Anakin sat at his table eyeing the group. After meeting them in Watto's shop and rescuing the Gungan from being squished he let them stay at his home. It was a quiet affair, as joyous as a funeral. The two tall men talked quietly at the end of the table. Jar-Jar was slurping up fruit and Padme was staring at her plate.
Anakin sighed, he was not a people person. Maybe if he engaged in conversation he wouldn't feel bad at making Padme feel sad. He knew he wasn't the root of the problem but he wasn't helping either.
"So, what are you doing here?" The girl's head shot up and smiled.
Anakin smiled back, a small feeling of happiness rose and was squashed back.
" We are here to acquire a hyperdrive. However--"
" You don't have any money. Or anything to barter with." Anakin eyes narrowed. He could help them, but what good would that do for him? His " mother" always praised the fact he would do anthing for anyone without selfess feelings.
"Wesa have nohning. The Jeda--oppsa." Jar-jar clapped his hands on his mouth. He said secret!
Padme noticed with discomfort that the room got colder.
" Jedi? You two are Jedi?" Anakin's eyes narrowed. Of course they were Jedi! How could he not see it.
The taller man spoke. " I did not wish to lie to you. Yes, we are Jedi. I am Master Qui-Gon and this is Knight Vos."
" I see. I could help you. There is a race coming,you could sponser me and with the winnings buy a hyperdrive. It shouldn't be that hard to convince Watto." Anakin wanted them off the planet as soon as possible. The sooner the better. He cannot have his old master find him. Not now, not ever.
-------------------------------------
Knight Vos stood next to Qui-Gon. It was by the Force that they had found each other. He could help their mission since he already finished his.
"Master, I feel a great forboding. The boy is dangerous. He dislikes the Jedi, why would he help?"
" But he is helping. I feel that this what I am suppose to do. I will go with my feelings. Anakin has unrivaled potential, he will become a great Jedi."
" What of Obi? He is still your padawan. You're not going to cast him away, are you?"
"Obi-Wan is ready for the trials. Soon he will become a knight, he will soon no longer need my teachings."
Qui-Gon left, leaving the knight alone on the balcony. The pull was yanking him even harder. He needed to meditate.
" You didn't answer my question. Qui-GOn?"
Vos huffed. Cryptic masters were murderous. He felt like a padawan again. He too left, to meditate. He did not notice the silent child that heard their everything words. The child too left, thinking about the changing scenes.
Yah, messa update.
