Library [11/09]

Rory bustled sleepily into the library with her laptop, coffee, and a special and very sleepy visitor in her bag.

She was hoping no one would really notice that last one.

"He's taking my father's place!" Luke said, his voice coming out a lot louder than he'd meant.

He hadn't meant for that sentence to come out at all, really.

He bit his lip hard. "So yeah, it's a lot to ask," he whispered.

"Luke, you are in a library," she said softly without lifting her head. "If you can't remember that, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"Secondly," she said, lifting her head and scrubbing her thumb under either eye, "and I want you to listen to me, Luke Skywalker. No one will ever, ever replace your father. Do you understand me?"

Luke nodded but didn't meet her eyes. "I understand," he whispered.

Rory reached for his hand. "Luke. I love Anakin. I won't stop just because I'm dating someone else. He moved on. Can't I? Please?"

If Rory sounded like she was on the brink of tears of frustration, well....

Luke squeezed her hand back, then moved so he could sneak behind the desk to give her a hug.

"I'm sorry," he murmured.

Rory set Vladdie down so he wouldn't get smushed. "It's okay," she told Luke's shoulder. "I'm a little stressy right now."

Luke gave a shaky laugh. "And I'm not making things better."

"Not your fault," she mumbled.

Luke gave her another squeeze and pulled back. "I'll try," he said finally.

It was obvious how difficult it was for him to say that.

"It means everything," she said with a small sigh.

Vladdie made a distinct, 'omg you are ignoring meeeeeeeeeeee!' noise and pawed at Luke's leg.

Luke crouched down, eager for the distraction. "Hello, Vladdie," he cooed. "Why are you so clingy today?"

Vladdie licked his nose.

Luke laughed far harder than necessary. He'd been a little stressed, too.

Vladdie poked his forehead with his paw.

Luke picked Vladdie up and cuddled him. "Yoda doesn't let me do this," he told Rory.

"Yoda doesn't cuddle," she agreed. "He didn't let me, either."

Luke gave Vladdie another hug, then held him out for Rory to take. "I should let you get back to work," he said, eyes still looking a little troubled.

"Didn't you want a book?" she wondered, taking a squirmy Vladdie from him.

"Oh yeah," Luke said, blushing. "Any other suggestions on tactics?"

Rory bit her lip thoughtfully, and said, "I have another one I can recommend, and it's a little cynical and weird, but I guarantee Vader's read it. He's read Sun Tzu, after all."

"What's it called?" Luke asked.

"The Prince," Rory said, setting Vladdie down and moving over into the stacks. "It's by a man named Machiavelli."

Luke's forehead wrinkled in confusion. "But I don't want to be royalty. That's Leia's lookout."

"It's about tactics," Rory said. "Nicolo Machiavelli wrote about what one would do to get what they want - the end result justifies the means of getting there. Sound familiar? Like something our friend in black would say, right?"

"It really does," Luke said, nodding as he pulled the book from the shelf. "What was his topic today, anyway?"
