He rushed out of her room. what just happened.
''I don't need you!'' she spat as he left the room. He couldn't meet his eyes with hers. Her hazel eyes were so deep. Like they were demanding answers for everything. Like they were judging for everything. But he couldn't help it.
you're becoming soft. you're leaving space for others to waste your time.
So he headed to the training room.
His mind went blank.
He called to his lightsaber and started his combat training. Never practicing the same method twice, he strode to aim for the best performance at the first time. do this and you win at yourself. be the best self you can be.
Breathe in. Get in position. Breath out. Strike. Breathe In. Turn. Breathe out. each breath he would let out a blow. It reminded him of the energy flow. It was important.
He continued training until the sun went past its peak.
He then felt her.
I cant stand doing nothing anymore. At least like this I might learn something. Her energy felt soft. Not aggressive.
He didn't change his position.
I will not train for much longer. He tried to not sound hostile either. He felt that she understood. She could not move fast, due to her injuries and weak muscles, but she headed towards the end of the room, facing the window.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Strike. Breathe in. Take position. Stance. Blow. Strike. Breathe in. Breathe out. Strike. Breathe in. change position. Blow. Strike. Breathe in. Breathe out. Strike. Breathe in. Strike. Another position. Stance. Blow. Strike. Breathe in. Breathe out. Strike. Breathe in. Take position. Strike. Strike. Breathe in. Breathe out. Strike. Breathe in. Take position. Stance. Blow. Strike.
Rey turned and was looking at him attentively. Her eyes followed his every move. A haze of light had been cast in the room from the after-midday sun.
Somehow, between the warm sun, bright blue sky, and that room with her sworn enemy training inside it, she strangely felt at peace for the first time in months.
