It's for the best his twin didn't tell him to calm down - for all his temper, for the krayt dragon that wrapped itself around his heart and snarled heat and flame, Anakin didn't actually get angry for no reason, even if he didn't always understand why. And telling him to calm down, telling him to act more Jedi-like only reinforced the idea that no one really was interested in what he thought and felt.

"But they didn't trust him. Not really. Why did they let him take me out of the Temple if they didn't trust him." Anakin had started collecting the bolts that held the panel in place, sticking them to a magnetic strip on his mecharm, but he stopped and looked at his twin, "How did you get a lightsaber?"

Anakin tapped the spanner against another panel, stood it up, let go, and motioned it back and forth, and then turned it in a circle, so that it spun like a top. Looking back away from his twin, when he spoke, his voice sounded much younger than he was. "Was I just bait to them?"
