Vader is a terrible, terrible man. AGAIN. [OPEN]

Kenobi!

Vader's eyes snapped open as he jerked to consciousness, his last memory of Kenobi's smirk burnt into his memory. The treacherous Jedi had thwarted him again. Why he was not dead was beyond him, but the second time Kenobi had left him for dead without having the stomach to actually finish the deed would be the last.

His mouth curled disdainfully as he surveyed his surroundings. It may have been foreign, but he recognized a medcenter when he saw one-- and liked it as little as he liked any other. The ventilator tubes had been reinserted into his nose, and he began to examine the large machine he was bound to. He could, in theory, take it apart and convert it into something more manageable. He had no idea if his kidnappers ever intended to return his suit and lightsaber. If he wanted his revenge on Kenobi and reclaim his son (his son-- no, he had to put that out of his mind), he would have to act quickly, before the...ship...realized his intentions.

"Have you been away from your own planet very much?" True, she was guessing she knew quite a bit about him but she might be mistaken. And besides, it was always best to hear it from someone themselves. "What's it like?" She couldn't hide the eagerness behind the last question.

"I would not say Tatooine was my planet," Vader replied, bitterly. "It is consumed by deserts. I have not been there in...years."

Not since his mother died.

"My duties require that I am in space or abroad most of the time. I would say I have been to...including Imperial Center and the inner rim, perhaps two hundred planets?"

"Two hundred- that is amazing! What was your favorite?" Skipping over the sad there.

"What does it matter? They are all equally..."

No, that wasn't quite true.

"...Naboo. I enjoyed the Lake Country the best."

Sofia smiled coyly. She knew he had to have a favorite. "What did it look like?"

Vader sighed heavily.

"Green. Many fields of tall grasses. Waterfalls, rivers, and lakes...though I am not sure why you care."

[ayasofia.livejournal.com]

"Because you seem very lonely." Sofia answered honestly.

Vader's expression turned sour.

"Your pity is misplaced and unwanted. I will reclaim my son and then I will need no one else."

"Then you don't have to be upset because it is not pity. I know how hard it is to be... separated from your family. To have something between you that stops you from being close. If I pitied you then I would have to pity myself, and I don't." She pushed herself up to sit back onto the bed.

"It is well that you don't," Vader muttered.

"I understand that once the Ohm are defeated, our worlds will be restored and the people within them will return."

There was a chance, a hope. "Yes, that is what the Daligig said." She doubted that if she told him it wasn't certain he would be optimistic about it.
