Office hours [all day]

Anakin was putting together a list of potential gifts for Rory.

But that would hardly do wonders for his reputation as a badass. If anyone came in, he'd look like he was rereading the notes he'd made on last week's Ethics assignment as drum-intensive music from Endor played in the background.

The door was open.

Images of reavers and Alliance ships appeared in River's mind, and although the dangers where Anakin came from probably took a different shape, she understood. "Still like the music," she said.

"It's still home," he said softly, then gave River an image of the Ewoks dancing in their tree houses with a tiny blond Padawan.

Closing her eyes for a moment, River laughed softly, wishing she could have been there. Then she opened her eyes. "You got to meet my brother," she said.

"I did," Anakin said, nodding. "He's a good man."

River just smiled in reply. He was, and she was happy that they had met. "Shouldn't keep you busy," she said, slipping out of the chair, then added with a giggle: "Unless you want to dance with me?"

[And bedtime for me now, woe!]

Anakin waved his hand and the door closed securely. "I would love to dance with you," he said, smiling.

Now that no one could see him, of course.

That made River laugh. She could guess the reason for closing the door of course, but she didn't mind, and extended her hands towards Anakin. "Think this music is good for fast spinning."

"I agree," Anakin said, smiling and twirling her out.

She twirled, her feet moving quickly, still laughing. There were images of dancing teddy bears and tree houses in her mind.

Anakin grinned, finding her enthusiasm infectious.

When she finally stopped, she looked pleased with herself. "Hope that cheered up your day as well," she said, heading for the door. She just couldn't keep those bears out of her head.
