The years following the Vaders' rise to power and the cleansing of the Jedi Temple had been extremely taxing on Obi-Wan to say the least. Having lost his brother and former Padawan to the dark side, it was hard for Obi-Wan not to fall prey to depression. The silent gesture of giving him the Padawan braid without explanation was incredibly hard on him to say the least. It was something he would not forget. He blamed himself for having failed Anakin in some way. It was as though he hadn't been the mentor he should have been...as though he hadn't lived up to their father's expectations of him. He hadn't guided him as well as their father could have...to be the example Anakin needed. He had failed their father as well, for it had been his wish for Obi-Wan to train him, but yet, Obi-Wan also knew there were so many expectations placed on the boy since his birth, some of them quite outrageous. Chosen One by their father, the next Coruscanti Emperor by his mother stepfather...was it any wonder the boy rebelled?
Anakin chose to marry against his parents wishes and chose to the dark side. Despite this, it was still hard for Obi-Wan not to blame himself for Anakin's choices.
Even when asked by Master Yoda, Obi-Wan refused to fight and kill his brother. Many others had tried in his place and failed. He knew Anakin wouldn't challenge him, so Obi-Wan resigned to living in the protection of the Organas on Alderaan, helping the fledgling Alliance when they needed him.
The Alliance was now based on Dantooine, providing hope to the remnant Jedi, but none was so reassuring to Obi-Wan as his long-time friendship with Sabé Nabish. He risked rescuing her from being taken to her exile after her mistress's highly publicized execution. Despite the burns on her neck from his brother's lightsaber, her words brought hope to him, just as her presence and kind-hearted understanding brought him a peace he had not felt in many years. It was through her that he found out of Lady Vader's protection of the Jedi younglings. The older children who had not been placed in Nabooan homes were taken by him personally to Dagobagh to train with Master Yoda.
Obi-Wan didn't trust himself to take on a Padawan yet after his failings with Anakin. He still needed time to cope with it and helping the Alliance was one of his ways of coping, in order to undo some of the damage he had done. For the most part, Obi-Wan worked alongside Sabé, whom he now had the honour of calling his wife.
Though not many Jedi survived the cleansing, Master Windu relayed that instead of arriving at the Jedi enclave, which Vader ended up destroying, he had found Jedi Arxia on a wayward planet. She had lost her Padawan in the attack on the Temple. As the Jedi Order disbanded, the Grand Master gave them final parting orders to continue their lives as Jedi, train and protect the Force sensitives the Force blessed them to cross paths with, and continue underground knowledge of the Force and the ways of the Jedi. It was through this that Obi-Wan came to broach the subject of marriage with his dearest friend and former principle handmaiden. It was not long afterwards that Master Wundu revealed the comfort and support found in Jedi Arxia, whom he had refused to train many years ago because of his feelings for her. Now, with the loss of so many Jedi and the collapse of the order, the children of the Jedi would become an essential part in preserving their culture and spreading reverence of the Force.
The landing gears hissed as Obi-Wan de-boarded the Alliance craft borrowed for this trip to Naboo. He had been making frequent trips to the imperial planet in order to check up, from a distance, the Jedi younglings placed in homes by Saché Maberrie.
Though Obi-Wan was always questioned by the ever-increasing security, he never had any trouble sneaking in unnoticed, ever thankful for the ability to perform Jedi Mind Tricks and the weak-mindedness of the clones.
When he heard the news about Anakin's wife and child, as hard as it would be, Obi-Wan would not let him down. Yet, he wanted Sabé to go with him to Coruscant, dangerous though it would be. He requested this not for support, but rather for her patience and ability to deal with Anakin, whom he expected to be a handful.
He then departed swiftly from Naboo to Dantooine to pick up Sabé before heading to Coruscant. This was hardly the type of reunion Obi-Wan had in mind, let alone preferred, but Sabé reminded him that Anakin reaching out to him like this was a good sign.
Greeted by a slew of imperial officers, Obi-Wan was ushered into the palace and directed to the medical facility in which Lady Vader was being tended to.
Shaken, he departed without warning and ordered his officers to greet the Jedi Master and escort him to the medical wing. Unfortunately for Saché, the emperor soon discovered that Obi-Wan wasn't alone and upon discovering this, he proceeded to have another royal fit on his head of security. 'Just when were you planning to share this piece of information with me?' Vader growled at an equally surprised Saché who had no idea her friend was joining Master Kenobi.
'I'm sorry, but this is as much news to me as it is to you,' Saché stammered out in reply. Inwardly she couldn't help but fear for Sabé's safety, despite knowing she was more than well protected and trained.
'Why didn't you have your people stop her from entering? She is not welcome here or was the fact she was exiled not clear enough for you?' Anakin growled in utter rage to a less-than-amused Saché, who folded her arms and returned his glare.
'I was not informed that all others were to be refused. The only instructions were to escort Master Kenobi to the medlabs upon his arrival. Her ID codes came up clear as did her travel history. She is also his wife, which means by law, she is to be treated in the same fashion as he. Unless of course His Majesty would care to question Master Kenobi about the nature of his relationship to Lady Sabé—'
Vader promptly unleashed the dark side on his head of security via a Force choke. Studying her closely, Anankin curled a lip in disgust. 'I've about had enough of your attitude, Maberrie,' he growled, knowing she hadn't been lying about not knowing of Sabé's presence, but infuriated that she hadn't sent her away either.
Even before landing the ship, it was difficult to ignore the darkness surrounding almost everything on Coruscant. The dark feelings of desperation, despair, rage were almost overwhelming. It would take a well-trained Jedi to be able to look past them in order to feel anything outside of it, let alone be of any use to the suffering young mother. Obi-Wan was more disappointed than surprised at the sight he came upon.
'Let her go, Anakin,' Obi-Wan commanded upon his arrival to the area of the medical facility that his former Padawan and brother-turned-Sith Lord now stood, choking the security officer. Despite the name Anakin fashioned for himself upon becoming a Sith, to Obi-Wan he would always be his little brother who was currently venting his anger instead of being of any use.
Lost in his rage at the lack of control he had over the situation and the despair that he was going to lose his family anyway, Anakin proceeded to vent it all out on Saché. The petite woman valiantly struggled but was helpless to the Force attack unleashed. Had he not been so consumed by his own emotions, Anakin would have realised Obi-Wan was nearing, but it wasn't until the Master Jedi spoke his name that Anakin registered his presence. Immediately, he released his Force attack on Saché who dropped to her knees and began coughing as he turned his attentions to his brother.
Speechless, Anakin opened his mouth to speak only to close it again. This was not at all the sort of reunion he had in mind. For the moment, his rage with Sabé's arrival was forgotten as was her presence, which was now by Saché's side, trying to ensure she was all right.
Obi-Wan exchanged looks with his wife to be certain that the former handmaiden was all right before returning his attentions to the Sith Lord he called brother.
Sabé caught Obi-Wan's glance and gave a small nod, marking her friend was fine and that she was ready.
Shame flooded Anakin's thoughts, though he couldn't say why as it was Saché's fault for withholding information and Obi-Wan for having the gall of bringing Sabé with him. But the thought was a fleeting one as he knew time was running out for Dormé and their son. '...She's in here,' he said in barely audible tones before turning to lead Obi-Wan to where Dormé now rested unaware his presence was not only unnecessary but detrimental.
He followed Anakin to where Lady Vader lay unconscious. 'I'm going to ask you to remain outside of this room, Anakin,' he said softly though his voice was strong as he approached the pregnant woman. He rested a hand on her forehead. 'I must impress upon you the importance of this request. You know I am only here to help, but I cannot do that with too much distraction. That is why I asked Sabé to come with me.' He looked back at Anakin with an expression to illustrate his seriousness in this matter before returning his attentions to Lady Vader. He placed his other hand over her womb and began to clear his thoughts in order to begin a healing meditation.
Anakin frowned at Obi-Wan's instructions and was about to argue that it was his right to remain by his wife and son's side but the Jedi Master's expression caused him to falter. However despite Obi-Wan's obvious wisdom, Anakin was afraid that something would happen in his absence and was hesitant to depart. 'Obi-Wan, I promise I won't interfere,' Anakin pleaded in quiet but desperate tones. 'I just want to be near her,' he admitted quietly.
'I understand that, Anakin, but it would be best for all involved if you weren't,' Obi-Wan insisted, though not harshly. He was having difficulty reaching the lifesigns he needed in order to figure out what was wrong.
Anakin glared at Obi-Wan in silent challenge when the Jedi Master informed him that his presence would be better elsewhere. He had yet to understand that his darkness was in reality causing more damage than good and thus took it personal.
'The dark side is clouding my vision,' Obi-Wan said, his eyes closed, trying to concentrate. 'I must ask you to leave us.'
Anakin's expression fell and in place of anger came the strange familiar sense of guilt and shame. '...right...I'll leave you then,' he murmured quietly feeling more wounded now than irritated. Had this been under other circumstances, he would have smirked at what he believed to be proof that the dark side was stronger. Now it just left him feeling more afraid for his family than before.
As he turned to depart Anakin promptly found himself in Sabé's presence as she had quietly entered the room in order to assist in the Emperor's departure. However it wasn't necessary as Anakin brushed past her quickly without a word or even a glare.
Obi-Wan was thankful for Sabé's presence, knowing what a difficult position this put her in. After seeing Anakin in person committing such atrocious acts on Lady Maberrie who had done nothing but help the boy, and that he himself had banished Sabé from the empire, he knew it would not be safe for her to return. He was glad that she decided to join him though, if only to be able to bring hope to Anakin who was so lost in the darkness. Perhaps some of Sabé's wisdom would be able to reach him, where Obi-Wan had failed. For now, Obi-wan's sole concern was Lady Vader and the innocent child she carried.
Sabé didn't need to be Force sensitive to pick up on his emotions and knew that it was going to be quite a task to mind him. However, her concerns were more on Obi-Wan and the empress as well as her child. She prayed to the gods to guide her husband's hand and that Empress and baby would be saved. But before her prayer drew to a close, she also asked for patience as she had a feeling she was going to need it.
Once Anakin left, it became clear to him that both mother and child held remnants of the dark side of the Force. It had been draining them both.
In his mind, he replayed his short but potent conversation with his brother just as the image of Obi-Wan's disappointed expression upon catching him strangling Saché haunted his thoughts. Caught between these memories and the ever present fear that he was about to lose Dormé and their son Anakin found it difficult to keep it together nevermind play the role of a proper host.
Saché, having recovered from her ordeal with Anakin, thought ahead and graciously had the servants prepare a room for the Kenobi's to rest. She also had one of the maids bring tea and Apsintho's to both the Emperor and his unwanted guest.
Anakin, albeit grudgingly, couldn't deny the fact he was grateful to have something to drink to settle his nerves. Downing the first glass swiftly, in practically a single swallow, the Sith Lord promptly had it refilled and soon drained the second glass with equal speed. If Sabé's appalled look of concern bothered him it certainly didn't show. Feeling less out of sorts now, Anakin poured a third glass, not to ease his nerves, but to properly enjoy its potent taste. It didn't taste nearly as good as when he was enjoying it with Dormé but it was definitely better than what Sabé was having. However, the former handmaiden obviously felt otherwise and softly voiced her concerns, irritating his already delicate mood all the more.
'Maybe you should go easy on that,' she suggested politely.
Anakin shot her a withering look before hissing in reply, 'Maybe you should mind your iquicha business!'
Sabé readily returned his glare before giving a soft sigh as she just shook her head and sipped on her tea in silence.
The rest of the day, evening, and most of the night was spent in silence with the only the occasional few words exchanged mostly with Sabé attempting to be polite. While it irritated Anakin to no end, there was some small part of him that was grateful, as it kept his mind off his fears, even for a short time. In the end, all he really wanted was to be left alone so he could deal with his thoughts and emotions on his own.
Despite his exhaustion, he didn't bother going to bed as he knew that he wouldn't sleep anyway. He tried to suggest that Sabé return to the guest room that Saché had set up for her and his brother in the hope she would leave. Sabé, however, just politely shook her head and explained that she was fine to wait for Obi-Wan to be finished.
As the hour grew late, Anakin felt another powerful shift in the Force and knew it involved their son. Eager to learn what had happened, he rushed off towards the medlabs, only to be stopped by Sabé who attempted to talk him down. Anakin growled and verbally fought her with all the venom he had. He demanded that it was his right to see that Dormé was well, that their son was OK, that he could kill her without a moment's warning should she not comply to his demand.
Sabé did not move, leaving a furious Anakin to slam his cybernetic fist into the nearest wall that was, thankfully, a short distance away from where Obi-Wan and Dormé were. Cursing profusely in his native tongue, he once more attempted to threaten Sabé who held her ground and drew her blade in warning.
'I'm sorry, Anakin, but I can't let you pass. This is obviously a delicate procedure. If you interrupt Obi-Wan now, who knows the damage that could be caused? Do you really want to take that chance?' she pleaded desperately with him.
Anakin's thoughts returned to the terrifying experience with the hermit healer and the phantom image of Aené and immediately scattered leaving him to abruptly turn around and depart down the hall. Sabé silently followed to ensure he wouldn't try to find another way into the room.
However despite this it wasn't long before he sensed his brother's now quite weakened aura nearing and knew that the Jedi Master had ended his healing prematurely. The thought infuriated him as Dormé was obviously far from healed for her aura was far too weak even now for his liking. Promptly he blinked back his tears as he frowned, facing Sabé, who had now rushed with much concern on her features to greet her exhausted husband.
'What is the meaning of this! Why have you stopped? Dormé is still in need of healing! She is on the verge of dying and you're stopping now!' he snapped. Had Anakin the decency to properly read Obi-Wan's Force signature, he would have realised the Jedi Master was hardly in any shape to do anything but rest. But the emperor was selfish by nature—a trait that was more than exploited due to his titles and constant use of the dark side. As such, he cared little for his brother's weakened condition or the fact he had just saved his family, only the fact that Dormé was still recuperating and hardly fully healed.
Obi-Wan was in no condition to argue with Anakin or defend himself, let alone process the location Lady Maberrie set aside for him to rest in. He was accurate in his assessment that a few hours rest was all he needed before he could resume healing the empress.
At Anakin's rather ignorant protests, Sabé was quick to defend Obi-Wan and promptly explained that his brother would not leave unless he was certain Dormé was well enough to permit his absence. She withheld mentioning that had Anakin trained enough in the light side, he could have healed Dormé himself.
Though Anakin was doubtful of this fact he never had the chance to continue his argument as Sabé was promptly guiding Obi-Wan to their temporary quarters nearby so he could rest.
Sabé was concerned about Obi-Wan and stayed with him as long as she could massaging his back and arms until he fell asleep. Then she departed from their chambers, for despite her exhaustion, she didn't trust Anakin. Fortunately for her, or more exactly for Dormé and their son, the emperor refrained from visiting the medical wing.
Having not slept since Dormé collapsed, Anakin was hardly in any state to do much himself. But Anakin had discovered that while the baby was healthy, he was intensive care because of his premature birth and was eager to learn what he could. He also wanted to learn of Dormé's condition and was more than eager to pay her a visit. But due to his own exhaustion, Vader unintentionally nodded off while waiting for the med droids to bring him up to date on his family's condition.
Sleeping half-lying down, half sitting up on the plush couch of the living space that overlooked the cityscape was how Sabé found him a short time later. The handmaiden didn't bother to wake him up and promptly returned to Obi-Wan.
A short time later, Anakin awoke to find himself wiser than he did before he slipped off to rest. Furious at the fact the medical droids never informed him of the news pertaining to his wife and son, the Sith Lord destroyed the first two droids he encountered. Still fuming, he then stormed off to the medlab to demand an explanation and more importantly access to his still healing wife and their son.
Once Dormé regained consciousness, she was extremely weak and disoriented. When she realised that she was in the medical facility, she turned her head to the side to see Master Kenobi. 'My baby?' she queried, her voice dry.
'He's healthy, Your Highness,' Obi-Wan replied softly, smiling to see her awakening. 'You have a healthy baby boy.'
Dormé smiled. 'I want to see him.'
Obi-Wan complied and fetched the little one. Though the empress was far too weak to sit up properly, he assisted her in holding the newborn.
Dormé was elated to see him, to touch him, kiss him, hold him, albeit with the aid of Master Kenobi. Tears of joy spilled down her cheeks as she marvelled at his tiny form, his little hands and fingernails, the little noises he made. His eyes weren't open yet, but soon after his little hand wrapped around her finger, they did and Dormé gasped, despite how quickly he shut them again. He yawned and she murmured to him just how much she loved him.
Once the baby fell asleep, Dormé had to ask, 'Where's Anakin?'
At the question, Obi-Wan was not about to tell the young mother that he would not be in to see her because of the dark side's effects, for she was far from fully healed and didn't want to burden her. Instead, he touched her forehead with his free hand telling her, 'Right now you need to rest. You will see him soon.' he then used the Force to usher her back to sleep while the medicine did the rest.
Obi-Wan then returned the baby to the intensive care unit before resuming his healing meditation for the empress. When he was satisfied that, with the assistance of the medical team, she would make a full recovery, Obi-Wan left the medical facility to confront his younger brother with the truth.
'Dormé—how is she? What about our son? I heard he was intensive care. What is going on with them? When can I see them?' he quickly asked his anger long since forgotten as he studied his brother impatiently waiting for answers.
Obi-Wan found himself swiftly in his younger brother's presence and expected the questions he received. This time, he was in a far more stable shape himself to answer the heavy questions. 'The empress will make a full recovery and your son is healthy, but this is a very dangerous time for the both of them and they will have to be monitored carefully over the next few days for any changes in this assessment.'
Anakin nodded slightly in reply to his brother's words and was about to demand that he see them immediately as he wanted to witness their recovery first hand.
Placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, Obi-Wan added, 'There is much we need to discuss. I think it would best be said in private.' The truth was that he knew the dark side's effects were not limited to a small circumference and that it would be best if Anakin used the dark side if they were farther away from his wife and child.
Uncertain what to make of this, Anakin complied with Obi-Wan's request to speak of such things in private. Though Vader was curious and anxious to learn what Obi-Wan had to say he also didn't press the matter as he knew better than to bother trying. Obi-Wan was a patient man who had no qualms about refusing Anakin's constant nagging if he wasn't ready to share what was on his mind.
The walk was in silence as Obi-Wan was not about to reveal anything until he was certain they were far enough away from the medical facility that if he needed to, he could prevent Anakin from going there, by force if necessary. Obi-Wan was extremely guarded, even once they were alone. He knew Anakin would hardly believe him at first, but in the end he would come to realise the truth. 'This is not going to be easy for you to hear but you must.'
'What was the cause? I swear if it was the healers tampering with her I will have them all skinned alive,' Anakin growled, momentarily forgetting that he already had them killed.
Obi-Wan was unaware that the empress had already lost three children, as he was only aware of Princess Aené's death. Had he known, he would not have been surprised there had been other miscarriages. In fact, it was a miracle at all that the empress was able to become pregnant with the amount of the dark side surrounding her so intimately.
It took Vader a bit to realise that Obi-Wan was leading him well away from the medical labs and this caused him to grow increasingly suspicious of his brother's motives. However the Sith Lord withheld his thoughts on this matter too as his curiosity and concern was too great to ignore. Once they were quite alone and some distance from the medlab Obi-Wan finally spoke up. His words were simple but direct and deep within Anakin had a sinking feeling he knew what this was about. But he had long since grown used to lying to himself and to believing the dark whispers of the dark side, leaving him easy prey to blatant denial despite the truth that resonated deep within his heart and soul.
'I know this is the first time Empress Dormé has come close to dying; I felt it in her Force signature. There is only one way to prevent this from happening again and if you want your wife and son to live, you must stop using the dark side. This is the only way. It was sapping both the child's Life Force and hers as well. Even the residue from having used it before being in her presence has negative effects.
The answer was hard and unexpected, hitting Anakin's straight through the heart as though he had been shot. In stunned silence, the emperor could only stare at his brother in utter disbelief and shock. In the back of his mind, he could almost hear the hermit healer's words reminding him of what Obi-Wan was now stating as fact. Shaking his head, Anakin's expression turned from shocked disbelief to pained denial. Silently he fought the truth with the lies he had so desperately come to depend on over the years.
'I believe this is what caused the death of your daughter as well. I'm sorry, Anakin.'
The Sith Lord felt the last of his control deteriorate. He drew the darkness around him with unnatural speed—an instinctive reaction, one he wasn't entirely aware he was doing. 'How dare you suggest I would do such a thing! You honestly believe I would kill my own children! That I would use the dark side to harm my own wife?' Vader hissed in pained rage as his hand slipped to his lightsaber.
Obi-Wan allowed Anakin to vent his emotions and retaliate verbally to what he knew to be the truth. The dark side was slowly sapping them of their life energy, the residue was blatantly evident in their cells. 'I know you wouldn't do it on purpose, Anakin. I'm not blaming you, just trying to help you understand what's happening to them—'
Anakin did not make any effort to activate his lightsaber, neither did he remove it from its hilt. As furious as Obi-Wan made him, there was still a part of Anakin that couldn't hurt his brother. 'You think that by blaming me for the loss of Aené, for the loss of our other children that I'd just turn my back on the dark side? That I'd readily toss aside my destiny as a Sith Lord? I was never meant to follow the light side brother and you know it! No amount of your self-righteous lies is going to ever change that fact!' he snapped in rage feeling utterly insulted and wounded by Obi-Wan's facts. Now if you'll excuse me I've had about enough of your pathetic attempts to guilt me into changing my mind,' Vader retorted sharply as he brushed passed the Jedi Master. Though the doubts flooded his mind and the truth continued to plague him, Anakin still hung onto the lies and was now more determined than ever to see his beloved and their son. If not for anything than to prove to both Obi-Wan and himself that he was, without question, not responsible for their condition.
Oh by the Force, there were more! Shocked at this, Obi-Wan felt Anakin's grief hit him tenfold. 'This is no ploy to get you to return to the light side, Anakin!' he replied, though he was not yelling at him. But Anakin was stalking towards the doorway. 'You will be risking their lives going in there with the darkness surrounding you. Your wife cannot sense it. She cannot defend herself from it—'
Anakin just shook his head to Obi-Wan's words as he glared at him in disgust and rage. 'Oh spare me your lies. What sort of fool do you take me for Obi-Wan? Or is this your way of making yourself feel better over the fact I chose to follow the Sith instead of remaining a Jedi!' Anakin snapped before storming off towards the medical labs.
Despite his initial plan to stop Anakin via his lightsaber, Obi-Wan knew that using weapons would only increase Anakin's use of the dark side and perpetuate the downward spiral. 'For the sake of your children, Anakin,' Obi-Wan called after him, 'don't do it.'
Though Anakin was quite lost in the darkness the emperor wasn't so lost as not to hear his brother's warning. He didn't bother looking back but uttered a string of Huttese curses in reply. Anakin had about enough of his brother's self-righteous attitude and wanted nothing more than to see for himself that his family was doing well. But as he neared the medical labs, the emperor was stopped by Sabé who tried much like her husband to talk him down. Vader however was in no state of mind to argue with Sabé and promptly used the Force to send her flying back across the hallway.
Saché, who had been with her at the time with intents on visiting the empress herself, received similar treatment.
Furious now and ever determined to see Dormé and their son, Anakin proceeded to enter the small room that would take him to the empress. With great impatience, he waited for the miserable med droids to give him clearance to see her while watching Dormé intently through the glass that separated them. However, just as his eyes settled onto her healing form, Anakin's eyes were soon focusing on something else entirely.
Returning his gaze through the glass was Aené. With her hands firmly pressed against the glass, she stared at her father with amber eyes filled with sorrow.
Frozen in position, Vader found himself unable to move as his heart jumped to his throat. The last time he saw Aené was when he was killing the hermit healer. The three-year-old wore the exact expression then and in his mind, he could still hear her voice begging him to stop while sobbing softly.
Obi-Wan followed him, but at a slower pace. He didn't put his words to heart, knowing the boy was hurt and overreacting. If he had to learn the hard way, that would be the only way that it would reach him. He hardly reached them in time to ease Sabé and Lady Saché's fall, though he cushioned them as best he could. When he was assured they were all right, he saw Anakin walking back from the direction he came. He couldn't stop himself from breathing a sigh of relief, though he felt it wasn't just his words that reached the young man.
Speechless, and more than a little spooked by this turn of events, the Sith Lord swallowed hard and promptly departed from the med lab's entrance. The droids attempted to ask him if there was a problem but Anakin's thoughts were elsewhere leaving him unable to register anything save for his need to leave this place. Rushing out into the hallway, he barely even registered Sabé and Saché's presence as Vader proceeded to depart for the nearest exit with a single intent in mind: to return to Aené's resting place where he hoped he could confront this ghost of the past and, Force willing, perhaps even be able to make peace with their daughter.
Dormé was just rousing when she saw the form of Anakin stalking away from the medical facility. She wanted to see him. 'Anakin,' she said, weakly, but he had since departed and did not hear her.
