Tatooine
The rest of the trip to Tatooine was fairly uneventful. After the kerfuffle Kit Fisto and Sara rejoined the rest in the cockpit where Senthil could almost sense Anakin's anxiety. Soon they were landed and Sara got to work on their advanced communications array.
"Anakin, I'm sorry I wasn't more...open-minded about your visions," Obi-Wan said as Anakin readied the small speeder-bike that was stored aboard the ship. "And I do hope you find your mother."
"Thank you," grumbled Anakin then he drove off.
Knowing that he wouldn't be of any help setting up the communications array, Senthil asked A'raan if he wanted to spar.
"Sure, anything to help prepare for the surprise 'quizzes' my master gives me."
"We can sharpen each other," Senthil said lacing his words with positivity. Then, just to make sure A'raan knew Senthil had his support, he added, "Just so you know, I don't agree with the way Dark Woman trains you, despite her supposed success rate."
A'raan didn't reply but took off his outer robe, drew his weapon, and saluted.
Senthil similarly retrieved his lightsaber, saluted and took a strong two-handed grip on his lightsaber, igniting it to reveal its aqua-blue blade.
OOC Roll for Init.
OOC: 20 (roll) + 1 (Init mod) = 21.
Despite being more than ready A'raan was able to lunge before Senthil could make a move. Fortunately for Senthil, he was able to move just in time to dodge A'raan's hasty attack.
Senthil riposted with a swing of his own blade, but he was still distracted with the events from earlier.
A'raan swung horribly wide and nearly knocked himself off balance trying to physically dominate the battle.
Senthil responded with a quick thrust of his own, but it was too hasty a move.
A'raan recovered his composure, gripped his lightsaber with both hands and swung, attempting to use his superior strength to his advantage. The tactic worked and the blow was enough to nearly knock Senthil off his feet, fortunately their lightsabers were set on training mode or the attack would have severely hurt Senthil.
"Well done A'raan, I think you'll be ready for your next pop quiz," Senthil complimented as he deactivated his lightsaber and put it away.
"Thank you," A'raan replied. The two returned to the cockpit where Sara suddenly pounded into the keyboard at the communications array.
"AH!" Sara shouted.
"What's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I can't get access to their network."
"I thought this equipment was the some of the most advanced in the Republic."
"That's the problem: the network is too old. I can't even get proper access to it. I'll need to get physical access to it, we'll need to go to an actual landing authority or something."
