This was a terrible idea. Elsa was pretty certain of it, as she made her way to Professor Skywalker's office, not certain with every step if she was going to be able to make another one, or if the next would see her turning and running in the opposite direction.

Anakin smiled. "Relatively uneventful. So far, I've only heard three conversations from people who aren't in the room."

While Jaina had some free time on her hands, she figured she'd make a call.

Oh look, there it was.

"Someday one of us will learn how to answer with 'hello,'" Jaina teased.

"But that will just confuse whoever's calling," Anakin replied. "Hello, Jaina."
