Office hours [all day]

Anakin had slept a little last night, but Danyel's eyes haunted him when he let his eyes close for too long.

He'd seen that expression in his own face for entirely too many years.

So he was in his office keeping himself very, very busy with a loud, complicated piece of machinery, basically begging for a distraction.

The door was even open.

"Just curious," he replied, thinking of what Jaina had told him about her time at home. "How did it make people unsafe?"

John nodded. "Do they still teach that aspect, as far as you know?"

"Okay, so then how does that work exactly?" John asked, confused by these rules. "How does a Jedi help, you know, falling in love or hate or whatever?"

"Huh, willpower," John repeated, thinking that must run in the family.

"So then, by Jedi standards, you should will yourself not to love because to be in love is to be out of control?"

It was John's turn to nod. "Yeah, that is problematic at best. How do you get beyond it? I mean, obviously you chose love. How do you keep yourself from trouble?" Assuming he did, of course.

"What was the lesson?" John asked, making the mental assumption that it had something to do with the Vader thing, but hoping he was wrong.

John felt like he'd invaded something and this conversation was going far too well. "Thanks for the insight, professor. I appreciate your willingness to help."

"Yeah," John admitted. "I can't seem to help it."

"I...don't know." His point for being there was definitely not to call her out, he was more about fact-finding at the moment. "But she was madder than I've seen her."

John was relieved to hear that. "So really, it's like with anyone else. Have the feelings, just don't act on them?"

"Your teacher must've been awesome," John said, not even able to imagine setting aside his feelings when he was barely willing to admit to them.

"Was that something you did a lot of in your time?" John asked.
