Ethics [Thursday, December 9, 2nd period]

Anakin had sent out an email with a similar message, but he'd stuck one on the door to his office just to keep his bases covered:

STAY INSIDE. If I see you behaving in a counterproductive way while out on my patrols, I will fail you.

--AS

He was in the classroom anyway, of course, because it wasn't like he had anywhere else to be for the hour.

"And as a kidnapping attempt, it has a lot of flair, but not a great deal of logic," Anakin said. "Why would you stay in one place afterward?"

"Someone who uses goblins as henchmen and lives in a giant maze clearly isn't a logical thinker," Leia sighed.

"True, but it's good to remember," Anakin said. "When we move to get our people back, we probably won't be greeted by a normal attack."

"I want to be part of that," Leia said. "Getting them back, I mean. I don't want to just sit here and wait."

"Have you found a door in yet?" Anakin asked.

[likes_scoundrels]

"Not yet," Leia said. "And I'm not planning on going in alone." She was anxious to do something, but not be stupid about it.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said. "Because if you go in alone, please refer to the note on the door."

"You're not my teacher this semester," Leia smirked. "You can't fail me."

"I can ground you," Anakin retorted.

Lots of luck enforcing that, Anakin.

"The Alderaan palace guard couldn't keep me in my room back home," Leia snorted. "How are you going to keep me in a dorm room here? Especially when you live off island?"

"Extensive use of bribery," claimed the ethics teacher.

"Not very ethical," Leia pointed out. "Besides, they'll just take your money and then tell you whatever I want."

"I think they're more afraid of me than they are charmed by you," Anakin replied.

[likes_scoundrels]

"Are you so sure about that?" Leia challenged. "You're not the terror you think you are."

[sith_happened]

Oh, would she be taking that back in a little bit.

"Maybe I just haven't been pushed in a while," he said.

And wouldn't that be a fun day?

"If I was the gambling type I might be tempted to make a wager," Leia mused.

[sith_happened]

"I'd feel bad about taking your credits," Anakin replied smugly.

[likes_scoundrels]

"I won't feel bad at all about taking yours," Leia grinned.

Anakin reached out to bop her gently on the nose. "After this is over then. Maybe."

[likes_scoundrels]

"All right," Leia said. "Because I know you know it's pointless to try to confine me to my room right now anyway."

[sith_happened]

"Too much Skywalker in you for that to work," he agreed.

[likes_scoundrels]

"You're a wiser man than most," Leia beamed.

[sith_happened]

"And better looking," Anakin added.
