Office hours [all day]

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.

Space flight was one of those things John had gotten a taste of at Fandom that he knew he'd never have in his life back home. He was a little jealous he'd never know that cold.

"You just need good boots and socks," he replied, pushing aside his thoughts. "Once your feet are warm, the snow is nothing."

Anakin gestured down at his boots. "These will do," he said a little firmly. "And Jedi can ignore temperature. It just takes some getting used to."

"What else can you ignore?" Because people didn't seem to be included as far as he could tell.

"Most pains," Anakin said with a pointed look. "Gravity..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"How do you ignore gravity? Do you levitate?" This was not something he'd heard about or seen before.

"Only in the Extended Universe Not often," Anakin grudgingly admitted, "but I can drop off of buildings and not kill myself. It drove Obi-Wan crazy."

John decided never to give Anakin a reason to chase him. "Because he couldn't do the same or just didn't approve?"

[sith_happened]

"Oh, he could do it too," Anakin said with a grin. "I watched him leap out of a window after an assassin droid without even pausing for breath, but I really enjoyed it. It's like flying without the ship."

"And here I thought the ship was the best part," John said with a smile.

[sith_happened]

"Oh, it is," Anakin said, smiling back, "but freefall is kind of great all on its own."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," John grinned. "Like base jumping without the 'chute!"

[sith_happened]

"Only do it with a Jedi," Anakin recommended. "Forgetting to pull the chute cord is just too dumb to be believed."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That's not a bad idea," John said, thinking he and Jaina hadn't had an outdoors date in a while.

"Even that Jedi, yes," Anakin grumbled.
