CHAPTER TWELVE.
Upon Anakin's return, the events of the previous day were forgotten. Well, at least, Elly tried to forget them. It was hard but she was distracted with Anakin's presence once again. He seemed exhausted yet had a new sense of energy after the mission.
When Obi-Wan came to pick Elly up before breakfast, Elly was thankful that Anakin interrupted and joined them on their walk. It meant that neither of them could speak about it, it wouldn't be addressed and hopefully the awkwardness could be left firmly in the past where she wanted it to be. Well, where she wished she wanted it to be left. But those were not feelings she wanted to grapple with so early in the morning.
Instead, she focused on breakfast and eating. They had to train together soon and she hoped that Anakin and Ahsoka's presence could serve as some sort of distraction from her incredibly cluttered and un-Jedi like thoughts
But, they were not so lucky as to get a distraction. Anakin, instead, seemed to sense the awkwardness between the two and he was ready to ask what it was but he knew he couldn't. He knew something must have happened. He had sensed them both in his room. But he couldn't ask what, he knew he couldn't, Obi-Wan would scold him for being nosy and for suggesting that he went against the code. So he waited for Ahsoka to appear instead. She, he had no doubt, would happily point out the awkwardness. He was counting on her outspoken nature.
So as the trio sat down and began to eat, the small talk was to the minimum. Anakin felt suffocated by the awkwardness. Despite his attempts to make conversations and lighten the mood, the pair simply could not enjoy their time. So, when Ahsoka sauntered through the door, he had never felt so relieved.
"Hey Snips," Anakin said as she appeared next to Elly, holding a breakfast tray. Ahsoka sat down and looked from Elly to Obi-Wan who had been sitting in silence eating their food. It was obvious that something was wrong.
"What happened?" Ahsoka asked as she looked to the Jedi Masters. Elly looked to the girl and smiled, swallowing the rest of her food before she let out a response.
"Nothing, I was just thinking. I had a late night," Elly smiled as she cut up some more food and began to eat it. Ahsoka then looked to Obi-Wan who hadn't even bothered to look up from his food which he had been pushing around his plate for the past few minutes. Ahsoka had never seen Obi-Wan so quiet and... awkward. It was odd.
"Did you two do something you weren't meant to?" Ahsoka asked as she continued to eat her food. It was so blunt that it caught Elly completely off guard. Elly practically glared at Ahsoka, silently scolding her for her words. Elly gently shook her head as she finished off her meal, a soft sigh escaping her lips. Obi-Wan then dropped his cutlery and got up from the table, leaving promptly. Elly watched as he disappeared out the door. They had already arranged to meet in half an hour since Elly needed to check on the Gardens before training.
"Will you tell us?" Anakin asked as Elly looked back at the pair sitting at the table. Elly sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. She picked up her glass and took a long sip, leaving them in the silence while she mulled over what to say, unsure whether to tell the truth.
