Rey's warehouse- Tuesday morning

[thatwaslucky]

Things hadn't exactly gotten easier after the weekend, though Rey at least thought she was doing a decent job faking it, even if she was quieter and prone to jumping for distractions. And today she was sort of sharing that, since Silver had agreed to come watch her train.

Even if with all this new information she felt a little like training was setting herself and everyone else for something terrible down the line, but she hadn't quite gotten around to talking about that internal crisis.

"So," she said, once she'd let them into the warehouse. "What would you like to see me do?"


[For the pirate!]

"The last thing is terrifying," Rey admitted. "I've almost fallen on my face a few times. But I like a challenge."

[long_memory]

"I know you do," he said with a smile. "And I am sure you are dexterous enough to avoid falling completely on your face."

[thatwaslucky]

"We'll see. It might ruin today if I need the clinic," she said.

[long_memory]

"It'd be exciting," he teased. "But I have more faith in you than that."

[thatwaslucky]

There was the briefest of pauses at that, and maybe she'd really needed to hear that, teasing or not.

"Would you also like to see me get shot at or anything while climbing?"

[long_memory]

"You know what? I'll pass on seeing you get shot," he said. "Something about that doesn't appeal to me."

No kidding.

[thatwaslucky]

"All right," she told him, going in for a kiss. "I'll see you from the top."

[long_memory]

"Good luck," he said, kissing her. Maybe if she was busy with wall climbing he could smoothly ask her about the weekend without it being too obvious.

Rey smiled, and pulled a crate over for him with the Force in case he wanted to sit.

And then she went over to the wall, where she had to do a little hop to reach the handholds so she could start pulling herself up and find her footing.

[long_memory]

"Thank you," he said, sitting down on the crate. "There's no way I could distract you too badly, right?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Why, are you planning to try?" she asked, making her way up the wall.

Enjoy the view.

[long_memory]

Oh, he was enjoying it. "Just checking to make sure I don't need to sit in silence."

[thatwaslucky]

"You can talk," Rey assured him. "Distraction is part of my training anyway."

[long_memory]

"Makes sense," he said. "I talked to Anakin the other night, apparently his ghost hit him with a stick?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Really? I didn't hear about that," she said.

Which was a shame, Rey would have loved to meet Yoda.

[long_memory]

"Yeah, it was one of his old teachers, apparently," Silver said. "Didn't realize Jedi teaching involved being hit with a stick."

[thatwaslucky]

"Might depend on the teacher," Rey said. "I only ever got hit by a stick by Luke once."

In his defense, it was funny.

[long_memory]

"Did you have it coming?" he teased.

[thatwaslucky]

"No,," she said, but admitted. "I was silly about something in my first lesson. And he has a sense of humor."

Which she hadn't gotten to see enough of then.

[long_memory]

"The opposite of Anakin's teaching style?" he asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh no, he's definitely got a sense of humor about it," Rey told him. "But mostly... I don't know. Luke didn't want to train me so it's hard to compare."

[long_memory]

"Why didn't he want to train you?" he asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"He trained Kylo Ren before he was Kylo Ren, and it didn't end well. He didn't want anything to do with the Jedi after that. Including me."

Which, not that she'd thought to ask when he knew about her, but maybe that explained why she'd scared him so much.

[long_memory]

"But he did train you," Silver said. "So you must have changed his mind."

[thatwaslucky]

"His training was about why the Jedi were wrong and the Order should die." Oh, this actually hurt now. She was really glad she got to watch a wall when she talked. "I left after a very big fight. A couple of them, really."
