Rita? Kind of hungover.

And by "kind of" we mean "incredibly."

"Cameras. On my desk. Now. Tell everyone what you photographed and why."

Yeah, kind of grumpy. Again with the special meaning of "kind of."

"She's not an annoying twit," Anakin said, glaring.

He blinked a few times. "And Crichton was an insect? Interesting choice."

"You don't have to teach her," Rita pointed out. "She's pretentious, too. And yes, insect. I like insects."

"She's not pretentious, either," Anakin snapped. "You're being unnecessarily harsh."

"Am I?" Rita asked, raising an eyebrow. "You're awfully defensive of her."

Anakin's cheeks went a little red. "She's a good friend of mine. I don't like to hear people criticizing her." He looked Rita straight in the eyes. "Especially when she doesn't deserve it."

"If Ms. Gilmore has a problem, she can take it up with me. Since she hasn't, your little knight in shining armor act is well-intentioned but misguided," Rita said firmly.

"I'm not shining," Anakin said, completely missing the reference. "And I'm not a knight yet. I still have years of training to go through."

And I'm not little, he thought very, very hard. But didn't say aloud because he does, very occasionally, think before he says something.

"And next you're going to tell me you're not leaping to Rory's defense because you see her as a damsel in distress," Rita said lazily, flipping a page. "Like I said, if Ms. Gilmore wishes to address any problems she has with me, she's welcomg to. But I fail to see how it's your concern, friend or no."

"Rory's very capable of taking care of herself," Anakin replied. "But it would be irresponsible of me not to say something when someone is making comments about her that I find to be misinformed."

He shrugged a shoulder. "Or at least that's how I've been taught."

"Mr. Skywalker," Rita said, glancing up at him. "I don't change my opinions often. But you have convinced me to change one that I have held to be very firm truth."

Anakin grinned. "Glad to hear it."

"Yes, I no longer think you are a homosexual," she said with a significant look before going back to her reading.

Anakin glared at the back of Rita's head and spent the rest of the period reminding himself that killing someone with his mind was Wrong.
