Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey hated the remotes so much. But, it was also something she had to train with sometimes, so she'd set several up around her while she ran through Form III, and okay, maybe she shouldn't have set them all to high.

And then she decided that maybe it worked better if she wasn't expecting them all to go at full blast all the time, so she adjusted the settings on some of them to give it some variety.

She'd still get shot, but at least she wasn't expecting it the whole time.

It had been a bit since Silver visited Rey while she was training, and today was a good a day as any. He didn't quite expect this when he walked in, however. "Doesn't that hurt?"

[thatwaslucky]

"It really does," she said, deflecting a bolt. "It's good incentive not to get shot."

[long_memory]

"I suppose so," he said. "Not something I would deliberately put myself through, personally."

[thatwaslucky]

"I can't blame you. I hate putting myself through it."

And yet!

[long_memory]

"Then why do you?" he asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"Because," she said, fending off two bolts in quick succession, "I'm keeping my reflexes sharp so I avoid getting hit in a real situation. I used to get hit a lot more."

[long_memory]

Silver didn't think he would ever understand the whole training thing. Which was probably why he was a terrible fighter who only survived on luck.

"Well that's a good thing," Silver said. "Anything that gets you hurt less is good."

[thatwaslucky]

"Exactly. Plus it looks cool," she smiled.

[long_memory]

He smiled. "It does look really cool."

[thatwaslucky]

"So what brings you down here?" she asked, even if she had an idea.

Also she was glad she deflected a particularly tricky shot because it would have been embarrassing to get hit right then.

"Just making sure we're on good terms," he joked. "Tuesday could have been a fluke."

[thatwaslucky]

"I could always prove that it wasn't," she teased.

[long_memory]

"Right here in the warehouse?" he said. "That would be inappropriate."

Anakin poked his head into the warehouse and grinned at the remotes. "Looks like you could handle a couple more!" he teased.

[thatwaslucky]

"I knew you were going to say something like that," she told him.

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "You know me well."

[thatwaslucky]

"You really like remotes," she pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"In my defense, I learned that from my Master," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"Whatever you need to tell yourself," she teased, deflecting a bolt.

[sith_happened]

"You're hilarious," Anakin said dryly.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey grinned, and said, "You could probably add more if you wanted to."

[sith_happened]

"I think I might," Anakin replied, grinning as he set three more remotes at her.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm doing different settings," she told him, ready for any shots. "So I can't get used to expecting one thing."

[sith_happened]

"That's a very good idea," Anakin praised, turning his onto two different settings as he flipped them.

[thatwaslucky]

"Thank you," she said, fully expecting Anakin to ignore her immediately taking a bolt to the thigh.
