Anakin sits in a booth, eating a bowl of soup. It's cold outside.

Kitty comes up almost nervously and smiles. "Hi. I was hoping I'd see you."

He smiles. "Hello, Kitty. Have a seat."

She does so, setting her bag down and pulling two things out--a smaller bag, which she sets on the table, and a dragon, which she sets on her lap. "This is for you. Because. Well. You were nice. And I haven't really had a lot of nice since Wing...well. So, this is for you."

The dragon snores.

He takes the bag and looks at it. "Thank you. You didn't have to, you know."

"Well, no, but I wanted to. Cause I was grateful."

Inside the bag are several components, Shi'ar, Skrull, and Kree in origin. Sorta an alien technology grabbag.

"That's nice of you." He fishes around in the bag. "I've never seen this kind of technology before. Thank you again."

"You were kind," she says simply. "You didn't need to be, but you were. It helped."

A smile. "I live to serve," he says gallantly.

The dragon hiccups in his sleep and shoots a tiny poof of fire through Kitty. She isn't bothered. "Thank you. I--I haven't," and she looks down, blinking. "I haven't been doing so well. And everything at the institute is awful right now, and I needed, you know. Niceness."

He puts an arm around her. "What's wrong, Kitten?"

She's not quite crying. "He was my student. I was supposed to keep him safe. And I should have known that he was going to do that. If I lost my powers, I'd be upset, too. But I didn't think and now he's dead and who in their right mind would make me a teacher?"

He strokes her hair. "Shh, shh, slow down. What happened?"

"They took his powers. They made it so he couldn't fly. And he jumped off a cliff." It's miserable.

Anakin thinks of what life would be without the Force. And he remembers the armor. "Oh, that's terrible."

He pulls her closer. "It's not your fault, you know."

"It is my fault. He was my responsibility. I was his advisor and teacher and just...I shouldn't be. A teacher. I'm not good enough."

"You couldn't choose for him. And that's what he did: he chose."

He kisses her temple. "You did the best job you could. That's all that can be asked of you."
