Private Anger Management

[Ghruna]

Aris Noble Zaiya Ceti

Ghruna looked forward to training more than anything else. She wasn't in a small cell any more. Weeks had passed since Ghruna first agreed to train under Aris.

Her own room with its private shower was still strange, no locks on the door but the constant weight of an ankle monitor a cold reminder that she was not truly free. Still, it was far better than the cell.

The training hall had become her favourite place. She lived for these long, brutal sessions, pushing herself until every muscle burned and her body ached with honest effort. Nothing else made the blood sing in her veins quite like this.

Ghruna rolled her broad shoulders, crimson braids tied back tightly, sweat already glistening on her pale skin as she faced Aris in the centre of the mat. The training blade felt good in her grip. She dropped into a ready stance, blue eyes bright with challenge and a fierce grin pulling at her lips.

"Come on then, pretty Jedi," she called.

"Hit me like you mean it now. I want to ache properly."

 

[Aris Noble]

She'd been smiling more every day, even if it was accompanied by the desire to hit and break things. Aris stood opposite of her, blade in hand as he watched. Unmarred, untired. His practically droid body made it easy for him to keep moving. They were basic drills now, the fundamentals of Jedi swordsmanship, to try and show Ghruna some form of discipline that a Jedi needed in some form.

Not that Aris thought she'd understand any time soon.

"Very well." He flashed a bit of a smile before stepping forward suddenly. Both hands on the hilt of his blade, and an overhead slash all in the blink of an eye. All to try and catch her off guard right away.

Hit me like you mean it now. I want to ache properly!

Of all the strangest phrases to hear coming from someone's mouth, that likely was one of the top phrases Zaiya ever heard. The Lovalla knight slowed as she neared the section of the training area she felt Aris's presence draw her to. There was never a day Aris would stop training. In fact, because he loved to spar and learn as many fighting styles and techniques, plus his love of sparring, it was normal for her beloved to spar and train his body to be the best it could be.

Tie it with his Epicanthix culture and an appreciation for others when they fight, the young man was always down to fight.

So who was telling Aris to hit them like he meant it to the point of wanting to ache properly?

It wasn't long before she spotted Aris, the Lovalla brightening as the edges of her mottled spots shone with a golden iridescence and her smile grew wider.

That was when she registered who Aris was sparring.

OH! It was Ghruna.

Smile widening, the Jedi Knight drew near, and when she got close enough, she brought her hand up and gave a big wave of hello.

"Hi!" She beamed, even as Aris moved to strike at Ghruna. "Oh looks like you finally are getting that fight you wanted!" she quipped to Ghruna -- oh hopefully Zaiya didn't distract her... right?
