Rude.

She does feel like another spar, though.

He doesn't end the fight early, and instead keeps going until Anakin falls over. He corrects some of her form mid-fight as he goes. Provides tips on focusing herself.

She successfully falls on her butt, at least, and not her nose.

The corrections help.

The fight helps, too.

"...Something did happen," she says, after a few moments of staring at the ceiling and getting her breath back. "It's a good thing. But - I guess 'teenage drama' isn't wrong, and it's a thing I'm scared will cause bad things to happen if I tell people. Can I have - forty eight hours, to think stuff over?" Not the full week Elesse gave her, but - anything much longer, and she knows Lily will definitely start poking on her own. Her teacher can restrain herself for two days, though. Hopefully.

Her teacher and grandmaster trade Looks.

Lily sits next to Anakin, squeezing her shoulder. "Of course," she says. "We're on your side, and - I can't promise that zero things you don't want will happen if you tell us, depending on what the information is, but I can promise to hear you out in full before taking any actions, alright?"

Mace sits on Anakin's other side. "I can promise the same. Though perhaps we can have a lineage meeting somewhere other than a training salle floor one of these days, padawans?"

Anakin giggles. "But it's atmospheric!"

"Be that as it may..."

She shrugs, closing her eyes a bit.

The two Jedi Masters take the hint, turning instead to talk to each other about Serious Temple Matters that are definitely not just gossip, until Anakin's recovered enough to want to move.

Might be a bit.

But she does get up eventually. She does have things to do...

Like homework?

She finished that yesterday.

He ruffles her hair.

But - he has things to do, too, so he'll leave them be.

And they can go about their day. Lily had mostly planned today as a rest and recuperation period, since Anakin's been busy with academic work...

She's fine keeping it that way.

And - not exactly the next time, but at some point when she's alone -

Darth Sangua needs to figure out how she's going to have a conversation with her Mistress about what, exactly, she can afford to give to her teacher and grandmaster as a distracting bone. If they don't have a scheduled date tomorrow - she could send a message, or she knows Elesse's schedule by now, she could possibly just show up at the apartments, sneak out of the Temple...

Perhaps conveniently, a message arrives for Anakin. An aide for the Verpine Senator would like to meet with her briefly to confirm a few details about one of the missions she had been on in their space recently. The proposed time for the meeting would have it ending just about as Elesse's usual lunch hour begins.

She accepts, readily. (She's hoping this is more her Mistress being very on top of things than convenience - it's a comforting thought, that Elesse might be watching over her enough to tell if Sangua trips. Sangua usually doesn't like being smothered, but... Maybe loving Elesse makes it different, or maybe this situation is just so tense that it's - relaxing, to have someone else worrying.)

The meeting with the aide goes smoothly. Anakin sets the details straight, has a pleasant chat, leaves feeling like the aide has a good impression of her, and - she's also very conveniently passing by Elesse's office on her path out, isn't she?

In fact, she is.

"Ah, Anakin. This is a pleasant surprise."

Just being around her Mistress makes her feel better already. 

"Chancellor Elesse - it is," she says, smiling. "My schedule today seems to be lining up a bit better than it usually does."

"I assume you wish to talk about something?"

"If now's a good time..." 

"Of course, my dear. The privacy field is on."

Small, brief smile. 

Then: "...I messed up, Mistress. My teacher noticed something had changed with me basically immediately. I deflected some and now have until tomorrow to get something plausible to tell her and Mace Windu."

"I don't think they suspect anything like the truth, but... If Lily isn't satisfied, she'll start poking around."

"Good that you are willing to address this before the problem spreads. What is the shape of their present suspicion?"
