The Warehouse What is Basically Kanan's Now, Friday Afternoon

[uncertain_dume]

So, Rosa had asked him on Tuesday if she could make use of his warehouse for her next class, and Kanan, in turn, had mentioned that he'd try to get mats in by Tuesday next. So, instead of training while he waited for people today, he was making his way around the place, making certain he'd gotten rid of anything outright dangerous (he had) and then sitting and waiting for a delivery of a bunch of mats he'd finally cracked and ordered. Not enough to cover the entire floor by any means, no, but enough of those flat blue things that connected together by velcro to create a decent amount of space to spar in.

And then he was busying himself with other things. Making sure the first-aid kit on the wall was where it could be easily spotted, making certain everything in it was clearly labelled in High Gal-- er, English so that people using it would know what the hell to do with the things inside. Setting out the bamboo swords a little more neatly than usual, in case students wanted to make use of them.

Putting the sharpened steel up and away in a rafter where you'd need a good Force Leap to be able to retrieve them. Sorry, students, those ones were his.

Anyway, he was here, he was busy, he was... really broke, after getting those mats, but overall, he was completely interruptable.

Good thing he was interruptible, because as usual, there was an incoming call!

[uncertain_dume]

And, as usual, there was a Kanan answering the phone!

"Hey, Rey!"

So help him, he kind of looked forward to these check-ins.

[thatwaslucky]

"You sound cheery today," she said, but she was immediately smiling.

[uncertain_dume]

"Yeah, I'm actually being productive in here," Kanan said, smiling a little. "Got some mats for the warehouse, so I figured I'd do a run around and see what else needs repair, padding, all that good stuff."

[thatwaslucky]

"I like this much better than training in a storm," she said. "Wish I could help."

She was good at that!

[uncertain_dume]

"I'll send you pictures of the progress," Kanan said dutifully. "You can help vicariously by telling me if I'm doing anything horribly wrong."

He really wasn't. He had experience with this kind of thing.

[thatwaslucky]

"Honestly, if it works for you, then you're probably doing it right," Rey pointed out. "Though I do want to see it."

[uncertain_dume]

"Well, then you'll see it. And how have things been going for you, Rey?"

He wasn't exactly expecting any great revelations, no, but Space Dad was gonna dad.

[thatwaslucky]

"Nothing new. I found some decent-sized pieces, I'm spending the rest of the day cleaning them up," she told him. "It's thrilling."

Friday was Friday. Kaidan headed to the warehouse for sword practice. He was hauling with him a duffel, the plan was to head straight through the portal from here.

He paused just inside the door and looked around. "Huh. You got the mats in. Nice! Anything I can do to help?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Not sure," Kanan chuckled, "jump up and down on them a few times, make sure they're secure?"

He glanced around the warehouse. "Help me find anything that might be unsafe if, say, one of the classes from the school were to come in here and swing some weapons around?"

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan, mature sort that he was, stuck his tongue out at the suggestion that he jump on the mats.

"Wait," he blinked, "You're bringing your class here?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Not my class, nah," Kanan replied, shaking his head. "There isn't much charity that can be done in here. I had a request from one of the other teachers, she'd like to use this space to introduce some students to some various weapons, so I figured I'd at least make sure this place is up to code."

Or something close to it.

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan thought about making a quip, but considering the amount of fidgeting Kanan was already up to, withheld it. He didn't even want to joke about something that'd be likely to set Kanan on another task.

"If they're going to be sparring, remind their teacher that they're going to need pro, even with the mats," Kaidan said lightly, "Maybe also make sure they have their tetanus boosters."

He nodded at the crates, "You going to stack those in the back or leave 'em?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Pull them off to the side," Kanan replied, shrugging. "No clue what exactly the plan for that day is, but leaving as much in here to work with as possible can't hurt, I figure."

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan nodded. Before the crates could be stacked, he borrowed one and slung his duffel down onto it. A quick rummage through it and he tossed a box toward Kanan.

"Before I forget. Brought you back something from Omega, last time I was there."

Inside the box is a Scorpion, and someone thought it was a clever idea to use color-coded thermal clips as packing material.

Because if anyone needed a handgun that fired sticky mines, it was Kanan.

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan caught the box with ease, pausing for a moment to consider it before glancing back up at Kaidan, smiling slightly, eyebrow raised.

"You got me a gift, huh?" He'd mentioned something along those lines while Kanan had been a cat; he'd forgotten. "You know you didn't need to do that, buddy."

Well, Amaya finally got around to getting those founded practice swords gathered up, tossed in a wheelbarrow, and was heading over to the warehouse to drop them off, since she figured Kanan would be there today.

When she got there, though, she wasn't sure what the best protocol for a delivery like this would be. Did she knock? Just come on in? She figured she'd knock on the door, a good loud rattling kind that was pretty easy to hear. It always seemed like a good idea to knock in most situations; you had no idea what you'd wind up walking into otherwise, especially around here.

[uncertain_dume]

Well, her knocking was rewarded, at least, with Kanan, a tool kit hiked easily up onto one shoulder, opening the door and peering out at her curiously -- everyone he tended to train in here didn't generally knock, these days.

"Oh, Amaya! Hey, how goes it?"

He was opening the door properly, now, to let her inside.

[special_rabbit]

"Kanan," Amaya greeted him back with a nod, turning slightly so that she could angle the wheelbarrow in after the door was opened. "It goes well, especially since I come bearing swords!"

Everything was better with swords!

"Meant to get 'em to you a while ago, if I'm honest, but, well, I guess I got caught up. Thankfully, they haven't been sitting around too long, at least."

[uncertain_dume]

"Hey, I'll take 'em whenever they show up," Kanan said easily. "I didn't tell you I was in any particular rush, after all."

He made a reach for one of them, picking it up to test it in his hand, and then nodding in satisfaction.

"This is well done, Amaya. Exactly what I need."

[special_rabbit]

This was no surprise to Amaya, of course, but that definitely didn't mean she didn't like hearing it, with a small grin of pride as she nodded.

"Figured they might fit the bill," she said. "And, remember, I made them with a mold, so if you find you need more, just let me know, we can whip up another round in just a few days. Might be a good task for my apprentice to pick up."

Would it ever not feel just a little strange and novel that that was a thing she could say now? Probably not, no, but it was still pretty great.

"They should last pretty long, though. Nothing special, but they're sturdy, so unless any of your students really give them a good beating and they're not exposed to the elements too much, they should hold for some time."

[uncertain_dume]

"They're pretty protected from the elements in here," Kanan mused, glancing around, "so I'm sure they'll hold up for a while, but if I happen to need more for whatever reason, it's good to know you've got some good turnaround time on these."

You never knew what the future would bring, after all.

[special_rabbit]

Should they ever get attacked by anything vulnerable only to the most rudimentary steel practice swords, they'd be all set!

Amaya nodded again, then took a second to look around a bit herself. "So," she said, "this is the warehouse, huh? Pretty nice set-up you've got in here."

[uncertain_dume]

"It's functional," Kanan replied, grinning a little as he surveyed the space. "It keeps the weather off, at least, which was the whole point. Everything else besides that is mostly just a bonus."
