Office hours [all day]

Darth Vader was in his office brooding.

He'd handwavily gone home to scare the Stormtroopers working on the newest Death Star. It was very close to being weapons ready--something that filled him with a sick sort of dread.

And when he came back, his meditation chamber had been destroyed because he'd spent the entire weekend thinking he was a lion (except for an equally humiliating time believing he was some kind of actor from Earth). He'd given advice to some random cub.

And now he wanted to eat duck.

His life was terribly hard, yes.

So he sat in his office with the door propped open, poking occasionally at the musical instrument Rose had given him and tried to keep his mind off of what it had felt like to feel the breeze on his face again.

"It's as close as I can give him," she replied. "I'm not...old enough or smart enough or sane enough be anyone's mother. But I want the best for Luke and I'm trying to give him that. As his actual father, you could trouble yourself to do the same."

"No, you won't," she said, rolling her eyes. "But I'll pester you until you do something."

She smiled. "So, how have you been? Anything fun happen this week?"

"Lucky," she said. "What was going on at home?"

Rory felt her skin go cold.

"What kind of project?"

"You suck at secrets," she remarked.

She was afraid to.

But first things first.

"Relatively bright? Excuse me?"

"Oh, shut up," she snorted. "You know perfectly well how intelligent I am. Give credit where it's due."

She thought for a moment, and said, "Luke blew up your planet-destroying thing, didn't he? That kind of blow must have hurt."

She watched him. "Just think, Anakin. On every planet, there are mothers with their children, and teenagers in love, and little boys running around and wanting to show their fathers their discoveries. Think of all the wasted potential."

"It's your name," she reasoned. "Unless you'd prefer 'Anakitten,' but I thought you hated it when I teased you about that...."

"Do you remember when I started that?" she asked fondly. "You made the couch float in the common room. It was a couple days before our first kiss."

She smiled a little bit more. "Do you ever think about us?"
