As Anakin held Ahsoka in his arms, he had a flashback to their first meeting. Ironically enough, it had been right here on Christophsis. She was determined to prove herself. That was what drew her to him. Her stubborn determination to prove that she was worthy of being his Padawan. But she often needed him to remind her that she was worthy of being his Padawan. And he gladly reminded her. When her doubts reared their ugly heads, he reminded her that she was worthy of being his Padawan. Then Anakin snapped back to present day. He looked down at his wife. Seeing the look on her face, he decided to take action. He said gently: "come on. We're going to search for Katooni ourselves." Ahsoka looked up at him and said: "you're getting involved too?" Anakin said gently: "yep. I feel kinda partly responsible. I should have kept a closer eye on her. But I didn't. Besides, if we both look for her, we'll cover more ground that way. I can see that she's like a daughter to you. Also, she's my Grandpadawan. So, I feel like I should help you search for her." Ahsoka said: "thanks Anakin. I appreciate your help." Anakin nodded. Just then Obi-Wan came in with Katooni. He said: "pardon me, but I found this girl wandering around outside looking dazed and lost." Ahsoka pulled away from Anakin and looked at Obi-Wan. Then Katooni. Ahsoka ran over and pulled Katooni into her arms and held her close. After a while they pulled away. Ahsoka said: "Katooni, don't do that again! You scared me half to death! I thought something had happened to you! I was so worried about you!" Katooni looked down at her feet. Anakin spoke up and said gently: "Ahsoka, you don't have to yell at her. All that matters is that she's safe and in one piece. Calm down. I understand that you're upset. But Katooni doesn't need you to yell at her. She's a togruta. Her hearing is sensitive. Look at her closely. Believe me, I know how you feel right now. But, I'm sure Katooni has a good reason for what happened. Calm down and hear her out. I learned the hard way. Don't make the same mistake I did. Hear her out before you judge her for what happened. Come over here." Then Ahsoka stormed out. Katooni sniffled and broke down and cried. Anakin looked at Obi-Wan and said: "Obi-Wan, can you go after Ahsoka? I want to speak to Katooni alone." Obi-Wan nodded and went after Ahsoka. Then Anakin Force-pulled a ammunition crate over and sat down and took Katooni's hands in his and said gently: "Katooni, your Master isn't mad at you. She was just very worried. You're like a daughter to her. Wanna tell me what happened? I promise I won't react like Ahsoka did." Then Katooni told him what happened.
