ANAKIN AND I LOCK EYES AND I SPOT -WHAT I ASSUME TO BE- RELIEF WASHING OVER HIM. The pull has grown to a mere ache now. "Etta." He breaths out and I give him a curt nod, being mindful to the two other Jedi present. "General Skywalker, it's wonderful to see you again." I call out with a soft smile and his eyes trail over to my Chiss Padawan.

"Who's this?" He asks me, turning his gaze to look at me. "This is my Padawan, Darana Nexis." His eyes widen at my words and he frowns slightly. "Darana, this is General Anakin Skywalker." I tell my Padawan who bows her head out of respect.

"Padawan? Since when do you have a Padawan?" He asks me confused. "It was a shock to me also, Master Windu made Darana my Padawan a few days ago." Anakin nods his head and my eyes move to look at the young girl beside him.

"I'm Ahsoka Tano, General Skywalker's Padawan." I bow my head respectfully, my gaze locked on her nose. "Wonderful to meet you." I say and the Huttling wriggles in my arms. I move my gaze to look at Anakin.

"Would it be possible for you to communicate with your crew? Darana and I were sent here on an undercover mission with no backup." Anakin's eyes widen at my words.

"With no backup? That's so dangerous." I hum in agreement. "Yes, I agree. But if that is what the Master's wanted, then it must've been the right decision." I finish and Ahsoka moves forward, looking at the baby in my arms. "Would you like to hold him?" I ask her and she nods her head.

"Yeah, he's adorable." She gapes out and I move the huttling into her arms. "You must mind the smell, he has an incredibly disgusting odour." She pulls a face and Darana smiles at her slightly. "Hello." Darana smiles at Ahsoka and I turn to Anakin who lifts his Com-Link to his mouth.

"We've got Jabba's son and met up with General Novak and her Padawan. Any sign of General Kenobi yet?" Anakin speaks into the device and I watch as Darana and Ahsoka converse together. "Master, my Jedi training didn't prepare me for this? What are we going to do?" Ahsoka asks her Master who glances back at her.

"Well, since you think that smelly Larva is cute, you're going to carry it." Anakin moves past his Padawan and I look at her. "If you would like, I could carry it?" I say but she shakes her head. "I'm good, gotta prove to Master that I can do it." She says and pulls a face as the baby whines in her arms.

Darana offers to take it also but Ahsoka smiles at her and politely declines. I move my gaze away from the two of them and follow after Anakin. "I didn't expect you would put in a request for a Padawan." I say to him and he scoffs slightly, pushing a hand through his short hair. It's grown slightly.
