Lux comes into the kitchen to see her sitting hunched over the table. He cannot see her face or her arms that are tucked into her body, only her naked back and bare shoulders.
As he stands there, watching her quivering as she sits, he thinks that recently she is too often like this.
'Ahsoka'.
She moans and for a little while longer he stands watching her, and then, hesitantly, he places his bandaged hand on her bare shoulder.
'Ahsoka'.
She raises her head, her face is tear stained, her eye lashes matted.
'If you want to fuck me don't do that'.
'Ahsoka, who are you looking for?'
'Does it matter?'
He sits down opposite her and she raises her eyes to his.
'I do...I did love him'
'You don't love him, you adore him'.
'Please Lux, go away'.
'Don't tie yourself to some corpse you may never see again'.
'I don't'.
'After my mother died I learnt that if you take in someone else's poison- thinking it will cure them- it only kills you as well. Please Ahsoka, don't share the poison'.
'Go away'.
He stands up and walks out of the room, pausing by the doorway.
'Who is it?'
Ahsoka looks at him and says nothing.
'Its your former master isn't it?'
Ahsoka says nothing but looks away as a tear starts to roll down her cheek and Lux walks away.
