	Ahsoka sighs, but presses 1. She's not sure if this is going to be Hondo, Louie, Sabine, Ezra, or the Mandalorian. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Processing takes a while, and Ahsoka was thinking (not seriously) about mind tricking the officers into putting her case first. There were lots of comments about how cool her hair was, but didn't she think those tattoos were going to age terribly? Eventually, Anakin was processed, brought out, and handed over to her. She may have given him a little Force nudge to get them out the door quicker.

Once outside, she said, "Alright. What happened?"

	Anakin isn't literally hanging his head like a chagrined cartoon character, but he's totally giving off that vibe. "That stupid store, with those stupid people in those stupid costumes, thinking things are funny... I lost my temper. I shouldn't have." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahsoka groans and rolls her eyes. "Anakin... They don't know that we're real. We're just stories to them, and they enjoy them. You've got to stop thinking of it as an insult." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know that, but... They were making fun of what one of the younglings said before..." Anakin doesn't really want to finish that thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahsoka was quiet for a few moments as she clicked the button to unlock her small SUV. Once at the door, she stopped and took a deep breath. "They joked about killing younglings, and you got angry." She glanced up at him. "Do you suppose you took your anger out on them when it's really you you're angry with?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	balancetheforce 2020-05-05 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't think about it that way, I just reacted." He walked around to the passenger side of the SUV. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not going to chastise you." She opened the door. Before she climbed in, she finished, "You're doing a good enough job of that on your own." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know I shouldn't have punched him." He walked around to get in on the passenger side. He should hold it in, really, but-- "But who makes jokes like that?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahsoka's relieved that he didn't Force choke the guy, but she suspects Anakin punched him with his prosthetic hand. "Someone who thinks it's all scripting and acting, and that kid got a cupcake after he shot that scene." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Human jawbones can totally take a prosthetic punch, right?... Yeah, Anakin definitely owes that guy some medical bills paid.

He wasn't actually mad at Ahsoka when he snapped, "He got my lightsaber in his chest." He inhaled deeply and tried to let his anger go instead of shoving it down. "... I know they think that. I know I shouldn't have... ... I don't even know his name."

	No, he wasn't angry with her, and Ahsoka could sense that. She quietly asked, "The youngling?" Ahsoka's memories of that time period were a blur. She remembered sensing Anakin, the sucker punch it had been, right before the Clones turned on her. She'd been so worried about him, she hadn't noticed the change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"... Yeah." Not that he was the only youngling, but the one who'd said the particular thing that the punchable face at Darth Vaper had quoted.

"He knew who I was, but I don't remember his name." They'd been away at war, after all. Sometimes when they were back on Coruscant, he'd help with lightsaber or flight lessons, but nobody learned and remembered every name. (Well, maybe Yoda.)

	Ahsoka hesitated for a moment. She had spent a lot of time among younglings over the course of the war. Teaching them to let go to get their kyber crystals. Helping them create their lightsabers which would be an extension of themselves. "It was Sors Bandeam." Ahsoka had watched the films after all, and recognized the youngling's face.

"Sors Bandeam." So that was his name. Anakin didn't asked how or why Ahsoka knew; between the films and her experiences with the younglings, there were obvious enough ways.

But if Ahsoka had known that boy, well... that must make it worse for her. But he didn't really know the extent of what Ahsoka had learned through her own life before the portal and after.

And he honestly hadn't asked, either, about everything that happened with her at the end of the war. He knew to an extent but It was something he'd avoided.

"Did you... find his name, or... you knew him?"

	"I knew who he was, but I didn't know he was the child until I'd seen the films." She had been away from the Jedi Order for a good chunk of time, so she wasn't particularly close to him. Ahsoka swallowed in a dry throat before she slipped into the driver's seat. "You're thinking a lot about then, aren't you?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
