Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was in his office before workshops began, sipping coffee and staring into space.

Literally.

He'd gotten his miniature version of his galaxy up and running again.

If he seemed to be spending a great deal of time staring at a small volcanic planet, then at the calendar on his desk, well, he wasn't going to explain himself.

Anakin tilted his head and looked at Luke. "You don't give yourself nearly enough credit," he replied. "You could do this too."

Luke laughed. "Sure I could," he said. "It would be the work of a lifetime, though. Not a weekend."

He bit his lip. "Speaking of weekend, um, my birthday's coming up. I didn't know when yours was until Rory told me and I felt badly about it...I didn't want you to be in the same spot."

"It's on August 5th, right?" Anakin asked in a voice that was trying too hard to be neutral.

He knew it was. It was a day that had been impossible for him to forget. And not because he became a father: he hadn't known about that until roughly this time last year.

Luke's forehead furrowed. "Yes," he said quietly. "I was thinking...maybe we could do something? Just the two of us?"

Anakin could think of few things in his life that he rather not being doing that day, but he nodded anyway. "I'll see you then, son."

Luke could sense the conflict, but he didn't push. "I'll see you on Sunday, then," he said with a small smile, heading for the door.
