Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

The dull pounding ache in Anakin's head had bloomed into a full-on piercing nightmare of a headache sometime around 3 am, when all truly rotten things happen.

And Jedi don't get fevers.

Which was why Anakin was sitting cross-legged in the center of his office, delving deeply into the Force to get both symptoms to go away. It wasn't working nearly as well as it should have, and the amount of energy he was using was practically a beacon to the other Jedi on the island.

The door was cracked open.

Anakin gave him a look. "You're going to have to get a bit more specific."

This was doing nothing to make the headache go away.

"Twice. In two weeks," Seely said. "Do you get your kicks traumatising students or something?"

"It gives my life joy and meaning," Anakin deadpanned, then rolled his eyes. "I teach ethics, Mister Booth. If I don't touch on sensitive subjects, the students won't learn anything." He raised his eyebrow. "And you're neither in the class nor on the school board, so I don't see how your opinion on my methods might matter."

"My opinion matters when you leave Aravis convinced she's a terrible person who's going to die alone and unloved."

"And so I'm supposed to be convinced to change my ways by your impassioned speech, right?" Anakin said. "Discover what a horrible, miserable man I am, change my ways, and give out flowers and hugs?"

He snorted. "Grow up."

"Actually I was hoping to appeal to your sense of basic decency, but if that fails I'm fully prepared to start breaking bones."

Anakin burst out laughing. "I don't have time for this today," he said, pointing towards the door. "Come back when you're not delusional."

Re: Morning

"I'm not delusional."

"People who think they can hit me generally are," Anakin said, a flat statement of fact. "You've postured sufficiently. Go away."

Re: Morning

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"I'm not posturing either."

Re: Morning

[sith_happened]

"Well you're not hitting me, you're not changing my mind, and you're not getting anything like an apology, so right now you're just taking up space in my office."

Anakin glared up at him. "So that leaves posturing."

Re: Morning

"What makes you so sure I'm not going to hit you?"

Re: Morning

Anakin closed his eyes, supremely unconcerned. "Because it would really irk you to shoot down the hallway on your rear after I've spanked you like a petulant child, then given you detention for the next month. And before you bluster, yes, I absolutely would. Don't test me, boy. I'm not in the mood."

Re: Morning

"I was never any good at tests."

Re: Morning

"Oh, what a unique and perfect grain of sand you are," Anakin deadpanned. "I am overwhelmed by your witty banter."

His voice turned icy. "Out. Now."

Which would be when Seely went to throw a punch at him.

Re: Morning

"Force but you don't learn," Anakin breathed, holding out his hand and levitating with permission omg Seely a foot of the floor before using a solid wall of air to whap him soundly on the backside and toss him into the hallway.

The door to Anakin's office shut and locked behind him.

Seely glared at Anakin's door for a moment rubbing his bruised dignity, before turning and stomping off down the hallway.
