Ethics [Monday, March 11, 5th period]

Anakin was leaning against the desk as the Ethics class walked in. A crumpled version the syllabus was in his hand.

"I hope you all stayed dry this weekend and kept your fish throwing to a minimum," he said. "The syllabus says that we're supposed to begin a discussion of the seven deadly sins today, but I want to get to know you a little bit first."

He was supposed to be a new instructor, after all.

"What manner of action do you find unforgivable?" he asked, his voice and manner completely unreadable. "Treason against your country or homeworld? Stealing from the defenseless? Slavery? Murder? Let's not worry about extenuating circumstances for the moment. If I were to tell you I killed children, most of you would recoil, correct? Where do you draw that line in your head? How far does someone have to go before you say 'that's wrong and there's no getting past it'?"

He avoided John's eyes as he paced around the room, finally pointing at a student. "Go ahead."

"Are we ignoring context, then?"

Katara was surprisingly uncomfortable with the question given that she had spent the past week in the company of someone she used to point to as the epitome of unforgivable.

"Attacking people who can't fight back," she said in a small voice.

Turtle just might be taking careful notes on where everyone line is. For future reference.

Katara had heard about Anakin from Molly so she was much less tentative approaching him after class than she would have been approaching Darth Vader a few weeks before. "Excuse me?"

John winced but gave his answer nonetheless. "When innocents will be harmed if you don't stop."

Turtle gave her answer a lot of very careful consideration before she answered. "I'd say...that the line is drawn between people who are aware and people that aren't. Killing children is so detestable because they're innocent; usually, they haven't consciously entered into a situation where they know they could be taken advantage of, so taking advantage of them would be wrong. So, yeah. That."

"I don't know if you can just ignore the context," Dean said.

"My personal line is probably at hurting or killing innocent people," Sam said. "As opposed to those who aren't innocent, I mean."

She nodded, pulling her braid over her shoulder. "I wanted to apologise for missing class last week."
