You stood strong and watched as the two blaster bolts hurtled towards you, you braced your form and stood ready to dodge the attack. Anakin's driven shoulder barged into your side and hurtled you into the thorny bush that climbed from the ground up to your hip.

"What are you doing!?" You called from the brush as Anakin deflected the blaster bolts back towards the pair of attackers.

"Saving you!" He smirked as the bolts sparked against his lightsaber and scorched the custom built armour that opposed him. "Just a few bounty hunters, nothing too serious." He stood proudly with a cocky grin plastered across his smug face as he brought his blue blade down, severing one of the greedy hunters' arms from its shoulder and force pushing him into the other one. "Do not worry, I won't let you come to any harm."

From the scratched plate of the bounty hunters wrist mounted launcher, a rocket flew, careered towards the two of you and caught Anakin by surprise. He dived onto the ground, where he stood previously the projectile hovered in the air. Its thrusters fought valiantly against you, but your control of the force was too great for it.

"You... you're a jedi?" Anakin asked wide eyed and hopeful as with a push of your hand you plummeted the rocket in between the bounty hunters, knocking them to the ground. Anakin scrambled to his feet, firmly grasped the handle of his saber and violently thrusted it into each of their chests. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that, you can look after yourself... I shouldn't have... I'm sorry."

"I don't practise too much, don't really want to be a part of that lifestyle. I'd rather just call myself a user of the force." You explained whilst picking prickly brambles from what felt like all of your exposed skin.

"You could be a jedi?" He knelt down and rolled the horned helmets from the wannabe captors as if the swirling stench of burnt flesh was not a give away of their status. "What's stopping you?" He looked up from his crouched position as his hands rifled through the plentiful cache of pockets on the uniform.

"I prefer staying here with Padmé, the life is so much simpler."

"You're missing out on a lot of power doing that. Think how strong you could grow if you properly trainer under a Jedi Master. What you just did there was impressive, who knows what kind of damage you could do." He smiled at the thought.
