The flight back to Coursant was quick, maybe it was because she was in the company of the man she thought to never see again. Of course there were moments when the conversation between them became strain and quiet, because there was really only what she had been doing for the last ten years that they could talk about. Tahiri of course knew what he had been up to before he was transported to this time, as she had been part of it. But even Tahiri own side of the conversation was full of holes as she tried not to tell Anakin anything concerning that Jacen was a sith Lord and she was his appearance; not to mention that she had spent many nights in Jacen’s arms and bed. The two of them did well to not show any sign of their physical actives when they were not alone together, but there were only a few nights that Tahiri could think of where she went to bed alone. How was she going to tell Anakin any of that, she didn’t know and as the planet drew closer she still didn’t know. The space craft she used was small enough that it could land right on the landing pad that was part of the apartment complex that Jacen and her lived and worked from. “We’re here.” She announced and got up from the pilot seat to head out, as she stepped onto landing pad Tahiri had a very businesslike air around her and people were quick to jump to work and get her whatever she needed. It was clear that Jacen was very important and people paid attention to him as well as his assistant. Tahiri didn’t say anything the trip to the apartment, which was of course on the top floor. Once inside however she stopped and turned to Anakin smiling. “Wait here I will get him.” She turned quickly and left him in the large living room a she disappeared behind a door that lead to Jacen office. The apartment was very large and elegant, it clearly showed that who ever lived here had great power and influence. It was not dark and cold like the Star Destroyer had been and that was why Tahiri liked it. Reaching Jacen’s door she knocked and waited for him to bid her to enter. Anakin Solo @jacen |

He didn't even need to be told about his little brother's arrival. Lord Caedus already sensed Anakin's presence through the Force. He was aware to every little shift, while he had a way of shutting himself off from the Force. Thus, no one would sense which side of the Force he was leaning to. No one would even see if he was a Force user either. This was a decision he made when he first arrived to the timeslip, to hide away this status of his. But of course, Anakin would know. Yet he still kept himself shut out of the Force. He also had to stick to the birth name he was given to him. But that was alright. He didn't mind to hear that, especially from Anakin.
With the knock on the door, Jacen rose up from his comfortable leather chair and approached at the door. It hissed as it was opened up and Jacen was already standing there. His loyal apprentice, who was posing as an assistant for the rest of the universe, was right before him. Tahiri didn't need to inform him about who she brought. Making direct eye contact with the beautiful blond woman, Jacen only gave a nod.
Jacen Solo looked in perfect shape as usual. He was tall and handsome, dressed in sharp and clean cloths as usual. His black tunic was falling over his comfortable trousers. It was more of a home type of clothing for him. As much as he would like to don his black cloak, he had to give up on old habits and fashion choices to make up a certain name and reputation here. His brown hair was a bit long and straight, falling down his cheekbones. His brown eyes seemed rather excited. It would be a lie, if he claimed to be calm. But it wasn't just Tahiri who had missed Anakin. Jacen never spent a day without thinking of his fallen brother.
Now... he was here.
While Jacen had a permanent Force-bond with his twin sister and mother even before his birth, Anakin's place was always special in his heart. The Star Destroyer he commanded back in their original time was a good enough proof for that. As his relation with Jaina got damaged more and more over time, it wasn't the same with Anakin. Jacen wanted to make sure his little brother would be by his side. It was why this reunion was important.
"Lead me to him." Jacen allowed a slightly lopsided smirk, which reminded of his father and then followed Tahiri to the main living room. The whole apartment place was designed with minimalist and fashionable furniture. It was true Jacen lived here with Tahiri, but it was also used as an office. He also had a separate office in the senate building, yet he operated here equally.
When they finally made it to the large living room, where Anakin was waiting; a warm smile widened in Jacen's handsome face. There was the years of missing and mourning. Now his little brother was here, in the very same age he died.
While Jacen paused for a moment and held his breath, soon he was walking toward Anakin with long steps and pulling his little brother in a hug. "Oh, Anakin..." He couldn't find anything else to say for this moment. But his honest expression and actions told it all.

During the flight, Anakin tried to get as much as he could about what had happened in the ten years after his death and he was glad to know that they won the war with the Yuuzhan Vong and that his brother played a large role in ending the conflict. He was also surprised to learn that his own lightsaber played a large role in the war since it was used to Supreme Overlord Shimrra by his uncle. Still, he couldn't help but notice that there were a few holes in her story and whenever he tried to address them, the question was usually dodged and there was often moments of silence between the two. Especially when he questioned why he couldn't sense her Force sensitivity. As the ship began to land, Anakin looked at the apartment complex and had a sense of nostalgia as it reminded him of the high class apartment complex that his family owned. After landing, the two left the ship and headed into the apartment complex and as they walked, he couldn't help but notice the business like air around her and that people were attending to her every need. This gave the young Solo the impression that his brother was very important which was surprising considering how it hasn't been that long since people started appearing in this time line.
The two would enter a turbo lift that took them to the top floor and the two remained silent the entire way up. Once they reached the top floor, they entered the apartment and into the living room which was very large and elegant. Something that you would expect from a wealth and powerful man which raised even more questions in Anakin's mind as to how he got so powerful this quickly. Tahrir told him to wait and she headed to the door before knocking. The door would then slide open and Anakin tried to get a quick look to see what his brother looked like now that he was older, but didn't get much of a view with Tahiri being in the way and the considerable distance between the two. She would then lead his brother over to him and he smiled warmly in response to his brother's lopsided smirk which reminded him a lot of his father. And while black was a new look for him, he did have to admit that he looked good in it. As Jacen made his way to Anakin, Anakin made his way to him and the two embraced each other in a hug.
"It's good to see you again Jacen" said Anakin.

Jacen knew Anakin was there, and Tahiri shouldn’t have been surprised to know that Jacen already knew. Though her hope of seeing the shock looked on his face was gone, she was still smiling when the two made eye contacted; him silently asking if it was really him to which she only nodded. When he asked Tahiri to take him to Anakin, in her excitement she forgot herself and grabbed his hand. The two of them had never made such contact in the present of other people, and it took Tahiri just a moment to realize what she had done and quickly let go of his hand. “I’m sorry.” She muttered quickly for his ears only to hear, and though her smile dropped for only a moment it quickly returned as she turned and leaded him to where Anakin was waiting.
Tahiri stood to the side as the two brother saw each other, she couldn’t keep her eyes off the both of them as they moved to each other and embraced each other in a hug. Right now all Tahiri could feel was joy, at seeing her former love who she believe dead to her forever and her master finally reunited. The feelings of confusing would come back later, but right now she was just going to bask in the joy of this moment.

When Tahiri grabbed Jacen's hand as she dragged him to the living room, he allowed that. His Brown eyes moved down to fall on their united hands for a brief moment. It was true whatever affection they shared only remained behind closed doors. And this was a first time, considering his little brother was in the next room. While Jacen didn't complain about this, Tahiri realised what she was doing and let go of him as they walked through that door. Jacen didn't answer verbally, yet a meaningful and rather forgiving expression washed over his face; when he glanced at Tahiri.
Then he made his move toward Anakin in order to hug his little brother. The gesture was returned by the youngest Solo. From what it seemed Jacen was missed as well. It was a two way feeling, after all. But regardless to say, it wasn't the same. Jacen had to experience of losing Anakin before. For many years he kept that pain inside his chest, allowed it to make him stronger. And now that pain was turning into a relief, finally leaving him. A strange feeling it was. Jacen could feel a heavy burden being lifted off his shoulders.
"You never changed. Not even a bit." Pulling back from the embrace, the older brother placed a hand on top of Anakin's head, ruffling his hair a bit. Naturally, Anakin looked as the same age he died. But Jacen wouldn't be at the age as Anakin would remember him. So many years passed. While Jacen grew up to his early thirties, he was as handsome as before. Even if more of a charmer. A certain confidence became a part of his aura. While something certain had changed about Jacen, it wasn't obvious at the moment.
"This is an important day for us, Anakin. We unite once again." Jacen said with a bright smile and turned to look at Tahiri. He knew she was as excited as him. Perhaps, even more excited since Anakin had to be a point of obsession for Tahiri. This was a key fact of their master/apprentice relationship. Now Jacen wasn't sure how this would change the things in between them, as Anakin was back. But that was something he wanted to think later. First, they needed to celebrate.
"Are you hungry? We can catch up over a good meal." He offered with a warm smile and a hand on Anakin's shoulder. It was obvious Jacen didn't want to lose his little brother, now he found him.

As Anakin hugged his brother, he couldn't help but wonder if his parents and his sister ended up in this time period too and hoped to reunite with them just like with Jacen. His brother would then pull back from the embrace and told him that he didn't change which only confirmed his suspicion that he was going to die really soon. But he figured that he shouldn't talk about his death this early in this happy reunion of theirs and smiled as Jacen ruffled his hair with his hand. Aside from being obviously older compared to when he last saw him, Anakin noticed that his brother had an air of confidence around him which he didn't have before and he couldn't help but wonder how much he had changed since his death. "You on the other hand have. Do you still tell those bad jokes or did you outgrow that?" asked Anakin with a light smirk on his face. A part of him really missed hearing the bad jokes he'd hear from his brother during his time here all alone with no parents or siblings to talk to. He did think about meeting his uncle Luke after hearing that he was here, but decided not too after seeing that he was a lot younger compared to the Luke he knew and figured that he was from a time period before he or even his siblings were born.
His brother would then announce that this was an important day for them as they were finally reunited and a part of Anakin wondered if this major event happened just to bring the two back together again, but he knew that the chances of that were very slim at best. When he brother looked over to Tahrir, Anakin did the same and he could tell that she was happy that they were finally together again. But despite all of this happiness, Anakin's instincts were still telling him something was off and that his girlfriend and brother were probably hiding something from him. He just hoped that these instincts were wrong and that everything would fall back into place as if he never died in the first place.
"I could use a good meal, it's a shame that the rest of the family isn't here though.." said Anakin who really missed them.

Tahiri had been worried that Jacen would grow angry with her for the slip up, for showing any affection toward him while they were not alone, but his face was a forgiving face and she let out a breath of relief. He wasn’t really a cruel master, truth was he had never really treated her harshly like some Sith lords would have toward the appearance, if anything he had been really gentle and caring. There were times when his words where harsh to her, but never had he hit her or abused her; he pushed her that was all. There would be many that would have told him to kill her; she had failed him a few time after all; but instead he let her keep her life; which made her all the more loyal to him.
Tahiri still couldn’t believe it that Anakin was here, she had longed for this day for so long had wanted to hear his voice again and now he was here. It wasn’t just her however that was happy to see him alive again, Jacen was also clearly happy as well. Tahiri just stood there, it wasn’t until Jacen mention food that she sprang into action. “Why don’t you two make yourself comfortable here, I’ll have something brought in.” She gave one last look at both Jacen and Anakin before leaving.
It wasn’t hard to know what food she wanted to order it, it was a mix of both what Anakin and Jacen enjoyed to eat, as well as some of the best drinks the galaxy had to offer. Jacen had given her leave to use the credits he had trusting her to spend wisely and sometimes even encouraging her to buy something that he felt she would need. Today however she wouldn’t even think twice as she placed the order for food.
It took little time from the food being order to be delivered, during that time she had dressed the table with glasses, the best dishes with matching sliver wear, flowers and table cloths. It was very elegant and set for a celebration for the three, after all they were celebrating someone coming back to life. Once everything was perfect and the food set out she returned to the living room. “Lunch is ready.” She stated with a smile and turned to lead the way into the small dining area.

Perhaps, Jacen should have been worried instead. After all, Anakin was a topic which glued him and Tahiri together as master and apprentice. Now his little brother was back, that would give Tahiri no reason to stay with Jacen any longer. But Jacen didn't believe in that possibility. It was true Anakin gave them a good common point to stick together. But after all those years of working and training together, their relationship wasn't that simple. He didn't give it a chance that Tahiri would leave him behind at this point. Instead Jacen believed they would be able to form a bigger family now.
It made him happy.
"Not anymore." His laugh was light and cheerful, when he answered for Anakin's question. Jacen was no longer that awkward kid. He grew up into a very confident and strong man. He was nothing like before and he even wanted to leave his birth name behind like everything else. But it was not possible at the moment. And some old things in his life, he wanted to keep. Like his little brother. "But if you insist, I can tell you a few."
When Anakin told how hungry he was and Tahiri went to fix something for them, Jacen led his little brother to the comfortable couch in the living room. Of course, he had a way with avoiding the mention of family. The couch was made of pure white cotton with simple design, giving everywhere a fresh and clean look. Though, their wait wasn't exactly long. Tahiri arrived soon to lead them to the dining room. She was always impressive like that, finishing every task -small or big- in short time.
"Tell me what you have been doing since you arrived." Jacen asked, as they settled down on a shiny rectangle table. Of course, Jacen knew Anakin had been staying in the Jedi Temple in Dantooine. But that couldn't be just all.

"Only if you want to. I mean I really can't expect you to be the same person you were a decade ago[/div]"[/font] said Anakin after Jacen told him that he would only if he had insisted. Though truthfully, Anakin did want to hear his brother tell him one of his bad jokes just to be more at home and to give some indication that things haven't changed that much for both his brother and the girl he loved. But the boy knew that they have with his brother being more confident and wearing darker clothing and Tahiri wearing shoes instead of walking around barefoot and being heavily affected by his death. Tahrir would then tell the two Solos to make themselves at home and that she would have something brought in before his brother led him to a white couch. As he sat down, he couldn't help but notice that his brother didn't respond to his comment which was unusual since he thought that he brother would at least miss his twin sister Jaina.
After sitting down, the two waited for a short period of time before Jacen and Tahri led Anakin to the dinning room which contained a shiny rectangular table. The boy sat across from his brother and he asked the boy what he has been doing since he arrived. "Well I have been continuing my Jedi training at the Dantooine Enclave under Jedi Master Siri Tachi. She's a Jedi who came from the clone wars and is a good friend of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was also transferred here along with our grandfather..." said Anakin with a hint of uneasiness in his voice as he mentioned his grandfather. The young Solo was apprehensive about meeting his namesake since he was afraid to discover that he might have a lot in common with the man who would blow up his mother's home planet and do a lot of terrible things as Darth Vader.
"Tahrir told me that you're a senator now. How did you manage to pull that off? Don't you need to be voted in or something?" asked Anakin wanting to know how an unknown in this time period, like his brother managed to become a senator with a lot of power.

Tahiri had no idea what the two brother where talking about when she had left, but she hurried with her work so that she could join them once again. Once it was all perfect they joined her and Tahiri had to admit she was proud of herself as she got approving looks from both Jacen and Anakin. This was a wonderful occasion after all and she wanted to make sure that it was perfect. Tahiri sat on Jacen left side, across from Anakin as he sat on Jacen’s right. She smiled at her former love before taking her napkin and placing it in her lap.
The two brothers went on with their conversations as if they had not been interrupted by Tahiri calling them to come eat. She helped herself to some of the food that was placed before the three of them as she listen to Jacen ask Anakin what he had been doing since arriving in this time; and Anakin’s answer. But then it was Anakin’s turn to ask a question, and he wanted to know how Jacen had gain power in the Senate so quickly, after all he had just arrived as well and was not well known but yet people were willing to trust him and put him in a position of power. Tahiria took her glass of wine and took a small drink as she listen for Jacen answer.
