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.

"No, it's okay," she assured him with a weak smile. "I mean I'm trying to figure out what the limits are. Obviously that's one. I suppose I won't randomly pick stuff up. But if someone deliberately tries, I'm not strong enough to stop them. At least not right now."

"I'll make sure Luke knows," Anakin said with a small smile. "Blocking it will just be a matter of practice."

"Thanks. My head's been messed with enough lately," Isabel sighed. "I wouldn't even be trying to figure this out, except for that idea I mentioned. That's important."

Anakin's eyes lasered onto hers. "Someone's been messing with your head?"

She nodded slowly. "Not here. The short version of a long story? We found a way back to Antar and went a few weeks ago. I wound up captured for a few weeks and basically had one hell of a head game played on me. Then I fell through this rift in time and space and wound up back on earth, a few days after I left."

Anakin looked guilty. "Oh, Isabel, I'm sorry. I wouldn't have used that last memory on you if I'd known." He bit his lip. "I'm sure it's trite to ask how you're holding up, but I'm asking anyway."

"It's okay. You didn't know. Not that many people do, it happened so quickly," Isabel explained. "As for how I'm going? I've got good friends. They've been looking out for me, so it helps."

Re: Visit Anakin in the afternoon

Anakin nodded. "If you need another friend looking out for you, count me in," he said quietly. "It's been a while, but I've been where you are. War is a terrible thing -- nothing you could tell me would scare me."

"Thanks. Honestly the worse part is just knowing I have to go back," she said, her face making clear just how much she was looking forward to it. "This, being here, is like a dream sometimes. But Max and Michael are still there, and once the time thing gets worked, I owe it to them to find a way back."

And the conversation with Greg suddenly had context.

"I definitely know that feeling," Anakin said softly. "I once endangered an entire solar system rescuing Obi-Wan. It worked, but the planning could've been better."

"I don't think I'll go to that extreme," Isabel replied, trying to act casual. "But no matter how bad it is, it's always been the three of us. I'm not going to change that now."

Re: Visit Anakin in the afternoon

Anakin nodded. "When the time comes, run your plan past me?" he asked. "I might spot some holes."

He knew better than to stop her from going.

"I will. And now I'd better get out of your hair for now," she smiled, getting to her feet. "Thank you for helping."

Re: Visit Anakin in the afternoon

"Any time," Anakin said with a smile. "I'll see you soon."
