Anakin looked down and mumbled a heartfelt, "I missed you, too."
It wasn't an admission he was embarrassed about, it just came on the coattails of a lot of emotions, emotions that had been up and down all evening.
He was still wary, because of those emotions, because of past experiences. Because he didn't want to get hurt either, and he'd already been singed enough, here.
He scratched at a spot on the table. Fidgeting helped him think.
"There isn't... a wrong way to have emotions, they just... are," he said. He'd spoken a lot with his therapists over the years about emotions and having them and how to deal with them. "I'm not mad that you have feelings. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have any emotions about what you experienced or what I experienced... Just... to hear me out."
