A Path Less Taken

Ahsoka woke up some time around midday, her shoulders popping as she started to stretch. She rubbed the tiredness out of her face as she started to get ready. During which, each event of last night came back to her. Including the dream she had. Force, just the thought of it was making her feel embarrassed and if she was being honest with herself, a little hot under the collar.

"He's likely going to ask what was it about me walking out like that," Ahsoka thought. She knew that the way she just rushed out was a bit uncharacteristic, but there was a chance that he would let it go. She'd put more money on the first one.

Walking out of her room, she was enticed by the smell of food. She flashed a smile at Beru, who was the one behind the stove.

"Have I ever told you that you are the best?" Ahsoka said with a grin that was almost wide enough to be cheeky. Beru rolled her eyes.

"Funny. Owen tells me the same thing if I cook," she said, making the man in question let out a laugh that sounded slightly muffled cause of the food in his mouth.

"Hey, I'd love you even if you couldn't cook. It's just a bonus that you can," Owen said once he swallowed, making Ahsoka snort as she went to graciously accept a plate of food from Beru.

"Yup. Him and Anakin are definitely related from that statement alone. Where is he, anyway?" she asked.

"Rex said he went out to Coruscant the other night to talk to his wife. He hasn't been back yet," Beru said.

"Oh. That makes sense. They have talked to each other in a fair bit. But I have to say he's going to be missing out on some good food," Ahsoka said as she took a bite of food. Then she closed her eyes out slight relief. "Ok, I was hoping I wouldn't have to retract the last part of that statement." Rex and Owen laughed while Beru lightly whacked Ahsoka on the side of the head with a spoon.

"I can cook," she said, giving the Togruta a stern stare.

"Between you and me, it's a wonder I haven't been poisoned yet," Owen said in a loud whisper. This time he was the one to get the spoon upside his head. Only nowhere near as lightly. Rex and Ahsoka bit back their snickers as Owen indignantly exclaimed to his wife that this qualified as abuse.

While she said nothing aloud about Anakin's decision to go Coruscant to talk to his wife, Ahsoka couldn't help but be slightly worried for him. She figured she was the only one he told about his issues with his wife. At least for the most part. So it was more than likely that she was the only one who knew besides himself that he was planning on breaking it off. It had to be hard for him to take in, even though there was a fair amount of logic in his reasoning.

But then again, Anakin was always the type to go against what made sense in favor for helping the people he cared about. So there was a chance that he would try and go against the original logic of his decision and still try and make it work. It was what he should be trying to do.

"You alright? You look distracted," Rex asked the Togruta next to him.

"I'm fine. Just lost in thought," Ahsoka said.

"He should be back some time today," Rex said, taking another bite of food. The clone noticed the Togruta turn her head slightly towards him at this statement before silently going back to her food. That alone told him that his statement assumed correctly. This whole situation made him feel the need to make his own inquiries about this whole situation. So far, he wasn't disappointed.

"Anyway, we're going to take a walk around town, see what's around," Beru said, taking off the apron she was wearing and washing her hands.

"Alright. Keep your eyes open. This place may be Republic operated, but still. You never know," Ahsoka told them.
