Anakin was relieved to be out of the Halls of Healing. He found himself seeking out Jinx and O-Mer's companionship and the two younglings were thrilled. They had practice sessions with the remotes and in the time the trio grew closer in their friendship despite the age difference.
While Anakin was recuperating, the Jedi Council was getting a new Padawan learner for him to train. Getting back to normal Jedi life was best for his healing.
Yoda and Windu were away on Naboo where the new Padawan was finishing beginning training. When they returned a few days later, Anakin was summonded before the Jedi Council. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen. He had been spending most of his time with Madame Jocasta in the 图书馆 and hoped he could continue to work there. He didn't want to go on the front lines ever again. There were too many memories of Ahsoka and the pain of her death was still too fresh.
"Better 你 seem, young one," Master Yoda 说 a smile appearing.
"Thank you, Master Yoda," Anakin 说 as he bowed, "Can I ask 你 a question?"
"Of, course."
"I would like to stay on Coruscant working in the 图书馆 with Madame Jocasta."
Yoda rubbed his chin.
"Needed as a general 你 are, young one. That is where 你 excell at. A natural leader 你 are."
"I..know but..."
"Afraid 你 are," Yoda 说 looking Anakin in the eyes. The young Jedi looked away and nodded.
"Understandable that is, but return 你 must. A new Padawan learner 你 will receive."
"What?!" Anakin 说 his eyes widening.
"Anakin," Mace Windu answered, "You are a gifted teacher. 你 proved it with Ahsoka. I know 你 still grieve for her but 你 must 移动 on and the best way is to train a new Padawan. We have one working on Naboo right now with Masters Plo and Sinube."
Anakin's eyes widened more.
Naboo? he thought, maybe my new Padawan is Gungan 或者 perhaps human. He had heard of several Gungan younglings who were starting their training and were 展示 promise. A Gungan would be a challenge but a welcome challenge to heal over Ahsoka's death. He still cried for her at night while he was alone in his quarters.
"When will the new Padawan arrive here?" he asked.
"She will be here tomorrow."
A female Gungan? Might be interesting...
"I hear 你 are getting a new Padawan," Madame Jocasta 说 as her and Anakin enjoyed a quiet 晚餐 in the mess hall.
"Yes," he answered, "I think she is a Gungan from Naboo."
"How do 你 know she will be a Gungan? She might be a human 或者 a female of another species."
Anakin just shrugged his shoulders giving his friend a familiar cocky smile.
Jocasta smiled and patted his cheek getting him to blush.
"That's the Anakin I like to see. A smile on your face."
Anakin blushed even 更多 at her maternal response and touch. He looked down and then up swallowing hard.
"I've never thanked 你 for taking such good care of me while I was sick. You've showed me the comfort and 爱情 of.....a mother. Makes me realize how much I still miss my mother Shmi."
She saw the pain in his eyes at the memory of his mother's death and the revenge he took for it.
"Don't 你 worry, child," she 说 placing her hands on each side of his face, "I'm always here for 你 if 你 need me, and don't forget that."
Anakin blinked his eyes and smiled more. He reached over and hugged her while 接吻 her on the cheek.
"I 爱情 you," he whispered and got up to leave.
"I 爱情 你 too, child," she 说 her eyes tearing up.
Anakin no sooner left the mess hall when he was met 由 Jinx and O-Mer. He was always happy to see his two newest friends.
"Master Skywalker." they both 说 while bowing.
A smile crossed Anakin's face and he layed a hand on their shoulders.
"You can call me Anakin if you'd like," he said.
The two younglings smiled and nodded.
"You two game for some remote practice? 或者 are 你 too busy."
"No Mas....uh Anakin," Jinx answered noticing how pale Anakin still looked. He had 迷失 weight and didn't seem much bigger than either of them.
"Sounds great," O-Mer 说 smiling. Both of them had grown very fond of Anakin and were worried about him since the memorial. Obi-Wan kept them informed of his condition but were disturbed of the fact they were denied visitation to his bedside.
After practicing for several hours they grew hungry and headed to the mess hall.
Anakin seemed a little 更多 quiet than usual and they were worried. They felt the grief he still carried but now down deep. The affection he felt for them was not unlike that of siblings. O-Mer and Jinx became Anakin's younger brothers.
"Can I tell 你 something?" Anakin asked as they continued to eat.
O-Mer and Jinx nodded.
Anakin bowed his head and for a moment the younglings thought he was about to cry. They waited for him to speak.
"I never could bring myself to thank 你 two for bringing Ahsoka home...until now."
"Anakin..." Jinx began to say.
"Let me finish. From what I've read of your testimonies, 你 took care of her as she did you. That's true friendship. I'm proud to have both of 你 as my friends. Too bad 你 already have Masters to train under. I'd welcome either of 你 as my Padawan learner but...the Jedi Council is getting one ready for me. She is from Naboo."
"Naboo?" O-Mer asked, "Is your Padawan a Gungan?"
"Maybe...or human. I won't know until tomorrow."
"Thank 你 for considering both O-Mer and I," Jinx answered, "From what Ahsoka had told us of you...you are a gifted mentor and she was proud to have been your Padawan. She 说 that before she....died."
Anakin swallowed hard feeling the tears forming in his eyes. He blinked them away but still felt the pain of grief. He was determined to be strong for the new Padawan, whoever she would be.......
