The dining hall is nearly empty this time of day. Not all that many Jedi have the time to sit around between meals, Shep has discovered since he is in the habit of dropping by for an afternoon snack when he has the chance.
Actually right now he is out looking for Master Kiineq, but there is nothing wrong with combining his search for the Master with a snack, the Padawan decides. It is not like Kiineq is waiting for him anyway or something like that. If he were Shep would not take the time to stand here and contemplate the empty dining hall.
Jolting himself out of his thoughts he heads for the food. Luckily there is always food here. As he gets there, the Padawan stops to decide what he is in the mood for.

Kiineq enters the dining hall. He is not often here this long after lunch, but the meeting dragged out.
He has no trouble recognizing the boy by the counter.
The Master doesn't speak until he stands directly behind Shep.
"Why am I not surprised to find you here, dear Padawan of mine?" he asks, amusement twinkling in his eyes.

Sheps hands stops its motion towards the food when Kiineq speaks. He has been to absorbed in his own thoughts to notice his Master entering, but it only takes him a heartbeat before his hands is moving again.
"Because you aren't stupid, Master?" He suggests with a smile before taking a bite of the fruit he has just picked from the table in front of him.

Kiineq chuckles. "Why, thank you" he says drily.
He selects a light sandwich and some fruit.

Shep moves along the table with out responding to Kiineqs comment and chooses some bread and fruit along with a big glass of juice, before turning to look for a table.

Kiineq sits down by the nearest table and starts eating.

Shep sits down across from Kiineq and takes a bit of food. "What have you been doing this afternoon, Master?" He asks, before taking another bite.

Kiineq looks at Shep. "I had a meeting to attend" he says, without elaborating.
The small sandwich is quickly gone.

"What an elaborate answer." Shep grunts into his glass. Though his eyes stays on his Master. He is not being disrespectful, just himself.

Kiineq lifts an eyebrow. "What did you expect?"
He doesn't seem to be in his most talkative mood today. Which should be a clear indicator for the Padawan not to push him.

"Maybe a little more than 'I had a meeting to attend', specially since I knew that already?" Shep says with a raised eyebrow.

"If you already knew, then why do you ask questions, to which you already know the answer?" Kiineq asks. He fixes the boy with a sharp glance.

Shep studies his Master for a second, part of him recognising that maybe backing down would be a good idea, but then he isn't that good at listening to the force yet. "Well, maybe I was wondering what your meeting was about?" He says, not really holding back the fact that he thinks Kiineq is acting sorta stupid right now.

"Drop it, Shep." There's a warning edge to Kiineq's voice.

"Right." Shep says as he gets up from the table and goes to get another glass of juice. He stops to pour sugar into it before sitting back down. This time not saying anything, though Kiineq will undoubtedly notice his irritation.

Kiineq ignores Shep's irritation. The boy can be as annoyed as he wants, it's not going to help anything. Shep ought to know Kiineq well enough to realize that.
He finishes the rest of his fruit.

Shep slows down his eating when he gets back to the table. He is to busy wondering what is up with his Master to care about the food, but right now it makes a good excuse to stay at the table. He is not sure whether to be pissed at his Master or concerned over what ever is wrong. Kiineq normally isn't like this. Sure the Master will shut his Padawan out of what ever is going on in his head, but he normally doesn't act this antagonistic.
"So what? You're just going to sit here and be pissed the rest of the day?" The padawan finally asks.

"That will do!" Kiineq says sharply. He does not look pleased. "You would do well to remember your place, young one."
He stands up, taking his plate with him.

Shep looks up at the sharp rebuke. "Sorry Master." He says, and stuffs his last piece of fruit into his mouth, while debating whether to get up or stay put.

Kiineq leaves the table without another word, to get rid of his dirty plate.
He turns to leave the dining hall, leaving it up to Shep to decide whether he wants to come along or not.

Shep looks as his Master cleans up after himself and turns to leave, while trying to decide what to do next. A Jedi Master in a bad mood is no fun, actually probably closer to dangerous to fun. But then it isn't the first time Shep has seen his Master in a bad mood. And with the thought his decision is made. "Wait for me, Master?" He asks.

Kiineq stops and turns halfway around at Shep's request. He waits for the boy to catch up.

Shep looks at his Master for half a second before realising that he is not going to get a verbal response, then he hurries to clean up after himself, before joining his Master.

As soon as Shep is at his side, Kiineq turns and starts walking again.
He weaves his way through the Temple in complete silence. If Shep is paying attention to where they are going, he might be able to guess where they are headed.

Shep follows his Master in silence, constantly staying half a step behind him.

They soon reach the training halls.
Kiineq enters one of them and shreds his robe.
"You can join, or you can watch." he tells Shep. "Your choice. But I won't go easy on you, if you do join."
He then moves to the middle of the room and starts doing some simple warm-up exercises.

Shep stands in the doorway and looks at his Master for a few moments before dumbing his robe by the wall and moving to the centre of the room. He is pretty sure he is going to get well and truly beaten, but then he has never been one to step down from a challenge.
He ignites his ligthsabre and starts to let his mind go while copying Kiineqs moves.

Kiineq's lightsaber is quite suddenly in his hand. The blade traces a green line in the air, as he brings it down at an angle at the right side of the Padawan's neck.

Shep react instantly to the thread from his Masters blade, bending his knees and bringing his own blue blade up to block the green one from hitting him. When his blade is securely between himself and his Masters blade he straightens his legs and pushes upwards to shove his Masters blade away.

Kiineq doesn't even wait for Shep to complete his move, before he moves his blade in an arch. This time the blade is aimed for the Padawan's left side.
