Who: sansa stark and you!!
Broadcast: video -- fleetwide
Action: blue fish and iskaulit
When: today
Fellow travelers, [ how else is she meant to greet them?
today, the network flickers to life and its image frames sansa's face with an almost rehearsed precision. by now, the last licks of dye have left her hair. she is fully auburn once again -- and the rich copper strands, a colour inherited from her mother, are carefully braided and arranged in a style that would have taken time even with a helping hand. how long did it take her alone, one wonders? and she's wearing silk, to boot. ]
Begging your pardons -- but has anyone ever found lemons at any of our stops? Any of the way-stations? [ all this polish for such a childish, innocent question. ] At first, I was grateful enough for the false lemon flavours the Atroma give us -- but just once, I'd like to taste the real thing again.
[ she seems about to end the feed, but: ] Or if anyone has any lemons in their pantry, I would pay for a few. I have some credits put by -- [ sheepish, because it isn't her place to be discussing coin. ] Or mayhaps I could barter with some embroidery. My stitches are very neat. I promise.
[ otherwise, member of the blue fish could find her in her quarters while working quietly. at a later hour, she finally does something bold and takes a shuttle (all alone!) to the iskaulit, where she searches out the gardens. she wants to see green again. she wants to dream of summer. sansa crouches to touch a leaf -- heedless of the way her silk trails on the garden's ground floor. ]

My lady, you need not say anything that might get you in trouble. [ cautious, as though she's worried ahsoka might be punished for speaking treason. ]
no subject
It's okay. I told you when we first met, right? I'm not a Jedi anymore.
I left the Order shortly before I came here. And all the members of the Order here are well acquainted with my reasons for doing so. I'm not saying anything they haven't heard me say before.
no subject
no subject
... For leaving, or for saying that the Code is wrong?
no subject
no subject
As for Anakin... I think he agrees with me that parts of the Code are wrong, but... I'm not sure if he'll ever be able to forgive me for leaving him.
[Because that's how Anakin sees it, ultimately-- not as Ahsoka leaving the Order, but leaving him.]
no subject
Could it be, my lady, that he sees your choice as one made in opposition to his own -- when he chose to open the list? And spare your life?
[ anakin made his peace with hypocrisy to keep a friend. ahsoka, it seems, cannot be a hypocrite herself. yes, she could see why anakin might be deeply disappointed. ]
no subject
... Yes. That's it exactly. As Jedi, we're taught the importance of doing the "right" thing, even if that goes against our own personal wishes. It's just that in this case... Anakin believed that the right course of action was for me to stay with the Order, despite my desire to leave. And-- I believed that the right course was for me to leave... despite my desire to stay.
[Because ultimately, the Order was her life. She would've given anything to have been able to be okay with staying. To this day, she still isn't sure Anakin understands just how desperately she sometimes wishes she could turn back the clock and undo knowing everything she now knows.]

It's only since coming here that I've realised it was because "being a Jedi" probably wasn't the purpose the Force intended for me to begin with.
no subject
[ it sounds what that other man -- ahsoka named him obi-wan -- might have said. ]
no subject
Yeah-- you got it.
[Quicker than Anakin OR Obi-Wan, honestly.]
