sulon_jediHe sat, legs crossed, waiting. He had gotten good at waiting, at patience. It took time - ever so much time - but he had mastered it. Now he waited for someone who was...remarkable. A new presence in the Force.
Perhaps they would be a student, perhaps not. This was all by ear, all outside of the experience of any Jedi. He wondered what Rahn would say, or Luke. Even Jan's advice would have been most helpful. But, in the continuing story of his life, he was once again working without a net.
It would prove most interesting.

Date: 2011-06-16 10:18 pm (UTC)There's a calm current to everything. In and around here... in you and the cat, everything around and under us. It doesn't really bend... it seems to flow in place, like a fountain.

Date: 2011-06-16 10:25 pm (UTC)He's curious what the robot-man will find.
"What does it feel like?"

Date: 2011-06-16 11:06 pm (UTC)"Push further. Can you sense its intelligence? Its sentience?"
He sees the Force differently, that much is true. He really shouldn't be surprised by that, when he thinks about it.

Date: 2011-06-16 11:14 pm (UTC)He opened his eyes, watching him. Or, more correctly, watching the Force swirl around him. It connected...strangely, sporadically it seemed. Perhaps it was still 'settling' on him. He really couldn't tell.
"Direct your energy further. What can you feel?"

Date: 2011-06-16 11:36 pm (UTC)He senses how the robot-man feels the Force, and how it...well, how it comes to him. It is strange, like...like an organic data query. Strange.

Date: 2011-06-16 11:48 pm (UTC)He asked only a simple question this time. He knew something of the method, now to examine the depth.

Date: 2011-06-17 01:04 am (UTC)There were usually some at least. He had to hope there were some in this case.

Date: 2011-06-17 01:21 am (UTC)There is something, a deep instinct, that says training a potentially endless battery in the Force would be a dangerous undertaking indeed.

Date: 2011-06-17 02:01 am (UTC)"The Force can wear, take away at energy unnoticed. The dark side...the dark side corrupts, slowly, unnoticed. The light will tire you, but it will be there for you in times of need."

Date: 2011-06-17 02:12 am (UTC)The duller tint did feel something like that. It was pulling, in a way, but unlike the bright tint, there was an unnerving sense about it. Like falling into a pit you can't climb out of, but in a way that tried to make you want to step into it.

Date: 2011-06-17 02:38 am (UTC)He remembers that particular axiom of Luke's, originally from his own teacher, Yoda.
"Or at least," he adds, "most of the time. Sometimes, you can escape the shadow."
He certainly had.

Date: 2011-06-17 03:37 am (UTC)Something the old Jedi had failed to realize, really. They had locked it away, made it forbidden and taboo, and turned the greatest strength of the Jedi into a weakness that Palpatine had exploited. Thankfully the Corellian Jedi had essentially just defied that. But then again, that was kind of what Corellians did.
Small wonder the Imps had always said that two Corellians together was a conspiracy, and three was a fight.

I'm not exactly in a position to judge you.
