-Which he only barely manages to parry by igniting his saber's second blade.

"You have chosen death for all those you came to save, then," he grits out as their blades lock.

"I am a Jedi Master. I do not have to choose. Your bombs are broken, your minions are scattered, and the only person facing death tonight is you, Sith."

Elesse draws deeply on the Force and shoves.

Permalink

He goes flying into the wall.

Permalink

Anakin gets away from the combat, takes a deep breath, re-centers herself - and grins, wild and vicious, and starts looking for openings to help Elesse in the fight.

Permalink

He peels himself off the wall before Elesse can impale him and resumes the fight.


But against both Elesse and Anakin, he's the one on the back foot. He holds his own for a short while- until a small explosion blows a hole in the wall and he flees through the smoke and rubble.

Anakin stays by Elesse's side, looking to her to see if they're pursuing or not.

Permalink

Not today.

"Black Sun was working with him. I don't know what other traps he might have prepared."

Permalink

Deep breath. (She's shaking.)

"Okay."

"Are we leaving?"

Permalink

"I don't think we can stay."

"Are you all right?"

Permalink

"...I'm not injured."

Permalink

Quick hug.

Permalink

Hug.

"Let's get going, then."

Then back to the ship, and a course set for Coruscant.

Anakin is maybe brooding a little. 

Permalink

"Do you want to talk?"

Permalink

She bites her lip. 

Then: "I - were you still reading my mind during the fight?" She guessing not, but, it'd make this easier if so...

Permalink

"I was not."

Permalink

"Can you - check my memories now?"

Permalink

"Yes."

She stretches out.

Permalink

And Anakin offers up her memories of the fight.

Her opponent's words. Her turmoil, her anger. Her uncertainty, in some ways, though it didn't register like that at the time.

Permalink


"He upset you."

Permalink

...Awkward shrug?

She'd been weirdly liking the fight until he opened his mouth. And - it wasn't exactly upset, but -

Would Elesse keep her even if Anakin was a bad Jedi?

Permalink

"Oh, Anakin." It's time for hugs again.

"I won't abandon you. Ever."

Permalink

Hugs!!! "I know," she mutters, and she does, but - tell that to the mean little voices in the back of her head.

Permalink

"Sometimes our demons stay with us longer than we want them to."
