[Claire shows up exactly when she promised, looking just as uncomfortable and awkward as she did over the datapad. She stands off to the side and watches Anakin, not saying or doing anything to get his attention. It's been a long time since she's seen him face to face, and even if she tells herself she's ready to train, she's not sure how well this is going to go.

So she's very content to just watch a blindfolded Anakin show off.]

[notyourlight]

[Anakin stands up straighter, deactivating his lightsaber blade as Claire enteres.]

Myrkr.

[Once said the word brings the remotes to an immediate halt.

Smiling, Anakin walks over to Claire and clips his hilt onto his belt.]

Thanks for coming.

[Yep... still blind-folded.]

[regeneracy]

Thanks for offering.

[She rolls her eyes and snorts at the blindfold antics, and reaches up to tear it off of his face.]

Done showing off already?

[notyourlight]

[The smiles broadens when she removes the blindfold for him.]

Give me some credit. I could've taken my shirt off too.

[driftingtides]

[Kairi shows up early because she's a morning person, of all things, chipper and bright and ready to go. She walks into the big space slowly, carefully, eyes wide as she looks around.

She finds Anakin quickly, staring as he all but dances against the bright flashes from the training remotes. After he finishes with one sequences and goes still again, she can't help a small gasp.] That's really good!

[notyourlight]

[Having sensed Kairi come in Anakin says the word that brings a stop to the training program. He pulls the blindfold down and grins a little sheepishly.]

Thanks.

[He deactivates his lightsaber and walks over to her before holding his hand out to her.]

Anakin Solo.

[driftingtides]

I'm Kairi. [She shakes his hand firmly, grinning.] Can you teach anyone to do that?

[notyourlight]

[He glances at the ring before turning his attention back to the girl in front oh him. He gives a little shrug.]

To a certain extent. Anyone with the Force can do it with the right amount of training and determination.

Because I'm a horrible human being?

[excessivehubris]

[He'd heard about lightsabers and he's been up to his elbows reading about the Jedi and Sith so needless to say he's been reading about lightsabers. They represented an interesting connection between the Jedi, Sith and Force and color him curious.

Added bonus was the chance to meet this face twin he kept hearing about.

So Charles navigated his way down to the given location and followed the hum of the saber moving through the air. He shielded himself as he came through the door, leaning against the wall and quietly watching what was, indeed, an impressive display.]

[notyourlight]

Charles Xavier.

[He says it simply after bringing a stop to the program and pulling down the blindfold.]

I'd heard someone who looked like me was walking around so I did some digging in the network.

[It takes him a second to realize he's being a little rude so he deactivates his saber and walks over, offering his hand.]

Sorry. Name's Anakin Solo.

[excessivehubris]

[Curious, a mental note to himself to practice more with shielding by using the Force. He takes a moment to lift his mental barriers up to a maximum level as he steps forward with a warm smile and reaches to take the younger man's hand.]

Yes, so I've been told on a more than a few occasions, a pleasure to meet you. Please, don't let me interrupt your training, it was quite fascinating to watch.

[notyourlight]

[Feeling Charles put his barriers back up Anakin taps his fingers to his own temple.]

That's not how I knew. I'm not that rude.

[He grins warmly and a bit arrogantly.]

I was using my heartbeat to establish a sort of sonar so I could visualize my surroundings without my eyes. I'm just very familiar with the face.

[gobbammit]

[This is Gob's chance for glory. He will become a Jedi, like he was always meant to be, or something. It will be like that video George Michael made, only not as lame. Because the lightsaber will be real and not a broom. And because Gob is far, far cooler than George Michael.

He slams open the doors dramatically.]

I'm here.

[notyourlight]

[Please excuse Anakin while he, intentionally, bats a bolt into the door right beside you Gob. Yeah. Stare at that scorch mark. Stare at it...

Anyway, Anakin's in now in the middle of one those moments where he stands perfectly still.]

That's a rather astute observation. Clearly you're more advanced than you let on.

[gobbammit]

[...oh, that could have been his head. Gob lets out a rather shrill and... manly, very manly shriek and jumps to the side. No one told him this Jedi training would be so dangerous!

But oh, talking. And was that a compliment?]

Yes. I'm very advanced. You look a little young to be Yoda.

[notyourlight]

[And with his best Yoda impression... under his breath.]

Judge me by my age do you?

[Ahem... don't mind him while he stops the program and pulls down the blindfold.]

Can I help you?

[nonerfherders]

[Leia leans in the doorway watching this. She's not entirely happy about your outing Luke out like you did, though she's not nearly as pissed as he is and can understand how it happened. Plus she's not at all sure she wants to--is ready to--be doing this. So her feelings at the moment are mixed.]

[notyourlight]

Your feelings betray you...

[At the sound of his voice the droids attack, sending Anakin into another dance as he bats away a volleys of bolts. After a brief, cacophonous moment Anakin's blade slices a probe in half.]

Myrkr!

[The word to end the simulation is said through clenched teeth as the droid clatters to the floor at his feet. He whips off the blindfold and deactivates the saber before standing in the middle of the ring.]

You don't remember the last time you were here, do you?

[nonerfherders]

[Leia raises an eyebrow. She doesn't hide her feelings generally, so having them known isn't exactly a betrayal to her mind.]

No, I don't. Though I've heard I was. Why?

[Future son or not, this is his territory, so she'll let him take the lead]

[notyourlight]

[He clips his saber to his belt before crouching down to pick up the pieces of the probe.]

I guess that means we should discuss what I should call you from now on... again.

[He looks from the droid to her with that lopsided grin so reminiscent of Han's.]

Ambassador Organa seems a little cold don't you think?
