@unwaivering 𝚊𝚜𝚔𝚎𝚍 :: With some convincing and maybe some pleading on her part, Violet was sitting in Dex's Dinner practically humming with excitement. Though she was not really showing it. Her shades were covering her blue eyes and she was tapping a gloved hand on the table as she waited. Anakin should be here. That's what Kenobi told her. Glancing at the watch on her wrist, she was sure she had the right timing.

it was a scenario not too challenging to fathom, given that most ‘fans’ were ordinary citizens who felt a profound debt to their saviors and expressed gratitude through generous donations of credits or resources to the grand army of the republic—an act of benevolence anakin found admirable.  peculiar individuals of the less normal variety, however, like those who rushed to mob him on the streets, seemingly oblivious to basic concepts such as personal space, approached appreciation in the most unorthodox of ways, to say the least.
the latest debacle had featured a rather zealous fanatic who claimed obi-wan kenobi had been harboring a secret family, and it was they who had given birth to all eight of kenobi’s children.  of course, the whole thing had been an absurd fabrication from the outset, but that didn’t stop the media from descending into a complete frenzy over the potential scandal.
it made sense, in a sad, terrible way, why people detached from reality, sedating themselves with parasocial delusions whilst wars raged on across the galaxy.                but then last night happened, and the entire world flipped on its head.  after hammering out a litany of overdue reports together, obi-wan admitted there could be truth to the claim, acknowledging a brief encounter with…

❝so, you’re the mysterious sister i never knew i had.❞ anakin blinked, pushed back his hood, then slid into the booth opposite his alleged sister, raising an inquisitive brow.

although his willingness to entertain this audience—a marked departure from his usual contempt for political maneuvering—was undeniable, the weight of a long day bore down on him, and he was long past the notion of continuing any verbal fencing.

               vader would see to it this ended quickly, a painless exchange for them both.  luke and leia, his little twin suns, patiently awaited his return.
the sanctum chambers resonated with mounting tension, a prelude to a delicate dance between power and diplomacy, territories he seldom traversed even in the past.  he’d been a jedi once, a warrior of peace and compromise, in what felt like a lifetime ago, but a jedi nonetheless.  despite his initial reluctance, vader would listen, if only to silence this woman’s incessant requests for an audience.  after all, he couldn’t simply kill her, not without risking access to desperately needed resources and possibly severing the many political ties established through long, painstaking hours of negotiations. . . . \\ @vibraea | @grdnglow
darth vader was a tyrant, but anakin skywalker was not. ❝i’m curious about what you think could be worth my while.❞  tilting his head, vader scrutinized the young woman’s features from a distance, his hooded eyes a pale burnished gold in the subdued light of the imperial sanctum.  ❝make your proposition, and understand the consequences of deceit.❞
