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

Comments

[prydeful]

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

[redeemed_one]

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

[prydeful]

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.

[redeemed_one]

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

[last_master]

Nobody's seen Obi-Wan since he left the Speaking. The reason for this suddenly becomes clear, as he literally pulls himself together, coalescing out of a cloud of subquantum fluctuations next to the table.

"Sorry," he says.

[redeemed_one]

He cocks his head and looks concerned. "For what, Teacher?"

[last_master]

A half-smile. "For disappearing as I did. I couldn't quite help it, you see." He looks around him. "How much have I missed?"

[redeemed_one]

"About two weeks, I think. There was some excitement the other day, with Ron and his demon, and Luke proposed to Val. I think that's all the major news."

He looks down at his soup. "What did you think of the Speaking?"

[notinthefett]

And how about some Warren as well, why not?

Well, there's a lot of reasons why not, but let's disreguard them all for the moment and have Warren give Anakin a nod hello.

And even maybe say:

"Uh. Hey."

[redeemed_one]

"Hello." He sounds fairly neutral towards Warren.

[notinthefett]

Oh, yes, well sounds. Also: fairly.

"Just thought I say 'hey'," Warren informs him.

And now he's said it twice.

[redeemed_one]

"All right. How are you?"

Look, polite!

[empath_wiggin]

Val comes up from the side. "Hey, daddy. What's up? Need anything?" She smiles gently.

[redeemed_one]

"Hey, sweetling. I'm all right for now, really." He gestures at his soup.

[empath_wiggin]

She plunks down in the booth with a smile. "So. How have you been?" Her eyes twinkle.

[redeemed_one]

"Good. The fact Peter came back in one piece was a great relief."

[pjpettigrew]

Peter enters the bar and spots Anakin and his soup. Deciding that looks like a good idea, he orders a bowl himself. And hot chocolate. Because hot soup and hot chocolate go together.

"Hello, Father," he says, smiling.

[redeemed_one]

"Son," he acknowledges with a smile. "Have a seat?"

[pjpettigrew]

Peter doesn't have to be asked twice. He sits down next to Anakin.

"I'm sorry you were worried while I was gone," he says at last. "I didn't want you to be. I just...had to talk to Dumbledore. Like you had to talk to Obi-Wan.

"And have you seen Ron? I haven't. Not since the transfusion last week. I think he's all right--I hope that Bill or Hermione would have come and got me if Ron had needed medical help--but I don't know, you see."

[redeemed_one]

"I haven't seen him, but Bill says he's fine. I talked to him last night."

Anakin looks directly at Peter. "I understand. That doesn't mean I don't still worry. It's the priveliege of fathers to worry."
