"Why would you stay hidden?" He couldn't help but ask curiously. Hoping he hadn't crossed a line or something. He was told he had a naturally inquisitive mind. It must have been true. He remembered times at the Academy when Luke would teach him, where he would absorb everything his Uncle taught him and then would question while learning. So that was what he was doing there. It also helped him place a Force Presence on Elphie. Figure out what she felt like, if she had dark intentions or light. From a basic meeting he'd yet to draw a conclusion, but she was in the middle. It troubled Anakin a little, but he did not say anything.
"What is your definition of lively here?" Anakin hadn't really been around long enough to have a basis of how things were. He'd witnessed a few strange things that he was sure weren't of the norm, but if he would call them action or not yet was to remain unknown. The powers was certainly unsettling, since he couldn't feel half his family in the Force anymore. It felt like half of them had died, and left Anakin feeling cold on the inside. Left an unsettling feeling in the Force. And at the same time, his brother felt normal again. He was conflicted.
"What kinds of things happen here? Everyone only gives me a half story.." He knew they were trying to protect him because of how the last mission had gone, but in all honesty it was getting tiring. Anakin was a Jedi Knight. He could make decisions for himself and knew for a fact that he deserved to know the truth of the situation. At the same time he wasn't sure if what he thought was right or fair mattered. They were all so different...
His mind was back on his family. He couldn't help it. He remembered dying, it was traumatic. He remembered being stabbed, and the vong army flooding over him like ants swarming sugar. Now things were almost as he'd remembered them back home. Without Jacen being a Sith, without his sister being darkside..without all the damn complications.
He was brooding. But he had company, so he looked over at Elphie and smiled. "Do you hide here?..because you shouldn't you know."
