Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had thought he'd hit "post entry" three hours ago was in his office today, rereading "What to Expect When You're Expecting."

He remembered the last few weeks of Rory's pregnancy being, well, more filled with kidnappings the last time.

Weirdly, that wasn't in the book!

The door was open.

"You should tell Zoe that some time," Anakin replied. "I know she worries if we've prepared you all."

Kennedy grinned. "Think I will, yeah. Since I can now speak from experience when I say that trying to prep a bunch of scared teenagers for something big and scary is actually really tough."

Aw, look at that. She unwittingly referenced her own canon's metaphorical premise.

Anakin grinned. "It's amazing how stupid they get in the time you're gone, huh?"

[brat_inslayage]

"I meant back there," Kennedy amended quickly, "but that applies now, too... and can I just say thank god none of my friends are actually taking my class? Because wow, too weird."

[sith_happened]

"It's really weird," Anakin agreed. "Rory was my TA the first summer after I graduation."

[brat_inslayage]

"I've got Bobby and Squall doing that," Kennedy answered. "And I still have no idea when the students got to be so tiny."

That was rich, given her own lack of stature.

"You kind of want to pat them on the head, huh?" he teased.

Kennedy pretended to look innocent for a moment. "I'm thinking of it as an exercise in self-restraint. Because hi, weird."

"A little," Anakin said. "It's so funny to watch the new kids during their first invasion, too."

[brat_inslayage]

"To see all the different ways they react?" Kennedy laughed. "I couldn't wait for the first one, and when it turned out to be killer vegetables I felt kinda ripped off."

More seriously she added, "I feel bad for the ones who freak out. Hopefully the ones who can deal have their back, still." Or she'd be seriously tempted to yell at them.

"I hope so too," Anakin said. "If you hear otherwise, let me know?"

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy had always had a protective complex when it came to her friends, and now with this whole new level of responsibility added onto it...

"Damn right I will."

That wasn't even something she had to wonder about.

[sith_happened]

"We'll give them a detention that'll make them cry."

Anakin, don't sound so satisfied by that.

[brat_inslayage]

Anakin, don't encourage her.

"You know, I always thought you were cool."

[sith_happened]

"You were so right," Anakin decided.

[brat_inslayage]

"Things I wish people would tell me more often," Kennedy drawled, rolling her eyes playfully.

Ahahaha. No, Kennedy.

[sith_happened]

"Well, now you're a teacher. You'll hear it more often or you're not teaching them the right thing."

[brat_inslayage]

"No pressure, though." Kennedy grinned. "Though, that was sort of the plan behind this whole teaching gig."
