[ the feed turns on to show you a small child in white robes, looking like he got out of bed with tousled hair and sharp blue eyes. he seems to be looking around warily, his jaw tight. ]

So this is a kidnapping right? By one of those slavers?

[ he lets out a quiet breath like he was taught. gehren. he hoped she was safe. ]

Fine, whatever. Where is the closest space port?

[hopesparks]

[ Well. That answers that. ]

So you're a Jedi padawan, right?

[jedies]

Yeah. I'm close to my Gathering.

[hopesparks]

[ He must have heard that somewhere before, but Anakin is drawing a blank. ]

Gathering?

[jedies]

It's when we go to Ilum to pick out our crystals.

[hopesparks]

The kyber for your lightsaber.

[jedies]

Yeah. It's my clan and . . . [ he falls silent. ] Just my clan.

[hopesparks]

[ Anakin nods. ]

If it helps, there are other Jedi here. [ Anakin holds up his lightsaber with a slight smile. ] Including me. We look after each other and the Trench as a whole.

[jedies]

[ that sounds normal but . . . gehren. ]

I just want to go back.

[hopesparks]

[ Anakin's expression softens with sympathy. ]

I would help you go back if I could.

[jedies]

Even if I did, it wouldn't be the same without her.

[hopesparks]

Her?

[jedies]

Gehren. She . . . left.

[hopesparks]

Left the Temple?

[jedies]

Yes. She went . . . to her home.
