"While much of a diplomat's life depends on their way with words, it's a simple fact that the words we are saying might not be what the other side of the negotiating table wants to hear," Anakin said, "and their reaction might get very ugly and dangerous." He gestured around the Danger Shop, which had been set up with a series of obstacles.

"Therefore, all diplomats must be able to have at least rudimentary knowledge in self-defense," he continued. "Today we'll practice racing through a crowded market place to evade a tail, driving a vehicle out of a roadblock ambush, and firing a weapon."

Ahh, yes. The inevitable 'try to slip away unnoticed in a crowded street' scenario, which was always a little bit of a difficult one for Sidon considering he was easily at least a foot taller than everyone else around him. And also mostly red.

So his first thought was to pursue a channel of escaping that suited him rather well the last time he was faced with such a delemma in a class, and that was, while taking as many twists and turns in hopes to shake the person pursuing him, looking down, for any sign of a sort of manhole or other opening to a sewer that this particular city might have.

It was a messy and unpleasant business, sure, but it had so far proven effective for him in these situations.
