Padmé stirred in her sleep, starting the process of escaping the sleepy haze that had a grip over her body and mind as she woke from the prior night's sleep. The process of rubbing at her eyes and turning to see if Anakin was still asleep was interrupted, however, as she was met by a face that didn't match what she was expecting.

Nerves and adrenaline went into overdrive as, not thinking, Padmé scrambled to get out of the bed and open the bedside stand drawer. Her blaster pistol was in there and, while she had no intent to use it unless absolutely necessary, she wanted a way to defend herself.

Perhaps because it had been the result of the shock happening right as she was waking up, but her heart was racing. "Who are you?"

“Padmé,” Anakin said softly. He brought one hand up to brush the tears off one of her cheeks. He certainly remembered this part of the year very well, though he knew by now not to say anything about that. Many slip-ups and mistakes had taught him what exactly not to say in moments like this. Which wasn’t the same as knowing what to say. But he did know there were certain things he should never bring up, in fact maybe he shouldn’t even think them.

“For as long as I’m here, I’m here for you. I don’t care how far in the past you are for me. Whatever you want from me, I’ll do it. I’ll always do what you need me to do.” Or he would at least try. That did not change in the twenty-three years he’d lived in the Land of Make Believe.

Padmé continued to lie there against Anakin, taking comfort in both the gesture and his verbal reassurances. She still didn't know what to make of everything, her more easily set off nerves included, but it wasn't as if she had a time deadline. They could work at figuring things out, together, ideally.

"Can we start with just - lying in for awhile?" She knew this was asking something of him, actually, as it meant staying still and not going off to jog or train or whatnot. (She assumed that hadn't changed.) He had to call in for his classes to avoid scaring students with his sudden bout of aging, undoubtedly, but that meant that he would have more time to do as he pleased.

Padmé was correct to assume Anakin had not changed over the past twenty three years in regards to his need to be constantly doing things. He still didn’t like meditation. He still didn’t like remaining in one position for more than was necessary – he’d only begrudgingly accepted sleep as a necessary activity.

But he had told Padmé whatever she needed of him he would do.

“Yes,” he said, and he even had a measured tone that belied none of his dislike of lying still. He focused more on the plus that Padmé wasn't kicking him out, and that she was at least accepting him for the moment. “However long you want. We’ll work through this.”
