[ patience. that's what obi-wan would suggest in a situation like this. patience. but, patience was something that anakin skywalker had never been very fond of or good at and now certainly wasn't helping him get any better at it. if anything, it was making his impatience worse. this place was a brick wall, an impenetrable wall the jedi general

Are... you all right?

[notvader]

--huh?

[ anakin hadn't anticipated an answer (of any kind) in response to his self-babble, but his answers to the how of the why are given once he spots the journal lying open not a few feet away from him. he pulls it to him with the force, sighing in obvious irritation with the object he considers to be more of a burden than a helpful tool in this place. ]

I'm...fine. Just fine.

[foodovermystery]

[And his tone is hard to miss.] If you say so. I'm sorry to bother you.

[notvader]

I do say so.

[ is his immediate response, but he soon realizes he's snapping at someone who isn't deserving of his temper, as padmé would say. padmé. force, he missed her. more so than he did when he was off in the outer rim fighting. at least there, he had contact with her. ]

...I'm sorry. It's not your fault this blasted thing was open.

[Random voice on Derek's journal, say hello to random voice back. And the sound of chalk on...drywall?]

Not always easy, but usually worth it [is his distracted reply]

[Voice]

[notvader]

[ anakin snorts in response, having been previously alerted to his journal's intrusion of his privacy by yako. ]

Depends on the worth. Everyone has their limits. [ a huff of a sigh. ] Even me.

[Voice]

[derek_bliss]

Guess that would be up to you, then.

And yeah, everyone does. What's pushing you to yours?

[Voice]

[notvader]

You-- [ don't want to know? can't begin to fathom? ] --wouldn't understand. It's complicated. Personal. Not something I really want to talk about.

[ only he does, but anyone who would be qualified to give him any sort of worthy advice is back home in a galaxy he's currently unable to reach. ]

[silviteadvocate]

Patient...?

[ voice ]

[notvader]

[ that sound you just heard was anakin sending the journal flying across the area of the forest he's currently sitting in to slam against the side of a tree. and that grumbling would be him actually getting up from his spot and stomping over to the thing to pick it up with his hands instead of using the force again. ]

[ voice ]

[silviteadvocate]

[ Oh Moons, that wasn't a good sound and Fina is taken back for a moment by what she heard, until she finds her voice again. ]

I-I'm sorry.

[ voice ]

[notvader]

It's not your fault.

[ yet, he still doesn't sound too happy. he's not annoyed with fina. he's annoyed with the journal, with luceti, with this whole borked situation. ]

[packedapunch]

You okay?

[notvader]

[ so much concern from strangers here. in a way he was comforted by it, for such selfless concern reminded him of the jedi, who he should very well be with at this very moment instead of here, alone, and without another force sensitive mind to keep him company in the mists of what should very well be silence; but on the other hand, it annoyed him. anakin didn't know what he wanted, which had always been part of his problem. to be spoken to or to be left alone? he didn't know. he always wanted answers, but he always ended up so in the middle of everything that neither answer seemed to please him. ]

I will be. I have to be.

[packedapunch]

[Tifa taking on a maternal role did wonders for her ability to be concerned about anyone in Luceti, stranger or not. She picked up something in his tone that suggested he may not have appreciated the concern, but Tifa wasn't the type to let that sort of thing stop her.]

Luceti seems to bring out the worst in us, sometimes. I guess because sometimes it just feels... static. [She hadn't even been here long enough to ascertain whether it was like that usually or not- but even being away from home for a few weeks made her realise that it was a very different environment from what she was used to.]

[notvader]

Static. That's...actually, that's a really good way of putting it. I'm not used to being static. I have things to do back home. I should be training a padawan and fighting a war, not sitting around this place waiting for something to happen. It's maddening!
