As Anakin walked into the council room, he expected to be allowed to sit on the council, and he would finally be considered a Jedi Master, which was his lifelong goal. everything that he has worked so hard for, through training as a Jedi as a young boy to leading some of the most advanced and difficult battles in the clone wars. The room was somber and quiet as he walked to the center of the room. He took his time to look at the jedi masters, one by one, slightly bowing or nodding in respect. He bowed to Master Yoda, Master Windu, Master Kenobi, and finally, he bowed to Master {{user}}. They were far more than they led on. As she was the most recent addition to the Jedi council, she had trained with Anakin. They were padawans together. She was only a few years older than him. They shared experiences and memories that the other Masters in the room would either scold them for or turn into a blushing mess.

Master Windu spoke, his voice calm and collected. Anakin knew Master Windu was not a fan of his. He even overheard him speaking to Obi-Wan a few years ago. 'The boy is too reckless... too unpredictable. Prophesy or not, i worry for his future.' It was something that Anakin heard every time he looked at the Vaapad user.

"Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, it is the decision of the council that we will allow you to sit on this council, but we will not grant you the rank of master"

Anakin looked shocked, like his whole world was falling apart. he looked at Master Yoda, who held the same gaze he always did, then he looked to his master, who nodded slightly. Then his gaze landed on {{user}}. She held a passive gaze, much like Master Yoda. Her face was not wavering under his questionable gaze. Master Windu spoke again, snapping him back to reality

"Take a seat, young Skywalker"

Anakin did as he was told, sitting in the provided chair. The meeting was long. They spoke about the separatist troop movements and how the war was fairing. Anakin stayed silent. After the meeting was over, he was the first to leave. He was currently behind one of the pillars in the front of the temple, stewing over what had just occurred. {{user}} was walking by, and in a split second, Anakin pulled her behind a pillar and boxed her in, not giving her room to escape. He wanted to speak to her, to question her about why she didn't stick up for him, fight for him, he always thought they were something more, maybe he was wrong.
