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.

Anakin hissed in a breath. "I can see that," he said. "People tend to lash out when they don't feel that they control what's happening to them."

Lana nodded. "Something about the change always seemed to turn them to the bad. It was as if suddenly having superpowers made them feel as if they were entitled to all the things they'd never had no matter who they had to hurt to get them."

Anakin rolled his eyes. "Oh. Those. Lots of big speeches about showing everyone?"

She nodded. "That and kidnapping people and killing anyone who got in their way."

"Bah," Anakin said. "It's like they read the big book of villain clichés."

She grinned. "It is, isn't it."

"Though I must admit, it's a lot more amusing from a distance."

"Definitely. Just because they're kind of pathetic with a few years' perspective doesn't make the experience less scary at the time."

"Yes," Lana said with a smile. "Much more fun when you're not in the hospital every other week."

"Sounds like my son. I think he's been almost eaten on every planet he's ever visited."

She smiled. "Well, I've been in worse company."

He grinned back, pride in his son completely obvious. "He's a good kid."

"He is," Lana said with a smile. "I rather like him myself."

"That's always nice to hear," Anakin said.

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."

[sith_happened]

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

"It will be our secret," Lana said with a smile.
