Debates
Vanya looks at Anakin through the bronze mirror as she combs his hair. He normally has a serene expression but this morning he seems deeply unsettled. Yisu too is oddly quiet. Before Vanya can ask, Lady Leya enters with Aina.
"My lady," Vanya and Yisu greet. Lady Leya nods, moving to Anakin's side.
You returned late yesterday and now leave early again. Are court matters so pressing?" she asks worriedly. He's been at the palace daily since the inauguration for military affairs and court assembly.
Anakin simply nods, too preoccupied to explain he's not going today. As Vanya finishes combing and puts a ring crown in to hold his knot, Lady Leya stops her.
"Use this instead, the other is too plain," she says, picking out a bejewelled ring crown from the set on the table.
Vanya is about to drop the plain black one in her hand when Anakin stops her, "Use the plain one."
