Rating/Warnings: Probably low
To almost anyone else, riding public transit was probably the least enjoyable part of their day. To Anakin, it was a chance, while on the way to his destination, to listen to music, as was apparent by the singular earpod in one of his ears; a chance to play on his phone, obvious by the device in his hand; and a chance to practice his Force skills, which might not be apparent to someone just glancing at him. But he didn’t use his spare hand, his prosthetic hand, to hold onto any of the bars or hand-holds to keep his balance through all the starts and stops and jostling passengers on the train car.
He just anchored himself in the Force and rode out the bumps without barely shifting.
And this was his plan until he reached his stop.
Unfortunately, plans change.
With a sudden screech, the train lurched to a stop. And Anakin rode that out, too. But a number of the passengers standing didn’t catch themselves in time and they tumbled into the seats or to the floor.
Anakin helped one person who fell into him, and they were verbally grateful until they saw the prosthetic hand that caught them. Then they clammed up and moved away quickly.
Anakin was used to it by now, and shrugged it off. He wasn’t the one who had to suffer on a stopped train with someone that made him uncomfortable.
He caught the eye of another passenger before settling back into his spot, but unlike the other passengers, he didn’t have anything to wonder about—the train was stopped, obviously—and he didn’t feel negatively about it, so he went back to his phone.
