Anakin couldn't put his finger on what exactly was wrong, but he'd gotten jumpy as soon as he'd hit the causeway this morning. It was an overused Jedi cliché to say he had a bad feeling about things, and yet...

So soothing music was playing from his ridiculously tricked out stereo and he sat quietly in the middle of his floor, intent on meditation.

The door was open.

All of the revulsion and fury Anakin felt for these men--and it was far from a small amount--was carefully slammed behind his shields. Raven didn't need to be hit with more negative emotion.

"And that's what happened to Karla?" he asked.

"To her dear friend, Jaenelle," Raven said. "Karla tried to help her heal and got caught up in the memories." She wondered if the same would've happened to her if it had been Karla and she had been the one to attempt to heal her. "We found her attempting to protect Jaenelle...and then taking her place."

Despite his best efforts, Anakin was looking a little green. "I'm so sorry, Raven," he murmured. "No one should have to see that aspect of humanity."

"I have always know of the evil that exists in the world," Raven said. "I was never allowed to forget it because of who my father was. But this...this I never imagined."

"I've witnessed great evil," Anakin said quietly. And participated in it, but he wasn't going to mention that. "And I'm sorry that you've had to as well."

"Does it become easier?" Raven asked.

Anakin nodded. "It becomes less sharp with time," he said. "I promise."

[trigons_child]

Raven let out a long sigh. "Good," she said. "That is very good to know."

"It also helps when you talk about it and don't let it fester," Anakin replied, "so you're making the right choices now."
