Vader's office [Thursday night, NFB]

Vader was in his office, printing out his lesson plans and leaving notes for Krycek about each of the Ethics students.

He rather suspected he wouldn't be back in time for final exams.

The shuttle would wait as long as he told it to--he was Darth Vader, after all--but taking too long to tie up loose ends would only further anger the Emperor.

He moved quickly around the office, forgetting that he had left the door slightly ajar.

( Rory had left Luke in the clinic, somewhere between numb and feeling so much she couldn't register any of it. )
