Ajan Kloss- Tuesday after all that

[thatwaslucky]

Rey didn't even know how long it had been since this all started now. Though she was filthy and bloody- where had that even come from?- Ben had healed her and nothing hurt physically. She wasn't tired from lack of sleep and constant stress anymore. There wasn't even adrenaline that had to wear off. Emotionally though, she felt exhausted.

She had asked for a few minutes to clean up, and after a shower and a change of clothes she had Anakin meet her in her quarters on the Falcon. They needed to have a very important talk, and this was the most private place she had.


[im done spamming you! For the Master.]

"You're nothing like him," Anakin said vehemently. "Ever."

[thatwaslucky]

"I worried," she admitted.

[sith_happened]

Anakin reached out to squeeze her hand. "He was a reason to worry."

[thatwaslucky]

She squeezed it back. "I know I have a temper. And I kept having these visions, of me on a Sith throne, and if I knew how to do all these things because Kylo Ren unlocked it in me then what do I know that I shouldn't?" she said. "And then I found out about Palpatine, and this whole mission I've felt like I was spiraling out of control and..."

She was very much not out of control. But she'd felt it.

Anakin kept holding on. "And you wondered how much of it was in your blood?"

[thatwaslucky]

"He did, too," she confirmed. "I just... I always wondered if he was why."

"I don't think it controls as much of our lives as we'd wish," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"I much prefer fully making my own choices," she said.

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "I agree."

[thatwaslucky]

"This was a terrible way to learn these lessons," Rey said.

[sith_happened]

"It really was," Anakin agreed vehemently.

[thatwaslucky]

"Does it get easier, do you think?" she asked.

[sith_happened]

Anakin huffed a humorless laugh. "It has to."

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't know if that's reassuring or not," she said.

[sith_happened]

"Let's go with reassuring," Anakin said. "We need a win."

[thatwaslucky]

"I'll take it," she decided.
