Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin opened his office door.

And stared.

Someone had redecorated.

Anakin stomped around the office examining streamers on the ceiling and paint on the wall, then the glitter-bestrewned Farrah Fawcett poster, and finally flounced over to sit in his chair.

With its pink boa.

He waved a hand and started up his little galaxy of stars, then picked up a pen that had been decorated with feathers--all of his pens had been decorated with feathers, what the hell?--and hoped no one visited today.

Though that didn't seem very likely.

"Did he?" Anakin smiled. "I'm glad."

Something occurred to him. "He stayed over?" Cue the weird twisting feeling in his stomach.

"He's practically living there, what with me being sick and him worrying and him dragging me out of Caritas and whatnot," Rory said obliviously.

His stomach was doing somersaults now.

"Oh," he said in a small little voice, then pasted on his best I'm Totally Okay With This smile.

Rory's brow creased. "Why?"

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

Anakin was certainly not going to tell her about this unreasonable and petty jealousy.

"No reason," he said. "Drink your coffee."

"You're bossier than I am," she replied, raising her brows and drinking. "Have you done anything interesting recently?"

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

"Yes," Anakin said with a nod. "I went completely insane and decorated my office."

He gave her a penetrating look. "No, that was someone else."

Rory smiled innocently. "I like what they did with your chair."

"I was thinking of keeping it this way," Anakin deadpanned. "Pink being my color and all."

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You could use a little color in your life, Anakin," she said, raising a brow. "That much hasn't changed."

"I like my clothes black and my coffee unsweetened," Anakin said, shifting his shoulders. "Some things don't change." He took a sip from his mug. "Rose made me try some horrifyingly sweet frappasomething last night at the Perk. Ew."

"Rose?" Rory asked, the hair on the back of her neck standing up.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "Rose Tyler," he said, "no relation to Jaye. She's another teacher here." He smiled. "She's a lot of fun. I'm teaching her how to fly."

"You are?" Rory asked, feeling a little sick. "Oh. Wasn't she a student here before, too?"

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

"Yes, but not in a time-traveling way. She's a different version along the timeline," he said. He tilted his head to look at Rory. "Are you feeling all right?"

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Dandy," she said, staring down at her cup. "Is she your age, then? Your physical age, I mean."

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

"I think so, or close enough," Anakin said. "We haven't exactly discussed it."

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Seems awful important to you to be just skipped over," she told her coffee.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

Anakin sighed. "We're not running off together," he said. "We're having coffee."

That wasn't going to exactly endear him to the one who introduced him to coffee.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh."

That was all she had.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

Anakin got the feeling he'd done something wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

"So did you call anyone else when you were at Caritas?" he asked.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hamlet, Alec, Jaye, Charlie, Xander," she recited. "And Luke, of course."

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[sith_happened]

"Of course," he echoed hollowly.

Bad choice of conversation topics, but he didn't want her to leave yet.

"I saw John today," he said.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"How is he?" she asked immediately.

Re: Visit Anakin after classes

"Not in the clinic, if you were worried," Anakin said dryly.
