Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was in his office sketching something out on what appeared to be almost an entire ream of paper.

Every now and again his attention would wander and he'd stare out the window and watch the rain fall, lost in thought.

Anakin smirked. "Oh, you could dance," he said. "You just weren't allowed to care about your partner." He rolled his eyes. "One of the stupider rules."

"That's stupid." She declared, "Fact, it's the most stupid thing I've heard in the whole history of stupid."

"In order to love and serve all, we couldn't love anyone more than anyone else," Anakin said. "I did." He bit his lip. "It was a disaster."

Talk about putting a nice spin on things.

She shook her head, "Stuffy rules, it's not any wonder somethin' wrong."

"They're all gone now," Anakin said softly, "so I feel badly pointing out their shortcomings."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Oh..." What is it with her and meeting people who were the last of their kind? "I'm sorry."

"Vader...was cruel," Anakin said softly.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Vader? His predecessor Vader?

"I suspected as much," she said carefully, remembering their discussions, "Since I only knew him from Fandom... but I liked him I-- I hope that doesn't make me a bad person in your eyes. I suppose it's because he isn't the first person I know who'd committed genocide."

Anakin's eyebrows rose almost to his scalp. "He wasn't?"

The Doctor didn't like to talk about it but Rose knew enough to deduct the outcome of the Time War.

"He isn't," Rose said, looking past Anakin, "Strange isn't it? He was a very good friend of mine, he was-- is a good man but he did what he had to do because it was necessary. It's why I never judge other people's actions without context."

[sith_happened]

"The context wouldn't save him," Anakin replied fiercely.

Rose looked at him then nodded, "Then I believe you." She looked around the office, "Oh, hey, you ever going to show me your banthabell mad skillz?"

Anakin ducked his head. "I don't have a bell with me," he said. "I'll ask Luke and see if he's brought one."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"That'd be great, met your son Luke by the way, cute kid." She said with a grin, "Are all you Skywalker men born cute?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin blushed. "Yes?"

Rose's teeth caught the tip of her tongue, she wrinkled her nose, failing to hide her amused grin.

"You're just too easy, Anakin." She crowed.

[sith_happened]

"I've heard that before," he admitted.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"It's cause you are," she chuckled, shook her head, "It was great talking to you again, Anakin."

[sith_happened]

"See you soon, Rose," Anakin replied with a small smile.
