We're gonna flippin' do this!

[Rasu Gan]

For once the Master arrives before the student. It was a funny concept, one that had hardly happened before during the Jedi Master's lifetime. What a day this will turn out to be, she thought to herself, taking her position in the middle of the sparring chamber.

She had come her out of guilt. [member="Barinthus E`ron"] had been her responsibility since the boy's initiation into the Order and she had cast him aside as she had so many others, students and friends alike. Here she would make amends, maybe allow the young man to take out some of his growing frustrations, but from here on in, Rasu was ready to raise this young man to Knighthood, she would complete his training!

Placing both sabers in front of her, she sat into a meditative position, preparing to wait as long as necessary before the young man arrived to restart his training as a Jedi.

He was practically squeeing when he heard the news. That emerald skinned beauty who he had met when he was little had returned and the son of the grandmaster and one of the stronger jedi's in the order... Well he rubbed his hands together and was late because he was trying on different shirts. His robes were laid out but he was trying to find the right undershirt to match his pants and settled on a dark midnight blue shade while putting it on and rolling it down his chest. A smirk on his face before he was walking down the hall with his robes on and straightening his platinum hair as he came into the room and stood there for a moment before speaking. "My master, it is great to see you returns. Please tell me Alana is here as well, I've gotten all big since the last time I saw her and want to say hello."

 

[Rasu Gan]

Looking up as the Padawan entered the room, Rasu could not help but admire how much the young Jedi had grown. Already she could make out the resemblance off his parents, with Master Syn's facial features and Iella's startling hair. Rasu couldn't help but feel a pang of grief as she looked upon the son of her dead friend. However she did not dwell on that for long as the mention of her daughter brought her back to her senses.

"I'm sure she won't be too far off Padawan E`ron. I haven't visited her since I've been back, but I'm sure you'll see her around soon enough." The Jedi couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Barinthus, trying to picture her daughter's face at the sight of such a muscular beast. You definitely picked up your fathers genes, she thought to herself, holding back a laugh.

"Alright then enough talk. I've come to train you Barinthus and I need to see what you've learned. It's time for a sparring match. Are you ready?" With a flick of her wrist, she called upon the force, summoning both weapons to her hands, igniting them on contact.

He looked at her with he order of a sparring match and gave a nod of his head. Wanting to comment if she might have lost a step but thinking better of it as he dug in his pocket for the raining saber. Then he slid out of the robe and activated it with a snap hiss as the forest green blade came to life in his hand. A small look at his master while he moved forward with the blade out and spread his arms wide almost like a hug while he circled. "Alright then my master, lets have some fun." He didn't move just yet, focused and careful but giving off waves that he wanted to fight, wanted to brawl at least for fun before he was moving forward and spoke. "You know your shoelace is untied." His blade came to a two handed grip and she slashed downwards trying for power but also to test some reaction speed.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Rasu had to stop herself from laughing at the cheap attempt at a distraction. Too play along, hoping to make the match a little bit more fun, she gazed down at her shoes, noticing each set of laces tied up neatly. However she had been open to the Force all the while and had sensed the saber slash acting through Barinthus' arm. Making one elegant leap upwards, Rasu bounded over the green saber, listening to it hum as it passed through air underneath her.

"Nice try." she uttered through her cheeky grin. Still mid-jump, Rasu pushed out with the Force, hoping to make contact with the Padawan and send him back a few meters.

He felt it, that impact to his chest and throwing him as he tossed his saber and let it slide across the floor hopefully between his masters feet as she impacted and rolled twisting into a crouch. He had been expecting no more hoping she had lost a step but he was unsure if he was wrong. "Alright then." He was looking at her for a moment while rubbing his chest and dusting himself off before he ripped at it. Pulling at the saber hopefully behind his master towards his hand but not activating it to try and trip her."Thank you, it is great to have you back."

 

[Rasu Gan]

Landed gently on the floor, Rasu watched as the young man was flung across the room; his saber absent from his hand. Taking a few steps closer, she waited, watching with anticipation as her student reached out with the Force. Something didn't sit right with her, as if she had missed something quite important, but that thought passed as Barinthus spoke to her.

"Don't be thanking me too soo...?" she began to say before sensing a small object fly towards. With hardly anytime to react, Rasu cursed silently as she felt her foot slip under something cylindrical, breaking her stance for only a moment. If Barinthus was going to strike, he had laid out the perfect opportunity for a counter-attack. "Stang I'm in a bit of a pickle!" she muttered under her breath.

He looked at her and was moving as fast as he could with muscles moving under the form fitted shirt that looked more cat like then anything while he grabbed his saber and with a reverse grip slashed to try and bat his master across her waist as he tried to pull with his hand at her foot. He wanted to work to keep her off balance and going towards his kneecap which was dangerous but he had been taught to fight somewhat like his dad. Press the attack and work to keep them on the ground.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Rasu didn't even have time to witness the speed of the Padawan's attack. Her back tingled with danger sense and immediately she acted upon it. Leaping back once again, Rasu glided over the green arc created by the man's lightsaber, heat sizzling along the areas of her exposed back. A small smile appeared on her lips as she once again had averted the Padawan's attempt at an attack. However her smirk turned into a frown as she felt his hand latch onto her foot, bringing her crashing to the ground. Her elegant bound had turned into a clumsy fall and now she was again left vulnerable to another attack.

She was impressed so far, that much she would dare to admit. The boy she had once known had changed considerably, picking up on so many of her parents traits. However now was not the time to dwell on such things. Leaping up, Rasu flicked her saber towards the hand arcing towards the kneecap, hoping to prevent another embarrassing fall. "You've definitely grown Barinthus. Although I'm not breaking a sweat just yet." Without warning, Rasu leaped forward both sabers ignited to cross-slash along the man's chest.

Ah she was doing what he thought she would while he moved. His hand feeling the sharp strike of pain and he was lucky this was training.... That was a dangerous move and oversight on his part while he brought his saber back when she slashed at him. Bringing it to move and catch the blades in the middle while he was pushed back with a small nod of his head while he was holding his hand in tight to his side. "Oh that is a challenge."

A small one he would have to try and meet since he wanted to impress his master and hopefully by extension her daughter. His blade remained in front of him as he moved turning that pain in his hand into fuel, not rage but fuel to remember not to do that thing while he slashed low throwing the saber down to spin and try to strike her feet while it went on the floor under his control. Then his other hand shot out from his chest with a pus to try and bat her chest.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Not showing any form of reaction as Barinthus caught both her blades with his own, Rasu continued to push, weighing odwn with both weaopons on the young man. Barinthus showed no sign of faltering however and as she continued pushing on their saber lock, she noticed a small glint of determination appear in the boy's eye. Without warning she felt the shift in strength and found herself on the defensive. He does show great potential, she though as she broke the lock and jumped back a meter, just in time to witness the man's saber flying towards her.

Confused as to why the Padawan repeated an already proven failed attack, Rasu bounded over the saber. However she had been unprepared for the surge of Force energy that pummeled straight into her chest. Stunned, Rasu was caught full-force into the attack and was flung several meters back before catching her breath and flipping backwards out of the mental wave. Picking up her sabers from where they had fallen, Rasu watched Barinthus, more wary than before. He had improved greatly since their last encounter, it was time for Rasu to no longer hold back.

He looked at what happened and had a moment of surprise at that... he hadn't expected her to be caught offguard but a little cocky as it were now as he pushed forward picking his saber up and bounding quickly before he slashed with it speaking while aiming for her blade hands. "Think I might have gotten that one good lick in master, don't know about surprising you again so good." he knew he had went to that well several times to distract and catch her off guard but he doubted it would work again unless she made a mistake again. He was pressing it and pushed his strength into the slash.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Pushing aside her embarrassment, Rasu took a few short breaths as Barinthus bounded towards her. Now was the time to show him what a Jedi Master could do. She had allowed herself to be distracted, to be take advantage of but no longer. Hooking her blades back on her belt, Rasu closed her eyes and opened herself to the flow of the Force.

All around her sparks floated in mid-air, each representing the aura of one particular being. One bright spark lay before her, pulsing as the being controlled the current of the Force; Barinthus. Reaching out to this aura, she latched on, linking the pair through her force connection. Sensing his attack, Rasu shuffled to the right, appearing to not move her feet at all through the maneuver. The heat of the young man's weapon tickled her arms as they whizzed past her emerald limbs. Following through with her dodge, she swung her body round, left leg raised as she kicked out, her foot seeking contact with her students back.

He wasn't expecting that as she moved faster then even he could follow. Her energies lashing out and brush along his skin as he was glad to have the shirt on. He would most likely have all the small tiny hairs along his arms and neck standing on end. He was moving forward and felt the kick to his back as he rolled into it, his body curling up to raise his legs and he went to try and grab her leg with his legs. A strike from his fist trying to strike her leg bring her down to the floor. "Bugger."

 

[Rasu Gan]

As her foot made contact with Barinthus, Rasu continued through with the motion, barely missing the attempted leg grab by the young man. Taking another slow breath, Rasu, eyes still closed, delved deeper into the flow of the Force, making sure to stay as closely linked to the Padawan as possible. Their connection was the reason she was able to anticipate his next move and as a result Rasu was prepared for the fist being flung at her leg.

Jumping forward with legs arcing out, Rasu's foot landed gently on the Jedi's outstretched fist and allowed his motion to carry her backward, bouncing off from the blow. Turning backwards into a flip, Rasu landed back on the ground, opening her eyes as she searched for some form of reaction from the Padawan.

He saw that and was laughing to himself as he stood there for a moment a little dumbstruck. He knew using someones attack to make a defense but damn and he was moving while she was touching down. Scrambling and charging for a shoulder tackle while his body sprang up do attack, fisticuffs and the like while he had his saber and used it in a strike quickly sidestepping to increase his momentum and speed for a short burst as he had learned from his father to try and slash her shoulder and back.

 

[Rasu Gan]

Rasu's eyes hardened as she caught the blow of the shoulder charge directly in her side. Calling on the Force, she softened the impact, ensuring she faced minimal damage and reducing the effect of Barinthus' attack. Gritting her teeth the Shi'ido barely had any time to bring her own lightsaber to collide with the green blade of her students, locking gazes as he brought his saber to bare on her shoulder. Stepping to the right, Rasu dodged the first strike, catching the second attempt on her back with her own weapon. Sparks lit up both opponents as Rasu jumped over the man's head, breaking their lock.

Lashing out with an attack of her own, Rasu wrapped the Force around Barinthus' waist, before pulling the boy close to the humming embrace of her twin blades.

He was feeling it, that moment of satisfaction that was quickly doused as his master showed why she was the master and his blade was going up with her jump over his head. He had managed to get her for a brief moment but that would again be short lived as he felt something latch onto his wrist and was moving him closer towards the two blade. He waited for a moment trying to think of what he could do while he was moving his head back and forth a little until he smirked.

She might have his wrist but she didn't have his saber and he quickly spun it in the palm of his hand for a second to catch it and work to hold it against her blade. Some small thoughts going while he wanted to maintain the saber lock and spoke... One thing he could try. "So I was thinking of asking Allana out when I manage to find her." He hoped for the distraction to distract her enough while he stood there and tried raising his knee to impact the bottom of her saber and both break the lock as well as possibly send its blade closer to her face.... a gamble but hell why not.

 

[Rasu Gan]

As there blades locked, Rasu felt a sense of calm wash over her, bathing her in a torrent of soothing serenity. This all came crashing down with the words that left Barinthus' mouth. Her mental defenses crumbled like sand as her connection with the Force faltered, leaving her mouth agape in shock. Pulling herself together, she cursed as she found that she had given the young man the opening he was looking for.

Pain erupted along her face as her saber was knocked from her loosened grip, the weakened blade grazing the side of her emerald cheek. Feeling her skin burn from the impact, she called on the Force to push the young man away from the Jedi Master, her hair flowing in streams from the sheer force of the telekinetic attack.

"Uh oh" He had done it... several ways as she both took a hit to the cheek and then he felt the force impact his chest and the air was rushing out of his lungs. He spent the time flying back across the room as the saber went from his hand to the floor deactivating and he gasped. Impacting the ground as for a moment he was trying to remember how to breathe and what his name was. The hazy feeling that something had hit him like a mack landspeeder was there while he moved his head gulping in greedily bursts of air. She laid there just laughing for a bit as he held his hand out for the saber to return and had it prepared in his mind if she came slashing at him to defend dramatically. "Something I said."
