6th Transmission, Stopping to smell the Kibo...[Video/Action]

[Luke Skywalker has had an eventful few weeks, what with Anakin arriving, and breaking the news to his father about his rather dark future, not to mention the New Feather cycle. He'd patrolled the woods for newcomers, and spent many afternoons introducing himself to and attempting to help New Feathers get adjusted to life in Luceti. Not to mention the recent the blank...day from the last weekend.

That was beginning to be a common theme, blank days in his memory, and it was starting to be more than mildly disconcerting. Luke was genuinely starting to get angry at having his mind wiped by the Malnosso. To alleviate some of this, Luke decided that today would probably be an excellent day for exercise, and perhaps finding someone to train with. He'd talked to some people in the past about working on Jedi philosophy, martial training, and even meditative practice but due to the New Feather cycle, Anakin, and the confusion regarding the attack on the Battle Dome things had just not worked out.

He sends out a message to the village in Video form during the morning, before stepping outside to begin his own practice]

Good morning Luceti. I trust this morning finds you all well. I have a bit of a request. I would like to find someone to help me train today. Its been a while since I've had anyone to spar with, and equally as long since I've had an exercise partner. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I will be around Community House Five, so if you'd prefer, please stop by.

Moreover, if anyone is interested, I feel like today is a fine day for a hike and would love company.

[After his morning, he heads about his business in the village, stopping by the shops to pick up a few odds and ends like nutrient bars, a travelling pack, and some canteens.

Following this, he begins to make preparations for a rather lengthy hike, planning on heading out into the woods and just walking until he feels like its time to turn around. Why? Because he knows that he needs to relax and take time to smell the Kibo. Even if there aren't any Kibo flowers here. All the little things are starting to build up, and he can ill afford a tantrum of his own, having just prevented Anakin's explosion the previous week.

Its a fine spring day, and he does hope that someone will join him on his walk]

(OOC: Feel free to grab Luke pretty much anywhere. In the morning, in town, over the journal, before his hike, out on his walk, or really whatever you want.)

...I dunno about hiking, but I am planning an excursion to check out the wreckage of the Battle Dome later. Though, we can always do that later in the week.

Frankly? It sounds pretty fun. I haven't checked out the western lake too much, if you wanted to head there.

I'd be up for some hiking.

[After last night's little diversion and a few hours of rest well warranted and well earned, Adele is flipping through the journal for any posts by her favorite villagers. Nothing from Ben, save the recordings that started the chase, She's already spoken to Red, nothing from the Sand-Brat. But, Luke. Luke who seems...restless. With her? That's fine. She's nowhere near powerful enough to cause any real trouble. But a Skywalker? He needs a diversion, an outlet.

Easy enough for her to track him down in the village, dropping in alongside him as he walks through the village in the early morning.]

Morning Luke. [A quick smile, an extension of her consciousness to wrap around his in a friendly, affectionate embrace. The lingering sparks of anger were terribly visible; and she did her best to smooth them over without being obtrusive. it was much easier when she was working with Ben or Anakin, really.]

I heard you were looking for a sparring partner?

Alright, why don't we do that? I'd rather avoid the Battle Dome for the moment, I have a feeling there might still be droids lurking around.

I've yet to go out to the Western lake myself, so that sounds nice.

Excellent Rydia. Why don't you get ready, and we can meet up around noon?

[Adele's presence isn't exactly difficult to spot. She never failed to make an impression. The mental...hug...that she offered was met with a smile and an actual, physical hug.]

Good morning Aunt Adele. Yes, you hurt correctly. Why, do you know somebody who wants to?

[He wasn't afraid of the droids, especially since they didn't seem hostile unless attacked. Red being quiet and sneaky, he had a feeling he could slip in without much notice. But, the caution was warranted, and he wasn't very combat ready.

Red nods.]

You're probably right. Want to try this afternoon sometime? I have some business in town to do, and I need to get supplies.]

I'm certain my desires for a decent duel were expressed clearly in the snippet of the argument Ben and I had last night.

[The hug is returned, and the 'aunt' makes her laugh as it always does. Having a hand in Luke's childhood, helping him in any small way? Warms her heart to know.]

What do you say? It's been months since I've faced anything other than a simulation, but I might offer some challenge.

Sounds like a plan. I'll meet you on the edge of town around one?

One sounds fine, if we don't meet before then. I'm out and about, and you probably are too!

I suppose that you could use some exercise yourself. What would you like to spar with?

[He silently prays she doesn't say Lightsabers...]

Great. See you then.

[He goes about his day...until the appointed time when he does in fact wait for Red]

[He didn't have to wait for long--Red just had to run off to get better boots and food stuffs for the hike. Water goes a long way in any climate, and he had a feeling he'd be needing those snack bars and packages of salted meat later.]

Hey. Ready?

[She picks up on that quiet reluctance easily enough. And promptly ignores it, but not entirely.]

We could use one of the simulation rooms in the Battle Dome to duel without risk of injury. Aside from nobles with light-foils i haven't had a proper fight since...[Since Anakin, short as it was. Since she failed terribly. There's not a bit of guilt in that memory, not anymore.] I last sparred with a Jedi.

I wouldn't mind doing some sparing. Or even just a hike.

That sounds fine to me! I'll bring some food, since a picnic is a good way to end a hike.

Yep, lets get a move on.

[He's glad to have someone to walk with. Red always reminded him of home, and all the crazy adventures he'd had. Red was also one of the few people who knew about the events of two years prior, which meant he may have some inkling about how important keeping calm was for Luke.]

Alright Leonardo. What would you like to spar with?

We could use wooden sparring tools just as easily, you know. But if you want a lightsaber duel, the battle dome is really the only option.

[He picks up on the inflection in her voice, he's quite aware of her failure, but the dark times were rather difficult for them all. He does wish she wouldn't fault herself for that]

Great! You've been here a lot longer than me. Is there any place you think is worth visiting in particular?

[Wooden sparring blades would work normally, but one couldn't employ tràkata with anything other than a lightsaber, real or simulated. One of her less frequent tricks, but with Luke? She may very well need it.]

We could, but it isn't quite the same. And I am rusty when it comes to facing a proper Jedi. My Master would be ashamed.

Then, lets head to the Dome. I'm sure you're already prepared, and I'd rather not get hurt. I wouldn't want to shame your master. Whoever that might have been...

No one particularly talented or memorable, at least in regards to saber training. Most of our time was focused on developing my talents as a healer.

[Which had been uncomfortable and irritating at best, painful and frustrating at worst. Still. She had learned something of worth, in so much that she could use her healing talent properly. When she had a mind to do so. She shrugs it off and starts walking for the Dome.] And I sincerely doubt you'd be the one getting hurt Luke.

So you say. I know you to be a wily and crafty duelist, when you have the mind to be.

[That is to say, when she can stop fooling around long enough to actually try, or when she's not busy making trouble for Obi-Wan. He'd never quite understood why she referred to him as Little Skywalker, or his father as the Sand Brat, but for all her quirks, he did like her.]

Healers are rare, skilled ones even moreso. Never scoff at your talent.

The phrase most use is 'dirty cheat'.

[But it does make her smile. Her reputation among nobles notwithstanding, she knew enough of various saber forms to work around them and exploit their weaknesses should they appear. Not that it helps her much if she's manhandled around by the Force. She bats that thought aside as irrelevant. Ani was lost, but Ani was here, and in the end he redeems himself. That is all that matters in the end.]

So I was told when I was brought [Taken.] to the temple. Sometimes I wonder if I might not have been able to do more for the Order if I had remained.
