Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was going to wear a path across his floor if he kept up his pacing.

And the sun wasn't going to set any faster, no matter how many times he checked out the window.

...why yes, Anakin was taking the news on the radio as a personal insult.

His friendship alpha-male off rivalry thing with Angel had always been...complicated. And his hatred for Angelus had never really gone away. Angelus'd nearly killed Rory, after all. Anakin wasn't the kind to just let that sort of thing go.

You know, ever.

So pacing. He figured it was a step up from lifting every rock on the island to figure out which one Angelus had slithered under.

The door was open.

"Reminding me of that's not going to win you any points either," Anakin remarked.

"Does it help if I don't use her name?" John offered, thinking he was incredibly helpful.

[sith_happened]

"Not even a little bit," Anakin told him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What if I referred to her as Dana?" Because he just didn't know when to say when.

[sith_happened]

"What if I tossed you bodily from my office?" Anakin countered.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Why don't I just go?" he offered, standing up quickly.

[sith_happened]

"My way's funnier?" Anakin tried.

"For you," John said. "But somehow I don't think I'd like it very much."

[sith_happened]

"And this is a problem...why?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because it's almost winter break."

[sith_happened]

"And I'm supposed to be feeling especially charitable or something?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, you won't have to deal with me for at least three weeks, right?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin's face broke into a huge smile. "This is true."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But if you toss me out, I could always stay by your side the whole time," John smirked.

"The hell you will," Anakin retorted. "You're not coming to Connecticut."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"But I already bought my ticket!" he lied.

[sith_happened]

"A hint for free," Anakin said, raising an eyebrow. "Lying to a Jedi is a waste of everyone's time."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't stop it from being the only good response."

[sith_happened]

Like Anakin was going to let a thing like logic get in the way of having a snit.

"Most Jedi smack liars upside the head," he told John.

Only if by "most" you included "named Anakin," sure.

"Huh, you know," John said thoughtfully. "I hear Connecticut gets snow for Christmas. I do love to ski..."

[sith_happened]

"Have a wonderful time," Anakin said dryly. "We won't be joining you."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever been skiing, professor?" he asked. "It's a great sport."

[sith_happened]

"I grew up in the desert," Anakin said flatly. "Why would I seek out snow?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because it's different from sand."

[sith_happened]

Anakin made a face.

Old habits die hard.

"Most thing are."
