Meeting with Padme [locked to [livejournal.com profile] __padme__]

[Follows this]

The message had been both a little unexpectd and yet also Anakin felt like he'd been waiting ages for it to come. A quick exchange back and forth of notes between himself and Padme led to their setting up a place and time to meet.

Of course, technically Anakin was still supposed to stick to the Temple when not with Obi-Wan. But then, hadn't Obi-Wan given him his implicit permission to go out by getting Dexter to procure that speederbike for him? Besides, after the long session sparring with Master Windu the day before, they were having pity on him and not expecting him to be anywhere today. Anakin had the sneaking suspicion most of the other students figured he'd spend the whole day lying in bed or soaking away bruises.

All the better to give him a reason not to have been seen all day, he supposes.

Not needing to convince himself anymore, Anakin sneaks out of the Temple again for what must be the second time in a week and makes his way to where he stores his swoop. Within a few more minutes, Anakin is flying, literally, toward the Jrade Plaza. He makes what must be record time in getting there and stows the swoop before going to settle on a bench near the spot he told Padme he would be waiting.

Anakin had chosen this plaza simply because it wasn't too near the Temple, and yet was convenient to both the Naboo Senatorial Residence and the Senate itself. Not to mention all of the shops and restaurants and things that were nearby. Or the fact that it stayed very busy so two people meeting there wouldn't be likely to be noticed. He's not sure why all the secrecy, but she started it with encrypting the messages so high!

Not that he minds keeping it a secret either. And so, he waits, about as patiently as Anakin ever waits for anything.

He considers a moment. "Impatient to see me, I suppose."

"Mm. Yes. I suppose you're right."

"Well them I am glad I didn't keep you waiting too long." Smile. "And I probably shouldn't keep you any longer."

"No." She hugs him, briefly. "Goodnight, Anakin."

He hugs her in return, arms lingering a half second longer than needed, "Goodnight, Padme."

She smiles slightly before heading inside.

A yell can be heard. It goes something like, "WHERE WERE YOU?"

And then just laughter.

Even Anakin has to grin at that, before hopping on the speeder bike and flying away, back to the Temple.

He might be in for it too...
