Secluded bit of beach (yes, there's still some left, shhh) [afternoon]

Rory had met Padmé and had liked her. His namesake, deceased, grandson was somewhere on the island.

Anakin needed peace, and he found himself on a familiar spot of beach--the place he'd come when he was a teenager and had found the crashing waves soothing.

He closed his eyes, reached out into the Force, and tried to find calm.

[OOC: Also open, though expecting one.]

A tiny trace of inquisitive humor broke through Anakin's preoccupied expression.

"And Dad?"

"Sheer Solo stubbornness," Anakin replied, grinning. "There's absolutely no scientific explanation for it."

"It's quite a combination," Anakin agreed with a chuckle. "Try growing up with it."

"Hardly," Anakin replied. "Threepio, on the other hand, had some really frazzled circuitry."

"Repaired half a trillion times by now, to estimate conservatively, but I don't think Mom and Dad are any more willing to do that than Uncle Luke would ever be to memory wipe Artoo," Anakin assured him.

"Do you? I thought you'd have heard a lot about him at least. He's part of the family as much as we are." Anakin paused. "Were, in our case."

"Force, he really is part of the family," Anakin blurted out. "I hadn't realized that."

"Stupid canon. Then they'd better take extra good care of him," Anakin began, but he frowned. "You were a slave?"

Why it hadn't occurred to him to look more into the history of the man who became Darth Vader, rather than dwell on the legacy of Vader, he wasn't sure.
