[There's a lean, pale figure waiting beside an equally pale column; Anakin privately thinks it looks a little bit like a bolt of lightning leaning against sandstone. But he's here, and the stranger with a bad opinion of pallies is here, and Anakin has never been one to turn back even when the odds have been wildly against him. Compared to flying half of a ship or solo-recon in a base full of droids programed to kill him, he figures this is pretty low stakes. Besides, he isn't suspicious by nature, and thus far his ultimate goal has been to get out of here as quickly as possible. If so many others are trying to cross that same finish line he doesn't see any reason not to work together. They're all on the same side.
He stops just far enough away to be polite, and though he doesn't fold his arms over his chest or tuck them into his pockets, there's no tension to be found in the line of his shoulders or crease between his brows. For better and worse, everything that's said about Anakin's blunt, straight-forward tendencies encompasses not just the words that come out of his mouth, but the way he moves through the world. Though one could probably argue that he's just never been warned about taking candy from strangers.
The mint is tossed and Anakin catches it in the metal palm of his mechano-hand; the response is precise enough that it'd be easy to mistake the limb as organic. If he didn't already have an uncovered organic hand to compare it to. Unselfconscious, Anakin unwraps the candy and immediately throws it into his mouth.] No offense- [This is how most offensive statements start isn't it? And the polite, professional façade probably goes right out the window as soon as he starts talking with his mouth full. The mint clicks against his molars.] But why would I want your undivided attention?

Doesn't that sound like a lot of work?
