School gates [just before 2 o'clock]

Aug 29, 2006 14:41

Anakin had his bag and his lightsaber and a transport to catch.

He just needed to say goodbye to three people...and let go of Rory's hand, which he was holding like it was the only thing keep him upright.

[OOC: For Aeryn, John, and Rory, please. Very much for broadcast.]

Running out of ways to say woe.

Rory stood very still, not even really crying.

She'd never gone so numb in her life.

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:22:22 UTC

"I'm sorry," John says because it's really the only thing he can think of to say.

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:24:14 UTC

Rory shrugged. "It was inevitable," she said hollowly.

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:26:02 UTC

"I know." And, even though it's warm, he's cold. "Do you need anything?"

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:27:47 UTC

Rory gave a soft, humorless laugh. "Yeah. Anakin. If you can figure that one out, you'll take the title of Rory's Favorite Person."

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:31:26 UTC

"Sorry," he says and feels a little helpless. "I would if I could, you know that."

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:32:52 UTC

Rory gave him a tiny, tiny smile. "I know."

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:36:06 UTC

People leaving sucks.

He smiles back and says, "Anything else I can do?"

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:37:19 UTC

"Hug?"

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:39:27 UTC

"Of course," John says and steps forward to wrap his arms around Rory. "Hugs anytime."

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:45:47 UTC

"I'm going to need them," Rory said softly. "I hate this."

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:47:40 UTC

"It's really hard, I won't lie," John tells her quietly. "And it'll hurt. You should cry when you want to. But there's people to hug and hang onto. I promise."

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:49:51 UTC

Rory nodded. "I knew it, though. It shouldn't hurt like this when I knew it was coming."

Re: After Anakin's gone. whitedeathpod August 30 2006, 01:51:03 UTC

"No, it should hurt like this," John says gently. "I knew it was coming too. It's natural. You loved him."

Re: After Anakin's gone. auroryborealis August 30 2006, 01:52:08 UTC

"Present tense," she corrected quietly.
