Office hours [all day]

Sep 18, 2008 10:00

Anakin had a bad feeling about today. He kept putting his hand on the back of his neck to rub at the hair there, certain he was being watched.

He hoped that the feeling had nothing to do with the news he had to share with Jaina, Ben, and Luke. He left oh so handwavy messages for them, then stared at his comlink, trying to figure out exactly how to ( Read more... )

Ben rapped nervously at the door jamb. "You wanted to see me?"

Every line in his body showed how little he wanted to be there.

Anakin smiled. "Hello, Ben," he said quietly. "It's nice to meet you away from the craziness of the first day."

"I guess?" Ben said, fiddling with his sleeves.

He finally glanced up. "Can I ask a question?"

"Of course," he replied.

"Where's your suit?"

And now we're NFB! sith_happened September 18 2008, 17:59:46 UTC

Anakin sighed. "Close the door."

Ben did, then leaned against it. There was no way he was getting closer.

"This is a very long story," Anakin said. "You should probably get comfortable."

Re: And now we're NFB! momslilassassin September 18 2008, 19:50:47 UTC

"I'm fine here," Ben replied, crossing his arms over his chest. "Jaina said that you used to be...you know. The way I heard the story ending is you died on the Death Star and Dad burned your body on Endor. No one ever said anything about 'and then he taught ethics in a different galaxy.'"

Re: And now we're NFB! sith_happened September 18 2008, 19:56:08 UTC

Anakin chuckled. "Yes, I suppose that does sound a little strange. In my reality, Palpatine had made several clones of me to use for..." he glanced over at his grandson, remembered how old he was and modified the story somewhat, "nefarious purposes. I absolutely died on the Death Star. I just...didn't die permanently, I suppose. I ended up in a cloned body, which didn't need a suit."

Re: And now we're NFB! momslilassassin September 18 2008, 19:58:45 UTC

Ben stared at him. "You know that sounds insane, right? So how old are you?"

Re: And now we're NFB! sith_happened September 18 2008, 20:17:19 UTC

"The body is 25," Anakin said. He pointed to his forehead. "In here, I'm 48."

Re: And now we're NFB! momslilassassin September 18 2008, 20:35:04 UTC

"Dad's older than you?" Ben squeaked out.

Re: And now we're NFB! sith_happened September 18 2008, 20:39:37 UTC

Oh, that just wasn't right.

"Is he?" Anakin asked.

Re: And now we're NFB! momslilassassin September 18 2008, 21:20:51 UTC

"He's sixty," Ben said, nodding.

Re: And now we're NFB! sith_happened September 18 2008, 21:24:55 UTC

Anakin's jaw dropped.

"Rory's having a baby," he finally blurted.
