Emo Beach [afternoon]

Mar 02, 2007 14:13

Anakin wasn't really paying attention to the weather--which wasn't precisely beach-friendly--as he perched on a rock and watched the waves crash against the shore.

His mind was whirling a little too fast with memories of what he had done--and who he was about to admit it to.

Faithful really, really hated sand. Which is why he was perched on some rocks behind Anakin. "Meow."

Anakin didn't jump, but it was a close thing. "Faithful," he said quietly.

Faithful made himself more comftorable by getting rid of as much sand as possible with his tail. "Anakin." He paused. "Among others."

Anakin bit his lower lip. "You knew."

It wasn't a question.

Faithful? Absolutely fascinated by his tail. "Putting it in the most basic terms possible: None of my business."

"I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the majority opinion if this got around," Anakin said, still focused on the waves.

It was easier than making eye contact.

"It won't be." Faithful said casually. "But they're not cats. So what are you hoping to accomplish by coming back?'

"I want to make things right," Anakin replied. "Or at least undo some of the damage I've caused. Staying home and being executed wouldn't quite cover it."

Faithful gave Anakin a Look. Or possible groomed his tail. It was hard to tell. "It would make people in your galaxy feel better." He pointed out.

"They believe Vader is dead. The Emperor is dead, and the Alliance has a real shot of becoming a legitimate government," Anakin said. "I would merely be a distraction from that."

"And here?"

"Here..." Anakin trailed off. "Here there are still people who knew me...before. Having to explain what came after," --he thought back to his discussion with John-- "is my version of a living hell. Death, frankly, would be easier."

"So what, you're going to choose the easiest path? Again?" Faithful was fascinated by his rock.

"No," Anakin said firmly. "I deserve to suffer. It hardly comes close to almost twenty years of atrocities." He paused, trying to stop his voice from shaking. "The trillions of lives I ended."

Faithful nodded. "Are you going to tell them?"

"I'm working on it," Anakin said quietly. "I told John before you came. It...didn't go well." He stared down at his clasped hands. "Not that I expected it to. He's a decent human being and I was a monster."
