"to make sure we aren't being followed or stalked by one of those creatures."
he paused, studying the trees behind them for a moment.
"it looks clear and we're almost there anyways."
"maybe you're right. maybe it's the same for us both and that's why they sent us to this planet."
anakin chuckled, not serious in his response. he leaped over a minor hole before looking back.
"have you been watching behind us?"
“if you think the council wouldn’t question me .. you’re wrong. your disappearance would be my downfall. — so try not to be easy prey.”

anakin knew why the man laughed, and that only urged him to make the remark.
“i would have no problem hunting, but we are lucky. i would grow tired and weary defending such easy prey. eventually you would end up on a plate and i would have to explain to the council.”
“understood.” anakin gave a nod not wanting to press any further questions. when he looked up they were closer than he realized.
“this is it?” he questioned, unsure about the place.
“i did not.” anakin chuckled. “you only heard what you wished to hear.”
he followed alongside the other, occasionally glancing over his shoulder.
“so, what was the reason — for you being here the first time?”
it’s not for everyone, anakin knew that and he wasn’t wrong there was a lot of pressure on him. he cracked a smile for his last remark.
“i was only teasing. besides, lawbreakers tend to be in better shape.”
anakin turned to him, the corner of his lips curved downward in a false frown — mocking expression.
“don’t cry. i’m sure you aren’t the first jedi with a lawbreaking past. you certainly aren’t the first to envy me.”
“that’s because it was you* that offered a nap. it makes you the lazy one.” anakin arched his brow wondering what business the other would have here.
“here?” he paused. “were you running from the long arm of the law, jedi?” he moved aside for jesco to lead the way.
“you talk about me wanting to get food, but you’re ready for a nap?” anakin chuckled, “though i suppose it isn’t a bad idea to find a settlement before nightfall.”
“you’re insulting me after you called yourself a hutt? don’t bring me into this.”
anakin ran his hand over his robe to smooth out the creases than looked around the room at the nurses and patients that were eyeing them.

“don’t blame me. you’re the one that said it.”
anakin laughed and began to squirm, trying to free himself from the man’s hold.
“you would know, wouldn’t you.”
anakin looked down as the nurses approached, chuckling while recalling jesco’s leap.
“if that’s what you want to call it.” he mumbled the retort, then stepped aside for the nurses to take the twilek. it caught him by surprise when he was lifted. ↷
