[Is this meant to be private? Should it be private? Yes and yes. But Anakin has little patience for diplomacy - or morality for that matter - so deal with this being awkward as hell.]

Leia? [His brow furrows and he gives a small sigh from within his dark hood.] Princess? I'm not sure which one you prefer.

Will you come out and see me? I'm fine standing here all night if that's what it takes.

[He is outside her place of residence and he's not above making a general nuisance of himself. Don't test him. He will do horrible things to get her attention.]

Thank you.

["Your personality is what matters," admittedly, his personality isn't great either, but still, being told that is nice.]

I have nearly no information on "how to deal with family relationships" or anything under that category, so I won't be much help here. I can only suggest an emphasis that you are a "royal screw up" when speaking to her. People tend to like other people more when they admit their faults to a certain degree. It makes them "more human."

[prophesiedone]

No problem. [So what? At least he's honest. Anakin admires bluntness over someone trying to spare his feelings.]

I wouldn't expect you to be of any help. [He chuckles suddenly.] You've got a good point there. No one likes someone acting better than them or wiser than them. If she's anything like me, she would hate that.

[reexamined]

You seem to be under the impression she's very much like you, so it may be worth a shot. I suppose your worst case scenario is that she hates you more than she already does.

[prophesiedone]

Like me, but...better. She has her mother's qualities too.

I just want her to know the truth.

[reexamined]

[i'm sorry]

Well, you certainly will be informing her of the truth about parents- which is that while you're respecting her privacy by standing outside her house and yelling at the window, you'll still be asserting your authority as her father by going in anyway.

[prophesiedone]

[LOL accurate 100%!]

I think me going in anyway is an act of desperation on my part. Plus she needs to know I can protect her. A silly door isn't going to hold me back.

[Anakin logic.]

[reexamined]

I recommend with one hundred percent certainty that no one will be impressed if you destroy her door.

[prophesiedone]

That depends on how I destroy it, doesn't it?

[reexamined]

You can move things with your mind and have a lightsaber. If you use either of those, I'm taking away points.

[prophesiedone]

You're giving me challenges! [This is fun. More fun than it should be.]

[reexamined]

No- wait, I'm not challenging you to destroy her door!

[prophesiedone]

That's what it sounded like to me!

[reexamined]

It did sound like that, didn't it?

[reexamined]

...I've already made a bad impression on her anyway. Alright, challenge made.

[prophesiedone]

I really like the way you think.

Let's call it Plan B.

[reexamined]

Yes, you would, wouldn't you.

Does the "B" stand for "Bad Idea" because I feel like it should.

[prophesiedone]

Was that an insult?

Me being here is probably a bad idea.

[reexamined]

If it's an insult to you, then it's an insult to me as well. And I don't insult myself. No, I'm implying more that we both- as Cassian enjoys putting it- tend to say whatever comes to our circuits. Impulsiveness is another word for it.

It's mostly a bad idea.

[prophesiedone]

I've always been impulsive, that's true. I drove my first Master crazy. [But that's...life. Or his life anyway. When it sparks its brightest, he's bordering on totally, insanely rash.]

Better a bad idea than no idea. Some of my bad ideas have panned out really well.

[reexamined]

I can only imagine.

You sound smug about that.

[prophesiedone]

A victory is a victory.
