Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was working on her jumps today. They were wider now, and the gravity around them was weird, but she didn't have any issue actually making the jump as much as she did trying to navigate the forces around them. She probably didn't need to worry about the effect gravity had on her muscles while attempting it, but she did, so she was trying to lean into the Force more and let that do the work rather than doing it all herself.

Plus, it was fun.

Anakin arrived after his class was over. "Have you mastered it yet?" he called.

[thatwaslucky]

"Funny," she called back, right before one of those jumps.

Which, those were going well.

[sith_happened]

"I wanted to check," Anakin said, laughing.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey didn't answer, focusing more on her landing, which didn't go badly. "I think I've figured out how to not kill my knees," she called.

[sith_happened]

"That's a very good start," Anakin said. "Try not to do them too much damage while I'm gone next week."

[thatwaslucky]

Rey stopped, looking down at him. "Next week?"

She'd been gone most of February, she didn't have the best sense of the calendar.

"The school trip," Anakin said, then gave her a smile. "I made sure there's no walls to climb this time."

[thatwaslucky]

"It was fine, we didn't break anything," Rey said automatically.

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "And I'm about 60 percent sure no one's going over a waterfall in a barrel this time."

[thatwaslucky]

"Where are you going?" Rey asked, jumping down, careful of her knees.

[sith_happened]

"Kenya and Zanzibar," Anakin said. "Hopefully no one I like gets eaten."

Which wasn't the same as no one, Anakin.

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't even know where that is, but I'm hoping it's not actually as dangerous as it sounds," she said.

Or at least if it was she might be kind of jealous.

"We're going to get to track lions!" Anakin said. "In a safe way, I assume."

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm sure you'll be happy to yell at anyone who does it in safely," she teased.

[sith_happened]

"It is why I go," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm glad you can always find something to do," Rey said. "I didn't realize I came back here just in time for it to get quiet."

[sith_happened]

"Is it a good thing or no?" Anakin checked.

[thatwaslucky]

"No," she said. "Maybe I'll go back home after work Sunday."

[sith_happened]

"But you'll come back."

Right?

[thatwaslucky]

"Yes," Rey smiled. "In time for work again. I would tell you if I wasn't coming back."

[sith_happened]

And then he would want to do something embarrassing, like cling to her boots.

He smiled back. "Good. I'd miss you."

[thatwaslucky]

That was going to get her through the next week.

"I'd miss you too," Rey told him. "But it's not happening anytime soon. I'm still going back and forth for the foreseeable future."

[sith_happened]

Anakin beamed at her. "You can tell them all about your new course."

[thatwaslucky]

"Finn already knows about it," she told him.

[sith_happened]

Anakin looked very pleased to hear that. "Really."
