Frustration

Her green lightsaber crackled loudly as she disengaged from [member="Romi Jade"]'s own vibrant blade. A strand of her hair fell from the meticulous and overengineered bun that sat atop her head and adhered itself to her sweaty brow. Morning light bore down on them from the floor to ceiling viewports. The view would have been breathtaking, if she had any breath left to take.

Many a morning had been started like this when Romi was on Corellia. Though Lisza herself would never be considered powerful enough to be a true Jedi, she held enough power and control over the Force to be considered at least a Jedi flunky and with the war with the Imperials looking to be more of a certainty than a possibility Romi had doubled down on teaching Lisza the basics and then some of "Jedi combat" and basic force powers.

She was wearing a black training bodysuit that was casually loose on her torso but tight to her legs and arms. The latest from one of Tandrando Arms' civilian athletic lines, they looked regal enough to be Jedi training robes, but sporty enough to look proper on the intergalactic sporting stage.

"Do you have to swing so hard? Its barely seven," she grumbled in between quick, shallow breaths. They were in a circular room that served as part of Lisza's office suite. In the center was a retractable holo table display and retractable chairs. She often used it for meetings with large groups or for presentations but when it wasn't in use Romi had seen it fit to make this their easily accessible training room.

Romi jabbed her lightsaber toward Lisza. They both shifted from defense to attack, and through a myriad modes of each. Romi structured their session with the objective of not doing damage, but forcing the other person to prevent damage. This was all just a crash course anyway -- to get her use to handling the weapon at least.

Romi laughed sharply and swung her blade at the slender energy rod opposing her, and she dropped back two steps.

Heh.

"Sorry...it's sort of natural at this point" she started to pace sideways, "You'll get use to it." At this point it was natural for Romi, the forms she practiced required a lot of physicality on her part -- she didn't always turn it off.

"You should watch your footing...being too planted to one spot could actually work against you. Move around a bit." She motioned with her head, "You should be acting. Not reacting."

She nodded, signaling for the Quarth to attack her.

She nodded and began pacing opposite Romi. Acting and not re-acting...The Jedi had bounced between these for her entire life. The Jedi of the Republic started reactive and quickly shifted towards active, the SJO were incredibly reactive but troubling reports of their military boom was starting to change her thinking about them...

"Not very Jedi," she mused, taking a step forward and lashing out with her training saber from the right.

"Very you."

While Lizsa effectively did what she was asked to, a simple beat attack would swing the blade wide and off its intended course. Romi normally would've darted forward spit her opponent with a lunge -- she was open. But, the Jedi didn't.



Lisza Starseeker said:
"Not very Jedi,"
Eye-roll.

It's always the non-Jedi commenting on the Jedi and their philosophy, "You should focus more on actively thinking on how to not leave yourself open than on Jedi philosophy -- I'm here to teach you the basics of lightsaber combat in relation to the threat of conflict, not talk about the matters of what's Jedi or isn't. Enroll in the Academy if that's your wish...."

Romi chuckled sharply, "But seeing as how adversity is a constant in conflict, you definitely should be acting and not re-acting, consistently working towards diffusing an already volatile situation as quickly as possible. You've drawn your blade...you better be prepared to use it."

The Jedi flicked her weapon, as some sort of challenge. "You're a Politician. Put that crafty thinking to use."

[member="Lisza Starseeker"]
 
Romi deflected her strike easily, almost without thinking. The prowess of a Jedi Master still amazed her even now. Lisza adjusted her hands around the hilt of her lightsaber and she took the challenge, or was it bait? It didn't matter. She came at Romi with a slash in retaliation.
