Mara and Luke are traveling aboard the Jade Shadow, en route to Naboo. They are currently investigating an assassination apparently by Black Sun.

Not long after making the jump to hyperspace, Luke unbuckles and stands up. He stretches and turns to Mara. "Do you feel up to sparring with practice sabers? I feel the need to knock off some rust."

Mara looks over at him and says playfully, "Sweetheart, I am always up for knocking you around." She stands and grins at him. "Just no crying when I nail your hide to the wall, Skywalker." Though she's seemingly confident about her dueling skills, it's been a while since Mara has sparred with a live opponent and she's anxious to test out her skills as well.

Luke grins, then heads to the locker where the training sabers are kept. He takes out two, and hands one to Mara, then heads towards the main cargo bay. "Loser cooks dinner and does dishes?" Luke teases.

Mara laughs lightly and takes a practice lightsaber from him. "That sounds fine," she says on their way to the cargo hold. "I'll be wanting a five course meal of roasted avian, Alderaanian style salad, sautéed vegetables, and chocolate soufflé for dessert. Think you can make all that on board a ship in hyperspace, farmboy?" Mara grins widely as she ignites the training lightsaber.

He follows her to the cargo hold. "Fortunately, half that stuff is not on board. Besides, I'm not the one that'll be fixing dinner." He grins, heads to the center of the hold, and ignites his saber.

"Well you never mentioned in your conditions that the ingredients had to be on board."
Mara rolls her shoulders to loosen them up then relaxes into a combat stance, gripping the lightsaber in a two-handed grip as she circles around Luke. Switching to her right hand, she feints a strike to his right shoulder then goes for the inside of his left knee.

Luke reaches out with the Force and lets it guide his hands. He uses a two handed grip. He doesn't fall for the feint, and blocks the strike at his knee. "Nicely done." He steps to his left, brings his saber up, and cuts toward her right upper arm.

Mara swings the blade up in a vertical position, bringing her left hand to grip the hilt as well, to block Luke's strike at her arm. Pushing off from the point where the blades meet, Mara takes a step back and swipes at his midsection, his left to his right.

Luke swings his blade inverted, hands up, blade down, to block Mara's attack. In a sweeping swing up, bringing his hands back under the blade, Luke goes on the offensive. He brings the blade back and down towards Mara's left thigh.

Mara bats his blade aside barely before it connects with her thigh. She pivots on her right heel, which brings her around to Luke's left side, and attempts a slash at the back of his knees.

Luke draws on the Force to complete a backward flip and allows the momentum of Mara's cut to go through empty space unheeded. Luke lands on his feet, behind and to the right of Mara. He now slashes at the back of Mara's torso from left shoulder to right hip.

After her slash at his knees fails, Mara hears Luke's boots hit the deck behind her. At the last second she catches on to his next move, and drops to the floor, safely underneath his blade. Standing up and spinning back around to face him, she backs up a few steps for space. She's beginning to breathe heavily and tiny beads of sweat form on her face.
"I think you've been practicing a little more than you let on, Skywalker." With that, she quickly lunges at him, bringing her blade down hard towards his left shoulder.

"Who, me?" he asks innocently. Luke twists to the left of Mara and allows her momentum to carry her past him. He playfully swats at her rear end with the training saber as she passes him. Luke lets out a low chuckle, "Ready or not."

Mara grunts in irritation as she spins around once again to face him. She glares turbolaser blasts at him. "Yes, you, farmboy." Without lifting a finger, she grabs an empty crate from behind him with the Force, and sends it sailing for his own backside.
