About Time {Aliclair - Ranah RP}

[Aliclair Austjor]

Ali gave a final smile and continued to her on the YT-2000 Talon after they exchanged a few more words then Ranah dismissed herself to tend to her duties.

> Few Month Timeskip <

A lot had happen within the months. But, what mattered to Aliclair most was that she was home. With new scars? Of course. Lessons to learn and events to push past and heal. Some wounds won't ever heal. But, the ones that could is what the she-padawan would work on. Returning back to the Coalition after a delivery mission, the small clicks of leather boots echoed the hallways she walked. The sounds of something familiar caught Ali's trained ears and her head turned toward the sound. Curiosity peaked her bloodline, and she turned her wandering to the sabre training area. She turned the opening to the room, and blinked her non-covered eye, as her right was covered by a small scarf to hide her scar. Ali watched Ranah train with the upmost endurance. But, mistakes that would cost her on the battlefield. But, surely the padawan knew that? She decided to stay back for now, crossing her arms, and holding her tongue.

Ranah continued her spar, yeah she made mistakes that was why one trained. Failure was a very effective teacher. Her skill with the Lightsaber was Basic but closer to advanced level than basic. The Sparring droid went for a direct slash at her heart. Ranah Jumped and flipped over the droid (Force Jump) and had landed on her feet, once on her feet she slashed the droid at the head. She did not remove its head as it was a training lightsaber but it hit the sensor for the droid to act like it had just lost its head. The droid powered down as Ranah powered down her lightsaber she took a few steps for a towel and wiped off her face it was then she sensed something familiar. She turned around and saw Ali standing there watching. She smiled and greeted her

“How much of that did you see?” before she could answer “Not my best work but that’s why we train right?” she paused again and before she could answer that question “ How have you been? ”

Her head slightly tilted as she watched the fellow Padawan train. Her footing was offputted, her stance, stiff. Her eye following her as she went back and forth. Ali couldn't help but to smile lightly. Soldiers were custom to pushing themselves, and Ranah showed some habits die hard. Her training halted when she struck the droid and it shut down, in a way of admitting defeat. As it had been defeated.

Blinking again when Ranah's eyes met hers, she slightly dipped her head in greeting. "Lucky for you, not too much of it. Not all training sessions have to be flawless." she said while reaching back to reach inside her pouch locked onto her upper thigh, taking out a small metal flask of fresh water. Cold, thanks to the type of metal it was made of and it was frozen a day prior. She approached Ranah with the flask extended toward her. "I'm alright. Healing. As we all are. How are you?" she asked with a slight headtilt.

[Ranah Jansen]

She took the flask and took a swig, the cold clean water was soothing as she could feel it spread down her throat and to her core. She handed the flask back to her.

“ Healing, most of my injuries have healed ankle still bothers me a bit” She paused as if considering her next words

“I escaped that Sith by the skin of my teeth, it was evident to me she was more experienced and trained in the Force than I am, but I think when it comes to fights I am more experienced but still we both got pretty banged up and I am determined the next time if there is an occasion I will be prepared as you probably could feel in the Force and with your eyes you can see I’ve learned a few new tricks”

She did not consider the encounter with the Sith a complete failure but as she often was told Failure was an excellent teacher
“ Otherwise I am doing alright, just training and studying, the Jedi have some interesting history I am hoping to explore in more detail at the enclave. ” her expression changed subtly at the next sentence

“I am told I am leaving for Kashyyyk soon truth is I am all packed as I don’t have much, Pellan has been assigned to some super secret mission, and Im told the Instructors on Kashyyyk would be able to give me the tutelage I require.” Whether or not she bought the council’s reasoning she did not express. She walked over to one of the bleacher seats and sat down.

“ I’ve been to Kashyyyk a few times when I was in special forces , I have good relations with the Wookies It will be good to be among them again but I cannot help feel like im being reprimanded or punished, I trust in the council’s decision but maybe its just the timing”

She did not realize how physically tired she felt as she had sat down for a bit. Just then she wished she knew the technique that would wash away her fatigue. But such an ability right now was beyond her capacity

“ Hows training with Master Kenobi?”

[Aliclair Austjor]

Ali listened to Ranah speak of her own injuries, and even glanced down at the bandaged ankle. The Sith were ruthless, even crazy at some parts. She should know.. Having survived the Belly of the Beast. Pocketing her flask to its original holding place, she took Ranah's words to her head and began thinking. A far more experienced she-Sith... Ali wondered if she was talking about Kita Ikari. Mixed feelings with that Acolyte. But, she refrained from asking. Wookies always peaked Ali's interest. All that fur, and the ability to communicate with others without the need of words but rumbled and bellowed. But, that was the blueblood talking.

Following her steps, Ali decided to sit on the ground with her hands resting on her legs, looking up at the feminine. "The job of a Jedi is never done. When one mission is complete, five more come." she chuckled softly. But, it was true. War waited for no one, and with the opposing sides constantly at eachother's throats and attacking places. It was hard to get a moment of peace.

At the mention of her Master's name, Ali couldn't help but to give a small, genuine smile. "It's well. He's a fantastic Master. He takes advantage of the fact I learn things quick. Slipping lessons in places where I wouldn't even think of. Surely you have a Master now, yes?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

[Ranah Jansen]

Ranah grinned

“Good teachers have a tendency to make anything a lesson, but no I have not been chosen as anyone’s padawan, I am wondering why if that is part of the reason I am getting sent to Kashyyyk” She shrugged. It was true her drill instructors and other military teachers did that tactic often. When she got a Master if she ever got picked as a Padawan she would probably get that with the Jedi as well.

She laughed at about the five more missions “The Galaxy needs the Jedi” she said simply, serving was something she liked to do, first with the Galactic Alliance and now training to be a Jedi. She did not know what her fate would be after or even if she obtained the level of Jedi Knight. One could only hope.

She did not fault the Jedi for the mild neglect they were stretched thin. Maybe her fortunes would improve on Kashyyyk.

“ I had never faced a Sith before ” she began “I don’t think I had ever fought as hard as I had, and at that time all I had was introductory training, this woman was more trained but seemed to lack field experience, which is where I had the advantage. If it weren’t for a good Astromech droid and my ship I wouldn’t have been able to escape” She had been looking at the ground when she said this but then looked at Ali.

“That’s why I train so hard, and diligently, not for next time but a dead Jedi doesn’t do the galaxy as a whole any good” There probably would be a next time of that Ranah was certain.

“I couldn’t even tell you her name only that her lightspear had a silver blade” She remembered that because it had been unique.
