Office hours [all day]

Anakin was standing on a chair in the middle of the room trying to attach what looked like a very complicated disco ball to the ceiling.

He was very interruptable.

Anakin shook his head. "Luke's a Jedi. I'm a mess."

"You're just a little disorganized," she said softly.

"And the sun's just a little hot," Anakin replied.

"You're a Jedi, Anakin," she said, shaking her head. "It's in your blood and your bones."

And this was starting to hurt worse. She needed to numb herself.

"But it's up to you, of course."
sith_happened: (Anakin: I feel lost)

Anakin nodded, looking down at the floor. "It'll take some time," he said. "Right now...I'm lost."

"You'll find your way," she said. "Some of us have maps."

She fidgeted. "I should get out of your hair."
sith_happened: (Anakin: doofy smile)

Anakin gave her a small smile. "Probably," he admitted.

His gaze lingered on her face. "It's good to see you looking better, Rory," he said quietly.

She shrugged, stung by the admission that he wanted her to leave. "Thanks."

She picked up her cup and neatly dropped it in the trash before heading out the door.

As she walked back to her room, the events of the day spun in her mind, andshe felt her face heating.

When she reached 213, she sat down and let the tears come. The girlish, pathetic tears.

When they stopped, she promised herself she'd never let him have that kind of control over her emotions again. No more fantasies, no more happily-ever-afters. She'd go to Yale and have a normal life. Date normal boys. Deal with normal things.

It didn't make her heart feel better, but her mind was finally at ease.
