Office hours [all day]

Anakin was in his office deciding on the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Rory.

And definitely not plotting how to have a Talk with a lightning-tossing Jedi or neutralizing a student with a penchant for speaking in the third person.

The door was open.

And Karal broke into another huge smile. "Glory, yes."

"It's like she smiles with her whole self," Anakin said. "It's the same when she laughs."

He broke off, embarrassed. "Or when Padmé did. It gets confusing."

Karal's expression was an odd mix of sympathy and protectiveness. "I know she looks like Padmé, I know that she may even have been her for a brief time, but she is not Padmé. She is Evey."
sith_happened: (Anakin: b&w intense)

"Padmé rarely yelled at me," Anakin said with a wry smile.

A grin tried very hard to escape. "She yelled at you?"
sith_happened: (Anakin: doofy smile)

"We had a difference of opinion," Anakin said, nodding.

Karal couldn't help a bubbly, vaguely proud feeling. Not that he thought Anakin deserved to be yelled at, but he still intimidated Karal a great deal. "May I ask what about?"
sith_happened: (Anakin: woe)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2008-02-14 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin turned quiet. "Self-sacrifice. I was a little over-invested in the conversation."

Which was Anakin's way of saying he might have been wrong.

"It does seem to be a subject that you hold very close to your heart," he said carefully, remembering a partciular class. "I imagine Evey has very definite opinions on the subject."
sith_happened: (Anakin: not happy)

And very much ones that he'd had problems coming from Padmé's face, but he wasn't going to share that.

"I've seen a lot of self-sacrifice," Anakin said. "One of the perils of Jedi at war."

"Vkandis willing you will never have to see it again," he said quietly, and it was partly a prayer.

"It's why I prefer Jaina and Luke where I can watch them," Anakin said. "We have a bit of a family history of doing incredibly stupid things in the name of the greater good."

Karal had to ask the question. "Luke truly wants to give Victor a second chance?" he asked carefully, voice very neutral.
sith_happened: (Anakin: scar)

Anakin nodded, looking a little frustrated. "He believes in redemption for everyone."

[identity profile] vkandis-son.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Redemption is not so simple as that," Karal said, empathising with Anakin's frustration. "Wanting others to be redeemed does not mean they themselves have any desire be."

Though he was quite certain he knew why Luke was so determined.
sith_happened: (Anakin: nothing has changed)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2008-02-14 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin ran his hand through his hair. "Luke inherited stubbornness from both sides," he said. "He believes that given enough time, he can change anyone's mind."

[identity profile] vkandis-son.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Karal wasn't sure what to say. Some crimes could not be answered by redemption, only by death or imprisonment. Some people could not be redeemed, there was nothing in them that desired it. "I hope that it never brings him to harm," he finally settled on.
sith_happened: (Anakin: *is not buying this*)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2008-02-14 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin gave him a sad smile. "We both know the universe doesn't work that way."

[identity profile] vkandis-son.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can still pray that it will, though." And he would. "At least for him."
sith_happened: (Anakin: beautiful disaster)

"I'd appreciate that," Anakin said. "Force knows that on this issue he and I will never be coming from the same place."

[identity profile] vkandis-son.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "It is something I can do," he said quietly. "And I should let you return to what you were doing. Thank you for letting me interrupt you."
sith_happened: (Anakin: doofy smile)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2008-02-14 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin gave him a very small smile. "You're no interruption. Good day."

[identity profile] vkandis-son.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Karal ducked his head and returned the smile before turning to leave.
