Jami slowly opened his eyes with a long, slow sigh. He had been training so hard for a long while now, but how did he know if he was getting any better? He had nothing to test himself against except for a few training droids. He wondered if there was a way to test himself, though he knew better than to look for trouble....

Makum nodded his head, a little disappointed. Yes master. He said. He then turned his concentration toward the boxes and closed his eyes. He could feel the aura around them, feel it everywhere, Makum grasped it, and moved a few boxes with a bit of a struggle. Three of the four boxes floated into the air, not high, but in the air nonetheless. He held it there, sweat starting to bead on his forehead, and his eyes straining. Finally he let them come crashing back to the floor, and sighed.

Fina had just finished reading on the jedi masters that were around during the clone wars, and was just getting to Luke after the Galactic Civil war when she set the holopad down on the bed and stood. She decided that she would go find someone to spar with again. Working on her lightsaber technique wouldn't hurt...
She headed out of her quarters, the door sliding open for her and shutting behind her as she left, then toward the elevator. While in the elevator, she took both sabers in hand and opened them up, tuning them down to training level before setting them back at her belt. When the elevator stopped, she exited into the hallway and moved to the training rooms...
She usually didn't have a single training room she entered to train herself, and walked into them at random. First, she the door to the training room Kari and Makum were in slid open for her. She stopped, and then seeing that Kari was instructing a student, she bowed her head. "Excuse me" She said, and then politely removed herself from the room so that she wouldn't interrupt further. After leaving the room, she continued to another training room, approaching the doors and watching them slide open, revealing that the room was occupied by Jami. She took a moment to think and then bowed her head to him for a moment. "Hello Jami... Am I interrupting?" She asked.

Jami looked up and bowed slightly, shaking his head. "No, Master, you're not. Is there something I can help you with?" He straightened his shirt slightly, waiting quietly.

Fina gave a smile. "Would you like to spar?" She asked, setting her hands down to her sides and grasping her sabers into her hands, both having been tuned down on the way here. Still, she figured it would be nice to warn him. "I've already tuned down my sabers to training level..."

Jami nodded, unhooking his lightsaber from his belt. He switched it down to the training level, then switched on the teal blade and assumed a defensive back stance, with the lightsaber drawn back and pointed at her while the other hand had two fingers extended towards the ceiling. His weight was on his back leg. "Ready when you are, Master."

Fina kept both blades at her sides, then took a step back with her right leg, widening and lowering her stance. Her right hand was raised at a bit above shoulder level, the blade pointed 'diagonally' up. The left blade was held so that it was pointed up, hovering a bit over her left thigh...
After taking her stance, she decided to attack. His stance was a defensive one anyway. So she lowered her stance a bit more before using her legs to push her into a leap, aided by the force to allow her to more easily close the distance between them, and landing just infront of where he stood. As she landed, she'd keep the blade in her left hand still, ready for a block as her right hand brought its blade down in a quick and light sideways sweep, aimed low. Specifically, it was aimed to hit his knee, assuming that it wouldn't move. She expected that it would, or that he'd block it...

Jami glanced down at his knee and pivoted at the last second so that he wouldn't feel the burn of the blade on his leg. He responded with a quick jab reminiscent of Makashi. He kept the blade close to his body in case he needed to move it back into a block, which was the main aim of his favorite form.

Fina merely pushed quickly away at the jab with her left saber, pushing the blade off to her left. Having kept her right hand off to the left side with the sweep of her saber at his leg, she brought it slightly higher, slashing again to the side, this time for Jami's side.

Jami allowed his momentum to spin him around, and he quickly stopped her saber with a firm block, the saber pointed almost straight at the ground. Since he was on the inside of her now, he moved his saber in a quick arc, aiming for her stomach. He noted her skill; he hadn't sparred with anyone of this calibur since he had fought his father on Ansion. It was rather refreshing in a way.

Fina quickly noticed how her body was left completely open to attack, and decided to move. Springing into another force jump, she moved over him, the saber just hitting the bottom of her boots. She twisted into a spiraling flip over him so that she'd land facing him, arms crossed as she landed, her stance lowering with her landing. As she straightened her stance back out, she uncrossed her arms attempting to scissor her lightsabers across his back.

Jami closed his eyes as he did in Force training, allowing the Force to guide him. As her sabers closed on his back he ducked, though he felt the heat graze his hair. He turned in a vicious sweep, trying to slice at her legs from his left to right.

Fina's eyes widened for a moment, feeling the sting of the saber across her legs and stumbling a bit backwards. She had to admit though, she did leave herself very open for that, so she had it coming for her. She should have left herself a bit more ready for defense...
Now she knew...
So, backing up and regaining her composure, she looked to Jami's face. "Nice one." She said. "Okay. Ready when you are." She finished, taking her stance again.

Jami nodded and resumed his earlier posture. "Very impressive. I could teach you to anticipate movements, though. It's a technique most Echani learn at a young age."

Fina smiled again. "Thanks for the offer." She said. If jedi training wasn't already supposed to do that, she might have taken him up on the offer. She just left herself open for attack, and felt the burn for it. She knew better now...
So, returning to the offensive, she closed the distance between them and brought the saber in her righth and down, pointing straight toward him as it was held at neck level off to her side. She aimed to quickly jab at his chest with the tip of her right saber, for her initial attack this time...
