Ethics [Tuesday, October 28, 2nd period]

"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?"

Anakin stared. "Pardon?"

"My point," he clarified. "I passed out."

It seemed funnier now than it had before the weekend. Maybe he had to talk that out of his system.

"Oh," Anakin said. "Yes, that's a pretty good indicator. Sometime before unconsciousness is a good point to stop."

"I'll try to keep it in mind," Ender replied, his words only a little dry around the edges.

Anakin flashed him a grin. "It's why I get paid so much, so I can offer that kind of useful advice."

"You should think about asking for a raise," he said, "You could give out more."

"I could warn you about waiting after you eat to swim," he teased, "or making sure you tie your shoes."

"I'm still working on that last one," Ender replied, utterly serious.
