Love & War

Time Alone

Anakins POV

The maids took me and ahsoka to our asigned adjoining rooms and let us be. For the afternoon informing me that dinner was at 5:45 I thanked them as they bowed and returned to their duties. I entered my room consisting of a queen bed a holosvreen tv and two night stands with lights on them. I sat on the bed and unpacked my light saber placing it on the nightstand, my pillow, and a small wooden pendulum that I had been working on for a few days now. I lifted it into the air studying it as it swang I pulled my knife from its pouch and became to widdle away at it once more as I finished the design I took a rag from the bathroom connecting me and Ahsokas rooms and polished it. I took my lightsaber out and burned the rivets of the design. Finished with the piece I attached it to a beaded silver chain. It was perfect. It was a gift for Ahsoka. The beads mirrored the beads on her togrutan headdress impecably. I turned on my holopad to look at the time. Sighing, it was only 9 am. I scratched for activities in the area and found a few I liked. I booked a spa and dinner for tomorrow and figured ahsoka could use some civilian clothes and I was convinced she would be ecstatic to go shopping today. I walked out of my room and knocked on her door, scanning my wrist ID pad. The door opened to reveal a sleeping Ahsoka curled up on the bed. I sat beside her and admired her for a minute before grabbing her shoulder and giving her a gentle shake. She moaned and rolled over.

"Master, what time is it?"

"Nearly 10 snips, you were tired. But its time to enjoy outlr vacation civilian style"

I stated, rising from the bed. She grabbed her shoto lightsaber from its place on the nightstand.

"Snips we won't be in any danger. But if your really worried about it let R2 keep it"

I said tossing my saber to the droid who I had called off the ship to join us on our galavant through Naboo

"Ugh, fine."

She grunted mimicking my throw to R2. I noticed a bandage around her left leg as she put her boots on and buckled them down. I thought to ask about it but decided not to bring it up unless she did first.

"She is a tough warior"

I thought to myself as she proceeded to lead me out of her quarters with not so much as a stumble to show signs of weakness.

2 hours later

We walked into a booth that had a full selection of togrutan headdresses, outfits, and accsessories. Ahsoka had already picked out a tight fitting combat practice suit, an attractive maroon crop top, some white shorts, two piece swim attire,(at my urging) some red leather flex boots and matching gloves from other stalls. She bought everything with her own money and she was now looking at a teal loose and flowy fitting dress with gold accents and emerald stones outfitting the shoulder piece and the ankle peices as well as the headdress showing it to me
She turned on her wrist comunicator to check how many credits she had. I already knew she had more than enough. Satisfied with her overall balance she went to the merchant to purchase the piece. Two minute later she was walking down the market and back to our rooms content with her shopping spree. I had purchased teal stud stones identical to the color her lekkus markings to decorate the pendant I had carved for Ahsoka. And a teal studded dagger and dagger holster to stick in her boot for close combat situations when she was unable to use her lightsabers. I would give these and whatever else I found to her at the end of our vacation time. When we got to our rooms Ahsoka immediately tried on her new clothes and showed them off to me, neatly folding and packing each outfit into her bag. It was 3 or 4 ish when she finished her fassion show and finally selected the crop top and shorts to spend the rest of the day in. From where I was sitting on my bed I could see her laying on her bed enjoying a book. I got up off my bed. Completely intune with every sound and movement in the room Ashoka looked up from the hollopad.

"Ahsoka I am going to the gardens until dinner. You can come if you want. If not I will meet you in the dinner hall at 5:40. No later."

"Yes master"

She nodded and continued her book. Satisfied until I my leave.
