Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey hadn't actually used a lightsaber since Exegol. It wasn't like another new threat was going to pop up right now, and she was taking some time. She just focused on other things in training, which she was doing pretty lightly anyway. And then late last night she'd ended up taking her half-finished lightsaber apart completely and scrapping the entire design for it. That one belonged to a different Rey, a Rey she'd decided she wouldn't be.

Today she was doing some drills, but the lightsaber she used was Leia's. She'd used it once, and hadn't really fought with it, so she was focusing less on the movements- she had those down- and more on the weapon and how to use this particular one, like she was making some mental notes.

"Oh, this is a big set up," Jane said, looking around as she entered the warehouse.

"That's definitely one way to describe it," Rey said, finishing this one last move before stopping. "Hi."

[needsacatchphrase]

"I was dragged to a beach and beat up a little, so it's already better than that," she only half joked.

[thatwaslucky]

"You were dragged to... what?" Rey asked, concerned.

"Oh, Valkyrie didn't want town to get damaged in testing out how many of Thor's powers I got," Jane replied. "She was pretty nice about it."

Which was hard to tell with her sometimes. A lot of the time.

[thatwaslucky]

"So it was a nice beating up?" Rey asked.

[needsacatchphrase]

"You could say that." Things got a little wonky with Asgardians. "She's coming next weekend! You'll have to meet her."

[thatwaslucky]

"I should," Rey decided. "Who is she to you?"

[needsacatchphrase]

"I'll go with a friend," Jane said with a firm little nod.

Valkyrie might say a sister. But that was for a sadder reason.

Anakin poked his head into the warehouse. "Rey?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah," she called, in the middle of her forms. She didn't stop, it was literally why they were both here.

[sith_happened]

"Looks good," Anakin said, smiling proudly.

[thatwaslucky]

"Good to know I haven't lost it these last couple weeks," she joked.

[sith_happened]

"Not at all," Anakin said. "You seem very grounded in the forms."

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm afraid I probably fell apart a bit in a real fight," she admitted, though you'd never know it looking at her now.

[sith_happened]

"Well, that's different than practice," Anakin said. "There's a lot of adrenaline and sometimes panic."

[thatwaslucky]

"And me really being determined to kill someone," she said.

She wasn't happy with herself, but she could be honest.

[sith_happened]

"In a 'this needs to be done' mindset and not a 'yay, murder' mindset, right?"

Had to check.

[needsacatchphrase]

"You undersold this a little," Jane said, waving once she caught sight of him.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "So you like it?"

[needsacatchphrase]

"It's better than getting my butt kicked on a beach in Iceland," she replied with a laugh. "That's for sure."

[sith_happened]

"I have some rocks around here to throw if that would make it more familiar?" Anakin offered.

[needsacatchphrase]

"No," Jane said, raising a finger to stop him. "No, no. Not on the first day."

[sith_happened]

"Second day, then," Anakin said, nodding like Jane had agreed to that.

[needsacatchphrase]

"I will throw my hammer at you," Jane warned.
