The Beach [late afternoon]

[sith_happened]

The sun was beginning to go down and Anakin was finished with his office hours. It was time for a friendly spar with his alternate-universe son.

You know, as so many families do.

Ben had found a rock to sit on and observe, looking faintly embarrassed by the entire proceeding.

The Second Annual Skywalker Family Lightsaber Duel and Sulking Contest was about to begin.

Come on down.

Re: Luke and Anakin Spar!

Luke frowned. He had been working a bit with the shoto, but he didn't think it had been enough to shift his natural fighting rhythms.

Unless Anakin was trying to make him second-guess himself and overcompensate...

"Sneaky," he commented, smiling.

...and overcompensating slightly.

And that slight overcompensation was what Anakin had been looking for. He wasn't looking to kill or maim (though 'singe slightly' was tempting...), just to win.

A flurry of movement in an eyeblink and his lightsaber's blade was humming centimeters above Luke's right hand. "Yield?" Anakin asked.

A flash of irritation, quickly quashed, came into Luke's eyes before he smiled and stepped back. "Yield."

This seemed very important to Anakin for some reason, so Luke wasn't going to begrudge the loss.
