Anakin sighed as he kicked the force field that held him in his cell. He'd been caught speeding in a temple speeder that he technically shouldn't have been flying in the first place, and compounded his problem when he attempted to escape the CSF Traffic Patrol officer who had been flying in a much newer and better maintained speeder and incidentally had been a former racer himself.
If he'd just pulled over like he'd been told to, he'd have only gotten off with a ticket and a warning. But no, he had to go and get himself arrested.
He didn't know what was worse, the fact that he'd been arrested or the possibility that his master whose idea of casual everyday dress was a utility belt and nothing else might show up to bail him out.
He wasn't sure he'd survive the embarrassment of having his master show up at the station naked. He was still amazed that his master had actually worn clothes during the mission on which they had met. That had been a miracle that he'd credited to Qui-Gon Jinn since having his master fully dressed during a mission had practically become an impossibility since the day that great man who must have been some sort of saint had died.
As he was contemplating actually finding a religion and nominating Qui-Gon for sainthood, a commotion picked up at the end of the row. He immediately knew what it was since he could sense his master's presence.
All too soon, he found himself facing his master who stood on the other side of the force field that blocked the entrance to his cell in all his naked glory.
"You took your sweet time coming to bail me out." he said to his master, determined not to let his embarrassment at the situation show.
"Actually..." his master started, looking embarrassed. "Actually, someone else will have to come and bail us out. Apparently, I don't fall under the cultural exceptions to some sort of decency law that was passed way back when this particular neighborhood was its own city."
With that, a the rather apologetic looking CSF officer who had accompanied his master opened the cell and pushed his master inside.
