The beach- Tuesday morning

The beach had maybe become Rey's favorite place for training, just because of the scenery. She'd woken up early and decided to go out with her staff for a while, trying to remember the steps she'd run through with Kanan the other week. Her memorization maybe wasn't the greatest, and it was a little different with a staff versus a lightsaber anyway, but the spirit of it was there, even if things like the leaps didn't make sense to her yet. It didn't hurt anything to skip those for now.

And then when she wanted a break, she was happy enough to sit on the sand and look out at the water for a while while she cooled down. There really were worse ways to spend a morning.


[Open!]

It seemed like wherever Duke went for a walk on this island, he ran into someone swinging around a weapon. At least this person didn't look eerily like him.

"Nice moves," he called, when she sat down to take a break. "I definitely wouldn't want to run into you in a dark alley."
betterthanaplan: (inuendo?)

“Morning,” Duke said, and sat down next to her. “Let me guess: waking up with a little bit of space!tai chi?” He grinned to soften the snark in the question. “I’m more of a yoga guy myself, but it did look fun.”
betterthanaplan: (ready to meditate)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke tilted his head and nodded. “Yeah, sort of. I’d say it’s more the stretchy one. Both yoga and tai chi can be calming. They’re about self-control. Mastering your breath and your body.”

Duke clicked his tongue and pointed at her. “Exactly. Like meditation in motion.”

"You totally should." Duke was of the opinion that everyone should at least try yoga. "I could show you a few things sometime, maybe."
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

The trick was working out what, if anything, they were expecting in return. (In Duke's case, he was just looking to hang out with someone who seemed cool, and a chance to show off a little.)

"Nah. I'm supposed to be a teacher now, right? Might as well get some practice in where I can."
betterthanaplan: (stand off)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's alright. I'm not much of a staff fighter anyway." More of a 'whatever he could grab, usually a crowbar or a gun' fighter. "You're studying with that Kanan guy, right?"
betterthanaplan: (so that's concerning)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke nodded, wondering if that meant she'd be doing the leaps and flips eventually, too. In which case, she could definitely benefit from some yoga practice.

"He let you try that fancy sword of his at all?"
betterthanaplan: (truck guy)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right. Lightsaber." Still just meant 'sword of light', but sure. "And where does one acquire one of these lightsabers?"

"Ah." Duke shook his head. Because of course the space sword required parts gathered in space. "Must make it a pain in the ass to find replacement parts. You pick it up while scavenging?"

. . . The space swords could talk. Okay then.

"I get the feeling there is a much longer story in there somewhere."
betterthanaplan: (shiny hair and concern)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke nodded. "Some stories take awhile to wrap your head around. And figure out the best way around the bits you don't want to tell anyone anyway."
betterthanaplan: (what can you do?)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2019-09-10 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've been in Fandom for a week," Duke pointed out. "Literally everything sounds insane to me right now."

And after hanging out with Delirium this weekend, he was just fine with that. Pretty much everything that wasn't a creepy dude with teeth for eyes was currently alright in his book.
