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.
