[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

An old man who's been hard at work, thanks.

[𝙅𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝙍𝙀𝙔. @nolastnamed]

distant cough.

mutters something about him being an old man.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

That's not fair.

He was already leaving before she arrived.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Bends over backwards.

Back cracks loudly.

Ow.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Um— Off-planet? Like where he's been going lately?

But he can spare a minute to hug her. Sure.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Yes, so fast.

He's heading somewhere.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Ruffles her hair as he passes by.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

@nolastnamed He presses his own kiss over her forehead, slow and warm, and releases a contented sigh.

After last night, after the previous weeks, he could afford just staying like this all day.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

@nolastnamed That's his cue to slither his free arm around her, pulling her closer to him as he rests his head on hers.

He likes this. This closeness, now. It's easy.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

A sad smile is elicited at that, as though he's struggling to believe it. But it's hard—it's really hard to believe in something he's never seen, something he's never felt.

"How can you be so sure, mom?"

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Well, he supposes it would have to happen first before he could gauge it.

But really— He would like to hear more about his grandfather. His own knowledge about Anakin is. . .flawed, to say the least.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Yeah, maybe. One day.

He doesn't have his hopes up anymore, though. It's been thirty years; if grandfather wanted to show up at all, he would have done so by now, wouldn't he?

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

He would say he doesn't brood but that would only be a lie, wouldn't it?

And besides. . . He's never met Anakin. Not really. He'll never know.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

How is—

He doesn't think he's anything like grandfather. Like Anakin.

Anakia's always been better at that.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

. . . Him?

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Every day, every second, he still suffers.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

When she's this bothered about it? No.

At least tell him how he could make it better.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]

Ana, please.

He knows her better than that, and she knows him good enough to know that he'll never stop pushing.

[𝗕𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗢. @ToSeekTheFuture]
