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!

If Jaina was at all affected by this, it'd be impossible for her or anyone else to tell, really. And as she was still on her way back to Coruscant, she hadn't had a chance to blurt everything out to anyone, so.

Obi-wan hasn't killed you, right?

[sith_happened]

Right! I bribed him with tea.

[solo_sword]

That actually works?

[sith_happened]

Think he was humoring me, Anakin sent back. How are you?

[solo_sword]

Everything is stupid. Luke's dumb, I'm dumb, and the Sith suck.

The thing about being bluntly honest almost all the time meant it wasn't till she sent that that she tried to cover with,

How are you?

[sith_happened]

Lonely, guilty, and screwing up every time I lead a class, Anakin replied. Kuso, I hate this day when it shows up.

[solo_sword]

What day?

Seriously, she had not noticed a difference. Oh, Jaina.

[sith_happened]

Where we say the truth even if we don't want to, Anakin sent.

[solo_sword]

Sithspit. That's gotta suck for those of you who have a filter.

[sith_happened]

I don't normally have much of one but...Obi-Wan.

[solo_sword]

Could always just have it out with him. Get everything in the open.

[sith_happened]

NO. NOOOPE. TERRIBLE BAD IDEA. He'll hate me forever.

[solo_sword]

Mom and Uncle Luke forgave you for stuff!

[sith_happened]

They didn't exactly live through the spiral down.

[solo_sword]

I lived through Jacen's, and I forgave him.

[sith_happened]

You should talk to Obi-Wan. You have that particular heartbreak in common.
