On top of one of the highest roof peaks of Hallowton, a young woman lay stretched out under the moonlight, basking in it's silver rays. Eyes closed and arms under her head, she lay comfortably on the slight incline. A rather unceremonious position but then again, there was no one around to see her so why bother with formalities and details. Reira was enjoying herself to the fullest. She had just had a glass of wine, a nice dinner, wonderful company of her master, and now she was in the cool of the night air under a pleasant sky.
Her rapier lay on the roof next her her- rather it was under her elbow for easy reach. Not that she needed to hands to wield it but still. She had chosen a simple garb for her outing. A maroon colored tank top that exposed her stomach to the cool night air, a pair of loose black slacks, and her usual black and red boots. Around her waist was a simple black leather belt to which her blaster had been strapped.
She stretched her arms far above her head as she back raised off of her dark cloth coat. A long and deep stretch followed by a contented sigh. What a night.

*Saneatsu appears on the edge of the roof next to the woman silently. He is standing on the edge, wearing not his usual jedi garb but a dark blue suit with a khaki overcoat. To say he had been watching too much TV would be an understatement, but time were different now. His face is cold, hard but also seems sad. Even here he can feel the devastation that happened not to long ago.*
You know letting your guard down can be a dangerous thing. But then again, you know that don't you.

"Hence why it is down. I don't see a reason for it to be up at the moment."
With that she gave a loud yawn, covering her mouth with one hand while the other reached for the sky in another stretch, speaking halfway through it.
"Besides, what quarl would you possibly-"
The stretch finally reached it's fullest point and she released it contentedly.
"have with me?"

*He glances down at her, a look can be seen in his eyes, something that wasn't there for a long time. He looks back out over Hallowton. He would feel different, older, like his true age is starting to show. For a while he had wandered, without a body, without memories, just wandered.
Now he had time to think, to remember, and that was dangerous. He had no ill wish towards this woman, a former friend. Instead he was looking for a test. Someone who was powerful enough to put him through his paces without the risk of death to either of them.
No quarrel, just sound advice. You of all people should know the real me. So how about it?

She opened one calico eye in his direction before sliding it closed again. She knew what he was asking. It was the kinda thing that came from knowing a person for a long time with no choice but to know their habits and tendencies. Came with the territory of being an Inquisitor.
However-
"Why?"
The question was simple enough, but it was delivered in a tone of jarring indifference.

*He turns to her, his eyes seem almost dead. There's no sparkle, no mischevious glint like there usually would be. In fact their not even glowing like they do when he's seeing through the force. Then for a moment they flash to black with specks of white, almost like stars, almost like the one she met so long ago.
*
You won't die
*This was said not as a reassurance, but as a statement of fact. Others might die or end in a draw, but she was on a different level. He could go all out and all he'd have to worry about is her Master hunting him down, and that sounded like fun.*

She didn't have to open her eyes to catch that look. She could see it perfectly well in her own way.
She scoffed bitterly.
"Like I am worried about dying."
She was going to settle back into her tranquil trance, but his staring at her was beginning to get on her nerves.
Finally, with a moan and a groan, she pushed off of the roof, gathering her coat as she did and slipped it around her shoulders.
"Fiiiine."
This being said, she belted her rapier, shoved her hands into her pockets, and waited.

*He rolls his eyes at her moaning. He knows she'll enjoy this just as much as he will.
He is gone in an instant, but not for long. He appears behind her, his foot hurtling towards her in a roundhouse that stops just a foot from her. It falls and he quickly switches to the other, the force increase the speed of the feint along with the power of his hits. This isn't his first choice to fight, but why not start out different for a change.*

Her hands never leave her pockets as the first kick comes, reading and seeing it slow down. It won't hit her. The second one however will. This she dodges by ducking low and forward so that she crosses completely under his leg reemerges behind and beside him. Nothing fancy. What good is fancy if it gets you hit?

*He pivots in place as she emerges behind him, keeping the momentum going as he circles. His foot doesn't slow down, but speeds up the force pushing it along faster. He isn't trying to land a hit, merely test her speed and reaction time*

She had forgotten what it was like to fight with him. They had only crossed blades once or twice before and that had been very brief. Even so, a fight was a fight. Long and short of it. She keeps her feet planted and bends back at the waist to that the kick sails sails over her. As soon as she is behind the leg, she raises her own foot to bring it down upon his backside. Just because he interrupted her nap. A little karmic payback.

*As soon as his kick passes her again he swears as he rolls and throws his weight forward, right off the edge of the roof. As he hurtles towards the ground he turns to look back at her, wondering if she will follow. This wasn't his ideal method of escape but it seemed logical, besides being so high up, there is plenty of time before he eats asphalt.*

Reira stalked over to the edge of the roof, balancing on it's edge as she watched Saneatsu fall. Cat and mouse he wanted to play? Very well then. Cat and mouse it was. She took a step back from the edge, vanished from sight and from mind. Her physical presence and her presence within the Force faded from Saneatsu's knowing and the former Sith assassin was gone. Or was she?

*He smirks when she dissappears and vanishes himself, reappearing standing right where he was about to hit the ground. He straightens out his coat before closing his eyes and focusing. She was there, he just needed to find her.*
Come out come out wherever you are

The sound of her claws clicking upon her rapier sheath echoed loudly through the empty street, even though it was no more than a whisper under normal circumstances. Reira materialized out of thin air, her leg poised to smash into his back.
