Hum.

"What do you think, dear?" she asks Anathema.

She leans into Ellaita, thinking. "Well... Clearly for tasks, we need to finish our snack from earlier... For terms..." She kisses Ellaita. "Well, 'Mistress' does seem to fit you well - if you and Anakin both like that." A soft look at Anakin. "But I do really like being her darlings, too."

"Yeah, that's nice. Maybe 'Mistress' if she needs to distinguish between us two?"

"Perhaps." To Anakin, then: "What do you think, lovely?"

Small wiggle. "My darlings, certainly." Soft smile. "I'll - have to experiment a bit with 'Mistress,' but... I trust you. I think it'll be okay for me."

"Experimentation is good."

"It is," she says, and then, shyly, "Mistress."

Eeee!

Oh that is a wonderful expression on her girlfriend. Well worth any uncertainty. 

"I love you," she says.

Mm, she likes hearing that.

Wiggle! "Love you so much, my darlings. Please, let me serve you."

"Since you ask so nicely."

"Thank you, Mistress."

And she sets to feeding and fanning her darlings - making sure the drinks are chilled again first. (It's so, so nice. Anakin is very obviously enjoying herself, more so the more praise she earns.)

Ellaita will be liberal with the praise then, so long as it is deserved.

Anakin will do her very best to deserve it. 

Once her darlings are full, she finds other things to do for them to busy herself with, alternating between that and simply kneeling at their feet, talking some about - just inconsequential things, pretty much. Her classes and the other professors, a book she's writing, books she's reading... She's apparently quite content to spend the day like this, until their visitors run out of excuses not to come back to the apartment (or until it's nearly dinner, at which point it does seem polite to invite them back...).

Lily's discharged enough of her filial duty for one day.

She's done a very excellent job.

Anakin cleans up, shifts her appearance back to more normal clothes, and lets her daughter know they're decent and that the group is invited for dinner. 

"Cool. We've been having fun, at least."

And back to the apartment! Where Lily greets Ellaita and Anathema Jedi and then promptly announces, "The two Anathemas need nicknames, by the way. 'Anathema Potter-Canta' is a ridiculously long name. And I'm vetoing local Anathema calling herself just 'Jedi.'"

She snickers. "You need to not read people's minds, dear."

She sticks her tongue out. "I wasn't. You're just predictable."

"You could be Anat and Hema."

Ellie's Anathema starts laughing. "I like it."

"It's the only fair division."

"Only question is which of us gets which."

"You could flip for it."
