bittykin: (uh no)

He wasn't asking for a schedule! Just how long they were going to be here. Given they had to dock the ship, that was just...the basic thing.

However, the relative isolation of the planet both worked in their favor and also made the pair stand out. While Zabraks and humans could interbred, Anakin looked nothing at all like what one would expect a hybrid child to look like, especially against Garth'zel and there was the matter of the very clear difference in their conditioning. Sure, Anakin was being fed much better than he ever had been, and getting proper physical training, but he was still underfed looking, hair cut cheaply and very very sun-bleached. And his clothing wasn't just suited for the desert but old, worn, patched, and stained - mostly because they's had to leave quickly and that hadn't left time to get him the higher quality clothing. Compared to his guardian...well.

One could almost suspect him of being a stowaway or a pickpocket. He felt the looks and glances and chewed on his lip for a moment before sliding sideways and reaching up to take Garth'zel's free hand. Making it clear they were together and that the Zabrak was his guardian - and Anakin wasn't just baggage.

He hoped. He'd apologize later.
