Office hours

Anakin's desk was covered in electronics as he spun a tiny screwdriver between his fingers and consulted his schematics again.

It was easier to keep his mind off of unpleasant thoughts when his hands were busy.

The door was open.

[OOC: What Anakin and Molly talked about NFB, please.]

"Then it takes years," she replied softly. "You've only been back two weeks and five days."

Rory's smile faded slightly. "I'm glad you came back before I left," she said quietly.

She wasn't ready to tell him that she might not have left if he hadn't.

Rory swallowed hard, feeling her face flush, and finally looked away.

She studied his desk, playing with the coffee in her hands. "Foolish, then."

"I didn't know it would," she pointed out, barely audible.

Rory smiled a little. "Maybe you should work on that."

"Yes, because stubborn people are very frustrating," she added, trying not to smile and failing.

"I'm very flexible," Rory deadpanned.

Rory paused, then turned a very flattering shade of fucshia.
