And out.

Permalink

Time to go see a baby who is slightly less baby.

Permalink

Has Maul left her suite?

Permalink

He has not. Still perched on the bed where she left him.

Permalink

She introduces them to each other (as 'Darth Maul' and 'Darth Salacis'), then says: "You'll work together as my apprentices."

Permalink

"It'll be fun!"

Permalink

Maul is... less immediately enthusiastic.

Permalink

Tiny smile. "Maul, Salacis will be helping to train you as well, as the senior apprentice."

Permalink

He nods. "Understood."

Permalink

She smiles and flashes a thumbs-up. "It'll be fun."

Permalink

His return smile is more a baring of teeth.

Permalink

"Let's put you through your paces first, though."

Permalink

Maul stands obediently.

Permalink

To the sparring area, then, in the part of the estate that houses the barracks and training facilities of her security team. 

Permalink

How will they be going about this?

Permalink

They can start with a spar. Hand to hand, no weapons except their bodies and the Force.

Permalink

He shucks his shirt and begins stretching.

Permalink

She doesn't need to strip any - she's already wearing clothes she can move in - but she starts stretching as well. 

Permalink

When he's warmed up, he takes position in the ring. His stance is very classically Sith, an old style.

Permalink

She mirrors him in her opening stance - though she wasn't really using a classic style when they fought earlier - and waits.

Permalink

He gives it a five-count, then attacks.

Permalink

She lets him - weaves aside at the last moment, not a move from this form - strikes at his shoulder - 

And begins asking questions. 

History questions, to start. 

Permalink

He's not very learned in history.

Permalink

She skims through topics until she finds something he can answer - while never letting up her attack on him. 

Permalink

He's most educated in practical subjects, ones with immediate relevance to fighting or infiltration.

And he's cool enough under the pressure of the fight to keep answering.
