She wasn't early; Kyp was avoiding the meeting. In the time since the girl had hounded him for this meeting and he'd finally caved, the Jedi Master had been incraesingly wonderin what the hell was wrong with him. He was the most stubborn, obnoxious person he knew, he should have just kept on saying no. More than that, he should have just lied to her back when they were killing boggarts, should have smiled and said he relished every moment of it, that their faces didn't haunt him even now. It would have made things simpler; should would have hated him, and he knew how to deal with people who hated him.

He did not know how to deal with women who wanted to learn things from him. As was blatantly obvious by the way he and Jaina interacted ( ... )

"You're wearing a cape."

Which was the first thing she had noticed and was able to say, because it was a slightly ridiculous sight. Maybe not as ridiculous as a man wearing a rather large, powdered wig upon his head, but still... Immediately, Alyss lifted her hand to cover the smile that had followed her words, hoping to quell it before it became too noticeable. At least she hadn't laughed, something that would have been just the slightest bit rude.

Finally able to get control of her own facial muscles, she lowered her hand and shook her head at his question. "Eager in what way?" Alyss didn't believe that she was eager to be exact, but a thrill of victory was present in her. After all, she had gotten Kyp to not only agree to this but to show.

Part of her had this feeling that this wasn't exactly a common occurrence.

Kyp was and always had been aware of the fact that the cloak he wore wasn't exactly what most people would call normal apparel. Even if he had cared, he probably wouldn't have stopped wearing it - the garment was his, and it was one of the few possessions he owened that continued to retain any particular meaning for him. The smile she ws obviously hiding didn't bother him; on the contrary, it was probably the first time in a long time anyone had been so considerate. He wasn't sure what to do with that.

"It's a disguise," he said easily, observing her. She was dressed for this at least; he'd been half curious to know whether or not she was actually taking this seriously, or if it was just some sort of game. The possibility of the latter was still there, but if it was a game she was at least putting effort in. Kyp could appreciate that. "You're early," he pointed out.

If he were comfortable wearing what he was wearing, then nothing else should have mattered.

"Why would you be in disguise?" You couldn't exactly fight in a skirt, at least not with swords, and so why shouldn't she have dressed for the part? Had it been a game for her, Alyss simply wouldn't have showed up. She was not mean spirited, however, and meant what she asked for. The woman wanted to learn to better her fighting ability. "Maybe you're late," she argued, a small smile touching her face again as her eyebrows lifted.

So she had been early. Alyss bit back a sigh. She didn't want to seem too eager.
