Anakin digs his heels into the seat as Garth'zel talks, not liking the answer. He didn't want his mother on Tatooine, it was dangerous, and she wasn't safe there. He knows that. He just doesn't know how to say it, how to explain it.

But he sighs at the question. "Probably. Watto said I was the one worth anything, so he probably won't make sure she has enough water or food, he likes to game and drink. When he loses he drinks a lot, and he gets really mean. Short tempered. Anything which costs him money or makes him lose it..." Anakin had taken more than a few beatings from Watto over the years. "Mom doesn't really...like ask for things. She gets let down, so it's easier not to hope, I think."
