            a momentary lapse into disbelief is still playing at her expression as she shakes away her growing fringe, leaning closer and deliberately poking skywalker’s chest.            “i haven’t see your ‘snips’ in weeks. she was busy being horribly depressed and i don’t have time for that.”            half a truth, half a lie. asajj has a grudging respect for ahsoka tano, she’d not left her until she was sure the girl wouldn’t immediately die. even she wasn’t so callous as to just drop her. and it has been over a week since she heard from her, she doesn’t want to be found.            “here is the deal skywalker. she’s safe, and outside of my influence, but i promised to tell no one where she had gone. you are included in ‘no one’   —”             she should be more afraid of him than she is. she’s fought and lost to him, fought and nearly won, and she can sense his rage like the first thick clouds of a summer storm. but asajj has survived it all.            “surprised you didn’t leave with her. always thought kenobi might have left for you. not that simple though, is it?”

               A GLASS HALFWAY across the room shatters. Whether or not that has anything to do with the clenched fist Anakin shoves underneath the table is left up to interpretation. He stares at someplace over her shoulder, expression not quite stone. If she looked close enough she’d be able to see the fault lines that shift beneath the surface of his scowl; a hidden network of shatterpoints each emotion treads carefully on top of. 

     ❝ You don’t know what you’re talking about. ❞ He sends his skewering gaze back to Ventress. ❝ Ahsoka made a mistake. The Jedi Council didn’t— ❞ Why am I defending the Council to an ex-Sith? The full weight of his fist causes the table to shake when he sets it down. Why am I defending the Council at all?

      Look, ❞ Anakin’s nostrils flare as he sucks in what’s supposed to be a centering breath. ❝ We didn’t end on a good note. I need to talk to her. ❞ Snips, I cleaned out your bedroom today… He reaches out along the tremulous threads of their training bond. Not whole, but not fully broken yet either. Obi-Wan said it would help me move on…All it did was make me miss you more.  I’m not trying to get her to come back, but it’s important. ❞
