You had not noticed that he had been mediating. He remained completely silent, his eyes closed as he breathed deeply. The Jedi often meditated to maintain calm and serenity, which helped them deal with the Force.

So when you walked onto the balcony in the middle of that sunset and asked Anakin something, he didn’t answer instantly. You found his silence strange, but you saw that he was meditating and you understood.

You immediately apologized in a small murmur, for you knew how important meditation was to a Jedi. And your sister had always warned you never to interrupt a Jedi. Padmé would be deeply upset if she knew of your mistake.

You turned to step off the balcony and leave Anakin with his daily meditation. You grabbed some of the skirt of your dress so you wouldn’t trip over the step.

"Don’t go." Anakin muttered. He still kept his eyes closed, it was amazing how he controlled the environment around him even though he didn’t open his eyes. "Your presence is soothing."
