Who: Anakin Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Paisley
When: Right meow

There are a lot of questions and interests about other worlds lately. I have one question that I'm interested in right now. [ Alright, Ankain you can do this. Forget about that scolding Obi-Wan voice in your head telling you that the future is always changing. ] Does your universe-- do you believe in fate?

[ Oh, great. It sounds like a load of bantha dung when he actually hears it out loud. Awkwardly: ]

Destiny.

[ That doesn't help, which is fine. It's fine. It goes against the Jedi teachings and feels wrong just saying it. Nevermind that things are different with each universe, so it can't be really applicable, right?

Whatever, roll with it.

He adds, without pause, a completely unnecessary definition. ]

That certain things needs to happen in the future.

[ Squints.. ]

... Who told you this story?

No one. I just kinda overheard it sometimes~ [ Which would be why his retelling of it is not exactly elaborate or accurate. ]

That's weird.

You know that's weird, don't you.

[ Damnit Anakin... He hates being called weir even if he knows it's true )8 ]

Why is that weird??

[ Oh my, is something actually bothering Sascha. ]

You overheard "fated love stories for kids". Either you're creeping around kids or people with kids.

[ He doesn't like to be reminded that he doesn't fit in anywhere!! ]

Well how else was I supposed to hear the stories??

[ WELL TOO BAD ]

... By asking, Sascha.

They wouldn't have told me though... [ His eyes are generally a dead giveaway of what he is back home. No responsible mother would let a vampire near their child :c ]

What- Who wouldn't have?

Anyone I asked. [ Humans hate vamps and vampires see no point in human stories for children ): it's hard ]

Ask me. I'll tell you one.

Go on.

You will?? Really?? [ Oh man, just watch his face light up at that information. ]

Then--! Um! Tell me your favourite story, please!

Alright, I wouldn't say I have a favourite...

[ It takes him a moment but he remembers a few: the stories about the Kyrat dragons born of the suns, flying down to the sand-covered planet to nest; the core pilots and their mysterious adventures into wild space, uncharted areas of their galaxy; the legend of Master Nico Diath who freed the slaves all across the Outer Rim, single handedly, almost lawless. And the beautiful angels of Iego, who flew by and talked to troubled a troubled soul who had been lost on a deep space voyage for way too long. ]

[ That's a lot of stories. More than he thought he'd get, but Sascha enjoys each and every one of them. They're fantastic and amazing, things he has trouble picturing but appreciates all the same. By the time Anakin's finished he's lying on the floor of Bigby's room, eyes closed as he listens. ]

Who told you all of those...? They're awesome.

Here and there. Travellers always like to talk, even if it's just to boast or lie to kids.

You're so lucky... No one eeever wants to talk to me back home, even the other vampires.
