Office hours, Saturday, October 3rd

[sith_happened]

As was his tradition, Anakin had strong coffee (for himself. He wasn't sharing) and soothing Alderaanian music playing in his office. The door was open and he was happy (well, paid to be happy) to talk to any of the weekend's visitors about their little monsters adorable and brilliant progeny.

May had to stop by here after some of the phone calls she'd received in recent weeks.

"Exactly what were you thinking with that baby project?" May demanded. That was her hello. "Did you give them no guidance about how to treat babies before shoving those, those whatever they were on your students?"

"Droid babies," Anakin said, "and many parents don't get much more guidance. The projects are more forgiving than the real thing."

"I'm well aware of that. I was well past the point where I expected to have children when my nephew came into my care, and learning how to take care of him was one of the hardest things I've ever done," May said. "But the only reason your students had less preparation than me is because you chose not to prepare them more before giving them a robot that disrupts their sleep and their classes, making it harder for them to learn anything but your point that raising children is hard."

The nephew thing was probably a red herring, but it probably shouldn't be a surprise that she was here for Gwen.

Anakin shrugged. "We like to make it difficult," he said. "When the real thing comes, they are more prepared than they might think."

"If what I've heard is any indication, the main thing your students are prepared for are measures to make sure they never experience the real thing," May suggested. "I can't imagine that was the reaction you were hoping for in teenagers."

It clicked for Anakin then. "She's the first student in almost ten years who jumped to 'let me tie my own tubes,'" he said.

"And one student isn't important enough to reconsider your approach?" May asked.

"We might add it to the list in the instructions that includes not eating the child or throwing it out the window," Anakin said.
