While their first encounter had been one of chance, Anakin was searching out his old colleague and friend deliberately this time. Following the guidance of the Force, he found himself led to the greenhouse. Plants and wildlife - Those were two things that Anakin had never considered himself an expert in. For probably obvious reasons. But somehow the setting was fitting for Tarkin, especially if the Jedi recalled what he knew about the former Grand Moff.

Detecting the older man wasn't difficult, and Anakin approached openly and without and attempt to hide his presence "Tarkin. We must talk."

Anakin could sense Tarkin's resentment as clear as day, but he wouldn't comment on it "Considering how you still cling to the ways of the Empire, I am not surprised." he pointed out instead, then cast a quick look around to ensure no one else was around before he went on.

"The Emperor kept many secrets. I need to know how much was truly publicly known."

He would have sighed in response, maybe even growled. But all that the tall man in the dark armor and mask did was cross his arms across his chest.

"The both of us played the parts we were destined to take on in the history of our galaxy. But those parts are over now as is our active influence on whatever path it will take next. You can dwell on the past as much as you wish while I concern myself with the future. I, too, wanted to believe that the Empire was what our galaxy needed. I convinced myself to believe that illusion like a fool, even though I was aware that my old master had his own plans. Maybe even more than he ever bothered to tell me. What I did was the right thing to do for our galaxy at large."

Darth Vader had never been a man of many words, but one quick to end a dispute with a quick kill. Anakin Skywalker, however, was a man willing to argue with words before drawing his saber. And that was the man that now tipped his head forward just a little.

"I could get those information in different ways, but I would prefer to avoid having to do so."

"I disagree." Anakin replied, maintaining his tone. He had known it from the very beginning that trying to get anything out of Tarkin easily equaled pulling teeth. The man seemed to enjoy to make things as difficult for everyone else as possible.

"What happens in our galaxy may be out of my influence, but do not forget that I agreed to take on a different part on this ship." A new duty. And another one he was inclined to take seriously. Which was part of the reason he had begun to seek out these information.

"The easiest way for you to get rid of me is to simply answer me."
