[unjedi]

Then who wrote it? Your twin?

[facultative]

[Unfortunately he did write this, just not recently.]

I was nineteen!

[unjedi]

And this is what you thought romance was?

[facultative]

Like you could do any better.

[unjedi]

I've had to, considering where the bar is.

[facultative]

It worked though.

[unjedi]

You really think it was your writing that worked?

[facultative]

She knew Obi-Wan first. Something made the difference.

[unjedi]

What does Obi-Wan have to do with it?

[facultative]

Because he's basically perfect?

[unjedi]

I wouldn't say that.

[ not by a long shot. ]

Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan and you're you.

[facultative]

And I was nine when we met and he looked like that. What's your point?

[unjedi]

[ sighs ]

My point is you both have different strengths.

I wouldn't have come back for Obi-Wan.

[facultative]

[Anakin is torn between being happy that he meant so much to her and being outraged on Obi-Wan's behalf.]

It's not the same.

[unjedi]

[ fight her. ]

Of course it's not the same. So what if it isn't? You're Anakin Skywalker. You're my master.

I am proud of you. Why is it so hard for you to believe?

[facultative]

[If this was a face to face conversation he'd have yelled that he still almost hurt her. Instead there's a silence that goes for far too long.]

There's a lot of things I don't like to talk about. You can add this to the list.

[unjedi]

. . . Time is short, Anakin. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine.

But I hope you don't regret it.

[facultative]

It's not like that. Some things are just better left alone.

[unjedi]

That's what I thought. Once.

[facultative]

I know you mean well but it's better this way. It wouldn't change anything.

[unjedi]

How would you know? You, Obi-Wan, Padme, you don't know anything.

You all just want everything to stay the same as if that wasn't the problem in the first place.

[facultative]

What do you want Ahsoka?

I can't live with your future. I don't even get that chance.

[unjedi]

I'm not asking you to. I'm asking you to take the chances before you lose them. And stop dismissing them because the threat of what happens is real.

[facultative]

[He can ruin his own life if he wants to!]

I'm not going to lose them.

[Spoilers: Anakin is a weenie at heart.]

[unjedi]

You say that because you haven't lost.

Why are you so stubborn about this?
