The Park, Friday Afternoon

[uncertain_dume]

So, the guy with the lightsaber in the park today was a little shorter than the usual guy. He also seemed far more confident in his swordwork, though, running through Form III patterns as though he'd only just done them yesterday. Which... well... he had.

He also appeared to have a little bit more pink in his braid than he had yesteray morning. And a blue streak in the rest of his hair. And it was possible that he was keeping his eyes closed as he worked through his forms at least in part because his braid kept swinging into view and it was just so pink. Like... bright pink. Like Caleb had a Zeltron sparring partner back at the Temple who would have been jealous of that hair.

Was it possible to have buyer's remorse on stubbornness? Caleb might have had buyer's remorse on stubbornness, because he never would have let Rosa Emily put so much color into his hair otherwise. And his Master was either going to lecture him or laugh at him or both in equal measures once she was out of the bacta and she saw this, and the hair wasn't even the strangest part of his yesterday.

He spun on his heel, bringing his lightsaber down and forward, his dog (he still wasn't convinced Stance wasn't just a super weird wolf) watching intently from where he was sitting by a bench, as he waited for Tip to arrive for her Friday sword practice, like she had said she would.

Tip cleared her throat a few times, clearly making an effort to get herself back under control.

"Mm. Sorry. You had to be there."

"I, uh. Apparently so." He blinked again, and then, tentatively, slid back into the opening stance. "... But you're good now?"

"Mmhm!" She was going to do her best, anyway. The hilarity of this situation was still bubbling away happily on the inside. "I am totally focused on the form."

[uncertain_dume]

"You're not," Caleb laughed, "but the sooner we get started, maybe the sooner you'll be able to focus on it."

"Yes, sensei," Tip said automatically, then had to bite her lip to keep from laughing again.

Then she remembered Kanan's admonitions during her early lessons about not biting her lip or sticking out her tongue unless she wanted to bite them off and had to try to recenter herself all over again.

"I have no idea what that means," Caleb replied brightly. Beause some things never changed. "But so long as you're good to go, that probably doesn't matter."
