Private Sparring Confessions

The sparring room that Isabsel had selected was a bit further back of the training facility. Not many Echani passed by the halls. The purpose of this was that Isabsel wanted to show Lily what she had learned over the course of her time here on Eshan. It was a chance to for her to display her skills. In true Echani fashion. Though Isabsel could feel her nerves starting to get the better of her before the match even started. Nervous was an understatement for what Isabsel is feeling. No she had never been more concerned about her fighting ability til now. She turned for a moment to look at Lily, before then igniting her new blades. She then walked to the opposite side of the room, to assume an offensive stance.

"Listen Lily, I do not want you to hold back on this sparring match. Fight me like if we were still enemies." Isabsel said. She did want a good match afterr all. Nor did she want Lily to start of slow. For Isabsel's plan to work, she would need to go full throttle

Following Isabsel, she knew that her friend was keen on getting into a fight. There was something apparently that Isabsel could only share through combat. Lily was not concerned or confused, for many Echani including herself, there were many things that could only be expressed through fighting. Taking the jacket she had on off, Lily settled the jacket and her heels to the side. Not wishing to fight in them. The jeans were a little restrictive in movement but there was no real chance for Lily to switch into an outfit that was appropriate for fighting. And it wasn't like she would always be in attire that was perfect for a fight.

Lily grinned as she shook her head, "I will be fighting you as a fellow Echani, not an enemy. That is not how Echani communicate. But that does not mean I will be holding back, I never hold back." Lily explained as she began to stretch her limbs and bounce on the spot to warm her muscles. Getting her body in to action for fighting. "This is a fight about being able to communicate something you did not wish to share with words." Lily breathed in deeply as she knew this was something important to Isabsel so wanted to do this right.

Snapping a front kick forward, Lily launched into the attack right away since she could tell that Isabsel was wanting her to be the one to start the fight between the two. Lily did not hold back, using her natural power to give as hard of a kick as she could before throwing a hard jab towards Isabsel after.

Isabsel felt a little silly, immediately getting corrected by Lily. Already off to not that best of starts in trying to explain herself in true Echani fashion. No sooner than she got herself ready, did Lily launch her attack. Isabsel normally wouldn't have seen that coming, but managed to block the jab. Isabsel's feet was pushed back from their original position, showing that even though the blow was absorbed, the force was still there. Lily was still physically stronger than Isabsel. But Isabsel did not want to strong arm Lily no. She wanted to sure how well they complimented each other in a fight.


Isabsel would pushed Lily's arm out, to create an opening. The woman would slide to then grab a hold of Lily's legs with her own. A slide tackle grab, trying to pin Lily onto the mat quickly before the Echani could react. Speed should be Isabsel's strong suit. Lily could tell that Isabsel was immediately going at full force as well.

Lily didn't think it was silly or a poor start in being corrected. Lily had been raised Echani and surrounded by Echani and their culture until she was 18. Isabsel had not been raised in that environment, she had not benefitted from the ideology being instructed as she developed. It was understandable to make the errors and Lily held no disappointment or annoyance to that. It was only an issue if someone refused to learn or grow from the errors. Life was always going to be filled with errors and mistakes, it was how one handled such obstacles that Lily always felt was more important.

Seeing Isabsel absorb the strike was impressive and Lily knew this was going to be a fun fight. She felt the attempt to take Lily to the ground, turning the fight into a grappling match between the two. It was interesting but Lily was just as comfortable grappling on the floor as she was fighting on her feet. Both allowed her to show off that she was not just someone who was strong physically. Safely falling back onto the mat, Lily immediately took advantage of the situation and reversed the attempts to pin her down. The Echani was not just strong but she was a lot faster than one might assume by the looks of her.

Lily was showing her body was built to fight, built to move in a fashion that seemed unlikely for her. A form of deception though she viewed it as more being underestimated by her opponents.

Isabsel gasped. Her arm had been firmly pinned by Lily, the other woman's legs keeping her down on the mat. Isabsel struggled, but quickly realized that Lily was much stronger than her. She couldn't be defeated this early! This whole plan would be fruitless then. Isabsel tried to remain calm, as she logically tried to work this out, even if the feelings of uncomfortablness continued to grow. The woman would then push with as much strength as she could to lift Lily's legs off of her. Not fully off but just enough for her to slide out.

Her arm would still be pinned, but she positioned herself behind Lily. Isabsel would then attempt to put Lily into a chokehold, bringing her pinned arm up to Lily's neck. Of course not trying to actually choke her out, but just attempting to keep her locked in place.

Lily could feel the tension, the desperation within Isabsel to not give up so quickly, that something had not yet been communicated with Lily. It was clear this was something that was crucial to the fight, that time was needed for Isabsel to express what she wanted. That Lily couldn't rush this out but at the same time, she didn't want to hold back which was against Isabsel's wishes. Lily felt her legs being lifted up and Isabsel sliding her way out, it was a strong effort from the other Echani and Lily needed to allow it to happen to manoeuvre herself into the next position in order to counter the attack coming from Isabsel.

Realising the pinned arm, Lily knew it would not help and she needed to be able to move herself as freely as possible. Feeling Isabsel go instantly for the chokehold, Lily reacted quickly and gripped the arm tightly with her hands. Lily rose upwards and lifted Isabsel with her. Position her back leg between Isabsel's two legs, Lily prepared herself to throw Isabsel of her. Creating some more room for the pair of them and shift from the grappling movements and return to the punching and kicking. Something that allowed for more expression in Lily's mind. Allowing Isabsel the chance to reveal whatever it was that she was holding back, that was burning inside of her.

Though Lily held her suspicions about what it was.

Isabsel felt Lily throw her off, breaking the chokehold. She rolled across the mat, springing herself back up. Now it was the time. At least Isabsel hoped so. She would charge Lily, making sure to dodge any incoming blow before, then grabbing her. An arm around her waist, pulling the other Echani close. Not in a way to grapple her. But in tentative care. One that gave off respect and admiration. Isabsel leaned in close to Lily, as if she was going for a kiss but then pulled away. She spun Lily back to the other side of the mat to let her process what happened.

Isabsel's face was red, both from the sparring and what she just confessed. She simply walked over to grab some water, sipping it. Isabsel gave off the vibe that appeareed vulnerable, like she was opening herself up for the possibility of having..happiness. But she was also nervous.

Before Lily knew what was happening, Isabsel moved in close and held Lily in an intimate embrace. Almost leaning in to kiss her and there was a flicker of surprise in Lily's eyes. She hadn't thought about the fact that Isabsel would hold an interest in Lily in that way. It felt silly to not have thought about it but there had been so much going on for Lily and plenty for Isabsel to be dealing with that Lily didn't even think about romantic entanglements or crushes would be formed. But Lily knew how brave and difficult it must have been for Isabsel to open up in that regard. To share herself that openly and Lily wasn't going to make Isabsel regret the decision to do so either.

Especially since Lily wasn't even sure if Isabsel had the chance to express such emotions and feelings before. Lily swallowed and then walked over to where Isabsel was and could see the vulnerability in the way that Isabsel held herself. Lily pulled Isabsel into a tight hug, pressing her body tightly against Isabsel's. "I am guessing that I am the one that you wish to become the bodyguard for." Lily whispered softly into Isabsel's ear as she continued to hold the hug. "Well, you will have your work cut out for you since I am going to be a Jedi that is constantly going on the frontlines and getting into dangerous situations. I hope you realise that." There was a soft laugh from Lily's lips before she slowly pulled back from the tight hug.

"I want you to be happy, and that cannot be dependent on whether or not we are more than friends, but know that we will always be friends. I am not going to let you out of my life." Lily stated, caressing the purple hair that Isabsel had now, "we will just have to see where things take us in the future." Lily was still young, still a Padawan, still understanding herself and what she wanted in the galaxy. So she always knew that there would be a time where she would want to feel more settled but right now that was not what she desired. For now, she simply wanted to have fun.

Isabsel took a moment to process the information. Granted Lily caressing her hair was making it rather difficult. It felt comforting and nice. Isabsel remained silent for a few minutes longer before taking Lily's hand, the one caressing her hair. She placed her other hand ontop of Lily's as she brought it down from her hair. There was a smile on Isabsel's face as she then looked Lily in her eyes. Were they always a pretty blue? Like the ocean?

"Lily, I know you're going headfirst into danger. After all, I never pegged you to be the more subtle type. That was always me. If I wished to not be in danger constantly, I would go looking to be a bodyguard for someone else. Like a noble or something. But no, I rather have your back out there on the field." Isabsel began. She took a deep breath before then gently dropping Lily's hand. Then she reached out to caress Lily's hair if allowed to do so, mimicing what was done to her.

"My happiness, isn't dependent on that. Even just being around you makes my day better. The cycles I spent here on Eshan, made me realize that. That I..actually wanted you around. Once I realized that, the more I began to..appreciate your..physical attributes." Isabsel said this last part blushing. "Even if you eventually decide to not become more than friends with me, I will ensure you are safe out in this galaxy. That is what I wish to do, Lily."

Lily nodded her head, "I figured you might have accepted the risks. I just wanted to be plain about that fact. I am figuring things out in terms of what I desire to be as a Jedi and the path that I want to be taking in life. But I know there is a chance I will be leading missions and constantly fighting on the frontlines. Pushing the Sith back. Pushing the Imperials back into retreat." She was not sure where the future might take her but Lily knew that she was going to be risking her life plenty, and there was more of a chance she would die in battle than retire in peace.

Feeling the fingers in her white hair, there was a relaxation that Isabsel wasn't only seeking an intimate relationship. Lily was finding herself on dates with a couple people, wishing to explore the fun of a young life but when it came down to later in life when she wanted to settle. Lily did not wish to lose friendships over the decisions to end the more intimate elements that people were currently desiring.

"I will always want us to be friends, Isabsel, that has never changed. And you are an attractive and fun person to be around, so I can't deny that those things do not intrigue me. I am just surprised by your feelings, since they are new to me." Lily stated, not wanting to give the idea that she was not interested. It was more that she was still understanding things. This was news to her and not something Lily had expected. And Lily knew she needed to be careful since Lily was helping Isabsel find her place in the galaxy after the messing separation from her sisters.

Lily did not wish to make that more difficult.
