Luna hadn't slept well. The circles under her eyes gave her away, as did the fact Anakin had checked on her late last night to find she was having bad dreams and had managed to cut herself off from the Force while she slept, preventing him from both ending the dreams and figuring out what was in them.
Anakin was worried. It felt like something major was coming and that he was flying bind straight into the heart of it.
And then there was Obi-Wan, who literally was flying straight into what was quite possibly a trap Sidious designed especially for the Jedi Master.
"Where are we going?" Luna asked as the walked down the halls if the Temple, bringing Anakin out of his thoughts.
"Command room's holocenter," he answered after a moment.
"Remind me what that is?"
"Part of Jedi Command, but it's practically the war room."
"Why?"
"Obi-Wan will be landing on Utapau any moment, and I plan on watching and listening to everything," Anakin replied. Luna stumbled, her eyes widening and her until then invisible Force presence shot through the Force with fear.
"Oh." Her voice nearly toneless and her face was crafted into a perfectly emotionless expression. Anakin studied her for a moment before putting a hand on her shoulder and reassuringly brushing his presence against hers.
"Everything with turn out fine. I'm sure Obi-Wan's got Grievous covered."
"Of course," Luna replied with a nod. This time it sounded like she was trying to convince herself as much as Anakin. He realized dully that it might not be Obi-Wan she was worried about, but this unknown event he could sense.
Or perhaps it was both.
