Who: Anakin Sr. and Obi-Wan
What: Bro-time. Obi-Wan just keeps learning terrible news about home. He’s upset.
When: Shortly after this
Where: A balcony.
Rating/Warnings: Maybe medium – possible discussions about war and violence. Will update if necessary
Status: Complete

Anakin found his former Master easily enough. The man’s emotions were like a beacon, though, he was trying hard to mute them. Anakin just had the benefit of knowing him for more than thirteen years. He knew when Obi-Wan was upset.

He stepped out on the balcony and leaned against the stone balustrade.

“I am sorry,” he started. “There’s… so much that happened back home. I don’t know what you want to know and what you don’t… But I should have told you this.”

“Really?” Anakin’s eyebrows knit together. He could feel Obi-Wan’s affront through their Force bond, but didn’t fully what he was saying. That’s, the most horrible thing you’ve ever heard? He let that remain a thought. He was sure Obi-Wan caught it.

“I was ten, no one wanted me there but you, and half the time I wasn’t even be sure of that. And he was someone the Order supported. I had no stunning insight about him at that time than the rest of you did. I thought he was just being nice to me.”

Obi-Wan was suitably chastened by the thought. Anakin's revelations about his fall barely seemed real, though. They hadn't happened. Their time training together, however, had been the most significant endeavour of Obi-Wan's life. The idea that Palpatine had convinced Anakin he'd been sabotaging it was shocking.

"It's not true that nobody wanted you there," he murmured, glancing away.

	“Besides you, who else?” Anakin wouldn’t accept Ahsoka for an answer, she wasn’t even aware of his existence when he was a youngling at the Temple. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Anakin, don't confuse the Council's concerns - valid concerns - about what your training could mean with them not wanting you there. They gave me permission to train you. And many of your instructors spoke very highly of you often." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Anakin looked at Obi-Wan, considering his answer. He knew for a fact Masters Yoda and Windu adamantly did not want him at the Temple, even if in the end they reluctantly agreed to side with the majority decision of the Council. He knew other members of the Council felt the same. His knowledge of this was separate form Palpatine leading him to believe the Temple was holding him back. He could tell the difference now.

Anakin looked away. No, they were your family, Master, never mine.

“There is a social gathering tomorrow.” He was changing the subject. “Down by the lake. Ani was invited before you arrived. He will be expecting to go. You’re welcome to go, too. The whole castle is.”

	You grew on them. Master Yoda, in particular, developed a great fondness for you. "He's informed me. I expect to attend, he said he would rather like me to." (Reply to this) (Parent)
