She held on tightly, staring out the window for a few minutes. "Want to try to sleep for awhile before I have to go to my writing workshop?" She glanced up at him. "Or I could skip it, if you want me to stay with you."

"You're not skipping your workshop," Anakin said firmly. He looked at the clock. "And you can still get a few hours of sleep before it starts."

He walked back to the bed and sat down. He wasn't at all tired.

"You need to sleep too," she told him, lying down and watching him as worriedly as one can while still blinking blearily and obviously working to stay awake.

"I'll sleep," he said, making sure not to mention exactly when that might happen. He began rubbing circles on Rory's back, half to put her to sleep, half to reassure himself that she was still there.

"Wake me up if you need anything," she said emphatically, eyes drifting shut. "In fact, 'm not even going to go to sleep. Just resting m'eyes."

"I will," he reassured her, lowering his voice.

"'Cause 'm not sleepy," she murmured, curling towards him and snuggling into her pillow.

"Right," Anakin said, continuing to rub her back.

His eyes were flickering around the room again, seeing ghosts and images that weren't there.

He knew they weren't there. The Force told him they weren't real.

It didn't stop him from seeing them.

Rory's breathing evened out, her lashes fluttering with what were probably incredibly pleasant dream in contrast to Anakin's.

As her sleep deepened, she reached out for him, mumbling something into her pillow.

She'd never been one to rest well when worried.

Anakin pulled her a little closer and murmured soothing nothings that he didn't really believe, then went back to staring off into space.
