Teamwork, Wednesday, January 10, 2024
Instead of just Anakin in his Jedi robes for class this week, there were two robed figures in the front of the class. Standing as far away from each other as they could without thinking it looked really obvious.
(It looked really obvious.)
"Welcome to Teamwork," Anakin began, mental shields up as high as he could keep them and the blandest, fakest smile on his face. "I'm Anakin Skywalker, and this is my former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. We're here to teach you about working together."
Going great so far. 10/10.
Ahsoka's shields were equally high, and her smile equally bland. "We're also going to cover the importance of being able to trust in your teammates," she said, absolutely and remarkably not pointedly. "It can be the difference between success and failure."
Failures like being horribly murdered by clones who were supposed to be protecting you! Anakin wasn't bringing that up. "But it's only the first week, so let's start with introductions. Give us your name and what you think is the best characteristic of yourself that you bring to a team."
Or having to murder those mind-controlled clones to avoid being horribly killed by them, which Ahsoka wasn't bringing up either. "It doesn't need to be flashy, the ability to recognise you can't do everything on your own is an underrated skill."
One that Anakin one hundred percent did not possess. It was fine. So fine. What a fun class this would be! "Or the ability to adapt to a situation as it happens, and not be bound by a static plan."
Some might call that "inability to follow directions."
"Or landing a starship." Way harsh, Ahsoka.
"But we're not going to stand here and give you all the good ideas," Anakin decided. "Come up with some of your own. Starting with--" he pointed to someone in the back of the room, "--you."
