I had to stop a Sith Lord, Anakin. Someone who helped end the Republic. And the Jedi.
no subject
[He closes his eyes and takes a shaky breath.]
I want to believe you. But how can I?
no subject
That's up to you, Anakin. It was the hardest thing I had to do. But I don't believe you're the same person I fought then.
You have to decide if you are or not.
no subject
...Is it easier the second time?
no subject
The second time?

no subject
I wasn't really letting go.
no subject
I know I'm not moving as fast as you'd like... You make it sound easy, but it's not. [His voice wavers.] And I don't know when I'll be forced to live it. If not this time, what about the next?
no subject
Of course I'm not tired of you, Anakin. I'm simply making friends. Getting to know people. That's all.
And I don't mind that you're not moving fast. I'm willing to be patient as long as you're willing to keep trying.

His head bobs in a shaky nod as he rubs at the tears welling up.]
Luke doesn't think so.
no subject
Luke doesn't have the full picture. He doesn't know.

[Because he sure doesn't. He can see why he made certain decisions, but he can't trace how he came to those conclusions. Maybe they were right and he was too old to train.]
Because I told the Council. I didn't choose him.
no subject
Then what happened?
no subject
no subject
That's what I mean by deviation, Anakin. You didn't walk that path.
no subject
no subject
Will you let it happen again?
no subject
[He looks up at him, teary eyed and despairing.]
If I don't keep what I know here... I don't know.
no subject
If it happened to you right here, right now . . . would you make those decisions?
no subject
[His instinctive response is rash and immediate. His thoughts come slower, showing first in the hesitation across his face.]
...But he's my friend. If he asked for help, I don't know if I could say no.
[To recognise a false offer didn't mean he could so easily discard the years he spent with him.]
no subject
No matter the cost?
no subject
What would you do if you didn't like the answer?
