» My mother wants to go up against me with a lightsaber.
» This is a bad idea.
» It won't end well.
» She's not that trained.
» I mean, maybe she's more trained than I think because she has been actually training here, but I can't imagine she could remotely beat me.
~~» How do I get out of this?~~

» I could probably though, if pushed.
» Honestly, the last time I saw her use the Force she couldn't keep a stone levitated. Anger can focus you pretty well, but I can't imagine that much better.
» Right now I seem to have distracted her with her chocolate cake mission so maybe she'll forget about it.
