"Neither would I." Master Windu watches Anakin for a long moment before reaching out carefully with his hand, the Force following his gesture, and sliding over and around Anakin's shielding. "How do you avoid creating a void in the Force?"
"Obi-Wan described it like wrapping up in the Force and hiding in it. I just..." Anakin shrugs. "I don't even have to think about it very hard to do this. It takes more effort to do it with someone else, which is why I like the other way of keeping people away better. It's easier with more than one person."
"And you plan to teach us both this before we arrive wherever Skywalker is hiding?" Master Windu gives Anakin a skeptical look.
"I thought it might easier to show you how it looks from the inside?" Anakin grins sheepishly. "It's not impossible to do with more than one person, and then you get to see how it looks from this side of the shielding."
Master Windu nods, drawing his hand back to rest it on his knee, waiting patiently for Anakin. All the serenity a Jedi Master is supposed to have, and Anakin wonders that he's managing that so soon after everything had fallen apart. Or if he's just hiding his grief beneath a mask, or burying it to deal with later when there's time, like Anakin is trying to do.
Taking a deep breath, Anakin pushes that thought aside, and closes his eyes to better see what he's doing. Reaching out to Master Windu, offering an ephemeral hand to create a temporary and tenuous bond that is enough to make extending the shielding simpler. Unraveling and reweaving the shield as he wraps it around Master Windu, fractal patterns dancing across his mind as he settles it around them so there are no gaps for someone to find a hint of presence and pry the shielding apart.
It takes a little longer to do the same around Zett, though the bond feels less temporary than the other, and more akin to the one Anakin shares with his masters. No matter what it may mean, it is at least enough to allow him to show them both how the shielding works, to let them see the patterns and threads that go into making them seem like nothing more than the flow of the Force itself.
