Galen deflected her attack with practiced ease. Long hours spent training and honing his saber skills had made the weapon a part of himself. The blue saber returned to the first grip Galen had and he smiled some. It was odd, to be in a duel and not in a fight that depended on him killing his oppoenent. A very welcomed change. He charged in again, this time at normal speed, but once he was close enough he leapt over her. As he sailed overhead, he swung his blade in for an attack. Mara had asked him to see what he could do, so he figured a showcase of the skills he used the most would be best.
Landing on the other side of Mara, Galen quickly regained his feet and brought his saber up in a guard position, his feet apart and ready to carry him in any direction depending on how Mara attacked next.
He was excited too on learning how to work a blaster. True he probably would never use an actual blaster, but what was the harm in learning different skill sets? It was why he was eager to learn from any new Force user that showed up here. Unless they were Dark Side users. He had learned plenty from Vader on that front.
