Office hours [after classes]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back in his office, alphabetizing his latest list of baby girl names.

He thought "Annika" was a totally subtle suggestion. Of course, Anakin wouldn't know subtle if it held up a sign.

Peter knocked on the door at the usual time. This time he had the coffee.

[sith_happened]

Anakin looked up and smiled. "Good afternoon, Peter."

"My turn for coffee," Peter said, holding up a cup.

[sith_happened]

The smile got wider. "I have trained you well."

Peter sat down across from Anakin. "That'd be the boyfriend before you. Which begins and ends the comparisons between the both of you, for the record."

[sith_happened]

Anakin wrinkled up his nose but took the coffee anyway. "Thank the Force for that," he said. "Sam and I already have enough in common."

"No offense if I say I don't wanna know?" Peter asked.

[sith_happened]

"None at all," Anakin said vehemently, pushing his list off to the side of his desk.

Peter noticed the list but not what was on it. "You have a list comparing yourself to Sam?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin snorted. "Yes," he said dryly. "I have a list enumerating how much better I am than every student here. They're alphabetized."

He smiled. "Baby names," he explained. "My wife and I are having an extended discussion."

"Peter's nice," Peter pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"We're having a little girl," Anakin said, beaming proudly.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Angela?" Peter offered.

While Talyn was asleep and Aeryn had some free time, she picked up the phone. She'd been more than a little lax in that department and it probably needed to be fixed.

Which would be why Anakin's phone was ringing.

[sith_happened]

"Skywalker," he answered.

"Such a cheerful way to answer the phone," Aeryn deadpanned.

[sith_happened]

"Aeryn!" Anakin said, voice suddenly much cheerier. "I've found it stops a lot of telemarketers from staying on the line very long."

"Really? I just hang up," she said. "Much more effective."

[sith_happened]

"There are slow days where I like to mess with them," Anakin confessed. "I don't get to do that much any more."

[can_be_more]

"Have you stopped having slow days or have they just stopped calling?" she wondered.

[sith_happened]

"Little bit of both," Anakin said. "I think I'm on the do not call lists of most of the cell phone people at this point. How are you?"

[can_be_more]

"Same," Aeryn said. "Not much seems to change. Talyn's getting big, though."

[sith_happened]

"I hear they do that," Anakin said, smiling. "Has he learned to shoot yet?"

[can_be_more]

"He has a water pistol he plays with," she said, a little proudly. "The trick is keeping him from trying to eat it, as that tends to scare people on public transportation, I've learned."

[sith_happened]

"People on this planet are far too easily scared," Anakin declared. "So he's good? Speaking many languages? Solving issues of galactic import? Learning the harpsichord?"
