[ Grinning when his attacks are kept at bay, he doesn't give Cal the opportunity to push forward. Is he being a little aggressive? Absolutely, but it's a good way for him to see what he's working with before moving on to sword practice. ]
Yeah, that'll wear off eventually. Have you been to the Horizon, yet?
[ By now, he realizes he won't get anywhere with his more passive style, unable to push forward against Anakin's aggressive moves. Okay, that's fine. ]
Yeah—
[ It's instinctive for him to want to use The Force — to push his opponent back to give himself a moment of reprieve, but not only has he not fully been able to access his connection, but he's still wary about doing any of that here. Instead, he utilizes his skill at being quick on his feet, parrying to the side, so he can get a good horizontal swing in, hopefully. ]
[ Cal is definitely more light-footed than he'd anticipated, quarterstaff striking in the space that was just occupied. He just barely manages to block the incoming strike, shoving back against it. ]
First time is always weird. Makes you feel like you don't really know yourself.
[ Anakin spins off to the side, kicking out at Cal to sweep his legs. ]
