Office hours [all day Thursday]

[sith_happened]

True to his word on the radio, Anakin was barricaded in his office with the door shut.

He couldn't, sadly, find any duct tape for his mouth, which meant that anyone walking too near his door was getting a lesson in Huttese curses. Such a full-service educational experience!

Oo, new curses! Bob could always stand to learn new curses.

Plus, he had a couple of things to discuss with the dean.

And since it wasn't like he could knock anyway, Bob was sticking his head through the door. "Hello; have you got a moment?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin let out a startled yelp. "Don't do that without warning!"

[nuclear_snide]

Bob gave him a look. "This is the warning. I could've just strolled right in. I probably would have if I weren't trying to be polite to butter you up."

Well, damn; apparently the island had got to him, too. Bob blinked, then shrugged. It was, after all, true.

"Knocking is considered polite when the door's closed," Anakin said snappishly. "I could have been counseling a student! It's not likely, I don't think most of them like me that much, but it could've happened!"

"I'm not surprised," Bob muttered. He stepped all the way through the door, then reached back and soundlessly knocked his hand through it, giving Anakin a pointed look. "Knock. Knock."

"I don't think I want to talk to you," Anakin said, "but come in anyway. I'm paid to deal with this sort of thing."

[nuclear_snide]

"Someone's got to be. Don't worry; I'm used to it."

He came in and stood by the desk. "I'm wondering when I'm going to be assigned an office. I mean, I suppose I can just keep being nosy in everyone else's, but it'd be nice to have my own some time." He paused. "Also, I'd really love to learn some of those curses."

"I'll talk to the moose tomorrow and get that sorted out," Anakin replied. "The office, not the cursing. Unless you want to learn how to curse like a moose."

[nuclear_snide]

"You can never have too many curse words. I was thinking of a class in it. Oh, and also - one of my students has been leaving his staff at home, because of the anti-weapon policy. Do I need to formally request he be allowed it, or something?"

"Talk to Bo about weapons," Anakin said. "That's not my area."

Anakin's best friend had shot a guy in the ass for being annoying his senior year here and he'd used his own weapon to kill many, many children while, admittedly, evil--he wasn't allowed to decide who got a weapon.

"Is that the Bo with all the leather?" Bob asked gleefully. "I've been wanting to meet her. She sounds sexy. Which you're not. Where's her office?"

[sith_happened]

"She's extremely attractive but my wife would hit me with a coffee mug if I even thought about it," Anakin said, giving directions to Bo's office.

[nuclear_snide]

"I'm not married, and I can't be hit by a coffee mug anyway." Bob turned to head out. "If you figure out a way for me to knock, let me know. I probably won't use it, but I'd love to be able to touch something."
