What: Anakin tries to be a friend to Ahsoka who could really use a friend right now.
When: Wednesday
Where: At Ahsoka’s
Rating/Warnings: High, Content Warning: for possibly discussing what happened to Li
Anakin was hardly prepared for the sudden arrival of the monsters – demons and undead – but he preferred to just call them all monsters. And he was less prepared for the way everything in the area simply returned to the way it was before the monsters’ arrival. Where had all the damage gone?
His dislike of the first part was only exceeded by his dislike of the end. The neatness was a present wrapped too delicately to handle. One smudge and the corners would fray and tear.
He knocked on Ahsoka’s door, waiting there with the beer she’d requested. Each step up to her door had been a step over the ghost of a battle field he’d only caught a glimpse of the previous few days. The specters felt thicker here, like maybe the battle wasn’t over.
He knew that feeling so well, he’d felt it here on Earth in the life he’d lived here. Rather recently, in fact. And in his Dreams, the ones where he was older, it seemed like he carried many ghosts with him. He was surprised no one around him noticed.
These were the phantoms of heartache, just starting their own personal tour of duty. He knew they could be long-serving, and his only purpose today was to simply let his friend know that he was there to sit with her through that endless march.
