Who: Anakin and Padmé
What: What else do they do but frolic in the golden glow of their love for each other? <-- Who barffed at this?! Inquiring minds want to know!
When: Thursday afternoon/evening
Where: South end of the lake, where there are fields. Where else does one frolic?
Rating/Warnings: These two are the most chaste forbidden lovers ever – what do you think will happen? (probably low, will update if necessary)
Status: In progress/Closed

Padmé had listed: afternoon, out of doors, shade, and blanket. This had Anakin confused. So many years hiding their relationship when outside of the secret-concealing confines of Padmé’s residences the prospect of expressing love for each other where others could potentially see was foreign, and his knee-jerk reaction was to fight against it. They weren’t basking in the sun of Varykino, with no one around but their own eyes to worry about. While that was a castle full of people behind them, who, yes, all knew, or could know about their relationship, it was still difficult not to feel uneasy. He was trying his best to override ingrained habits.

“Is that the proper distribution of shade for you?” He asked his companion and pointed, with the hand holding the required blanket, towards a large tree surrounded by the tall grass. Having had no time to develop a knowledge for romantic settings, shade was shade to Anakin, unless it had military advantage, and then it could be used strategically. He might not intrinsically understand romance, but he was sure Padmé wasn’t looking to stage an armed confrontation with that outcropping of trees in the distance. He would defer to her expertise on the correct amount of shade for relaxation.

Padmé took a moment to stand underneath the tree, in the shade, before nodding approvingly and moving to the side so that Anakin could lay the blanket down. It would, with any luck, also give them a good view of the sunset. Anakin had seemed - tense, as of late, if that was even the right word for it. Troubled? It was difficult for Padmé to label it, but she knew well enough that something wasn't quite right. She hoped a bit of time away from the castle's interior, relaxing, would help ease his mind. She had her selfish reasons as well, of course. She wanted to spend time with him. Being able to freely relax, to do as she pleased without thought of how fellow Senators or politicians or even press would take it, was unusual. She still craved to be working more, and was having moments where she wondered if a political career in the Land of Make Believe wasn't more feasible than she assumed it to be, but she was starting to adjust to a somewhat slower pace.

"I think this looks perfect, Ani." Padmé looked at him, a bit curious. "We can always consider doing this more in the future, as well, if you like the idea."

I looked like the shade from a large tree to Anakin, but who was he to argue aesthetics with a mind both more attune to the creative expression of beauty and the finer tactics of debate?

"Alright," he said simply and spread out the blanket as she had indicated, and then, when she had claimed her own spot on the blanket, sat next to her.

"We can do this more often if you wish." Meaning, she would need to, like in this instance, take the lead on such things. It was a more comfortable position for him. He might have three years of relationship experience under his belt, but it mostly boiled down to following her cues.
