of kiros joining the republic when their wrists are only newly unshackled. ghosting through the galaxy has brought him just the thing he has been warned of - distraction. it is easy to forget how much suffering prevails in smaller systems, still rot with starved power and slavery. he has never desired to hide from his past, but the war has allowed him to, in some extent.
it comes barreling back, however, when he is left without the drumroll of blaster fire and war-cries. ❝ don't just stand there, ❞ he grunts, half-teasing, a practice-blade twirled as he adjusts his stance to regard her. truthfully, anakin hoped he would be alone. now, he's grateful he is not. ❝ kind of boring with just a dummy, you know. ❞
