Sunlight streamed through the window as Anakin slowly came back
to consciousness, he suddenly bolted upright untangling the covers
from him. He glanced over at Kay who was asleep, and Dev who was
keeping watch. Dev looked over and smiled. "Good Morning Anakin."
"Dev? What are you doing here? And more importantly when did I fall asleep?" Anakin asked with suspicion even though he had a pretty good clue on what happened.
"You don't remember when you fell asleep?" Dev questioned. Leia told them what she did and everyone took turns staying with Kay while Anakin slept.
Anakin shook his head as it slowly came back, Leia? "Leia induced me didn't she, even though I had asked Han to not make any suggestions." Dev nodded in acknowledgment.
Anakin stood up and walked to the fresher, Dev turned his attention back to Kay as she came out of her sleep. "How are you feeling this morning?"
"Better, where's Ani?"
"Good, Anakin's in the fresher he will be out in a few minutes." Dev answered with a smile.
Kay smiled then frowned, "I hope he isn't too mad."
Dev shook his head, "No he didn't sound mad."
"Ok."
Kay smiled as Anakin walked back out his eyes clear. "How did you sleep?"
"Good. Leia's good at inducing a force sensitive isn't she?"
Kay nodded, "Yeah she is. You needed it and I hope you're not mad with her for looking out for you."
Anakin shook his head as he took up the second chair beside Dev. "No I'm not, I guess I'll have to accept the fact that she is looking out for me despite the past we used to share."
Padme walked in and smiled, "You look better this morning Kay."
"Yeah I feel better, though I think the bruises will be with me for a while now." Kay answered as Padme walked up to them. Dev stood up to let her sit, "Ani, you do look better this morning as well."
"Thanks." Anakin answered as he took Padme's offered hand.
"You're not mad with Leia are you?" Padme questioned.
"No maybe she was trying to tell me something." Anakin answered with certainty.
"Yeah get some sleep and no argument." Padme answered with a mischief smile.
"She is a lot like you." Anakin said with certainty.
Padme nodded as she stood up. "We're asked to attend a court hearing this morning."
Anakin shook his head, "If they knew about the bribe then the whole case will not fall through."
"My thoughts exactly." Padme agreed.
"Dev can you stay with Kay?" Anakin asked.
"Sure no problem." Dev answered. "Even though Luke and I have lessons this morning."
"I'll call him and tell him what's going on."
"Thank you Master Skywalker." Dev answered.
Anakin and Padme walked.
Dev turned his attention back to Kay who looked worried. "Don't worry, everything will turn out in the end. You'll see." Kay nodded in acknowledgement but she couldn't dispel her anxiety.
