Ethics, Tuesday, April 14, 2015

"Last weekend saw you with an influx of potential children from your futures," Obi-Wan said. "I am led to believe this is not an unusual occurrence..."

Anakin shook his head. "It happens annually, or near enough. Some of those children are more likely than others. Some are practically impossible."

Sorry, Tebb.

"Whereas others might be almost unavoidable," Obi-Wan said wryly. He had had none, which suited him fine. Minding Anakin's children from a distance was enough for him. "Normally, prophecy does not take such... practical forms. But regardless of what form they take, notions of what the future might be are often vague, and easy to misinterpret. It is such ideas about the future we would like to speak of today."

"Precisely," Anakin said. "And prophecies are notoriously unhelpful and stupid about such things."

Not that he was suuuuper bitter or anything.

Obi-Wan began to pace around the room. "So now that you have met these children and seen these futures, my question is: would you work towards them? Work away from them? Do you believe it is even possible to do such a thing? And if you had no children, do you believe that says anything about your future?"

"So you would view a child as a disruption, and not an addition or a simple part of your life?" Obi-Wan asked. "Some feel they enrich life and pave a path to the future."

Said the guy who was perfectly happy being crazy uncle to somebody else's kids instead.

"They're also a money suck and just something I don't want to deal with," he retorted, shrugging. "Everyone else can go pop out kids. I'll keep on my own."

"And your experiences this weekend?" Obi-Wan asked.

"We're fine. I still don't want a kid." Adele had been hyper and amusing but he was glad to be able to give her back.

Obi-Wan gave him a curt nod, then moved on to the next student.
