[ chuckling ] You didn't expect it to be that easy, did you?

[ he place a hand on ahsoka's shoulder lightly. it's a brief contact, in case that happens again. of course, it does happen anyway. there's mix of feelings and images of the legacy of this mission - the beauty of ragoon vi, the fun loving wren honoran who anakin felt he had an easier time connecting with than his own master at that time.

obi-wan rarely shared his thoughts to him and anakin had needed that as an assurance, that he wasn't just a burden from qui-gon. whether he intended it or not, this is what spurred this exercise for him. he wanted ahsoka to know he trusts her, with his life. he smirks smugly when he lets go. ]


Focus. [ a thing which he is clearly not doing. that is the padawan's job. ] The Force is in all living things. Focus and you'll find what you're looking for.

[Ahsoka's breath catches a little when she gets all that-- the beautiful imagery, Anakin's feelings, his trust-- it's overwhelming. Gratitude wells up inside her.

Somehow, she manages to close her eyes and concentrate. Seconds pass... then minutes.

Finally:]


I sense something out that way. [She points deeper into the forest. There's no point using north or south on this planet they're totally unfamiliar with.]

Large. Heavy, but fast. That has to be it.

[ if he focuses and stops trying so hard not to beam down at the teenage he watched grow, he might be able to sense it too. but he doesn't even bother trying, he nods and trusts her.

usually, he would take the lead. his impatience and utter boredom here would demand it. today, he looks at ahsoka and waits. ]
resnipstance: neutral, talking (158)

[She looks back at him expectantly for a moment, waiting for Anakin to take the lead like he always does.

When she finally realises he isn't going to, her eyes widen slightly with surprise. Then she nods and forges ahead.]


... All right then. This way. Try to keep up, Skyguy.

[ he laughs. of course, he can sense it too now that she's pointed it out for them. but he's still giving her the lead. in his more contemplative moment, he wonders if this is what they would have had if the clone wars (and yoda) didn't force them together. ]

Trust is part of exercise, Snips. If I get too slow, you better slow down for me. And you know, I am getting old.

[ is 23. is old :| ]

[She chuckles.]

Sure. I'll be calling you "old man" next.

[She doesn't mean it. But she does lead on, fearlessly, taking them deeper into the jungle and getting quieter and more focused as they go.]

[ he snorts and follows. she's a familiar in the force and he could find her with his eyes closed (preferably with his eyes closed). but he knows they are approaching danger. something big, loud and dominating. it doesn't know anything that can harm it. it isn't the king of the jungle but it is the top of the food chain. ]

We're close. And I don't feel like being food today.

[ he looks up and at the thick sturdy tree branches above them and the thick foliage that could as well act as cover, then back at ahsoka. ]

Up?
resnipstance: unsure, worried frown (05)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-07-22 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ahsoka nods, all business now.]

It sounds huge. Height is probably a good idea.

[She scales up the trees quickly and gracefully, like a born monkey, not stopping until she's reached a respectable height.]

[ he follows, swiftly and quietly. but really, they didn't need to. this beast is approaching and it doesn't care for the noise it makes. it's still some ways away from them but they can hear it.

thump

thump

tiny squeals can be heard as well as the rustle of leaves. ]


Well. The good news is there is no way it's bigger than a Zilo beast.

resnipstance: smiling eyeroll (154)

I feel so reassured.
resnipstance: surprised, confused (57)

[Literally seconds after she says that, the giant t-rex bursts through the trees in front of them, teeth and everything looming large and in charge. Ahsoka can't help but freeze for a minute, impressed by the size of it.]

... Whoa.

That was way too easy for you. Guess I should have taken you when you were turned into a snippy youngling.

[ the t-rex sniffs around, and each step it takes practically shakes the ground. he brace himself as the tree they've situated themselves shakes and rustles. ]

Heh. Impressive.
resnipstance: smug smile (16)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-07-24 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Ahsoka looks up at Anakin, a slow grin emerging on her face.]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[Because Ahsoka's thinking LET'S RIDE IT.]

[ it spots them and he decides it's better not to respond verbally. he follows ahsoka's thinking and jumps two trees away until its back is exposed. not missing a beat, he lands on its back precariously.

a few huttese curses and he glances at ahsoka while he tries to get his footing to equalize with the beasts movements ]


Slippery!
resnipstance: happy smile, excited (40)

[Ahsoka lands, slips, yells, flails, and nearly falls-- but then she regains her balance and climbs upwards slowly, as the beast roars and tries to buck them.

Thankfully, his tiny t-rex arms are too short to reach them.]


Whoa! Giddy up!
