Office hours [all day]

Jan 08, 2009 00:31

Anakin was back in his office (the holiday decorations were gone, thank you very much), tinkering with an overly complicated baby monitor.

For a baby who wouldn't be born for months. Anakin was getting neurotic early.

The door was open.

Ben had been dreading this meeting all week, but he'd promised his father.

So there he was, knocking on the door jamb.

"Granddad?"

Anakin glanced up and froze. "Who did that to you?!"

Ben took a step back. Wow. He thought his dad could look scary.

Now he know where it came from.

"No one here," he said quickly. "Don't bring the building down on top of us or anything."

Anakin took a deep breath and counted to ten.

Then again.

And he was still gripping his desk hard enough to make the wood creak.

"Who was it, and how many pieces are they in now?"

Ben blew out a breath and stepped into the office. "It's a long story," he said softly, "and you're not going to like most of it."

"Not if it made you look like you got rancor-stomped, no," Anakin agreed, waving the door closed and pointing towards the chair in front of his desk. "Sit down before you fall down."

"I'm not that bad," Ben grumbled as he sat. "I don't know where to start," he admitted.

Re: NFB tiem! sith_happened January 8 2009, 17:50:51 UTC

"Start with why you were going around talking with all of the teachers before the end of term," Anakin replied.

Re: NFB tiem! momslilassassin January 8 2009, 18:12:48 UTC

"I looking for ideas on how to fake someone's death," Ben said. There was no point in lying about it.

Re: NFB tiem! sith_happened January 8 2009, 18:20:04 UTC

Anakin's eyebrows shot up. "Why?"

Re: NFB tiem! momslilassassin January 8 2009, 18:29:03 UTC

"I wanted to get near Jacen again," Ben said, eyes going flat. "He told me that Cal Omas was responsible for my mom's death. Figured if it looked like I'd killed him, Jacen'd think I bought it."

Re: NFB tiem! sith_happened January 8 2009, 18:39:03 UTC

Anakin nodded. "What happened when you got home?"

Re: NFB tiem! momslilassassin January 8 2009, 18:47:50 UTC

"I broke into Omas's apartment with a couple of the ingredients the teachers here had recommended," Ben said, then shook his head. "But it didn't work. He was death trapped, and I hadn't been sneaky enough when I broke in. The guards came..."

Re: NFB tiem! sith_happened January 8 2009, 18:54:54 UTC

"And hurt you?" Anakin guessed softly.

Re: NFB tiem! momslilassassin January 8 2009, 19:04:25 UTC

Ben shook his head. "No, that happened later. Omas said Jacen would never buy a faked death, then threw himself onto my lightsaber."

And Ben was not nearly as okay with that as his voice made him sound.

Re: NFB tiem! sith_happened January 8 2009, 19:09:53 UTC

Anakin hissed in a breath. "Ben..."
