Diplomacy, Monday, August 29, 2022

[sith_happened]

It had taken Anakin a little bit of time to move the two-story tall steamer chest labeled "SITH" from in front of his door this morning, but it had made a satisfying splash when he'd thrown it into the ocean using the Force.

He swept into his class, robe flapping dramatically around his ankles, and turned to face his students. "Welcome to Diplomacy," he said, ignoring bags as they fell to the ground and him and them. "I was going to start with making sure everyone's on the same page regarding definitions but we have a rather more practical exercise to deal with."

He tucked the small, smoking, bag labeled "Mustafar" behind his robe. "Clearly today is full of information that most people are not, in general, comfortable sharing with strangers. So give me your name, your age, and two ways you have made this incredibly awkward day less so in a diplomatic way."

Yeah, a foot locker just crashing down on them was enough to make Libby want to steer far away from the discussion, too, her eyes gone wide at it before sending a fleeting glance toward Mr. Skywalker as if to really reiterate her point about hard hats for next time.

"I'd almost forgotten about that," she said with a light smile. It had been a very eventful summer! "Does your brother have wings, too, then?"

"Well, yeah," Gray said. "We're the same species...which is something that we should talk about," he realized, "but, uh, some other day. And probably not in Mr. Skywalker's class. But yes, Ray has wings."

Libby's head tilted, brow slightly furrowed, worried more than anything else, but she nodded. "Some other day," she agreed, and then smiled, softly. "And that does sound like it will be much safer with Ray there, too. I definitely prefer just working at the clinic, instead of potentially having to be a patient there."

"I could heal you!" Gray protested. "If it wasn't...very bad...uh, yeah, definitely better to just not drop you in the first place."
