Yeah. 

(...She doesn't really know what to do with herself right now. When she can't curl against Elesse or try to sleep, and when the contents of her head are... Unpleasant like this.)

Permalink

They could try meditating together. (Elesse is only a little worried this will break down the walls she's put up to keep functioning.)

Permalink

...Depends on if Elesse wants - to hear everything at once, or a bit at a time as - she's able to handle it. 

Permalink

...A bit at a time might be better.

Permalink

Okay. 

...Does she have anything Anakin can read or do? To get her mind off of the everything. 

Permalink

There are a myriad of logistical things Elesse had been intending to arrange during this trip. It would be helpful for those left behind...

Permalink

- She doesn't know if she can. Do that. Mentally. 

Permalink

That's entirely fair. Elesse has her library on her datapads still, though she has not had time to read for pleasure in quite a while.

Permalink

Neither has Anakin - reading through Elesse's library sounds nice. 

Permalink

Will she need any help setting up?

Permalink

...Probably. She can use the Force still but it's awkward to type with. 

Permalink

Then Elesse will aid Anakin before tending to herself.

Permalink

Best Elesse.

Permalink

She's... doing her best.

Permalink

Anakin knows they have a lot to talk about with what happened, but - 

She loves Elesse. 

Permalink

Despite everything.

She loves Anakin too, which is the important bit.

Permalink

(Happy Anakin!)

It's the most important part. (Elesse still loves her and wants to keep her so Anakin can't have fucked up too much.)

Permalink

Mm. They'll make it work.

Permalink

Yeah. 

Right now: meditation and preparation for Elesse, and just... Unwinding for Anakin.

And shortly before the fleet is due to drop out of hyperspace, Elesse sends out a quick flurry of orders which have the combined effect of clearing a path to the shuttlebay, ensuring one is unattended long enough, and that the doors are permitted to open long enough for their chosen craft to streak out and execute a brief Force-guided series of microjumps to shake off pursuit.

Anakin is really helpful for that - her sensitivity to the Force is a lot higher than it was when she was a padawan. Higher than the vast, vast majority of full Masters - possibly higher than anyone alive, though that's harder to figure. 

Permalink

They may need to do some more training to help her adjust.

If Anakin's willing.

Permalink

- Maybe in a little bit. 

Touching the Force feels weird right now. 

Permalink

Elesse would expect so. Does Anakin think she can take over flying for a while?

Permalink

Definitely.
