Jacen and Jaina had always been the more talkative siblings. Anakin found that without a twin he was left mostly to his own devices. Sometimes that meant literally. Tinkering with machinery came as natural to him as breathing did to others. Lately he found himself spending more and more time alone again without Elena to keep him occupied. He wasn't really a social butterfly despite being the nephew of Luke Skywalker. Back home that meant people would often stare at him curiously. He was the Jedi's hope, the one rumored to possibly one day take Luke Skywalker's place of the Academy.
In Kansas he was just another face in the crowd. He wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a good thing or bad, but on the surface it didn't seem to change him much save for his new quieter outlook on life. Anakin watched Luke despite the presence of his mother. He had always been curious. Even at the Academy he often ventured away from the safety of the temple walls. This was just like another adventure, a new Luke. It meant new possibilities. Would this Luke hide away in his room or would he assist in the apocalypse prevention? Judging just based on the new more welcoming feeling Anakin got hovering near his Uncle's room he felt like it would be the latter and it caused the boy to relax some.
"An hour." He responded quietly to his mother's question and blinked as he felt the nudge from Luke, peering in at him again innocently. Pushing some of his soft dark bangs away from his eyes he gave a faint smirk and reached out to nudge him back with the Force. Poking him a little and hiding against the wall again and looked at Leia.
"Maybe this time will be different." He stated, showing a little more confidence then he had the last few days.
