"Can we do something other than meditating now?"

Permalink

"Do you have something in mind?"

Permalink

"Lightsabers!"

Permalink

She laughs. "Lightsabers are a ways out, I'm afraid, but we can start you on some of the katas."

Permalink

"First steps count!"

Permalink

"A good thing you're warmed up then." She takes a different stance. "Start like this."

Permalink

She copies her nearly exactly, especially accounting for different limb lengths. 

Permalink

"Good." Elesse gives some minor corrections, then begins the sequence.

Permalink

This is more fun than meditating, so far, and Anakin settles more and more into a calm, pleased mindset.

Permalink

Another data point. Elesse makes a mental note.

They can go as long as Anakin wants, more or less.

Permalink

Pretty long - she doesn't tire easily, and will still be in the mood to move around two hours later. She'll be flagging by four, though, if Elesse steps up the intensity enough. 

Permalink

Which she does. Need to find her limits.

Permalink

She gets her second wind very easily, with only a short break. After that - another hour, but her attention's drifting - a sixth hour can be coaxed out of her (and that's on top of the time they spent stretching and meditating earlier), and at that point she flops face down with an exhausted mumble.

Permalink

(Elesse has been quietly drawing on the Force to sustain herself.)

"Done already?"

Permalink

"Mmhmmmmm..."

Permalink

"As first days go, I've seen worse. Come on, you need to do some cooldowns."

Permalink

"....Mmmmrph."

Permalink

"You'll be too stiff to move tomorrow if you stop here."

Permalink

Grumble sigh.

She pushes herself back up. 

Permalink

And gentle cooling off stretches.

Permalink

And snuggles afterwards?

Permalink

Elesse can carry her to get restorative drinks and snacks, how about?

Permalink

Even better! Anakin's suddenly both very thirsty and very hungry. 

Permalink

Well, let's see about fixing that.

Permalink

The snacks here are really yummy, too.
