[There is the slightest pause, like someone setting down a pencil and looking up from their work, although there is no image, no feeling to accompany the silence.]
I have no pressing business. Where do you wish to speak?
[Teenage boy moves out of house and into parents garage.]
Very well. I shall meet you there.
[It will not take him long to make his way to the Hangar from the low parts of the station. A few minutes, perhaps as many as ten. Long enough for Anakin to decide how he would like to present himself, at least.]
[ add "teenage boy convinced teenage girl to room with him" and that assessment would very accurate.
there isn't much to decide. his clothing is taken from the station; only pajama bottoms make going to get dinner a little awkward. his little droid waits at his feet. eyes closed, hands folded behind his back, he might be thought to be meditating. instead, he toys with the force like a composer creating his next piece.
like music, it disperses when he turns. ] Thank you for meeting me.
Prince raises his eyebrows, the slightest sign of something close to surprise. Quite a serious meeting for having little to say to him before now. He had suspicions- quite likely he wanted something from Prince- but he knew very little of this member of Castor. He had felt his anger at a distance, more than once, but he hadn't done much of anything. Despite the power he had, so similar to Kylo Ren and Ahsoka's.]
Of course. [Prince dips his head, the slightest bow as he stands straight backed and stone still at a distance slightly too great to be truly comfortable.]
[ with his speedo, ok, dad. he wore it that one time, get off his case B( ]
First, to make my introductions, late as they are. [ obi-wan's absence is a constant companion, no more so than at this moment when he chooses to emulate his master. anakin rarely bothered with the niceties. that's what obi-wan was there for, and they suited him so well. stripped from his master's steady presence, anakin realizes how much he had depended on the man. partners, equals, complete together.
he is reduced to seeking counsel from the ghost of obi-wan. ]
I was indisposed [ as prince likely knew the moment it happened so anakin continues steadily, ] and since I've been catching up. That's one reason I called upon you. I've heard from my Padawan and my brood of what happened on the planet, but some are…biased in their telling. [ he's not naming names, but. you know who they are, dad. ] I hoped for a debriefing before our next mission.
[ he already knows of one that needs to be kept on a permanent leash. but anakin is confident on future occasions his presence alone will be able to curtail ren's more extreme tendencies. unless ren really wants to go for an impromptu swim again. ]
[Prince blinks slowly, his expression unchanged. He doubted very seriously that his answers will be met with total satisfaction on Anakin's part, but he will give them.
After, of course, he introduces himself.]
Introductions, then. I am Prince. Doubtless you have heard of me.
[He had had- interactions- with many of his brood and from his universe. And few of them had been without conflict. They had proven themselves to be troublesome. Many hosts were, but the combination- troublesome and powerful- was one he payed special care to.]
I can tell you what happened, although I would hesitate to call it a debriefing. Perhaps you should tell me what it is you have heard, so that I may skip to what it is you do not know?
