STARTER CALL  ||  @stvr-touched​ .

         ‘‘ IS IT JUST ME  or do those senate meetings continue to become longer and longer ? ’’

Anakin walked alongside Padmé through the field, carrying a picnic basket and blanket with him. He had never been on a picnic before. On Tatooine, there literally wasn’t anywhere to have one, and he had admittedly never had the occasion to go on one in his years of training. All of this was unexpected. He had been surprised the Council had seen fit to give him this assignment on his own, as every other time he was asked to do something, it was under Obi-Wan’s supervision. But he was grateful, as well as determined. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to Padmé. It infuriated him that someone out there wanted her dead, when all he had ever known her to be was kind and honest and good—not at all like the others in the Senate.

And, he admitted, he was very much falling in love with her. What had started out as a boyhood crush had shifted into something he knew that he shouldn’t have felt, but did anyway, to the point that he had kissed her when they were standing on the veranda looking out at the lake. They hadn’t spoken about it since then, when she had broken it off and expressed her regret, and he had apologized. He wondered if she was angry with him—he hoped not, and certainly didn’t want to offend her and damage their friendship. 

“How much farther is it?” he asked, glancing over at her. She was beautiful—always, but especially like this, in the sunlight and among the flowers and grass of the planet she loved so much, in such an informal setting—and it took everything in him not to stare for too long. The Force be with him, for this was going to be his most difficult mission yet.

“ I KNOW, PADMÉ, I KNOW. ”   Oh, he’s gotten them in two deep, he’s fallen down, down, down, and dragged her along with him. He joined the winning side to keep them safe, and perhaps to win himself, but there have been more assassination attempts on Padmé in the last two months than in her entire time as Queen. And the children... oh, he’s terrified that something might happen to them. That the new Emperor might take them for leverage... 

Anakin knows now that this was a terrible idea. He’d promised to keep them safe, that everything would be alright, that he had a plan to fix everything... 

And he’d been so wrong. 

   “ i’m sorry... i’m so sorry i dragged you into this... i thought... ”   what, exactly? he doesn’t know. that it wouldn’t be like this, certainly.

HE GRINS,   shifting his weight as he leans against the pillar, fingers laced together loosely in front of him.    “ well, i’ll make sure to stop by before then, ”   he responds, then approaches her, gently brushing his hand against her cheek.   “ what has you out so late, my love? ”  he asks, though still smiling,   “ i hope you won’t be gone long... it’s not often that i’m on coruscant for more than a day. ”

         ‘‘ SECRETLY NOBLE ?  not that i know of....well, actually, if we’re not using it              in the sense of BEING a noble, then i guess....i am noble ?  or at least somewhat ?               it’s a confusing question. ’’
