Emo Beach [afternoon]

[sith_happened]

Anakin wasn't really paying attention to the weather--which wasn't precisely beach-friendly--as he perched on a rock and watched the waves crash against the shore.

His mind was whirling a little too fast with memories of what he had done--and who he was about to admit it to.

[OOC: For whitedeathpod, then Faithful and Rory. As it is a public place, who was talking is fine, what they were discussing, NFB please.]

Since he was leaving for home early tomorrow, it was nice to be able to go out today, enjoy the weather.

He waved to Anakin as he approached. "Hey!"

[sith_happened]

Anakin returned the wave, but didn't smile. "Hi, John." His eyes tracked back to the water. "I've missed the waves," he commented.

"Got your message," John said, stopping beside him. "And yeah. But this place, you'd get expect giant, man eating sea monsters to live in it."

Anakin made a face. "Now I'll be worried about that when I go swimming," he said.

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth, then changed his mind. "How are you today?"

"Just don't go skinny dipping," John teased. "And I'm doing all right. Aeryn and I are going to North Carolina tomorrow."

[sith_happened]

"First time home after your mother?" Anakin asked, completely forgetting that he wasn't supposed to know about that.

John blinked. "Aeryn told you about that already?"

After John

Faithful really, really hated sand. Which is why he was perched on some rocks behind Anakin. "Meow."

Anakin didn't jump, but it was a close thing. "Faithful," he said quietly.

Re: After John

Faithful made himself more comftorable by getting rid of as much sand as possible with his tail. "Anakin." He paused. "Among others."

Re: After John

Anakin bit his lower lip. "You knew."

It wasn't a question.

Re: After John

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Faithful? Absolutely fascinated by his tail. "Putting it in the most basic terms possible: None of my business."

"I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the majority opinion if this got around," Anakin said, still focused on the waves.

It was easier than making eye contact.

After both John and Faithful

Rory had been in a bit of a mood lately, to put it lightly. After making sure Luke was squared away after their clinic visit, she grabbed Vladdie and took him out for some much-needed air.

Vladdie being Vladdie, he got away from her.

"Vladdie, get back here," she hissed, trying to make out the figure in the near-dark as the puppy darted over to sniff at Anakin.

[sith_happened]

Anakin had buried his head against his knees and didn't move as Vladdie came over to greet him.

He wasn't quite composed enough to look at anyone.

Vladdie decided to take this as an invitation to have an animated conversation with Anakin's boots.

Rory sighed and strode over. "I'm sorry, he - " She stopped mid-sentence and just looked down at him.

Anakin visibly struggled to pull himself together.

"Hi," he said, voice shaky.

"Are you all right?" she asked, her eyes wide. "What happened?"

Re: After both John and Faithful

"I told John," Anakin said, scrubbing his fist across his eyes, "and I'm not all right."

Rose wasn't being emo. She just liked the view. Really.

[sith_happened]

Anakin gave her a polite, if distant, smile. "Hello."

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose nodded, smiling, "Anakin, hi."

[sith_happened]

"The beach is a good place to think, huh?" he asked.

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose nodded, "It is. Come here to think?"

[sith_happened]

"It's practically traditional around here," Anakin said. "Either here or the dorm roof, and I'm not a student any longer."
