Broody Spot Near the Rocky Bits, Saturday

Was Anakin Skywalker Palpatine brooding majestically as the wind caught his hair? Did things get weird in Fandom in December? Of course he was.

He hadn't slept since his confrontation with his father-who-wasn't his father, somehow, but everyone had walked away with all of their limbs intact which was, frankly, kind of an outlier in terms of fraught emotional conversations in his family.

He was turning the information over in his mind, trying to figure out how to make sense of it.

[OOC: For that other relative he's never met.]

"That seems like it could be a broad category," Anakin said.

Including whoever gave him that beanie. Yikes.

[vaderfanboy]

"Sometimes," he agreed.

[sith_happened]

"Who's son are you supposed to be anyway?" Anakin asked.

[vaderfanboy]

"Your daughter. Leia Organa."

THE ONLY GOOD ONE.

[sith_happened]

"And she lets you have that beard."

[vaderfanboy]

"No one lets me do anything," Kylo scoffed. "And I don't want to talk about it."

[sith_happened]

So touchy! How very unlike Anakin, who was incredibly stable.

"What do you want to talk about?" Anakin asked.

[vaderfanboy]

"What's it like? Never having to answer to anyone? Vanquishing anyone who stands in your way?" If he was being honest, he always felt like he had a way to go.

[sith_happened]

"I wouldn't say I never answered to anyone," Anakin said.

[vaderfanboy]

"No, everyone answered to you. You're the authority." Kylo knew better, of course.

[sith_happened]

Anakin preened just a little. "Well, that's mostly true, yes."

[vaderfanboy]

"It's completely true and you know it." Weird to use that tactic here but okay. "This is an honor."

[sith_happened]

Anakin would NEVER EVER admit to how much he was enjoying this. "Well, it's nice to meet you, too--"

Person?

[vaderfanboy]

There was the briefest moments where he debated which name to give. Then he decided he didn't really want to be embarrassed by the Solo name right now. "Kylo Ren."

[sith_happened]

There was zero percent chance that Leia had named her kid that, but Anakin knew that drama came easily in their family.

"I like it."
