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.

Home, maybe, but he doesn't know. There were so many rifters that'd left and never come back, and when it comes down to it he has no idea where the people who leave here wind up going. Rather than dwell on that, however, he pushes the thought to the back of his head and turns his attention to where Rey has gone, pursing his lips thoughtfully as he studies the pair of sabers.
"Look, I don't know how those things work, exactly, but I'm guessing they're balanced in some way, like regular swords. Is having to deal with that throwing you off, do you think?"
no subject
"I learned how to fight with a staff, and I've been learning the past several months how to fight with one blade. I could probably do a decent hack job, but if I lose my balance while fighting I'd be in trouble."
no subject
"Think I can see why that might be. Listen, do you have something that's the same sort of weight you can use as practice blades instead, or-"
He breaks off for a moment, snapping his fingers before pointing with at her with his index finger - which bobs up and down very briefly before he pipes up again.
"Hey, I've an idea that just might work. What about sparring with someone else? Could be having an opponent would give you a chance to feel find that balance, like you'd have to in a real fight Ah, if there's a way to fight with them so they don't hurt someone else, that is. I'd not particularly fancy being skewered by one of those, no offense."
