... Hey.

[Delivered into the care of Anakin Skywalker, courtesy of a local planet-based courier: a stack of sealed food containers in various sizes, tied together into a neat stack with twine and containing:

• Lemon and Cheese Potato Gnocchi
• Pumpkin Spice Risotto
• Fresh Planetside Wild Game Meatballs in a Chili-Garlic Sauce, apologies about the spice that may or may not blow his head off but the ships are terrible when it comes to tomato products holy shit, sorry about your taste buds
• Cherry "Cheesecake" Panna Cotta

As well as a note reading, "This is real food!! Suzie Quatro ✿".]

[Oh hell. It's a quiet day in the void today.]

What was your first date with Padmé like?

[That's it. No greeting, no explanation. Enjoy.]

[ When he didn't come home the first night, she didn't worry. Anakin was probably off with someone and it's not as if he has to report to her. He wasn't there in the morning, though. No message, no sign he'd even come home. She didn't see his taxi at all while she was shuttling supplies.

By late that night, she starts to get worried. ]

Anakin? Where are you? [ Her voice is soft, worried but not panicked. ]

Anakin, hiya, it's Celeste Blackwell. I just wanted to give you a ring, see how you're getting on, that sort of thing.

I, er -

I should add that you won't get the entire contents of my mind and heart every time we speak. I was in a bit of state when I got here. I'm much better now.

That's all, really.

[Here's Luke, leaning in front of the camera and looking a little tired. He's also sporting an impressively purple black eye, but that's beside the point.]

Father, please don't be angry with Leia.

[ I'm here to visit and possibly whine about your kids.

Okay, no, but it has been some time and Obi-Wan has missed Anakin a lot. He has tried to give Anakin some space, to process and spend time with his loved ones. He doesn't want to intrude on that calm.

With that, he lingers a little beside the door before knocking. ]

[ Padmé had gone to check on Leia, as she did everyday, whether in person or over the comms. She returns to their room much too soon, distracted and worried. She's so distracted, in fact, that she doesn't notice Anakin is there too for a few seconds. But when she does, she moves toward him. ]

Can you sense Leia?

[ That's really the only way to be sure, she thinks. ]

[After Ahsoka's had a week of rest and recuperation following the incident with Greed and Ling, she drops by Anakin's quarters on the Paisley once more and knocks on the door.]

Anakin? It's me. You home?

[Knock knock, redux.]

Anakin! Are you busy?

What can I do?

[ There's no point in asking how he is. She already knows. ]

[ Because Obi-Wan knows Anakin, despite all the changes, he makes sure that this is voiced. He'd probably show up soon too, just in case Anakin runs off. ]

Barriss is here. But she's from before the act of sabotage in the Temple.

Hey. Have you met the new guy yet?

[If Anakin answers Ahsoka's call directly, or if he lets it go to voicemail, he'll hear the following in Ahsoka's voice-- "business mode" immediately recognizable.]

Anakin. There's been some kind of destruction on the planet's surface caused by some members of the fleet. I'm volunteering to go planet-side and help with the relief effort before the Atroma inevitably ship us out.

If anyone's looking for me, I'm going to be staying there until everything's cleaned up, or until the Atroma teleport us back onto the ships for departure. Whichever happens first. If you're not busy, I could really use the help, but I'm going regardless. See you soon, either way.

[Knocking, then popping her head in.]

Knock knock.

Hey, Skyguy.

[ Obi-Wan discreetly leaves a pile of ~~junk~~ mechanical parts he scavenged from the ship for Anakin.

He won't wait around but he knocks on the door to let his padawan know. ]
