(Resolute, 19BBY)
He had been too silent before he relaxed to let himself before he seemed to try and think on it as he paused to let it all come to an end now and for good.
Ahsoka was too interested in what was growing. She sighed to let herself tire, the Togruta was too interested in what he would be able to try and figure out for now as he clicked his fingers.
He had no idea what was growing on his mind before he seemed to relax now. He had to relax either way or else he would scream and break inside like a glass statue.
Ahsoka looked over to Tracyn before he seemed to think of what she was doing with it. The Mandalorian was silent, knowing what was going on in his mind either way for now as he paused to let it all end.
Ahsoka seemed to be over it now, over it all. He could not blame her to begin with knowing what was going on and not wishing to take away the moment he had been thinking about.
To be honest? He did not even know if he could pull himself together and hope for the best of it all. He knew what was going on and he dreaded it sooner or later being deadlier than before.
All of it was harder and harder to figure out… Not once did it end purely and utterly, not once at all, he would not be able to relax, knowing what was going on.
Tracyn could not for the life of himself know what was going on, he had no real desire to. The idea of it seemed to be over with for good reason, all of it seemed to be dealt with for now…
He had a lot more to see and to do at the end of the day. This chaos was to end eventually… All that came next was a hard knock on the door before the bigger kick came in.
Such was life, life was good enough to eat, knowing what to handle for now. Ahsoka sighed and set her hands on her legs, knowing what would come next and not wishing it to be over.
She was tired, worn down to the bone at the end of the day, knowing what was going on. All of it would not stand, not when he could allow something better in it, better than him at the least.
He sighed, knowing what was going through his brain either way. His brain was ringing with answers as was Ahsoka.
The hanger seemed to fall quiet, soldiers loading cargo and milling around, the thrum of staff checking things as the fleet bugged out… It was almost like being in a trance.
To be fair? It was his first time in a major fight all before he clicked his fingers and he seemed to grow.
Ahsoka sat on her fighter, crossing her legs under her as she sighed, all of it hurt, it hit her like a damn train knowing what was going on.
"Skyguy will be here soon… Like usual." Ahsoka muttered, rubbing at her head-tails with anger and annoyance. She knew damn well what was coming.
Her master would show up soon and question why they had retreated, leaving her to explain that the fleet they had engaged had far more than enough soldiers to justify being late to the party.
Still? There was a different idea of what was to happen and what would come next… Such an idea would be harder and harder to stomach, knowing that her master was growing more and more tiresome with each little second.
Tracyn soon joined her as the two Jedi sat in silence that was taken apart. There was something to be had with none of it coming to task it with something better.
"Does Master Skywalker usually fly into fights head-on, not once questioning what's going on?" Tracyn questioned.
"Does a Gundark scream?" Ahsoka quipped as Tracyn hummed.
"Master Skywalker means well, but we both tend to get into trouble like this…. My first few missions were me getting into trouble like this, not knowing what's going to happen when I stop moving for even a second." Ahsoka stated in a tone that made her hum.
To be fair? It was not something she could deal with. All of it was odder and odder when all was said and done, not once did it become easier to deal with, and not once did they relax, letting it all come crashing to the ground.
To be fair? There was plenty of chaos, plenty to go around and spread through chains and channels, through the cuts and the bruises with it all being said and done.
There was nothing more annoying to the Togruta than knowing she had fought so hard for almost NOTHING. That every little mistake, every single little problem that came their way was another issue to try and figure out, knowing it would be tearing them apart.
He was too distracted, far beyond usual for it now and for good reason. Neither of them could truly afford these sorts of things and not once at all would be dealing with it for good reason, and that alone was enough to deal with it for now.
To be fair? Not once could they understand it as such topics would be dealt with for now as it was all said and done, she sighed and rubbed at her temples with each little thing hammering it in deeper.
She was tired, far too tired for now as it came down to something beyond all reason when this was all over at the end of the day. Another few seconds of silence seemed to be dealt with for now and for good reason.
All of it seemed to be relaxed, she could not think but she could act and that would be good enough for her now, knowing what it was and not wishing to let it be handled now.
There was a moment of silence as Anakin's starfighter seemed to enter the hanger, reminding her what had happened and reminding her that her master had been done and dusted.
Ahsoka said as she realized she was going to probably get a tongue lashing from him on how Jedi did not do something that she could not have foreseen.
'Master goes jumping into danger, it's fine when he does it. When I do it? No, you can't do that, Ahsoka. You might get killed, Ahsoka… It's so stupid.' Ahsoka thought to herself with some finality at the thought of how it sounded both impressed and depressed at the same time.
It almost made her laugh…. Almost for now. She was tired but she was worn down and she would continue to be thrown at the wall either way. It was odd and it was painful for now, knowing what needed to be done was going to be intense for now and without any type of remorse for now.
It would be easier said than done now and she knew that… She knew to the end that trying to be nice about things like this was not going to get results, she was not going to get anywhere if she was trying to be nice now.
Ahsoka looked over at Tracyn who was silent. She could not tell what was going on inside the mind of the Mandalorian. She was not even sure if he had much idea what was going on and she could not tell if he approved of how she was reacting for now.
It was not something that she could control, not something she could think about even as she looked skyward.
Then came the roar of engines as the fighter of her master seemed to finally park, engines slowly dimming as it went dark. There was a moment of silence as most of the hanger staff all paused to look over at them.
Ahsoka was silent as she looked over at her master. Why did he constantly throw himself into danger? Granted, she was not much better but at least she was trying to be more level-headed about it now.
Tracyn was silent, very silent as he looked to the side. He decided it was better if he did not get between the two Jedi now. There was a lot more to try and figure out anyway, more details to the battle to study, and a proper strategy was something that he would need to let the others figure out.
That? And he was not the proper Jedi to mediate between two people. His master had not taught her what was going on, she had not yet seemed to understand just how little a flaw there had been in their goals…. Something about it all was good enough to know it for now.
What he did know was that it was not going to be fun to be between the pair of people who had issues to work through… And whom he had been exposed to in his way when push went to shove.
She knew too much at the end of the day, too much had been lost that it hurt and so much needed to hurt when it was all said and done… So much that it might break it all into little pieces now and for good reason.
Her master looked at her, reminding her that of all things? It was so much clearer now, knowing that it was not going to die anytime soon.
All of it hurt, all the choices and such…. So much that whatever needed to be done? It would not be done and dusted anytime soon.
Her master stared across the room towards her as the Togruta stood her ground… Not once did she back down, knowing just how well it was going to be like when it all came down the line.
Something was going on… Something resembling a lecture. But it never came, it never would.
"Snips? Are you ok?" Anakin asked.
"Yeah, just tired, why?" Ahsoka asked.
"I was just curious, you seemed pretty exhausted," Anakin stated.
"Well, this went from a mission about rescuing a senator to us attacking a fleet that has us outnumbered… And you told me not to jump the Gundark." Ahsoka stated.
"Snips…" Anakin stated.
"What? I am just dealing with things that I must deal with," Ahsoka stated, a smirk on her face.
"Just… Wait here while I go talk to Master Kenobi. We were supposed to hand the senator off to him and then wait for further orders." Ahsoka heard.
She rolled her eyes as she realized that it was never going to work out like that. Why? Simple, it would take too much time for such a simple thing to take place.
Anakin was a lot of things but he was also much more straightforward when it came to certain things like her not understanding exactly how well it was to work.
She did not know how she put up with the man before now but it was clear now Anakin was trying to be mature and she knew if he tried. The least she could do was attempt the same now.
What she did not know was just how ridiculous it was going to have been trying to deal with something of this manner… In this way now and for a good reason at the end of the day.
All of it clicked into place softly. They both knew the more they attempted to figure something out. The more insane it became… What needed to be done would be done.
He of all people could not fathom how Ahsoka dealt with it. Perhaps a mere padawan like him was not meant to… What he could figure out was that everything was insane and he had no real point to it.
She and he both looked at once more as they thought once more… All of it became harder and harder to think of what was growing now.
Tracyn simply found Ahsoka odd but she was a good friend and he of all people would need to secure it now when it came down.
She and he both thought of what was growing for now as she paused to grasp for it.
"Hmm," Ahsoka stated before she rubbed at her nose as she sighed, grasping what needed to be done.
They were eager to get back to work…. Something about it all made her feel tired. She could guess that Tracyn was taking the problem when it came down to it.
Perhaps all of it became harder for a Mandalorian to take apart, she was unsure how he looked to the side…. Too easy to think of what was growing in his mind.
She sat on a Delta-Class Jedi Starfighter, too interested in the future as Anakin thought of the next move. The Togruta crossed her legs under her, not once considering the idea they were at war.
To be fair? The droid fleet was no longer their concern, they had other foes to dispatch… Other enemies to attempt to take down.
Anakin, either sensing what his student had or believing he no longer had work to deal with for now or other concerns for now. He slowly exited the hanger, starting to watch as the turbo lift seemed to lift upwards and towards the bridge at a rapid pace.
Each little idea of what was growing for now. Ahsoka thought of each little memory on her mind, each little idea that took up space… For her? There was nothing else for her to do, nothing beyond combat.
Tracyn, guessing she wanted someone to talk…. Guessed that such an idea was easier to figure out now when it came down to it.
She and he was eager to think of what was going on now when it came crashing to happening when it was said and done before it came done for now.
Ahsoka seemed to be thinking of what was eager to deal with for now… This was an eager little idea for now as he seemed to think of it now when it was all said and done.
Ahsoka was far too eager to think of what came next before it all came to a head by being better than this before it was all said and done and dusted before it was all over the end.
She seemed to be on top of things either way now. To be fair? It was not like he was entirely thrown off by it and he knew it, he knew each little moment was to be spent doing something more amusing.
He would certainly CONSIDER the idea to be odd but it was not like he had been able to think of it any differently.
He of all padawans was more confused than thrown off… Though, he did not consider it to be more than he had bargained with now.
All he could do was blink as if he was just TOO focused on trying to be better. All of it seemed to be different as Ahsoka looked over at Tracyn before he sighed to himself.
Tracyn was odd… He would not be able to think of it all the way to end for now and for a good end when it was all said and done when it was all said and done… Such an idea was too much, it would always be too much done for now and for good reason when push came down to it.
Ahsoka hummed as Tracyn sighed. She watched as he turned and then walked back towards her, interested in it to the end, he wished it to be done and dusted… Something about it all seemed to be easily done when it was all too done for now.
She did not even wish to be left alone with her devices. She wished to think of it properly when it was all over.
Such a thing would be odder and odder now when it came to it… She did not wish to think of it.
