Ethics [Tuesday, March 10, 2nd period]

"Love is patient, love is kind," Anakin 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 my version of the Jedi Order, we were taught that in order to maintain the proper distance necessary to negotiate impartially across our galaxy, we were to strive for serenity, not passion. To be Jedi, we should not know anger, or hatred...or love. When we were very small children, we were raised in the Temple so that family loyalty or planetary allegiance would not get in the way of following the will of the Force."

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

"I think whoever made up that rule wasn't hugged enough growing up," Brooke said. "I mean, seriously? Did they skip the teen years altogether?"

"We weren't hugged at all growing up," Anakin replied.

"...See, that's just wrong." Brooke had gone without her share of hugs, too, but that's why she had friends.

"We're not really huggy people," Anakin said. "Unless we're dangling off cliffs or elevator shafts or something."

He'd once gotten a rock as a gift. Jedi were odd.

"And that's even more messed up. I mean, I get in a little fender bender and you better expect me to be finding someone to share hugs and ice cream with, who maybe can bang out bents. You kind of need that."

"It was normally someone's fault we were dangling off a cliff. You don't get a hug for that."

Generally Ahsoka's. Not that he was naming names.

...much.

"But you dangled off a cliff."

"Couple of times, yeah," Anakin said, nodding.

"Then you should get hugs after dangling off cliffs." She was really convinced of this.

"I'll remember that the next time I hang from one," Anakin promised.
