Ethics [Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was in the classroom early today with a clingy, fussy Juliet. Despite his best efforts, he kept looking out the window at the swirling blackness that was far too close.

When the students arrived, he was blunt: "There's very little point to pretending that you're going to be able to concentrate on anything remotely course-related today. I was a student here myself and know how stress relief around here goes: the library's open, and so is the gym, the salle, and the gun range. Don't do anything stupid. If you're not sure what you're planning is stupid, ask yourself if it's something I'd do."

And if it was, it was probably kind of stupid.

"And then don't do it. You can stay here as long as you'd like, talk to me or each other, or just be quiet. I know I'd rather not be alone right now myself."

Not that he could be with a two-year old attached to his knees.

"When we fix this, we'll see about flying," Jaina told her.

Juliet seemed to mull that over. "Fix," she repeated. "Tape? Batteries?"

Those fixed most things!

While those weren't actually going to work- probably- but amazingly the toddler was the one to come up with the first try at a solution that Jaina had heard. Go, Juliet!

"Could reinforce the forcefield with duct tape," Jaina said, shrugging. And totally not serious because getting too close to those was generally bad.

Juliet nodded solemnly before yanking on Anakin's robe. "Daddy. Get tape!"

"If tape actually works, we're all going to feel pretty stupid," he commented.

"Something tells me we won't have that problem," she said. "So if you're up for it, you can track down enough duct tape to cover the entire island, and I'm gonna head to the gym. Maybe people will actually show."

"Batteries too!" Juliet reminded them and Anakin couldn't help but chuckle. "I might stop by later," he said.

"Then I might see you there," Jaina said, even smiling a little before waving to Juliet and turning towards the door.
