Humans were easy to spot on the station. Owmi looked humanoid, but they were still distinct enough that a human wandering seemingly aimlessly through the station stuck out like a sore thumb. And that got the young Jedi's attention right away.

Because that wasn't just aimless wandering.

Two years under Jedi tutelage, plus almost ten years a student of the harsh reality of life on Tatooine, he'd learned to pick out strange, yet patterned, behavior of others.

He trailed the new-comer for a while until it was clear that his target was aware of him stalking him.

At that point Anakin might as well give up the ruse.

"You can't leave," he said. "Learning about them- It won't do anything. If you steal a ship and try to get away, that Orakalla thing does something... something, and it pulls you right back to it." Anakin thought that was the thing this new person needed to know the most.

Oh, and, "Then the Owmi will be mad at you after that."
