Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was sitting crosslegged on the small carpet in his office, breathing in and out.

He'd say he was meditating.

He was actually checking to see if he could see how Jaina was doing back home.

Sneaky Anakin.

The door was cracked open.

She smiled at him. "I'm glad I stopped by," she said. "I feel much better."

"Contrary to popular opinion, that is what I'm here for," he replied.

"I guess I'm not really used to that," she admitted. "You, um... can be really intimidating."

"I half think we need Jedis at home," Romeo admitted. "Even the justice is hardly dispassionate."

He waved it off. "Anyhow, so now you've my life story, and I suppose I should let you get back to more pleasant work, unless there's more for class."

"When I know your history, it puts your comments in class into context," Anakin said quietly. "I've made terrible mistakes. If I get you to think even a second longer before you make a choice you can't take back, I've done my job."

"I know," Anakin said with a small smile. "Don't tell anyone I'm not so terrible when you get to know me."

"I hope I have learned to take that second," Romeo said. "Though I have not yet been in a situation that would test me on that."

"I do like that your class makes me think about all of this, though. It hurts, sometimes, but ... perhaps it should, if it helps me keep my terrible mistakes in the past."

"I know that I never learned anything that truly mattered if it came too easily," Anakin replied.

"That does seem to be the rub of it all," Romeo nodded. "Perhaps my head is just too hard to absorb knowledge presented softly."

Anakin smiled. "Exactly. Especially when it's something you don't particularly wish to learn."

"Especially then," Romeo nodded, pushing back the hair that had fallen into his face.

Slowly, he rose from his seat. "I should go, but thank you for your time, and for the class."
