Library (12/14/05)

After Classics--and a quick trip to visit Daniel--Janet opened up the library, dropped her backpack in a corner, and started finding excuses not to work.

"Very agreed," Rory nodded. "We have coffee too. But it might just be special library wench coffee. In fact, that might be a special library wench cookie. But since I like you, you can have special library wench refreshment privileges."

Anakin took a bite of the cookie. "That doesn't mean I have to answer to the name 'library wench', does it?" He smiled slowly. "Because other then the whole gremlin biting incident that I never, ever want to repeat, I don't think I look much like a wench." He looked anxiously at Rory. "Do I?"

"Nope," Rory grinned. "I mean, for one thing? I don't know a single wench who could pull off one of these." She reached over and gently tugged once on his braid.

Anakin gave her a wide-eyed look of surprise. "No one ever touches the braid," he said softly. "I don't mind or anything, though."

"Oh!" Rory said, retracting her hand immediately and turning a deep, deep red. "Um. Sorry. You can, um...touch my hair, or something. It's not the same, but, um...." She eyed the desk. "I should crawl under this. Better than digging a hole, anyway."

Anakin caught her hand before she moved it too far. "Really. It's okay." He gave her a slow smile. "It's not like touching a Padawan braid makes us married or anything. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Rory's blush deepened. "Well, that's good. I'm only seventeen. I don't need to make it a Gilmore tradition to commit to huge things in my teens," she babbled. "I, um, just didn't realize it's off-limits. Will keep my hands to myself now."

"Don't worry about it," Anakin said, his hand still holding hers. "Really. It's not that it's off-limits. It's just no one's ever thought it was interesting enough to touch."

Rory smiled, her blush fading a little. She didn't move her hand from Anakin's grip. "Oh. Well, I'll keep that in mind. As long as I'm not violating some ancient Jedi rule about touching the braid."

"No ancient Jedi rule," he assured her. "Although there is one on the books that bans pimp hats." He shrugged. "I didn't ask why."

"Because pimp hats are tacky, and Jedi have good taste," Rory said with a somber nod.

"That might be it," Anakin said, nodding. "But then you think they'd've banned droid spoken word albums. Those are a greater affront than the worst hat I've ever seen."

He finally let go of her hand. "I should probably go. Have to get some Christmas shopping done today."
