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!

"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.

"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.

"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."

[thatwaslucky]

"Beyond hitting you with a stick," she clarified, smiling.

[sith_happened]

"Better than I anticipated," Anakin admitted. "How about Luke?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Awkward," she said slowly, which was certainly a way to put it. "But different than it was on Ahch-To."

[sith_happened]

Anakin found a spot to sit and sprawled onto the floor to listen. "How so?"

[thatwaslucky]

"He wasn't mad at me," she stated. Mostly.

[sith_happened]

"Well, that's a good start," Anakin said. "Was he normally mad at you?"
