Combat- Tuesday- 2nd period- Class #14

The students were back in the gym today, where Jaina still wasn't in the happiest of moods but was going to get through class anyway.

"First off, sorry about last week. I had a slight case of being sixteen. I'm over it now," she began. "And with that over with... One of the most important things you need in combat is information. Whether it's someone you're facing off against randomly, you wonder who they are and how good they are and what kind of moves they might use next. If you're in a battle situation, you probably go in with some kind of information about what you're heading into and what you're facing, and then you have to expand on that when you get there. If you're in an open area you'll realize you might have to find cover, or if there's a lot of things around you there might be something to use as a weapon. And if you know who you're facing, you always stand a chance of doing better, or even getting the jump on them.

"So I'm going to tell you a little bit about your final. It's going to be in the Danger Shop, and you will be facing multiple attackers in a city. You'll be allowed to work alone or together, and you'll be able to use your weapon of choice, or none at all. If it's something we haven't covered, just let me know ~~handwavily is fine~~ so I can make sure it's programmed in. Whatever you choose, that's who you're dealing with will be using. And that's all I'm giving you." Hey, it was more than she got going in a lot of the time.

"Remember how we've paired up by skill level? For the rest of class I want you to pick someone outside of your skill level and see if you can adjust for it. Please no one give each other black eyes."

Listen, talk, fret, be grateful you're not being taught by a teenager...

Pick someone not on your level and don't kill each other.

Alec would have an easier time playing down to someone's level if he hadn't runed up for training this morning, but he'd do his best.

That's what she's there for!

"Thanks for the detention," Cade said with a sincere smile.

Jaina gave him a little smile back and said, "You realize no one's been running it, though, right?"

Just in case he thought he was going to get turned into a newt there this weekend.

"Kind of disappointing," Cade said. "School full of rule-followers."

Or not-getting-caught-ers, which seemed more likely.

"I think we might just be really lax on the rules instead," Jaina pointed out.

"That seems more likely," Cade said. "Can I just tell people I got detention and not have to do it?"

"Sure. You earned it when I was teenage and trigger-happy," she said. "Tell everyone."

Shh, she'd secretly been disappointed she'd never once given detention, too.

Cade grinned. "Thanks."

"Anytime," Jaina replied. "So... you said a lot of things last week."

Of course she had to address the Luke stuff somehow.

Cade suddenly looked a little wary. "Just karking with you."

She shook her head. "Please. You have to know by now that I'm smarter than that."

Cade pursed his lips. "Maybe," he admitted.

"So what's your issue with him?" Jaina wondered. Especially since she'd gotten the impression she was a lot older in Bantha and Cade's time than she was now, if she was even still alive. Not that it would shock her if Luke was still around and kicking...

Cade shrugged. "There's no Jedi when I'm from. He started them up again. Figure if he'd been better at training, maybe they wouldn't all get wiped out."

That was fourteen year old Cade logic at work.

Well, that was depressing.

"So you're mad because he supposedly failed at something long before you were even born that has nothing to do with you?"

"...yeah," Cade said.

Let's go with that, sure.

"Still smarter than that," Jaina said.

"I knew a couple of Jedi," Cade said.

"Friends?" She'd just keep asking questions since she knew he was hedging.

Cade nodded. "Yes."

"I'm sorry," Jaina said, completely sincere.

Cade shrugged. "It's been a few years and now we're being ruled by a Sith Lord, so that's...you know, what it is."

Karking Jedi.

"Doesn't really make a difference in my life."

Lie. HUGE lie.

It was gonna be interesting in about a year when Jaina was hearing about the Lost Tribe in her galaxy and seeing just how bad she wanted to freak out about this...

"If it didn't make a huge difference in your life, you probably wouldn't have needed to vent," Jaina countered.

Wait until Ben was dating one...

"Maybe I just like to complain."

One brainbreak at a time.

"Maybe, but I know hedging when I hear it. I've done a lot of it myself," she shrugged.

"Well, war," Cade said. "It got ugly."

"And you don't like me prying," she assumed.

"You have enough going on in your own time," Cade replied.

Jaina shrugged again. "It's been quiet and I've been living conflicts ahead for years."

"Just because your other friends karking suck doesn't mean I'm going to," Cade declared.

That was actually sort of sweet, Cade.

"You sound like my cousin, only with more cursing," Jaina said.

Cade snorted. "I'll sure."

"It's true. Anytime there's something that comes up, there's a round of 'You have enough to deal with' and then I get partial information. Which is fine, I'm not going to make anyone talk if they don't want to," Jaina said. "But it shouldn't be because you're trying to spare my feelings."

Honestly, she'd have let him off the hook by now if she didn't get the impression he had a lot to say.

"I'm sparing mine," Cade replied. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay," she nodded. "But if and when you do, I'm willing to listen."

"If I ever go insane and feel like oversharing, I'll find you," Cade promised.

Yeah, I'm apparently gonna be a day ahead this week. Which'll suck come Friday.
