After what seemed like an eternity to Anakin, Ahsoka and him arrived at the conference room. Anakin, uncharacteristically out of breathe, took a quick moment to compose himself before the pair entered the room.
"How nice of you to finally join us, general Skywalker" spoke Master Windu, in a tone that seemed to reprimand and question as to why Anakin was late. Not answering the unspoken question, Anakin just took a seat at the round table that was placed at the center of the room, next to Obi-Wan. "Well now that we are all here-" he paused briefly to glance at all the Jedi sitting at the table, Anakin (who looked like he would fall asleep any moment), Ahsoka (looking of into space, daydreaming perhaps), Obi-Wan (looking curiously at Anakin), And Masters Luminara and Kit Fitso- who seemed to be the only ones actually paying attention. He started again "Now that we are all here, it seems the separatist have taken control of another planet in the outer..."
Anakins thoughts and worsening headache seemed to drown out Master Windus words. The more he tried to focus on the hologram that Master Windu was displaying, the more blurry it became. He lazily rubbed a hand over his face, feeling extremely exhausted and shivered slightly. The temperature of the room felt as though it had suddenly dropped 20 degrees and Anakin fought to suppress another shiver. 'When did it become so cold in here?' he thought as he rapped his arms around himself, but in a casual manner so it looked like he was only crossing his arms. Obi-Wan shot him a suspicious glance and he immediately sat up a little straighter in his chair. 'How much longer must this meeting last?!' he inwardly groaned, wanting nothing more than to lie in bed.
Finally, to Anakin's relief, the meeting ended. Ready to get the heck out of there, he stood up and began to walk out with Ahoska, But only to be stopped halfway by his former master. "Do you mind if I spoke to you for a moment Anakin?" asked Obi-Wan in his usually polite voice.
"Sure. Why don't you wait outside Ahsoka. I'll be there in a minute." said Anakin. Ahsoka grudgingly obeyed. "What did you want to talk about?" he spoke a little impatiently. "Are you feeling alright?" Obi-Wan's face showed honest concern. Any color left in Anakin's face instantly drained.
"I'm fine." He replied, a little too quickly and Obi-Wan just sighed, obviously not falling for the lie. He brought up a hand to check Anakin's forehead, but the act was interrupted as Anakin's eyes widened with....was that fear? He went to take a step backward to evade the hand, but ended up tripping over his own feet, ending up on the floor.
"Are you okay!" asked the concerned Obi-Wan as he held out an arm to help Anakin up. Anakin ignored it as he got up on his own, his cheeks red, but Obi-Wan wasn't sure if this was because of embarrassment or because of the likely fever Anakin had.
"I already told you! I'm fine!" he snapped, irritated. "Ahsoka is waiting for me, I will talk to you later." He said as he walked away.
"What did Obi-Wan want?" asked Ahsoka innocently when Anakin joined up with her again. "He..was just wondering how your training was going. I told him you were doing great." He lied. Ahsoka grinned from ear to ear from hearing such, the smile grew when she remembered something...
"Master, you said we could practice some lightsaber sparring today. " she said, growing more excited.
'Oh Force! She's right, I did promise her that a few days ago.' Anakin thought, slightly panicking. But then thought up a solution.
"uh, Sorry snips, we'll have to do that another day. Today we will be meditating."
"What?! Why?!" asked Ahsoka, the grin completely vanished from her face.
"...I broke my lightsaber." He applauded himself at how true that statement usually was, and there was no way that Ahsoka would not believe him.
"....Fine, but as soon as you build a new one, we're going to have a sparring match!" she said, glaring at him.
Meditating. Finally something relaxing, that took absolutely no energy to do. Anakin smiled, despite how terrible he felt. 'For one' he thought 'I think I'll actually enjoy meditating'
