[ Anakin frowns slightly, reaching for his own cup and sniffing it. Sure, it doesn't smell like high-quality caf, but it does have a smell. ]

What do you mean? I can smell it.

[She sticks her nose into the mug and frowns after setting it back down]

Yeah, nothing.

[hopesparks]

[ He frowns in concern. ]

Are you getting a cold?

[forcechanic]

I don't feel stuffy.

[Not that she's any better than their parents about being sick]

There's just nothing.

[hopesparks]

[ Anakin suspects this could be some Trench nonsense, which sets him on edge a little. ]

Does anything else feel off?

[forcechanic]

I've barely figured out what normal feels like here.

[Bad timing that.]

It's just the smell, I think.

[hopesparks]

[ Well that's a relief. For the moment. ]

If anything changes or it doesn't come back by the end of the month, let me know. I think it has something to do with the Trench.

[forcechanic]

So I just need to get used to weird things happening for a month before we worry?

[This is annoying, but it shouldn't stop her from doing anything at least]
