Ethics [Thursday, November 29, 1st period]
Anakin stalked into the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Today we talk about wrath," he said. Ignore the pointed look he gave John Sheppard. Really.
"There's something very human about giving in to our temper," he said. "It's freeing, uncomplicated."
He paused. "At least at that moment. The repercussions are always waiting."
He waved a hand and the holoprojector flipped to life. Frozen in time was a young Jedi with two lightsabers at the neck of an older, clearly defeated enemy.
"This was me," he said, pointing at the young man. "And that older man was evil and threatened my family. It didn't make the choice I made--to kill him while he knelt there--any less wrong."
He looked around the classroom making eye contact with every student before continuing. "Wrath is very, very tempting. It urges you to listen to that dark little voice inside of you--to cut loose, live without consequences."
He pointed at the holo again. "There are always consequences. This moment has stayed with me, made me the person I am. It wasn't a positive influence."
Anakin stopped pacing. "What would it take for you to get to that hazy edge? And more importantly, how do you stop yourself from giving in?"

If Anakin could pick up on any of the various layers of that sentence, he would probably want to smack Victor. It's not worth the paragraphs of narrative it would take to describe, but the basic point is that Victor is a jackass.
Re: Answer the questions
"See that it doesn't," he growled just low enough for Victor to hear before stalking off.

Oh, he would pay in time. He would pay for that attack. But still. A little bit of respect.
