Ethics [Thursday, March 20}

[sith_happened]

Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets.

Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Shh.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. "Meet your little projects for the next week. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for a week, believe me, I'll know."

He reached for a list of paper. "Some of you I've paired together, some of you are single parents." His smile turned a little evil. "Some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

He was a petty, petty man.

"I'd rather not do it at all," she confessed, still warily watching the baby. "You can keep it, if you want, or we can trade. I don't do so well with children."

"Okay," Adam nodded, totally fine with that. "I can keep it, no need to trade off if you're really not comfortable with this assignment."

Hey, he completely understood. No big deal.

"I'm not comfortable," she said quietly, "and I'm really tempted to kill Master Skywalker, but you shouldn't have to be stuck with it the whole week. If you want, I'll take it with me to work on Tuesday, so that you can have a break."

Adam nodded, surprised that he was comfortable with this assignment. It was most likely because he was used to dealing with younger siblings and cousins a lot. "Okay, that's fine," he managed a small smile. "But I'm okay with taking it for the whole time, too," Adam added.

Really, he was good either way.

"You hear that, baby?" she asked, leaning over the droid. "Daddy's taking you all week, so that Mommy doesn't screw you up or drop you or something."

"Thanks, Adam, seriously." Anemone took a step back and motioned for him to take the droid. "He's all yours."

Adam chuckled slightly, smiling. "Anytime Anemone." He picked up the droid, surprised that he didn't cry on contact. "I'll make sure to take good care of him."

Really, he would.
