Library [06/03]

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

A couple of days ago, there was nothing in the world that could have gotten Wesley into the library, not even his assigned shift. But then he'd spoken to Karla, and she'd been so helpful, and suddenly this was something that he was able to do. So he sat at the desk, and occasionally looked tentatively over toward the books, considering shelving them. He never did, but he kept looking over anyway.

Anakin's council too, and look how well that had turned out. Ahem.

"You're quite welcome," he said. "When I was only a little older than you are, I lost my wife." In a manner of speaking. "There are days when getting out of bed will be your major accomplishment, and that's all right."

"I'm so sorry," Wesley said softly, sincerely. He knew how badly he was feeling right now, and to imagine what it had to be like to lose a wife... it must be agony. His heart went out to Anakin.

"It was a long time ago," Anakin said, "but thank you. The strangest things will remind me of her."

Wesley nodded, with only the vaguest understanding of what that must feel like. Right now, Katniss was all he was thinking about, and he couldn't even imagine a point in the future when she might not be at the front of his mind at all times.
"It must be awful for you," he said softly. "Dealing with loss all over again."

"Each loss is its own kind of pain," Anakin replied quietly. "I don't mix them."
