Sometimes, Anakin felt the only person who truly understood him was Chancellor Palpatine. He knew that in the Chancellor's office, he was free to say anything that was on his mind, without fear of reproach -- or of being assigned extra meditation. Meditation didn't solve anything. And it was so boring!

Anakin much preferred to spend his free afternoons with the Chancellor. This extremely busy man always found time to talk to him, never made him feel like an intrusion or annoyance, and offered a sympathetic ear as well as sage advice.

( He also offered fine Corellian brandy... )
