Tomorrow morning?

Works for Anathema.

Okay. 

Sounds like a plan, then.

Lily isn't ready for bed when dinner ends, so asks to be shown where good places to practice fighting stuff are, but after that she's pretty sure she can just entertain herself.

There's some firing ranges and drill halls that'll work.

Thanks.

She sets to getting used to the lightsaber a bit in the drill hall when it's empty, so she's familiar with it, and tires herself out practicing that and various combat-relevant Force powers until she's ready to sleep.

She sleeps very, very poorly, and she's up early the next day, returning to the drill hall to practice with a single-minded focus until Ellaita and Anathema seem ready for training.

"...Did you even eat breakfast?"

"...No."

"You gonna be okay with that?"

"Think so. I'm not hungry. And we can stop for lunch."

"All right."

"...So. Sword fighting. I have a lightsaber so some of it will be different from like a cortosis sword? Since the blade doesn't have a distinct edge. But probably a lot still applies?"

"They're shaped basically the same, still."

She nods. "How do I start?"

Ellaita looks to Anathema.

She steps up. "Well, first, I'd like you to get used to the motions with something less dangerous. A practice blade, ideally, but even a sharp cortosis blade is safer than a lightsaber."

"Okay."

To Ellaita: "Do you guys have practice blades?"

"Let's check the armory." Conveniently located not too far off.

Turns out they do, buried under a bunch of other stuff, covered in dust, and looking about a hundred years old.

Works well enough for them. 

Anathema gets Lily started on some practice motions, soliciting some information on Force techniques while she does so.

She explains the bits of hiding yourself in the Force, first. She's aware there's multiple ways of doing this - Master Anakin used to frame it like being a trickster spirit when she was a kid, so she'd be here or there unpredictably like the wind, but nowadays she doesn't need a metaphor to get her brain to interact with the Force like that, so she just intends to be hidden. 

Lily mostly thinks of it like - the Force connects things, and because it's a way of transmitting information across distances like sound or sight, people viewing you in the Force are - observing you, like they would if they saw you, which means you can lie. It's more like changing your voice and bearing than like changing your appearance. You can act like someone not worthy of notice if you're in a crowd, or you can be very quiet and small and move slowly if you don't want to be seen at all - but that can make suspicious patterns in the flow of the Force if you're somewhere crowded. And you can change what your voice sounds like, and even pretend to be other people if you have a super good ear, so even if you're interacting with someone you can trick them.

Someone who has really good senses and pays attention might notice someone hiding even against just the landscape background, so if you have good senses you can try to blend into that background. Treat it like a crowd. Camouflage yourself. 

(She works through the initial sword exercises as she talks.)

Hopefully that makes sense to Anathema.

It... Kind of does? But she thinks she'll need to play with it more...

Sure.

Ellaita will grab a sword herself and try to think things through too.

Lily spends a bit practicing, getting the movements down until her muscles tire, then has an idea.

They could try hiding and finding each other? With the Force, sure, but with all their senses.
