Office Hours [10.2]

Oct 02, 2009 11:12

Ghanima had straightened up her office as a concession to any of the parents that might stop in. The piles of papers had vanished neatly into file drawers, all herbs, tinctures, and poisons had been locked in to her cabinet, and she had already started tea -- minus the Spice, of course -- in the tea service ( Read more... )

After spending time and the meet and greet, Luke had wrangled his son's schedule out of him and went off in search of teachers to chat with.

Ghanima was high on his list anyway, since Ben seemed to have taken a class with her every semester.

He rapped politely on the door jamb. "Are you Ghanima Atreides?" he asked.

"I am," she replied, noting certain genetic markers in his features. Another member of the Skywalker-Solo clan, apparently, and hopefully better behaved than last year's visitor. "May I help you?"

"I'm Ben's father," Luke said with a smile. "I thought I should meet the teacher he speaks so highly of."

No, Ghanima, the first thing you ask him is not going to be, What the hell possessed you to give Ben to Jacen Solo, that would be rude.

"Come in, Mr. Skywalker," she offered instead, gesturing for him to take a seat. "Can I get you any tea?"

Dallas came alone to this professor, her usual smiling and cheerful self.

"Hello? Professor Atreides, was it?"

atreideslioness October 2 2009, 20:22:59 UTC

"It is," Ghanima replied agreeably. "Do come in, Miss ...?"

"Dallas," and the twang was somewhat awkward.

"Fiona's aunt."

She held out a dainty hand to shake, friendly as friendly could be.

Ghanima's smile was slightly sharp as she took the other woman's hand. "Oh, good. I was hoping to get one of you in my office."

After letting Jaina show him around, she'd escaped to make a phone call- and he really hadn't needed the detailed description of how the phone worked- Jacen decided if there was one teacher he had to see that wasn't related to him, this would be the one.

He'd start with a knock at the door. "Professor Atreides?"

"That would be me," she said, looking up from her book. "May I help you?"

"I'm Jaina Solo's brother," he introduced himself. "She's mentioned you a few times, so I thought I would drop in while I have some time." Before Jaina tried to make sure he didn't talk to anyone. Like she was the only one who did things she wasn't supposed to.

"That would make you Jacen, then," she replied with a smile. "Come in, Mr. Solo. Would you like some tea?"

Ghanima had meant what she said to Jaina. This Jacen was not Ben's Jacen, and there was no reason to hold him accountable for the sins of another.
