[ Thank you, Anakin says and Claude knows, between them, it's not a gift but an offering and that is what the other man is thanking him for. For trusting him, for offering him the opportunity to prove himself further, although he's already proven himself plenty. Claude trusts him - he has trusted him, since the beginning, but now he has the hard proof in his hand, or soon he will have. That Anakin is working with himself, against the Empire.
Padmé won't require more than that. She will allow it. He glances quickly back at Sabé, then returns his attention to Anakin who is wiping at his eyes, the small medical droid whirring around him, apparently checking him for malfunction and injury. A part of Claude, something deep inside, freezes a little at the sight, not because it's evidence as to how much they have all lost, Anakin especially, but him too and the galaxy with them. But because it's Anakin fighting to see another day, the only way he can, now.
Claude wants to touch him, but the time isn't right. Their time will come, but it isn't now, right? It isn't now.
He'll have to make Bail send him the bacta, shouldn't be too difficult. The rest will stay between Padmé and him, Padmé and him and Sabé, because she comes attached - the way some people do. He meets Anakin's eyes, smiling slightly. ]
If you take care of yourself, I'll take care of the rest.
[ He transfers the coordinates without a second thought. With a weak wave, mostly reluctant, he ends the transmission. ]
