[ Anakin is sitting on a barrel, it looks like it's painted entirely blue. He's in a course coverall, and there's many different dripples and dabs of paint in various colors. White and blue are the most featured, then black and grey. But there is some yellow and red sneaking in there. There's a fleck of the same blue on Anakin's jaw, and he looks a bit sweaty. ]

When we arrive here, we are assigned a city, an apartment, a job. How many of you have kept those arrangements? What made you change them? If you didn't change them, why not?

[ He rolled his shoulders back, and twisted a little, stretching his back out. ]

I know there's a fair few of us with lightsabers. I'd like to get a bit of a dueling club together, but first we need to hold some classes. So anyone who is Force Sensative and wants to join in, let me know. It can be privately. But I will be holding some basic safety classes first to make sure everyone leaves with everything they brought with them still attached.

[ And making her smile still can drive Anakin to antics. Anakin at least checks his hand for paint before he rakes his fingers through his hair with a little laugh. ]

I wanted a private space for class and practice, so I arranged to trade doing some maintenance on an outdoor adventure course to trade for classroom space.

[resoluteandunyielding]

Smart.

And what will this course entail?

[ Aside from, apparently, the many colors dappling her husband. ]

[kraythero]

At first, how to proper build a saber, rather than do so in a very stripped down manner. Make sure everyone knows what maintenance is required. And then lightsaber forms and combat, with them on safety settings so injuries are less of a problem.

[ Building things and fighting things. No big deal! ]

[resoluteandunyielding]

Are there enough of them to go around here? That people can learn on? Will it end up being more like demonstrations? Or is there a way to make some version of them in this place?

[ As little as she did know about that, and had learned from Anakin over their time together, she had a serious doubt in that. She was certain she would have already heard of it from him if it had been that easy. ]

[kraythero]

We each have one, grant it, we'll need to borrow from each other when it comes to learning about dual-wielding and saber staffs are very much not my style BUT yeah, we'll have to rig something up.

[ Who is going to end up with solder burns? ANAKIN IS GOING TO END UP WITH SOLDER BURNS. Eh well. ]

We could hold demonstrations at some of these imPort fairs the natives seem to like? For those who wanted to, I'm not going to demand someone to perform.

I...I don't think so. Getting the crystals is the difficult part and manufacturing crystals is very much a Sith art, I wouldn't know how to do it. Probably something Dark involved in it.

[ HE KNOWS YOU ARE LURKING JADUS. DARE YOU. DARE YOU. ]

[resoluteandunyielding]

It sounds like you've worked this out pretty well already.

[ The small steps and the large. Places to meet, things to study, things they might do further into the study. He only needs others to come join him, but Padme doubts that Anakin will have much trouble convincing others to come. There's always been that irresistible charm to him when he truly got focused on something and wanted those with him to be in on it, too. ]

[kraythero]

I have a responsibility to the others here right?

[ He's not pandering - he really does still feel the weight of bring a Jedi, even if most of it doesn't apply here. ]

Especially with something as dangerous as a lightsaber.

[resoluteandunyielding]

[ She'd never assume otherwise. If anything, for not knowing much of the secrets of the order more than she's learned at the Jedi's side when needed, or from her husband, she'd never expected less from him. It would always be who he was.

Even a universe away. It was who he was.
What he did. The things he believed in. ]

I hope that you get a lot of people then.
When are you hoping to first start?

[kraythero]

[ Always part of who and what he was. However hidden, ignored, or neglected. ]

A couple weeks. I'm really wanting to focus on those who are Jedi or who have some Jedi training at first but honestly anyone Force Sensitive. Because who knows who might show up here or what powers they may have.

[resoluteandunyielding]

[ She is pleased to see him finding his footing here, and there no surprise that it's in heading up something so sensible and largely overreachingly for the betterment of others under the same precarious circumstances he found himself in, as well. Safety for all those involved, on both sides, and vision on just how to cut through the problem. ]

If you need anything--

[ Though she very much doubts he will, with no reluctance or bitterness to that truth, because her belief in her husband's capability held no room for censure or selfishness. Only the gentle comment that if he found any stumbling blocks that needed either her ear in their private moments or that happened to fall in the realm that was more solidly hers than his, she'd always be there. ]

-- you know I'd be glad to help.

[kraythero]

[ He thinks he hasn't quite found his footing, but he thinks he's starting to find them personally. ]

You'll know I'd be honored to have your help m'lady.

[ Will he ever give up using that honorific? Probably not. It's as much about respect as it is about adoration. And acknowledging that she can help if he needs it. ]

[resoluteandunyielding]

[ There is the faintest flutter at the edge of her mouth, ever the too deeply ingrained habit of not letting her emotions show as freely as he did in any sort of public forum. But it's still there. For those who know how to look. Who know what even the smallest allowance beyond her calm, normal, appearing unfaltering exterior means. ]

Then, I suppose I shall leave you to it for now.

[kraythero]

[ He knows. He knows and he delights in being the case of the reaction, however small. It's something just for them really - the honorific given just to her and her reaction just for him. ]

Until later then.
