That warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

This was Rey's third planet of the day, and she'd been up late and awake early, and for as tired as she was she was feeling pretty good about things right now. She didn't even go back to her apartment before heading to the warehouse for training, dropping her bag against the wall where she always set her staff.

She also made sure to send a message to people letting them know she was back, and then took a seat on the floor next to her things. Normally she'd already be running through forms or something already to start things off, but she'd earned a few minutes off.

Not only was the picture of the door proof, it was also a clue as to Rey's specific whereabouts.

And that meant a knock on the door. Eventually.

Look, Octavia had already been in town and it wasn't like she had anything else to be doing.

[thatwaslucky]

All right, rest time over. Rey still didn't default to using the Force to be lazy like a normal person would, so she actually got up to answer it. "Hi."

[okteiviakom]

"Hey."

Octavia didn't fully even realize that she looked Rey quickly up and down. Checking for injuries was just a habit.

Satisfied with what she didn't find, she actually looked past Rey. "... Is this place yours?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Kanan's," Rey said, letting her in to see it. "He uses it when the weather's bad, so I've been using it for training."

[okteiviakom]

"I don't think I've ever met him," Octavia replied, a little distractedly, as she stepped in and looked around.

[thatwaslucky]

"He's on an extended mission for a while," Rey said, but even she heard the hollow note in her voice when she said that, and she was busy doing the exact wrong thing and trying to repress. "This place isn't much, but it's got some equipment, and space is the important part."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia heard it, but at least that was something she was not going to poke at. Because she knew someone currently 'on an extended mission for a while'.

She knew the feeling, and it was not a good one.

So. No questions about that. "'Cause your training needs room?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Right now I'm learning firms with a laser sword, and one of the styles Kanan had me trying with these jumps," Rey explained. "And some of the fighting I've done has been over a lot of space. This is definitely better than a ship's lounge area."

[okteiviakom]

"Jumps?" Octavia repeated. "Think I'd like to see that."

That probably wasn't very surprising. From someone who threw her sword.

"I mean, sometime."

Octavia wasn't the only one who immediately thought to go find Rey. Duke headed over after filling in for Rosa's class, though it took him awhile to find the right door. He hadn't spent much time in the warehouse district before, after all.

He rapped on the door jam as he came in. "Glad to see you back in one piece."

[thatwaslucky]

"Me too," Rey said wryly, moving to get up. "Sorry I had to ditch out this week."

[betterthanaplan]

"Nah, don't worry about it," Duke said. "Yoga's not a formal thing or anything. Besides, I still haven't figured out a good spot for cold weather practice."

[thatwaslucky]

"There's always here, if you don't find somewhere else you want to use," Rey shrugged. "Not many people know about it, though, if you like people coming by normally."

[betterthanaplan]

"It can be nice to have people wander by, but it's not the whole point or anything," Duke said. "This place is pretty porg-free, too." Which was . . . kind of weird at this point. "Could be a contender."

He looked Rey over quickly and tilted his head. "So. How was your trip?"

[thatwaslucky]

"A little dicey, but ultimately good, I think." She was trying not to think about what was happening on Ryloth right now. "More shooting than I like to deal with, but it's actually feeling like we're making some progress."

[betterthanaplan]

"You got shot at?" Way to make him worry even more next time you headed home, Rey. "I mean, I know it's a war and all. I shouldn't even be surprised. But -- still."

[thatwaslucky]

"I shot back," Rey said, not quite getting the problem. "We got ambushed, had to get out. It's fine."

"All limbs accounted for?" Anakin asked, only half joking, as he arrived.

[thatwaslucky]

"Not even a bruise on me," Rey assured him, smiling a little.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said, smiling back. "I worry."

[thatwaslucky]

She almost asked You do?, but that felt like a weird question with a probably obvious answer.

"It went pretty well. Ran into some trouble, but there were a couple successful missions and now we're on to the next things." She'd had an issue, but she would get to that.

[sith_happened]

"What's the next thing?" Anakin asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"Scattering. Rescuing prisoners and finding allies, starting from the fringes and working inward," she said. "I don't know what I'm specifically doing next, until Poe calls me in."

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "There's a lot fringe to work from," he said sympathetically.

[thatwaslucky]

"There is. But we have places we know we can work from now. This is a good position."

She actually believed that now, too.
