It had not been a restful night. Sleep had been hard to come by, despite the distractions Obi-Wan had attempted to mire himself in. Meditation had hardly been easier. Restless thoughts kept drifting out and into his mind; he had attempted to cast them out into the Force, and yet they persisted.

It frustrated him. He had thought he had released this part of himself, had at last been able to do what he had struggled to for years. Another lie I told myself. How many have I collected over the years?

Perhaps Qui-Gon had guided him here to expel his attachment to the Anakin that had been for good. To help him take that final step that would allow him to settle into his exile on Tatooine. But if that was the case, it was not working very well.

He had eventually given up on both sleep and meditation and settle in front of the window instead. That had helped some; he could look out over the plane of water before him and think about other matters. Such as Annileen, and her journeys. Had she seen her first ocean already? Had she marveled?

Slowly, his thoughts turned back to Tatooine, to the people he had met, and the people he was meant to guard. That, at least, settled him for a time, well past sunup and into the morning.

Anakin could have asked for Obi-Wan's room number like a normal person, but he chose instead to use the Force to arrive at the correct place.

He rapped sharply twice (much like he'd been awakened for much of his childhood) and stood straight, waiting for the door to open.

He didn't fidget, much as he was tempted to.

"Master," Anakin said, nodding his head. "You're still here."

He was a little surprised.

"Thank you," Anakin said politely, stepping into the room and looking around.

It looked just like every other room he'd stayed in at this hotel. He had no idea what he was doing.

Anakin's shoulders hunched. "For a given value of explain," he hedged.

Anakin had lost track of the number of times he'd gotten that look over the years, and it took his breath away.

"I made poor choices," he finally decided.

Well, YEAH.

Anakin's lips pursed. "Well, you didn't exactly stop me."

That was not helpful.

Anakin let out a long sigh. "Palpatine played all of us," he finally murmured. "Devious sleemo."

"I came back," Anakin said. "It...took a while."

Steel entered Anakin's voice. "Shouldn't have touched my son."

Anakin's face cracked into its first smile since Obi-Wan's arrival. "Very. He's a Jedi. Leia just had twins of her own."

"Oh, he still does that," Anakin deadpanned, "but in his defense sand is rough and gets everywhere."

I REGRET NOTHING.

Anakin rubbed his hand over his face and took a deep breath. "So I stopped by the office again today. Seems we're both supposed to be handling Ethics this semester."

He chewed his lower lip. "That going to be a problem?"

"Not unless they start it," Anakin said, which was...not very diplomatic.
