I will keep this short.

Don't do that again.

[And now, thanks to his temper and total lack of Jedi training...]

I'm not going to apologize for the temples.

[He still feels like trashing them, though he knows, deep down, that isn't right. The materials could be of use. Later. Except now they are in pieces. Oops? Totally qualified ~~Jedi~~Sith here.]

What exactly happened?

They took away my power, so I left my mark on their temples. It wasn't hard to do with my lightsaber and some help.

[ Well Rey HAD been laying down, enjoying the return of her vision, but that made her sit up, reading the word 'lightsaber' three, four times before she shakes her head in surprise. ]

Lightsaber? Are you a Jedi?

[ Was messing up temples a Jedi thing? It seems possible, she supposes, if the gods of those temples were as cruel as the ones here. ]

[No, Rey, destroying temples is a crazy thing. At least in his case. Anakin is walking on a thin line between sanity and insanity these days and, sometimes, he tips over a little too far.]

I was.

[They hardly accept him in their ranks anymore. Not that he wants to be there.]

You know of them?

[ This is exciting! He was a Jedi! Was. Like Luke then? Had they known eachother?

She frowns a little in memory of the way she had left her would-be mentor, having stolen his books and attacked him in the rain... She would have to apologize the next time she saw him. Regardless of how angry she was with him, Luke hadn't deserved it. She should have simply talked it out. ]

Were I'm from, everyone knows of the Jedi. They're the favorite bedtime story of every child in the galaxy I think. I've only met one other though.

[Oh honey. The Skywalkers understand rash actions and rage. Luke knows her heart is in the right place. She doesn't need to apologize. If nothing else, it was a wake-up call for the dear hermit.]

Are you from the same time period as Kylo? I don't think they stopped being prevalent until after...

[What he did.]

What's your name?

You've spoken to Ben?

[ She shouldn't be surprised. Despite his reserved demeanor, he was much better at this whole communicating with others bit than she was in the end. The question gives her pause though. There were people here from all sorts of worlds, but to imagine someone from her own being from a different time...is stranger for her to wrap her mind around for some reason. ]

Yes. I am from the same time period. It's 34 ABY.[ and then, immediately afterwards: ] It's Rey. And you are?

We are family.

[Anakin goes by the name Kylo seems to prefer, realizing that he has little effect on what his grandson becomes or thinks. Or maybe that's how he thinks it should be? He hasn't been good grandfather material.]

Nice to meet you, Rey. I'm Anakin Skywalker.

[ Anakin Skywalker. There's a moment's pause, as she tries to process this. Immediately she fears for Ben, for his balance, having spoken to this man. She has understood his fear of living up to the great shadow of his grandfather, one that was laced with death and the dark side. She had felt it intensely in the interrogation room, when she was digging her nails into his head for any kind of purchase. ]

[ But no, in the end Anakin had turned, had turned to the light. He had been good once, before the mask and the empire. Rey licks her lips, nodding to herself as she decides her path here. Luke had seen good in him, there was good in him. If she embraced that, maybe he would help her keep Kylo Ren from being lost. ]

And you. Anakin. Hopefully I will run into you off network at some point.

[Fear, pain, bitterness and jealousy gave birth to Darth Vader. He has seen what he becomes in his dreams and it is enough to make him wish he were just insane. But he's not. He never has been. So the sins of his past weigh heavily upon him, making him unworthy of righting anything yet...

How can he not try? If his children - his twins - live, isn't that reason enough to fight for as long and as hard as he can? He almost wishes Sidious would turn up here. He would give that Sith Lord all he deserves and more.

As many times as it takes to stick.]

I'm always happy to meet someone from our galaxy. I'll even put the lightsaber away if that makes you more comfortable.

Well you're welcome to bring yours as long as you're alright with me bringing mine. Perhaps you could teach me some moves one day.

Sounds fair to me. Have you had any lessons? There are so many techniques and schools of thought. I've made some improvements that I can show you.
