Val's in the bar, sitting at at table, her feet up on the table, and reading a book. She seems quasi-bored, quasi-distracted.

Anakin snerks, just a little. "Be careful what you say. I happen to know Desire. Besides, who said you *wanted* to change? It might just happen."

Val snerks as well. "Most of the people who come here don't have change in mind, but it happens nonetheless, in spite of themselves." A pause and a snerk. "You might like Desire. He wears Jedi robes."

"Ah, and that's another change, isn't it? A bar where there are still Jedi...most interesting." Idle shrug, rising. "Perhaps I will. But for now, I have a job to do."

Anakin, who had been looking at Val oddly (and delibrately not thinking about some of the repercussions from Val's statement about Desire), moves out of the way. He can't resist a parting shot, though. "May your Binding be as long and interesting as mine."

Without looking back, "May you never forget that I am as much a product of you as the Emperor."

And Mara, with a smirk to Val, stroll out of the bar.

Val puts her feet back up on the table, pulling out her book, suddenly glad Luke's not in the bar on that particular night. She falls silent, just watching Mara intently over the top of the book.
