Second Floor Common Room - Molly's Birthday Party [7:30ish FHT]

The common room had been decorated with streamers of pink and white.

There were pools of bright pink and silver glitter littering the tables.

There was one table with a cake, snacks and beverages, and another with a small sign saying "Presents" on it.

You know the drill.

[Going up supah early because I am going AFK soonishly and also there are time zone issues.]

As Aeryn's really only seen Anakin in classes, she can finally actually go up to him and say, "Glad to see you're back."

Anakin gave her a huge smile. "And you," he said. He leaned against a sofa. "How have you been?"

"Depends on the day," she says honestly. "What about you?"

Anakin gave her a rueful smile. "About the same. Home was pretty bad," he said, hand going up to touch the scar on his cheek that had almost faded away, "and here, well, has had its moments."

"It gets easier," she says. "I really hadn't expected you to be gone when I got back. Came as a bit of a shock."

"I hadn't expected to be gone either," Anakin said, running a hand through his hair. "Emergency back home." He pressed his lips together. "Someone decided that kidnapping a Jedi would be a good idea. I had to dissuade them of that notion."

"Did you?" Aeryn asks.

Anakin nodded sharply. "Yeah. It wasn't pretty. Made study group look like a youngling exercise."

"Yeah," she says. "Glad you're okay."

"Me too," Anakin said with a smile. "Turns out getting shot hurts like a son of a bitch."

"You win. Haven't been shot yet," she says. "Not something to look forward to, hm?"

"Yeah, definitely something to be avoided," he said. "So are lightsabers to the leg, but I don't see that being something that will happen to anyone but me." He rolled his eyes. "Turns out I'm not quite as quick as I needed to be."

"You know for next time," she says. "I almost got stabbed. Still got cut. Next time I know to move a different way."

"Not into the shiny blade," Anakin said, nodding. "That way leads to pain." He shrugged. "But we got Obi-Wan out, so I'll call it a win."

Aeryn raises her eyebrows and nods. "That's what's important," she agrees. "And you got to come back."

Anakin smiled. "I did. And it's good to be back." He looked at Aeryn. "Is it good to be back?"

"Most of the time. There are moments... Are you having problems?" she wonders. "Readjusting?"

Re: After Molly arrives - mingling, etc.

He nodded. "Yeah," he said quietly.

"It does get easier," she says again, quietly. "Not quickly, but it does."

"Good to hear," he said, giving her a poor excuse for a smile.

"If you need to talk," she says, "and there are things I will not say in the middle of the common room... You know where I am."

Anakin nodded. "I'll take you up on that," he said quietly, eyes focusing on Rory and Victor (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/518689.html?thread=25891873#t25891873) speaking together.

His forehead wrinkled in concern as he watched Rory move towards the door. "Excuse me," he said with a small smile, then walked across the room.
