Momentarily, Ferus wondered if he'd ever done anything to justify Tru thinking that he could be anything other than 'grave'– then, he made a face at how dumb that sounded even in the privacy of his own mind. Too much like a brooding child, instead of like the Jedi he aspired to be. He went a little cross-eyed looking down at the cup of pretzel sticks that Tru held way too close to his face —on purpose, no doubt—, but finally relented and grabbed a couple. Meditating always left him hungry, and he'd been at it for what felt like an eternity. Then again, any amount of time spent standing idle and waiting for transport always felt like an eternity.

And Master Tachi always tells him he has to try to be a bit more approachable, even with people like Tru, who sticks around even if Ferus isn't being particularly approachable...

"I'm not trying to be 'grave'," he said, eating the pretzel sticks before grabbing some more. "I'm just... thinking."

Mostly thinking about how inefficient the ferry system was, and how they could have made it way faster to their destination if they had a ship or a speeder of their own. But that still counted as a good enough excuse to justify his furrowed brow and quiet demeanor.

"Divot?" he asked, curious. "I don't think I have." Then, Ferus arched a brow and actually gave a slight smile. "Explain the game, then we'll see who has to keep quiet about winning."

@crystalshined continued from here!!

a smile touched his lips when he sensed tru and it stays there as he responds. a thoughtful gesture, one darra would no doubt appreciate when she does wake up. it's the kind of thing a jedi should do... much different from anakin's own plan. a selfish one that wouldn't have helped anyone - would have just gotten himself into trouble... he wasn't even meant to be in here, borrowing a speeder for no excusable reason probably would have been more than trouble. it had seemed like a good idea when he was restless in his room, guilty after his own mistakes hurt a fellow padawan...

he'd needed a distraction and now tru was here. the force works in mysterious ways, whether they're getting into trouble or not. trouble is more fun with a friend anyway.

" that's a good idea. " he agrees, blue eyes more focused on what tru's doing with the controls. his face lights at the familiar sound of a vehicle unlocking, his fingers twitch. it's only when the door is pushed open, the look, that anakin realises he's invited. yay!!

" not at all. " admits it freely, taking the seat that was offered. the corners of his lips curl, playful. " i could sense that you were up to no good. naturally, i had to come to supervise the no good. "
