Anakin walked into his classroom precisely on time and gave the students assembled there an appraising glance-as the door clicked shut behind him. "I'm Master Anakin Skywalker," he said in a voice that was intended to carry. "You may address me either as Master Skywalker or Professor Skywalker. This is Ethics, and we're going to skip the introductions--I'll figure out who you are, if I don't recognize you already--and move straight to our first discussion."

His cloak flared out behind him as he handed out the syllabus. "Today's topic," he said, pointing to the top of the page, "is self sacrifice: knowing the difference between saving people and being a pretentious twit."

Anakin wasn't a great believer in softening his language.

"Any time I ask a a group of people what they would do to save someone they love, they blither on about how they would set the world on fire, lie, cheat, steal, kill, die, et cetera, et cetera. I've been at this school five years now and realize that half of you have probably already been put into this situation. I'm never in a mood to hear adolescent ramblings about how wonderful you were or might hypothetically be."

He leaned back against his desk. "What I want to know is what would make you walk away. When do you decide that the risk isn't worth the cost?"

Cassidy approached Anakin when she thought that he looked like he might have a moment to speak. She was nervous, because she never had done anything like this before, and she wasn't exactly sure she'd be any good at it.

"Pri--Professor Skywalker? Do you have a moment, sir?"

She really needed to quit thinking of him as a Warlord Prince.

"I do," he said. "Is there something I can help you with?"

She gave him a shy but respectful smile. "I have seen in other classes that the teachers ask for assistants to help them in class. Would you be need -- wanting one of those, sir? If so, I would like to volunteer myself for that position."

Cassidy, you probably didn't need to make the question sound so formal.

Anakin smiled. "That would be appreciated. I accept your offer."

She smiled happily, and still tried to be respectful. "Thank you, sir. Just let me know what you need me to do."

She was perhaps a bit excited.

"Mostly it will be handing out paperwork," Anakin said. "The classes are generally participation-based."
