Flight Club [Tuesday, early evening]
Even after a workout in the gym, Anakin was still in a bit of a Mood.
He didn't slam open the door to the Flight Club shed, but it's a near thing.
He took a deep breath, fired up the sim--still set with up with the Jedi Starfighter programming--and waited for the rest of the club to arrive.
"With the new regulations about off-campus travel, and my trip home this weekend, I didn't have a chance to talk with the Dean about how that might effect our work with actual flying. I'll get to that this week. I apologize for not doing so earlier."
He gestured at the flight sim. "You have been making some pretty great strides towards learning the way that the Starfighter flies. I've increased the difficulty of the programs tonight and included a few more combat runs." He rubbed his hands together. "One's so new I haven't even gotten a chance to try it."
Anakin cleared his throat. "Have fun, blow off a little steam. But as always, break the sim and we'll have to have a bit of a discussion."

"Thanks," he said, giving Anakin an absent smile before crawling into the sim.
The door closed behind him and as soon as he was seated, the sim started. No ice fields, he felt grateful for that. He forced himself to focus on just flying the plane and getting used to the way it responded, ignoring the fact that his hands were unsteady. It didn't take long for the first bandit to come into view and he only narrowly dodged the fire.
"Focus, Mitchell." He whispered to himself. No ice, no Banks. Just you and a sim. As he concentrated on his target, he started to forget about anything else. His nerves being replaced by the adrenaline push and soon it was just him, the plane and the targets.
No crashing. The combat was fairly easy, but it didn't matter. When the sim opened again, he felt that much lighter and he was grinning.
