Ethics [Thursday, November 8, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was quieter than usual, trying to shake off the feeling of foreboding he'd woken up with. He hoped it had nothing to do with the bachelor party he'd be attending later in the day.

His weekend plans weren't far from his mind, though, as the day's lesson made clear. "Love is patient, love is kind," he began, then made the universal symbol for "blah, blah, blah" with his hand.

He might secretly be a soft touch on the subject, but no one in this room would ever know it.

"In the Jedi Order, we were taught that in order to maintain proper distance, to negotiate impartially across our galaxy, we were to strive for serenity, not passion. To be proper Jedi, we shall not know anger, or hatred, or love."

He crossed his arms over his chest and glanced around the room, eyes resting on Qui-Gon and Jaina for longer moments. "Is this an unreasonable standard to hold someone to?"

Explains a lot about him, huh?

As he listened, John got the distinct impression this discussion was going to be a lot like that one they had about fear. This could only end badly for him.

Ino listened disbelievingly. She could see where serenity would be useful but, geez, passion was important!

River listened, processing the ideas Anakin argued for. She looked a little suspicious.

Jaina was having her own bad feeling that she'd been trying to pinpoint rather than shake off. Not that she was succeeding at doing either thing.

Of course, once she heard today's lesson, she wondered if it just wasn't that class might go that badly.

Wow, being a Jedi SUCKED. Mind-reading and laser swords were cool, but if you had to be a MONK to get them? No WAY.

Sokka felt sorry for Luke, and even a little bit for Professor Always-Wrong up there.

Victor didn't bother taking notes. On what? What a foolish order of violent monks thought? Idiots.
