Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was not alone in his office today, though it might be difficult to spot Juliet among the dozens of toys Anakin had showered her with since Sunday.

Not that he was feeling guilty that she'd been kidnapped from right under his nose. Really. At all. Just ask him!

He was already beginning the conga drum he'd bought her, but she seemed so happy

did you lose our baby? and if not, has she gotten over her new turtle fear?

Rory really should have better things to do than text Anakin every few minutes, but the job search wasn't going that well.

[sith_happened]

J's still here he texted back. Playing with new airplane fr Jaina, who says hi.

[auroryborealis]

noisy airplane??? :(

Followed by:

and hi to Jaina. maybe this will stop the x-wing pleas.

[sith_happened]

hope so. she's running around making her own airplane noises. told her batteries died.

Anakin was a big ol' liar to his daughter when it came to how fast batteries died.

how's job search?

[auroryborealis]

meh. few leads, none that promising. also, can't wait until J is old enough to tell lying through the force.

[sith_happened]

not lying! batteries don't work when put in backwards. mwahaha.

Anakin's evil laugh was kind of sad in a text-based medium.

PS: Baby still here.

[auroryborealis]

and still scared of turtles? our next trip to the zoo is going to be nightmare-inducing.

[sith_happened]

still not a fan of turtles, Anakin confirmed. told that to one of my students. then made her read llama book.

[auroryborealis]

poor kid. your student, not the baby. i hate baby llama.

[sith_happened]

such a whiiiiiiiiner, Anakin wrote back without a trace of irony.

[auroryborealis]

mommy llama is on the phone, okay. she maybe doesn't need to deal with your wailing.

[sith_happened]

and where is daddy llama, anyway? mama llama doesn't have to do everything all the time.

[auroryborealis]

first of all, best husband/dad ever. secondly, daddy llama is clearly a deadbeat.

A moment, and then:

maybe mommy llama is on the phone negotiating child support/alimony.

[sith_happened]

ooooh, makes sense. go to sleep baby llama, mama probably worked a double-shift to keep you in milk and toys anyway.

Anakin was perhaps a little overinvested in this backstory.

[auroryborealis]

baby llama is v. ungrateful. the next one should be 'llama llama childhood trauma.'

[sith_happened]

Anakin burst out laughing.

llama, llama, cut the drama?
