Ethics, December 11, 2020

"Well, barring horrifying things happening next week--" because in Fandom, you never knew, "--you will have your Ethics exam on Friday. As I said in the beginning, I'm only interested in your thought processes regarding the questions I ask you, not if it's the answer I myself would give."

He leaned back against his desk and it didn't spew candy canes or anything, which was a little strange this far into December, but Anakin ignored it. "Since you cannot really study for the exam, I thought we'd discuss a bit of what we'd seen on our school field trip on Wednesday. We helped out at a food bank, then shopped for children who weren't going to get gifts in this season of giving. Do you have a similar holiday in your own galaxies, and if so, is charitable giving a part of it? Why or why not?"

Anakin gave her a smile. "You don't get days off at home?"

"Not growing up." And boy did it show with her general inability to relax. "And no one's really told me if there's a reason for most of the parties I've been to since."

"Around here, there may not have been," Anakin said. "Would you like there to be more meaning behind celebrations or does that just add to your confusion?"

"It's more stressful." More meaning meant more ways to mess up. "It doesn't exactly help when everyone else knows what's going on and you're left guessing."

Anakin nodded. "I understand completely," he said. "So ask away. What do you want to know about this holiday?"

Adora shrugged helplessly, even though on some level it was kind of a relief to admit how much she didn't know about something without worrying too much about how someone was going to react. "Everything?"

"Well, making it very tricky, there are at least five holidays happening at the same time," Anakin said, ticking them off on his fingers. "Diwali, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Yule, and Christmas. They are mostly celebrating the defeat of light over darkness, which is symbolically important at this time of year because it's so dark in this part of the planet."
