daddy daughter field trips [for organa]

[morally_cryptic]

True to his word, Anakin brought Leia along on his next mission. The Outer Rim Sieges were aptly named so the trip wasn't exactly a short one, even if military ships tended to have faster hyperdrives than civilian transport. Not to mention they had priority in the spacelanes...but the rules of physics still applied and interstellar space is vast and the planet they're headed for is quite far out on the Rim.

So he had also promised a sparring session, to test her skills. He'd intended for it to happen before they left Coruscant but of course things never work out exactly the way one intends.

While the Resolute was a large ship, she was also full of troops and varying ships and other war materiel. That meant there were few spaces large enough to properly accommodate Jedi lightsaber sparring sessions save one of the hangars. Which all but guaranteed they'd end up with an audience but there wasn't much that could be done about that.

"You still up for this?"

[ooc: i just now don't remember if anything else really happened with that after that]

"That's because I can't think of any Jedi I've ever met who preferred to carry a blaster alongside a lightsaber." He's not saying it shouldn't be done, more just agreeing that it'd be unusual. He would definitely agree with the knife thing though.

"And we've got some time to kill still before we get there. You should get in some more practice. With remotes this time."

( ooc | ...i totally forgot about that too, oops. i don't think anything else happened beyond that, though? )

"Precisely why the element of surprise would be working in our favor," she points out.

Running through more drills, though, she's less enthusiastic about in spite of agreeing with their necessity. Naturally skilled or not, she's still a novice, and will benefit from any sort of practice she's able to get in before engaging in her first official fight with a lightsaber.

"As long as you're not shouting critique from the sidelines."

[ooc: i don't think anything was explicitly said. maybe rex and fives are off quietly de-chipping clones as they get the opportunity]

He couldn't resist a small laugh at that. "I'll whisper the critique from the sidelines. It'll make it more of a challenge for you to figure out what you're doing wrong."

Standing, he holds his hand out to her, mischief in his eyes. "Of course, I'd be happy to demonstrate the best way first, if you think you can keep from swooning.""

( ooc | let's roll with that. sounds like something they'd do. and I'M FREE! summer workshops aside, no more work until august! \o/ )

The princess rolls her eyes at that swoon comment, but takes his hand anyway, shaking her head.

"I won't argue that I need the practice, but you do realize this isn't my first battle," she reminds him. "It's just my first battle with a lightsaber, is all. If I can't handle it, well then, I'll just have to improvise."

A humble shrug of her shoulders. She'd gotten herself out of stickier situations before, and while she might not have Han to watch her back, there was no doubt in her mind that her father would be watching it in his place. Regardless of whether he could actually see her or not. Leia would certainly be doing the same for him, even if he didn't really need his quasi-trained daughter keeping an eye out for him.

He gives her hand a gentle squeeze and offers up a smile as they head back toward the hangar. "Nothing against improvisation. Sometimes it's even better than planning."

Everyone knew plans fell apart once you actually started fighting anyway.
