Camp gym (Salle)- Thursday before classes

[solo_sword]

While it would be nice to have a summer without worrying whether or not any relatives would be listening to the radio and not feeling checked up on, Jaina also realized that she was losing the two people who helped her with her lightsaber training, too. This was definitely a downside, and she new that it just meant she was going to have to make it a point of getting down here more and practicing herself. She thought she might get a lecture if she was all rusty come fall, after all.

Making sure to stick a note on the door to give warning that there was someone back here with a nice live weapon that was known for chopping off limbs, she set up three remotes to start firing, and ignoted her lightsaber to start deflecting the bolts that were going to be coming at her at pretty high speeds.


[Yes I did have to go into old posts to make sure the salle was there. Open, as I have a couple hours before work still, but then it'll be SP till this evening PST. Fair warning.]

This time around Cassandra could actually read said sign, and given the discussion that had been had all those months ago she knocked at the door loudly, hoping that it would be heard.

[solo_sword]

Jaina didn't hear the knock, but she did sense someone at the door, so she shut down her lightsaber, giving her a chance to catch a breath, and called, "Yeah!"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra opened the door a crack and poked her head in, "Hi."

[solo_sword]

"Hey," she said, not sure if she'd ever met the girl before. "Did you need the space?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra almost grinned, remembering their one meeting back in the fall when she'd entered without the knock. "I can come back later if that's easier."

[solo_sword]

"No, it's fine," she said, shaking her head and clipping her lightsaber to her belt. "I'm just getting some practice in, that's all."

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra offered a nod. "You're pretty good," she pointed out, watching the way Jaina held herself and her deactivated weapon.

[solo_sword]

"I'm okay," she said honestly. "This is really nothing compared to some other people I know." Namely every male Jedi she was related to.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

That drew a shrug. "That's why you practice." The tone was approving.

[solo_sword]

"That's the point," she said with a wry smile. "Are you practicing today?"

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra nodded slightly. "Every day. Or I start to lose my edge even more than not having someone to fight all the time makes me."

[solo_sword]

"What kind of training?" she wondered.

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

Cassandra held her hands out to show she was unarmed. "Today I was planning to do hand and foot techniques. I spend most of my time on them, but if you wanted a partner...?"

Luke saw the note, grinned, and returned a few minutes later with his lightsaber before rapping against the door.

[solo_sword]

Now that presence Jaina definitely recognized. She shut down her lightsaber but didn't bother yelling towards him, deciding instead to issue a silent welcome.

Luke walked in and gave her a bright smile. "I figured I should get in another session before heading home," he said quietly.

[solo_sword]

"I'm glad you did," said Jaina, and she'd actually been hoping he would show, really. "When do you leave?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Next Friday morning," he said. "Early." He shook his head. "Dad gave me the shuttle as a graduation gift."

[solo_sword]

While she was a slightly surprised, she was also a little jealous. Since last night she'd been wanting to get back in her own X-wing, though. "Guess that means I can't steal it anymore, huh?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke grinned. "No," he said, "but I give him about two weeks back without transportation before he starts trying to build something that flies."

[solo_sword]

"Or worse, modify a car to do so," she agreed.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Rory'd kill him," Luke decided, moving closer to the center of the mat. "How's your training been going?"

[solo_sword]

She waved her hand in the universal gesture for so-so. "I'm keeping up with it regularly. I kind of want to see if Mara's up for having me visit, just to see where she thinks I am, though."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke couldn't stop the smile from crossing his face. "Tell her I say hi?"

Dork.

[solo_sword]

Jaina just barely managed not to shake her head and smile. "I will. And she always says hi back, so there you go." And the hi back was usually included with a lot of amusement and teasing of that version of Luke.
