Secluded glade in the Preserve [morning and NFB]

[sith_happened]

He'd promised he'd help with her nightmares, so Anakin left the hotel early and walked back to the preserve.

After checking to make sure there weren't any squirrels or deer in the vicinity, he pulled his hood up over his head and sat down on a rock, waiting for Callisto to arrive.

[OOC: Locked to Callisto, please. SP for great time zone justice.]

"Would it have?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin snorted. "Do I seem like the type to name my children something that cutesy?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"You never know," Callisto said.

[sith_happened]

"I wasn't there for the birth," Anakin said softly, "so I didn't know their names for a long time."

"You win at familial disfunction," Callisto replied quietly. "Mine are just dead."

[sith_happened]

"A contest I never wanted to enter," Anakin said just as quietly.

"I don't think anyone actually gets a choice there."

"The most normal part of my family is that I'm dating someone who, due to Fandom's ridiculousness, is now three months younger than my son."

"I'm pretty sure there's a cradle-robbing joke to be made in there somewhere."

[sith_happened]

Anakin raised an eyebrow. "I appreciate your restraint in not saying it."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto shrugged. "Not like I have much call for making fun of you for age differences."

[sith_happened]

"I wasn't going to mention it," Anakin said quietly.

"Not your fault I was stupid enough to think I was worth something," Callisto replied softly.

[sith_happened]

Anakin's mouth pursed. "If we're back to this again...his fault. Not yours. Never, ever let someone decide your value for you. If I had, I'd still be a slave on Tatooine."

"It's hard to think otherwise when someone's willing to murder you for no reason and no one acts like they've done anything wrong," Callisto said quietly.

[sith_happened]

"Work on it," Anakin demanded. "This wilting flower crap isn't you, Callisto."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I don't like flowers," Callisto replied automatically, not that it actually had anything to do with it.

[sith_happened]

"Metaphor, Cal," Anakin said with a smile. "I won't even make it be about justice."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"If you start going on about spoons we are going to need to have a serious chat."

[sith_happened]

Anakin's smile widened. "I'd never be able to pull off the spandex."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I'd be more worried about the antennae."

[sith_happened]

"Me, too, now that I think about it," Anakin replied, snickering.

"Plus it might traumatise Rory into never sleeping with you again," Callisto pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"Can't have that," Anakin agreed.

"I imagine she would be upset about that."
