Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

A week away without the baby? Anakin had loved it, even if he had begun feeling vaguely guilty about leaving her by Thursday.

Which was why he was now updating the photos in his office (which would also be helpful for when alumni stopped by during the weekend, he thought) and humming "Sweet Caroline" under his breath.

Rory swore that Juliet loved the song. Anakin rather suspected it had something more to do with the guy with the hair and the guitar from Squee singing it.

Either way, the door was open.

Anakin smiled. "I was thinking your father, yes."

Because Anakin was exactly the kind of person who would walk up to him with a lightsaber and fully expect to hold his own.

"Aside from dreams, I have only seen him once," Raven said gravely. "He is over a hundred feet tall and has red skin and two sets of eyes, one above the other. He also has golden antlers upon his brow. I do not know all his powers, but he can travel between dimensions, though I think that unlike myself he may be restricted to using gateways of some sort. He can accelerate time and cause a person to age unnaturally, and he has destroyed whole worlds with blasts of energy that come from his eyes."

And Anakin would still square off against the guy. Not the brightest crayon in the box, Anakin.

"That is fairly easy to spot," he agreed. "I don't suppose he's ticklish?"

For a split second Raven might've wondered if Anakin had abruptly lost his mind. Humor was still a difficult concept to grasp. "I...have never had the opportunity to learn," she said. "And if my mother knows, she never shared that information with me."

Anakin smiled. "I was trying to be funny," he said. Which was why he didn't do it often: he wasn't good at it. "He sounds formidable--I was hoping for some easy way to defeat him."

"I do as well," Raven said. "I can at least take some comfort in one of the futures Karla saw for me, that with the aid of friends I would be able to resist and defeat Trigon. I do not know how easily that future will come, but it is the one I wish to live."

"Then that's the one we'll aim at," Anakin said, turning more serious.
