Ethics [Tuesday, October 28, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

"I trust your weekends with your families went as expected," Anakin said, slamming the door behind him as he stalked into the room.

"Love is patient, love is kind," he began, looking down at his notes, then snorted and made the universal symbol for "blah, blah, blah" with his hand.

He might secretly be a soft touch on the subject, but he was hoping no one in the room would call him on 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 should not know anger, or hatred, or love."

The unholy mix of the three could lead to tossing grandsons through doors. Not that Anakin would talk about that either.

He crossed his arms over his chest and glanced around the room. "Is this an unreasonable standard to hold someone to? What do you think they were trying to prevent?"

Take notes, daydream, remember particularly horrifying parts of the past weekend...

Toby could listen to Professor Skywalker talk all day. His hair shone almost as magnificently as Toby's when he talked about romance.

Penelope listened. The subject was all too important to her. But probably for reasons other than what someone might think.

Lee didn't mind this subject too much especially after this weekend. So, he listened and held the brooding off for awhile.

Molly took notes, but she still wasn't sure exactly how not loving or getting angry at people would work.

Peyton took notes. When she wasn't doodling absently.

Ella took notes as she listened, shivering a little inside her sweater. A society without passion sounded clean, but also a little frightening in a way she couldn't define.

The scars on Tahiri's forehead were puckered with the slight but persistent frown she was wearing from this lecture. If she took into account herself, Doran Tainer, Valin Horn, the Solos, and Ben, among a bunch of others, Master Luke's Jedi Order couldn't really say much about not knowing love. And it seemed to be doing pretty well for itself.

. . . mostly.
