Ethics [Thursday, November 9, 6th period]

[sith_happened]

Vader swept into the room and slammed the door behind him as usual.

"Immortality," he intoned, pacing in front of the class, mental walls incredibly strong. On this topic most of all, he had no interest in students poking around in his head. "Many beings have made life-altering choices in order to avoid dying, or to try to avoid someone they love dying. They've broken under torture, they've made pacts with powerful beings, they've sold their souls like a commodity. They've cloned themselves, murdered thousands, created machines to stop the passage of time."

Vader's cape billowed out around him as he turned. "Today's discussion is not about why all sentient and mortal beings seem to fear death. Today, you shall discuss what you would be prepared to give up if it would guarantee that you would live forever."

Jack watched Isabel from the other side of the classroom.

He had to supress a snort of laughter when he realised his first impulse was still to make sure she was okay.

Eventually Isabel lifted her head up and looked around the room, searching for anything that would work as a distraction. She visibly flinched when she saw Jack.

He felt the flinch, deep in his gut, but didn't let himself react beyond flattening his hands on the desk and raising an eyebrow at her.

She swallowed hard and turned away. It wasn't like Jack had any special reason to get an answer.

Once she turned away, Jack sighed and slumped down in his chair, tracing patterns on his desk.
