uncertain_dumeNormally, Kanan made his way out here on Fridays for this thing. Or, at least, he did now that he was giving Tip self-defense lessons using a pair of sticks and a lot of determination. But this week was different. Of course it was. This week was different because anybody could show up tomorrow. Tip probably had company on the way, and the last time the island did this whole thing with the visitors, he'd had Mara giving him desperate looks over at Luke's while Darth kriffing Vader sat there looking all intimidating.
So if anybody thought there was a chance in hell that he'd be doing anything even vaguely resembling soresu in public while there were guests here, they had another think coming.
This week was different in another way, mind. Instead of a pair of sticks that Tip had foraged out of the bushes, he had something he'd picked up on the mainland the other day; a pair of bamboo shinai, mostly for the improved balance over the sticks, and at least in part because they didn't have the same curve on them that the other training swords all seemed to have.
So sue him, he was used to working with a blade with a very particular shape to it.
So that was what he had in hand today while he was running through old, familiar patterns in the park, early enough that he could go through them a few times before Tip arrived. Partly to get a feel for the new weapon, partly because he still kind of appreciated having a little time to train on his own first, too.
