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.]

Moving quickly, she swung to block, using extra force to try to knock him away as she wanted to keep her head.

Luke used the extra push to tuck into a flip and bounce away.

[solo_sword]

"Nice," she said honestly. She was good at that sort of thing, but he had always been better- shockingly, of course. She took a step forward, seeing whether he was going to attack first or force her to.

Luke grinned. "It stopped me from ending up in a couple pieces on the Death Star," he said, "so I practice it a lot."

[solo_sword]

"I just always thought it was fun," Jaina said with a little grin.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"That too," Luke admitted. "Certainly better than getting shot in the ass by remotes."

[solo_sword]

"Or your legs sliced off," she said, since that's where she usually employed the move.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"That is definitely not on the agenda," Luke said, just before slicing down towards her leg.

[solo_sword]

Not wanting to be too predictable, she stepped back out of the way of the blade, lifting one leg up to kick his side.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

The leg caught Luke squarely in the side and he tumbled over, turning the fall into in a controlled roll a second later, then came up with his 'saber in hand. He'd been surprised.

[solo_sword]

Jaina was just happy it worked, especially against him. While he was getting back to his feet, she was getting back into a good position to handle the attack she was sure was coming.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke paused only to blow his hair out of his eyes before charging at her again.

[solo_sword]

She brought her lightsaber up, trying to block him straight off. Not that she didn't have it coming.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

The two weapons clashed with a distinctive crackle, and Luke settled himself into a comfortable sparring rhythm, waiting to see how long it would take Jaina to change their tempo.

[solo_sword]

Jaina told herself she could be patient, except the impatient gene ran on both sides of her family and therefore she sucked at holding off. It wasn't long before she was speeding up her own movements, trying to force him to do the same.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke smiled and sped up easily.

[solo_sword]

She concentrated as hard as she could, watching his movements and trying to anticipate what he was going to do before he did it.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke was watching her eyes and listening to the Force, then abruptly changed the speed of their movements, spinning around and aiming for one of her hands.

[solo_sword]

She moved just fast enough, changing the angle of her hand at the last second to block a bit awkwardly.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Good," Luke praised. "That move lost me a hand a while back."

[solo_sword]

"And I'd really like to keep mine," Jaina said, drawing back just enough to change her angle to something more comfortable.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I'm not that bad a sparrer these days," Luke said. "You'll walk out with all of your parts, I promise."

[solo_sword]

"Doesn't mean I'm not going to be careful," she pointed out. And she really wasn't perfect and she knew it.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"As long as you're not too cautious in the real thing," Luke said.

Someone had trained with Anakin too long.

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, caution's not usually my strong suit," she admitted.
