Anakin blinked a little at hearing that Jonathan was evil, too, but didn't think now would be quite the moment to ask for more information.

He watched Rory yawn and stifled one of his own. "I should probably be going," he said quietly, looking at Rory. "Unless you'd rather I not, of course."

His cheeks went faintly pink saying that in front of Parker, but he wanted to make sure Rory would be all right.

As a concerned friend.

Parker smirked, cocked and eyebrow, and folded her arms.

She looked at Anakin.

She looked at Rory.

And she said nothing.

Rory cleared her throat. "I, um...I'll be okay on my own. Thanks," she said quietly, meeting Anakin's eyes. "And if I need anything...well, you'd probably sense it before I could get to my phone, huh?"

She blushed, very aware of Parker's presence. She also was deeply not looking forward to the inevitable, unrelenting teasing she'd be getting.

"Something like that," he replied, very careful not to touch her. He gave her a small smile. "Sweet dreams."

He headed for the door. "Night, Parker," he said, completely unaware of the fate he was leaving Rory to.

"Niiiiight," Parker sang out. She grinned at Rory. 'Tomorrow, we talk,' she mouthed at her friend, before turning back to her own room.

Rory crawled into bed and pulled the covers over her head.

Maybe she'd just stay there tomorrow.

Not that there was any reason to be nervous. Or dying of embarrassment. Not at all. Anakin was just a friend.

Yup. Just a friend.
