Evelyn and Gungi are walking to the mess hall after their training, "I hope I didn't push you too hard today," Evelyn says, wiping sweat off her brow.

Gungi shakes his head, "I enjoy the challenge, Master," Gungi says back, happy that he's being pushed to be as great as he can be.

Evelyn closes her eyes, still seeing visions of Anakin's death in the Senate, trying not to focus on it too much.

The two keep walking before she runs directly into someone, "Oh, sorry," she looks up and sees Anakin looking down on her with a giant smile, causing her to go a little red-faced.

"Watch where you're going, Zaad," Anakin teases before looking over at Gungi, smiling at the wookiee, "Are you going to introduce me?" Anakin teases, giving a greeting nod to Gungi, who instantly senses the connection that these two Masters have.

Evelyn's eyes snap over to Gungi, quickly seperating from Anakin, "This is my new apprentice, Gungi," Evelyn motions with a smile on her face, "Gungi, this is my old Master, Anakin Skywalker."

Gungi stands frozen in his place, not fully believing that he's meeting the Master Skywalker - the Jedi that he's looked up to for the past three years.

"How's it going?" Anakin asks, bowing respectfully to Gungi.

Gungi gets a hold of his shock before responding, "Pleasure to meet you, Master Skywalker," Gungi says with a bow.

"Where are you off to, Master?" Evelyn asks teasingly, a smirk plastered on her face.

"The Chancellor invited me to an opera," he says, returning the smile, "I'm not sure what to expect, but I'll enjoy the time I have with him," Anakin assures before nodding at Gungi, heading to his location.

"Anakin, NO!"

Evelyn shoots up from her bed, looking to her left as Anakin sleeps peacefully next to her. She doesn't care if she's leaving him, she has to go somewhere.

Anywhere but here.

She doesn't know why, but she's making her way towards the Senate Building.

Around an hour later, Evelyn emerges from the building, entering her blue Jedi starship, launching towards the skies of Coruscant.

"So, why are you here?" Obi Wan asks as the two walk across the rafters above General Grievous and his army.

Evelyn's not entirely sure if she's being honest, "I had to clear my head," she says. Technically that was true. She can't stop having nightmares about the Jedi Order falling and Anakin's death.

"And leaving your apprentice on Coruscant and coming to help me end the war was the way to do that?" Obi Wan asks teasingly, but understanding her point.
