The salle, Friday afternoon

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

After classes, Dinah headed down to the salle with her eskrima, ready to work out with Tahiri and pay her back for the light-saber demonstration.

Also, counting the hours 'til the cruise. Yay, vacation!

[for two, but open for others, as salles are]

But Ben had spun to follow her, a silent dance between the two of them with only the sound of their weapons to remind him that this wasn't a game. He sped up their tempo, quirking his eyebrows at her to check that they weren't going too fast.

Tahiri caught the glance and gave a quick shake of her head, then reached out in the Force to grab her staff from the side of the room and send it flying toward him.

[momslilassassin]

Ben's eyes lit up and he yanked the staff out of the air and into his left hand.

Ben was nowhere near good enough to fight with two weapons and he knew it. He tossed the staff away. "Projectiles?" he asked, laughing.

And then launched out his right leg towards her stomach.

"It was there," Tahiri shot back good-naturedly. She reached out with one hand and pushed upward on his leg with the Force, hoping she wasn't another split second too slow to sidestep the attack.

[momslilassassin]

Ben used her momentum to tuck his attack into a neat little back flip.

Show off.

[weetuskenraider]

Yeah, but he was her showoff.

Also, she executed a fairly flashy forward somersault of her own (a little sloppy on the descent though) to follow him, blade extended.

"Nice," Ben complimented, trying one of his grandfather's patented spins.

[weetuskenraider]

"Whoa!" Tahiri had not been expecting that, but she stepped in to meet his blade with hers. It was like a dance, and she was getting into the flow of it now.

[momslilassassin]

"Granddad taught me that," he said with a grin, slashing and parrying as they moved around the room.

[weetuskenraider]

"I think I might want to learn that one," Tahiri answered, flashing a smile at him. She felt a little more comfortable doing this now, confident enough to try a tricky kind of uppercutting slash.

[momslilassassin]

"First you need to learn how to make your robe puddle in this badass pile behind you," Ben teased.

[weetuskenraider]

"After Heroing class this week, that idea scares me," Tahiri half joked, and now it was her turn to aim a kick at his midsection.

[momslilassassin]

"Just stay away from jet engines," he said, reaching for her foot to shove back against it.

Dinah was impressed by both of them, really, and had to suppress an awww at how well they played off each other.
