Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was worried today might be interesting. There was this giant thing hanging over her head that she didn't want to even think about, but she was sure she was going to have to talk around it with someone who could tell what she was feeling, and worse, if she'd try blocking him.

She was trying to stay active today, running the course blindfolded with the drones coming after her. Maybe she could just do this afternoon? Harder to talk when you were getting hit by tennis balls while jumping over quicksand!

Anakin wasn't sad to not be covered in paint today, he was just...not used to that feeling.

He walked into the warehouse and watched quietly as Rey ran through the course.

[thatwaslucky]

And fun thing about doing this blindfolded was that she could pretend she didn't know he was there.

At least for the length of time it would take her to run the course, which she was more than halfway through. She was doing well, at least.

[sith_happened]

She was and Anakin, for once, was content just to watch and not interfere and make it more challenging.

[thatwaslucky]

She'd half been expecting it to start snowing or something, so it was actually a little surprising to finish up the course like normal.

"Hi," she said, turning off the lightsaber so she could take off the blindfold.

[sith_happened]

Anakin gave her a smile. "You did well."

[thatwaslucky]

"Thank you," Rey said, pleased. "I've been working on it."

[sith_happened]

"It shows," Anakin praised.

[thatwaslucky]

"Only got hit a couple times, too," she said. "Have to still work on that."

[sith_happened]

"Always," Anakin said, smiling. "But realizing you'll get hit is an important lesson to learn."

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh, that's a lesson I have learned many, many, many times," Rey assured him, clipping her lightsaber to her belt.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "I'm always happy to help in that area."

[thatwaslucky]

"You're largely why I've learned that lesson," Rey said with a smile.

[sith_happened]

"A lot of people are afraid of getting shot and freeze under fire," Anakin said, smiling. "This breaks that habit."

The habit of self-preservation.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey frowned, thinking about it. "I'm not actually sure I have ever frozen up."

Unless she found she suddenly couldn't move or whatever.

[sith_happened]

"That's good," Anakin said with a smile, "but I teach for the ones who will, too."

[thatwaslucky]

"I guess there's always a chance for it."

Ehhh.

[sith_happened]

"Well, maybe not from you," Anakin said, "but I also need to train Grogu. Apparently."

[thatwaslucky]

"Really," she said, raising an eyebrow. "How are you feeling about that?"

[sith_happened]

"Harassed," Anakin said dryly. "Master Yoda came here specifically to facilitate."

[thatwaslucky]

"I did hear you got hit with a stick," Rey said.

[sith_happened]

"A few times," Anakin grumbled.

[thatwaslucky]

"I would have liked to have met him," Rey admitted. "Hopefully I could avoid the stick."

[sith_happened]

"You'd probably have been okay," Anakin said. "He's been waiting a while for me."

[thatwaslucky]

"How did it go?" Rey wondered.

[sith_happened]

"Well, he smacked me with a stick a lot," Anakin said, "which I did deserve."
