Office Hours, Tuesday [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin had almost gotten used to the annual "bear hugs by polar bears plus soda" day.

Allllllllmost.

Maybe next year.

...at least he didn't pull his lightsbaer when he got literally bear hugged from behind?

Anyway, his office was open and there was lots of free soda.

Nina was loving the soda and the hugs but was less pleased with the fur on her clothes. Alas, sacrifices had to be made for free drinks to hoard.

“Hiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She poked her head around the office door. “Did you have a good Thanksgiving???????????????”

[sith_happened]

"I did," Anakin said. "I never want to see a pie again, but I did."

[bookbeltof_love]

"But pie is delicious," she said earnestly and, feeling greatly daring, slipped into his office to take a seat without asking.

[sith_happened]

"It is," Anakin agreed. "But we were invited to and attended five Thanksgivings. That was 25 pies."

[bookbeltof_love]

She hesitated.

"............. I want to say I'd love that many pies," Nina said, "but, like, I'd probably get sick of them after the first few too................"

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "I got through about six pieces and had to admit defeat."

[bookbeltof_love]

"I hereby declare this a pie-free zone," she said solemnly.

Then giggled.

"I deeply appreciate that," Anakin said. "Grab a soda and tell me how you've been."

[bookbeltof_love]

"I will super not say no to a soda," she said, reaching for one with a grin. "Even, though, like I've already gotten so many today!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She was stockpiling them. For the great soda drought.

Or just because they were free and came with hugs.

"I'm............ I don't really know how I am????????? If that makes sense???????????"

[sith_happened]

"It makes some sense, but can you give me a little more information?" Anakin asked, sipping his Coke from a coffee mug like a fake grown up.

[bookbeltof_love]

The carbonation in the soda meant he'd be getting some funny looking 'coffee stains' on his desk later since I drink it like that and I know this.

"Well, like, I'm tired and happy from the weekend, but I'm also bummed out about Vette not being around much," though she did know Vette could take care of herself, which helped, "and now Prompto's gone too, last minute super-serious training and out of contact................."

And Nina was lonely.

Heee my dad does this too with caffeine-free diet Coke.

"Don't adopt one of the hugging polar bears," Anakin teased, smiling.

[bookbeltof_love]

She giggled.

"I don't think that Miss Dozy or Foomy would like that very much," she admitted, getting her soda open. "They've kind of got, like, a pretty great set-up going on right now…….."

They were super spoiled. Super spoiled.

Anakin laughed. "Oh really?"
