They’d just come from speaking with the Chancellor, and Anakin’s instruction was to go prepare for the next mission that they were departing for in under a few hours. He’d not even been granted time to go see Padmé – he was here on Coruscant and couldn’t even see the one person who could give him a modicum of comfort.
Obi-Wan had been declared dead during a battle on Jabiim. But Anakin couldn’t shake the feeling that they were wrong. And it wasn’t as Master Mundi said, Anakin didn’t feel this way because he was too attached to Obi-Wan. His sorrow wasn’t clouding his judgment – this was a truth deeper than that.
He just knew Obi-Wan was still alive.
But Master Mundi wouldn’t hear of it. And neither would the other Council members.
Anakin could only follow his new Master's instructions.
As he was walking towards his quarters to change for the mission, he saw Master Tachi standing before one of the tall corridor windows. He paused. He knew Master Mundi would not appreciate a delay of any kind, but Anakin also knew there had been something more than friendship between his former Master and Siri, even if it was never acted upon (that he knew of). The news of Obi-Wan’s death, though Master Tachi was the image of Jedi decorum in all outward appearances, must have hit her hard. Anakin was moved to extend a word of comfort to her; even if she might respond with the usual Jedi platitudes, he felt he needed to at least try.
“Master Tachi?” he said quietly, to get her attention.
