[Ahsoka hangs her head.]

... I'm sorry. I didn't-- I didn't mean to worry you.

[sandhate]

I know you didn't. It's -- [ It's a Master's duty to worry about their padawan's life and education. ] It's fine.

Just be careful next time.

[resnipstance]

[That earns a wry smile. She looks back up at Anakin.]

Next time? I don't know about you, but I'm not planning on any more soul-adventures any time soon. Are you?

[sandhate]

[ dryly ]

Right, because everything we do is planned.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka opens her mouth, but nothing comes out.

... Finally:]

You know, I was going to argue that, but I really can't.

[sandhate]

Exactly. That's why I need you to be careful.

[ a wry smile as he pulls back and into his work again. ]

Thank you for the caf, Ahsoka.

[resnipstance]

[She knows a dismissal when she hears one, so she nods and backs off.]

... Any time, master.

["I'm here for you," she wants to say, but can't quite manage it. Perhaps she can hope it's just conveyed in her face.]
