Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was throwing herself into running the course harder than usual today. After last week's conversation about going out on missions more, it felt like she needed to put her worries about herself aside and just... try to be better.

Which given what she'd been doing to herself the last few weeks seemed to be so simple an answer that she could kick herself.

So she was throwing herself into things, setting up the remotes along with Barry's drones, which also meant she had to figure out what was headed towards her so she wasn't accidentally slicing up tennis balls. Detail work today.

"Rey?" Anakin called as he came into the warehouse. "I'm here!"

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah," Rey called from up above, mid-course.

[sith_happened]

"Need more remotes?"

[thatwaslucky]

"I feel like you're gonna do it anyway!"

That was a tennis ball, oops.

[sith_happened]

"Maybe," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey would answer, but she was busy dealing with remotes and drones and preparing for him to do it anyway.

[sith_happened]

Rey was wise because Anakin had kicked on a few more remotes already.

[thatwaslucky]

He may have heard the "Knew it," from her, but it was pretty quiet over her fending them off with her lightsabers.

At least she only had about half the course left.

[sith_happened]

"You're doing fine," Anakin said. "You needed the challenge!"

[thatwaslucky]

"I did! But still!"

She was focused, though, so she was actually fending off the additional remotes pretty well. Just not nearly as well as he would.

[sith_happened]

"No 'but still'," Anakin teased. "More 'yes, Master.'"

[thatwaslucky]

Rey did not dignify that with an answer right now as she was trying to climb a wall with a lightsaber and a bunch of things shooting at her.

She was at least taking fewer shots than usual. Those tennis balls, though.

[sith_happened]

The tennis balls were evil! Anakin was very proud of them.

"Almost there," he said.

[thatwaslucky]

That was punctuated by one of the balls hitting the wall where Rey's leg had just been as she scaled it.

She was not great at doing it with a lightsaber in hand, but she tried to keep herself positioned against the wall with the Force while her legs pushed her up so she could grab onto the next handhold.

This was gonna hurt later.

[sith_happened]

Oh, definitely. "Move faster and stop deflecting the balls," he advised.

[thatwaslucky]

Normally Rey would have pointed out that she was going to get hit, but this time she just decided she'd shut up and do it.

She definitely got hit.

[sith_happened]

"But now you're almost to the top and can fight back!" Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

There was a pause as Rey focused, and then she deflected a blaster bolt away from her with the Force as she climbed, because that seemed preferable to getting shot right now.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said, grinning proudly.

[thatwaslucky]

She might not have been the fastest as she was trying to work out her concentration, but she did just fine as until she got to the top, shoving a remote out of the way with the Force just because that thing deserved it.

[sith_happened]

Anakin chuckled. "That's productive anger."

[thatwaslucky]

"That wasn't anger, that was earned," Rey told him, switching off the drones.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "Fair enough."

[thatwaslucky]

"Watch out below," she said, switching off the remotes from here.

[sith_happened]

Anakin smiled and stepped back.
