These scars of mine [open]
WHO: Rey, Padawan, and open
WHAT: going through the paces in Kirkwall
WHEN: Throughout Justinian
WHERE: The Gallows, Lowtown,
NOTES: if you would like a custom starter, hmu on plurk or discord!
1.
Just because Obi-Wan is gone, doesn't mean that Rey's training ends. She's spent some time speaking with mages, having learned about "Force Magic" she is studying what she can of it, to see if that helps with her learning at all. The execution seems somewhat different, but she studies it all the same, with a few books spread out in front of her in the Gallows library, her crumpled translation cheat sheet next to her even though she's gotten better at reading the words by sight, some still trip her up from time-to time.
Padawan is asleep behind her chair, a solid presence which has become comforting, much like the lightsabers weighing on her belt and the staff leaning up against the table next to her.
2.
Something that is new for Rey is the second lightsaber she now has to practice with. Obi-Wan had left his behind, and it seemed like that was for a reason. However, she'd only just been learning how to fight with one lightsaber, so two-handed was a bit of a challenge. Often she can be seen out in the courtyard training area, both lightsabers ignited as she tries to adapt what Obi-Wan had taught her into two-handed combat.
The result is she falls a lot, and drops the lightsaber in her left hand more often than not. To her credit every time she falls she gets back up, and every time she drops her weapon she retrieves it, and tries again, shifting her stance or holding the blade differently.
Padawan sits on the sidelines, watching with interest, but keeping her distance. She knows those blades are nothing to get up close and personal with, and anyone who approaches will get a white mabari in their face, making sure they aren't a threat to her charge.
3.
Walking through the Lowtown markets is almost like the Niima outpost, except more warm and welcoming. Not everyone seems happy to be there, but for the most part there isn't the amount of suffering she used to see on Jakku. People have enough food and water, they have mostly adequate shelter. They are able to sell things for money rather than trade them for food. Maybe they're saving up for better lives, or they could very well spend it all on food. Either way, they have those choices.
Rey is on a mission today, looking for clothing. Her few outfits are getting worn, and she has enough coin to buy something new, so she is looking through what the Tailor has on offer, not really looking for a custom-made item. She's been hemming her own clothes most of her life, she doesn't mind taking in something that might not fit perfectly.

Thankfully, though, she's become a little more prudent about self-care, and it's while taking a break to stretch and look at something other than dodgy printing in candlelight that she notices a familiar face in the library with her. Blinking a few times as though needing to make sure she hadn't simply nodded off, Hermione looks down at her work before taking a few moments to set it all neatly into her messenger bag so she can pick up right where she left off, and then gets up, quietly moving over towards Rey.
She doesn't want to startle the other girl, so she stands nearby until she's noticed, taking a moment to curiously tilt her head as she looks over what Rey's working on. "I thought you'd told me that the Force and magic are two separate things."
no subject
"It isn't, really. Unfortunately I'm without a teacher now, and some of the principles are similar, I think?" She's kind of running at it blind. "I figure it won't hurt to try to study magic, at least. Even if it may not help with the parts of the Force that aren't blunt force like what's in this book." Which is what most force magic seemed to be, here.
no subject
But she's more tactful than to bring up such a depressing subject, or at least too tactful to remain on the subject, and so she looks down at Rey's book again, trying to figure out just what it is she's studying. "If it helps, I haven't really mastered magic here, either, which is impeding my own magical growth. But Thedosian magic has helped me understand my own abilities a little better, once I could find the common threads between them, so perhaps it will do the same for you."
