The training warehouse- Friday afternoon

Last week had been one of those weeks where everything went wrong and it resulted in her easily doing insane stuff she'd been having a problem with when she tried it. She was trying to be in that mindset today as she ran the training course, adding in things like jumps when she didn't have to, just to see if she could in the moment.

And she could? And it was actually really fun?

Maybe someday she'd figure out what mental block stopped her from doing this other times.

"You're getting better," Anakin called up as he entered.
sith_happened: (Anakin: pensive)

"It's working for you," Anakin said with a little smile.

"It doesn't matter how long it took," Anakin said. "Just that you get there."

"Well, if you were still struggling five years from now, yes," Anakin said, "but you're fine."

"I didn't make it easy," Anakin pointed out.

"Impatience was always one of my apparent failings, too," Anakin said. "I like to think of it as being driven."

"Oh?" Anakin replied, smiling. "What did she say?"

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-15 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin nodded. "So you'd rather go in and trust you'll figure it out than learn just enough to get paralyzed by the enormity of it all?"
sith_happened: (Anakin: grin)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-15 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin nodded again. "It's a strange adjustment," he admitted, "thinking beyond just you."
sith_happened: (Anakin: shiny)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-16 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin gave her a tiny smile. "Of course not."

Anakin nodded. "That's why the masters kept yelling at us to meditate. We need to center ourselves before the responsibility either overwhelms us or goes to our heads as the only beings who can possibly fix everything."
sith_happened: (Anakin: guh)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-16 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good," Anakin said, smiling. "We wouldn't have kept doing it for thousands of years if it was entirely pointless."

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-16 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin looked pleased. "Do you want to try it now, then?"
sith_happened: (Anakin: grin)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-16 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin laughed. "Exactly. If that workout can't quiet your mind, it means I have to increase its difficulty."
sith_happened: (Anakin: from behind)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-17 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Kind of?" Anakin repeated, smiling.
sith_happened: (Anakin: grin)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-18 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Good job," Anakin praised. "Now the trick is to stay in that feeling."
sith_happened: (Anakin: beautiful disaster)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-19 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin's smile widened. "Well done."
sith_happened: (Default)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-19 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Anakin nodded. "It did. I always found it easy to sink into during combat situations because it made me a more effective fighter. When you're listening to the Force, you're safe."

"If you can stay in that moment for longer than a moment, then you're ready to fight against me," Anakin said.
sith_happened: (Anakin: giddy)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-20 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin smiled. "You ready for it?"
sith_happened: (Default)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-20 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin's grin widened. "With the training lightsabers at first. But then no."
sith_happened: (Anakin: grin)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-21 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin reached for a training lightsaber from a box that was totally there shhhhh. "Whenever you're ready, then. Form II."
sith_happened: (Anakin: grin)

[personal profile] sith_happened 2020-03-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin smiled and stood across from her, lightsaber igniting. "When you're ready."

"Good," Anakin praised, moving to meet her. "Not everyone will give you time to dump your cloak in a puddle."

Obi-Wan.

"You should, they're very handy," Anakin said. "Except during lightsaber duels."
