Session One
Coruscant
Left, right, duck, sweep. Step back, repeat.Clumsy, yet determined, Thurion had been at it for hours, working drill after drill without incident, with only one break to split up the countless regimes. During this time he had indulged his love of blue milk, grateful for the respite. Now his tiny hands were curled into fists, raised in guard against an unseen opponent. His desire to make Asha proud was unflinching, unwavering. Over the past few weeks his training regime had increased substantially, due to Asha's belief in his ability. He was very capable for his age, quick to learn and grasp new concepts. It had been almost a year since the pair had met on Pelagon, and how he has changed, from the scared little boy who knew only despair. She was very proud of the progress he had made, of his commitment to the Order and the Galaxy at large.
Even for one so young he had achieved so much, set aside all prejudices for the sake of others. During the past year he had befriended two of the most unlikely individuals the Order could throw at him, a wild-child who had been brought back from Endor by Jaxton Ravos, and a Sith-girl that had been brought in by Syn with the hopes of bringing her to the light. Both of these children he had welcomed with open arms, casting off any judgement he might have had of either. Infact, she had noted just how close he had come to both, and his devastation when the Sith-girl chose to leave. Asha still hadn't had the heart to tell him of her descent back into darkness, following the Invasion of Metalorn... Nor did she think she could, his wound with regards to Kära was still raw.
Jab, side step, parry, lock. Push back, step aside, repeat.
By now she could tell that his energy was waning, beads of sweat were collecting on his brow, yet still he was locked in steadfast determination. His drills were coming to a close, and when she monitored the time she realised he had lasted longer today than he had before. Another achievement. Finally she held up a hand, and smiled in his direction. "I believe that will be enough for today, Thurion. You may rest." With that she offered out a towel and a flask of blue milk, and to the side were some healthy-yet-energy-boosting foods for him to eat. "You did very well, every day you work harder, and it is paying off. How do you feel?" The Knight moved across to the side table, and sat down to wait for him to join her, so they could discuss the session as a whole.
