Padme

Though perhaps forthright, and naive, Haloburner Lighterre was not afraid to make her request known. Later on when Alos finally rose up and led the way to the said location of the ruins, she rejoiced- though inwardly. “Thank you again for being accommodating and responding to our request-” She paused momentarily to ponder on her words. Where they really a request, desperation, or a demand? Alos could have declined to be cordial, and simply turned the two Jedi away, or packing. But in lieu of that he’d not only welcomed the pair inside his home on a whim, but also dropped his plans to accommodate the Jedi. That made Lighterre smile, as she knew it was the sign of the Force leading and guiding them. Lightly rubbing the wrinkles off her jacket, Halo exited the house, following beside Kailen - though she made sure there was ample distance between them. “…Well with Kailen’s help I don’t foresee that much challenge that I wouldn’t be able to handle. She’s been a great help to me thus far, and I have faith in her abilities.” The elements outside hadn’t changed much since the pair stepped foot on the cold planet. However, this time, the teen Jedi was not only physically prepared (thanks to Alos’ jacket) but also mentally ready for the challenge. She wondered how far advanced Kailen had been trained in the Force…As she knew Force sight, would easily help them locate the lightsaber in question- irrespective of the strong sheets of ice. Be it on the on the ground on the doors or be it where it may. “We are Jedi. I know for a fact that Force sight could help us located the ruin, but we’ll need to be closer to the location. Now that I’m physically prepared, thanks to your kindness Alos, I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Providing Kailen is up for the challenge.” Still walking beside the other Jedi, Halo paused, hoping her mouth hadn’t caused any trouble.

With the jacket now doing its job, the young Jedi felt much better. Haloburner made an attempt to steer the topic back to their original purpose. “Per Kailen our intent is to do just that--find Jedi artifacts that we could return with us. Thus far, you’re the only one with encountered.” Pausing the Naboo Jedi would ponder what it is Alos was saying. She watched Alos relax back in his chair will smoking his cigarra. “Our goal would require perhaps knowing the land/neighbors.” Halos softly said. “Thus far you've done more for us than I would have imagined. We would have frozen to death, but you aided us. That alone tells me the Force led us to you for a reason. You mentioned something about a lightsaber, perhaps you can show us the way there?... The technology trail would also be nice if you kindly point us to the last known location. Are there other neighbors that you’d be so kind to point us to? You know, like a communal place of sort.”

The younger Jedi made her way inside the seemingly randomly placed house. Once in she moved closer to Kailen- though she left ample room between them. She was after all the only thing familiar to Halo. Like a proper young one, the red hair Jedi listen, and only spoke when a query was directed to her. "And who might you two be?" Seemingly simple question, however Haloburner hesitated a bit. Partially because Kailen had hesitated to disclose Haloburner’s identity. Eyes now focused on Kailen’s gloves, Halo wrapped her hands around her shivering body. “Haloburner is the name…” Pausing, Halo watched the man Alos’ demeanor quickly change. A hearty laughter, mixed in with an explanation ensued. Lighterre remained in her spot, but seconds later shifted her gaze towards the jacket thrown towards her direction. Quickly tapping into the Force, Halo pulled the jacket towards her hands and then proceeded to put it on. Completing her response, Lighterre added, “… but most folks affectingly call me Halo. And Kailen is right, your house does seem out of place, but then again we’re not from around these parts.” “Thank you for the jacket.” Halo concluded while watching Alos recline back to one of his chairs.

.

The sight of the giant pylon, and Kailen's loud sneeze was the only thing Haloburner remembered. Unbeknownst to the red head Jedi she'd nearly frozen to death, due to her own doing. Going on a mission on Hen Var without proper garment would differently do that! Thankfully, Kailen saved the poor girl by carrying her inside their ship. Hours later, the teen Jedi awoke. Kailen didn’t leave a note about her whereabouts, which left Halo a bit concerned. A look of bewilderment crossed the teen Jedi face as she searched the ship, simply to come up with nothing. Moments later, she secured several layers of clothing. Allow the Force guide you to her. Halo heard. That’s exactly what she did. Exiting the ship back into the harsh cold temperature, the Naboo native allowed the Force to guide her. Before she knew it the Force had led her to a hut. By the time she reached the door the inexpensive chronometer on her tiny wrist was nearly frozen to her skin. The flares trail she’d seen all along ended at the hut. A familiar voice belonging to Kailen served as Halo’s confirmation- of sorts- she entered the building. flares "Who are you?" She heard as she made her way inside, her entire body nearly blue from the cold temperature.

<< Rhen Var has been a planet with Jedi ties to it. We are unsure what sort of ties they hold to now. Your job will be to listen in to the local vendors on planet, and to see what sort of Jedi artifacts you can find on the planet to bring back to Lehon in one piece. >> Watching and taking lead from her fellow Jedi, Kailen, Haloburner Lighterre paused with gear, and bag in hand shortly upon exiting the exit ramp. They pair had been sent to Rhen Var on fairly easy mission, at least in the teen's mind it is. Like all things, time will tell if the pair's exploration assignment is as easy as it sounds.

Teen Jedi, Lighterre , nursed a glass of bluemilk while her fellow Jedi, Kailen, piloted their ship in route to Rhen Var.

Clearly, the Naboo teen's actions were received as invasion of privacy. Pulling back, Haloburner widened the space between herself and Kailen. "Sorry, my goal was not to make you uncomfortable. I'll go collect my bag now." Seconds upon uttering her verbal response, Haloburner Lighterre swiftly turned to walk away. Moments later, she re emerged with her bag in hand. While waiting, she pondered upon her assignment. << Exploring is a word used very lightly here. Rhen Var has been a planet with Jedi ties to it. We are unsure what sort of ties they hold to now. Your job will be to listen in to the local vendors on planet, and to see what sort of Jedi artifacts you can find on the planet to bring back to Lehon in one piece. >> This trip will mark Lighterre's first encounter on Rhen Var. Inwardly, the teen smiled at the notion of exploring said planet, welcoming the challenge ahead.

As though on cue, the teen’s shoe went flying whilst the man of the hour (who Halo would later find out to be the Grandmaster) emerged closer to the Padawans and the woman known as Knight Adenna. Sheer embarrassment would quickly cross Haloburner’s face. However, the embarrassed look would quickly turn into a confused look and then later on a broad smile all courtesy of the conversation between the Jedi Knight, Adrian and the Grandmaster. Like a proper Jedi, Halo refrained from speaking until she was specially addressed. Even so, she took a good mental note of Adrian’s words to the Grandmaster and Knight Adenna. Moments later when Haloburner was pair up with Kailen, she quickly bowed towards the female Knight, and then a bit lower towards Grandmaster, then finally rose to walk closer to Kailen. This would be her fourth paring in less than her three days of being a Padawan. Inwardly however, the teen cringed. Cringed due to the inevitable unknowns that may ensue with the new pairing. Turning closer to Kailen the teen would finally break her silence. “Nice to meet you Haloburner Lighterre is the name, but you can call me Halo.” Simultaneously doing so, Halo would beckon her shoe away from Adrian, back to her side. “Nice to meet you Kailen….” Pausing, the teen would adjust her shoe back on her feet. “I wonder what this little exploring is,” Halo finally whispered inside the Kailen’s ear.

Moments upon entering one of the shuttles, the Naboo teen would emerge only to discover Knight Kovoo and the other Padawans engaged in something. Exactly what remained a mystery to the teen. Amidst whatever it is that Knight Kovoo was attempting to teach the group of Padawan’s Haloburner felt a slight change in Force. However, she couldn’t pin-point exactly what the change was. Unbeknownst to her a female Knight, Adenna, had come in search for Padawan…Perhaps the elder Padawan- Adrian…. The sheer look on Adrian’s disposition- upon laying eyes on the woman (Adenaa)- caused the red head teen to wonder. Perhaps even probe the doctor’s mind- but she knew better than perform uncalled for mind probes on the poor elder Padawan. It wasn’t until the female Knight had approached Adrian that Haloburner’s raised eyebrows stalled- though momentarily! She wanted to respond to the female Knight’s queries, but it seemed the doctor was doing a rather fine job answering each question- albeit reserved. At least to the teen! Approaching the pair, Halo would offer the female Knight the customary Jedi bow. “Hello, I am Haloburner. I believe-” Halo would pause not sure why, nor what she wanted to say. For once, the Naboo teen appeared dumbfounded! She thought of what to say to the woman, but her mind was consumed by a sudden urge… Removing her shoe, the teen would throw the leather shoe towards Adrian. As though nothing had happened, Haloburner would continue walking towards Adenna, before finally stopping- upon reaching a couple of feet away from the woman. "What Adrian means is he is single. You see, Adrian is , well was, a doctor who is now a Jedi. More specifically, a Padawan.” Haloburner added while looking towards the elder Padawan’s direction. “…Right Adrian?” Halo finally added. With a heavy sigh, the teen felt suddenly relieved from the embarrassment (over a stupid door bell) Adrain had caused her the night before.

Language in hand, Halo simply allowed the Force to lead her to her new master. His force signature was rather faint, but the female Jedi nonetheless took the risk. Moments upon walking through each shuttle, she was quite hesitant, but her priced kept her from seeking direction. The third shuttle, however, revealed the man Haloburner was looking for. By all accounts it appeared Halo was the first Padawan on board. Walking up to the man Haloburner gave the customary Jedi bow. With that, Halo walked past the seated crossed legged man, and then proceeded to secure a spot for her language. Moments thereafter, she would find herself a seat and wait.

Releasing her attunement to the crate, Halo would allow the Jedi Knight to complete moving the crate down. Her old self would have kept suspending the crate while Knight Kovoo attmpeted to release it. BUT like the proper Jedi Padawan, she cautioned her inate desire against it. When the man’s final instructions came, Haloburner simply gave a forced smile, followed by the customary Jedi bow. “Yes, Knight Kovoo,” Uttered the teen girl. With that, she proceeded to exit the training room, but not without sending a nudge towards Ads and the elder Padawan. “About time we left this room. Where do you think we’re heading?” Halo was certain Ads would receive her telepathic nudge. The doctor, she wasn’t so sure, but time would tell. Per Knight Kovoo’s instructions, Haloburner packed her few belongings. Shortly before exiting her chamber, she accessed the datapad provided by the Order. She needed to double check the said hanger bay- seeing as Kovoo did not mention which hanger bay to report to. Information in hand, the teen Jedi exited her chamber and headed to the hanger bay. "Hopefully Adrain would have no trouble locating the hanger bay-" Halo thought while waiting for the others to arrive. The thought of him getting lost suddenly brought a faint smile on Halo’s face.

"But who is this guy and what's going on?" Came Ads query to the young female Jedi. "Well, he will be our new trainer- me thinks. Just go with-" Haloburner's words were cut short as a new set of instructions came forth.... "Alright, well I would like for you to show your basic skills. There are a few crates over there filled with supplies. Lift them into the air with the Force and try to display some control over them if you can." Deja vu....Basic skills? Pfft and here I thought I was ready for trials- though the girl to herself. But like the proper obedient Padawan she did the man's biding. "Okay Knight Kovoo," said Haloburner. With that, she found one heavy crate, beckoned the Force around her and lifted the thing in the air. Crate still suspended in the air, Halo looked over at Jedi Knight Kovoo as though to say 'tell me when I can drop the crate.'

"What'd I miss, guys?" A seemingly simple query by Ads. However it seems the elder Padawan was much too engaged in answering Knight Koovo's question. As the doctor spoke Halo moved closer to her fellow Padawan, and then whispered. "Are you not supposed to be sleeping," the teen chided Ads, then just as quickly followed it up with another whisper. "You didn't miss much Ads." Meanwhile the doctor was still at it. For the love of Yoda, Haloburner simply wanted the man to just get to the point. However, in order to keep the peace she simply looked engaged. She would wait until such time as Knight Koovo addresses her in person or is asked to speak by the others. Glancing around the three other men, the teen Jedi couldn't help but think of how all this started. She desperately wanted to move the group to a room, seeing as they'd already spent enough time congregating in the hall way. But again, it wasn't Haloburner's call, thus she kept listening.

'Perhaps maybe it would be best to wait your time out with someone who very well could help you gain some more training as you wait. I am after all, one of the Jedi trainers here. Maybe I could fill as a teacher until the Jedi Council finds a few masters for the masterless." As those words fell on Haloburne's ears she couldn't wait to give an affirmative 'yes' to Koovo's suggestion. "I can't speak for the others- Ads and Adrian- however, you just got yourself a new Padawan, Knight Koovo. When can the training commence?" Inwardly Halo hoped this will be an end- of sorts- to her long wait. In the few months that she'd been with the Order, she'd been through the tutelage of two masters. She needed some form of consistent training. Though Koovo made it clear his offer would simply be a fill in- she hoped it will perhaps be the end to her long wait for the right Jedi training. Time will tell- she thought while waiting for the man and or Adrain to speak.

There were so many things Halo could have said to the elder Padawan and the other two men, but nonetheless, the Naboo Jedi held her resolve. She felt as though the events from the class session –merely hours ago- were been repeated. Now thoroughly embarrassed, due to a misunderstanding, Lamb offered a response- of sorts to the Knight Koovo. “Well, it appears, by all account, that Adrian, Ads, I would perhaps need a new master. The one we had is well, albeit off to put it gently. Twice we were dismissed to bed, but yet this same master thinks we are ready for our Knight trials. I speak for myself when I say I need a new master.” With that the young Padawan turned her gaze away from Koovo.

She didn’t miss him. No. Lighterre watched – through her peripheral vision- as a Rodian Jedi Knight approached the pair. However she chose to look the other way on account of fearing that the man was sent by her master. Knight Joreel did after all instruct his Padawans, including the young female, to eat dinner, rest, and meet him the following day. Clearly Haloburner (and it appeared the elder Padawan as well) chose to do otherwise. Chuckling, Lighterre watched as the Doctor attempted to use a door bell. ‘ahh if only he’d done that in lieu of knocking on my chamber door’ she thought, quietly to herself. Now levitating –albeit cautiously- the teen Jedi would slowly land closer to the three men. Lighterre would pause- until such time as she felt the group were ready for her to give her account. Shortly after landing, the elder Padawan gave a telling of his account, Halo closed in on them- though she was careful to leave ample room- and then uttered: "Pardon me, Knight-" she paused for a second. The second man had had introduced himself as Koovo, but Haloburner was not quite certain on the proper name to ascribe the Rodian, well save ‘Knight.’ Continuing, she added “… I had assumed Knight Joreel had sent you to fetch me. You see, I am technically supposed to be, however as you can clearly see, slumber is far from me. Forgive me-” Halo added completely forgetting her manners. With a slight bow, she would turn to face both men- though careful to bow slightly lower at Rodian Jedi Knight. Seconds later, she straightened her shoulders while simultaneously completing her account. “…So yah, the name is Haloburner, but you can call me Halo. the Doctor-” she paused to point to the elder Padawan, as though he was some sort of a prize. “…Yes, the Doctor… Well we were just having a leisurely walk/conversation. That’s my story … Pleasure to meet your acquaintance.” The teenage girl was quite certain she’d uttered one too many words. The sheer sense of awkwardness raging in her mind could match her red roots! With a sly but yet somewhat sincere look, she smiled at the three men while awkwardly awaiting the Rodian Jedi Knight’s response while still yet pondering on the elder Padawan's account from moments ago. Random thoughts about the Doctor also crossed Halo's mind 'Kriffin doorbell.,,, Oh dear, the man must be at least a century behind....Lost in primitive time- of sorts.'

The young Jedi didn't utter a word, he simply walked- heading nowhere in particular. Haloburner assumed the elder Padawan was catching up to her. It wasn't until the man exclaimed "Wha--wha--what's a doorbell!?" that she turned to face him. "A door bell, is the oval thing on the chamber door. The thing I pointed to after I opened the door, Doctor Makaryk." Turning to resume her leisurely impromptu walk Haloburner would interject- "Onderon or not surely you've heard of a door bell," and then keep walking.

"We are going to be leaving Lehon soon and heading to a few planets for your trials to begin. I feel each of you have the necessary skills to get you through these trials aside two things. The ability to use the Force to make you more agile, as in jumping large distances with ease, and massive speed of movement. Then lightsaber combat. I feel we can accomplish both at the same time. But for tonight, rest, and in the morning we begin the last part of our training." The words of her master hang deep inside her even while slumber overtook her. Unlike the rest, Haloburner had skipped supper, and went straight to her chamber. The events that transpired before fleeing the scene in as much hurry as she could, still weighed on her. Joreel had apologized, but Halo wasn’t keen that the man had an understanding of the ripple effects he’d caused. Unknowingly or not. The Naboo Jedi contemplated on speaking to her master right before resting, but decided against it- least she be viewed as concocting/inviting a scandalous deed. Thus rest she took- with book in hand. Not too long thereafter Halo heard and sensed a presence. One akin to the elder Padawan’s Force signature. Merely moments later, she was awaken by a rather loud (almost thunderous) knock on her chamber door. Glad she hadn’t changed into her night attire; she pushed the book down, and went to the door- wondering who in the kraff that was. The chamber door does after all have a doorbell installed. A functioning one too! Moments later, the young female Jedi opened the door only to discover the elder Padawan/doctor with enough nerf jerky to feed an a dozen people. Okay, perhaps not a dozen. Does he ever not eat? Halo thought silently to herself. “Next time use the doorbell. See-“ came Haloburner’s words while pointing to the door bell, and completely ignoring the strong meat odor permeating from Adrian’s stick of nerf jerky. “What part of the Galaxy do you hail from?” How can a doctor not know how to operate a simple necessity as a kreffin doorbell, Halo completed- this time in her head while heading back to put her shoes back on. Seconds later, she emerged out of her chamber, shut the door and then started walking down the hallway. An impromptu leisurely walk would follow. Not the set of instructions Knight Joreel had prescribed, Adrain would need to follow suit….

Upon hearing her master's final instructions, Haloburner simply collected her belongings and left. She wanted to say more, but decided against. Knight Joreel knew best, and if he felt the two day training would merely suffice then so be it. Shortly after reaching her chamber, she attempted to read her favorite holobook, but then sleep beckoned her.....

I'm a dolt....Vaderman, please delete. -.-

Quite frankly, Halo was embarrassed by the reaction that ensued. It felt as though all eyes were on her. In times past she would have relished in that moment, but not today. Not the way thing had progressed. With a gentle nod of the head, the teen acknowledged Knight Joreel’s words and then moved on. However, Knight Ordo’s assessment of his student’s accomplishment- particularly Adrian’s brought a change of mood to the female Padawan. Soon a new set of instructions came forth. Another simple task- push a rock and pull a credit chip- all through the Force. As quickly as she could, Haloburner followed through with the task without any reservations. Shortly thereafter, the teen girl moved by a nearby tree- while waiting for her master’s next instructions. Perhaps this time something more challenging- and non repetitive- will be forthcoming…

"I am sorry, Halo. My behavior was most...unprofessional. You didn't even say anything. You just left me to guess what you were thinking? I hope you're feeling better, at least." The elder Padawan’s words fell on Halo’s ears like water being poured on a dry garden. She wondered if the man, staring down at her, was the same person who merely moments ago was on her case- perhaps rightly so. “Well, I am. Thank you.” Came the young girl’s slow, but quick verbal response to the doctor. She still couldn’t believe her ears! Their master on the other hand had earned himself a lengthy rebuttal. Joreel, had not only read Haloburner’s mind, but had also divulged confidential information. Though Halo never uttered a word- her master read what she’d thought. Halo knew Ads could read her mind- but only when prompted. Besides, the girl never did make any effort to share the thoughts that crossed her mind- the one Knight Joreel accused her of uttering… Oh dear, do I correct him now?, she thought while moving her glare from the elder Padawan, and on to her master. “Knight Ordo, well, thank you for appreciating me?-” uttered the teen. She paused to ponder on her next words- carefully choosing the words to express her disgust at the man’s accusation…. “…learn to use my words more effectively, you say… The only problem here is I never uttered a word to Doctor Makaryk-”Continuing the emphasized the elder Padawan’s name. “….Doctor Makaryk himself just attested to my claim. He never did hear me utter a word. But you, my Master, the one who is supposed to exemplify some sort of professionalism not only read my private thoughts, but accused me of uttering words that never left my mouth. I’ll follow your instructions out of courtesy for your position, but insofar as reading and sharing my thoughts are concerned, I’d rather you not.” The teen’s words were soft, but yet firm- it sounded akin to a crying teen. Inwardly the girl felt betrayed. She’d have to keep better grip on her thoughts! Not waiting for the Knight to respond, Haloburner moved on to the instructions at hand- even though she along with the rest of the class had already done something quite similar to the task at hand. Perhaps the elder Padawan’s boulder crashing was not sufficient progress for the Jedi Knight. The doctor appeared as though he was just standing, while Ads levitated a small piece of rubble. Halo followed suit and levitated the same size of rubble. As time continued, Adrian appeared in the same position- with nothing to show. The teen wondered exactly what Adrian was up to. Ten minutes passed, and then fifteen minutes. At was at that time that Haloburner saw a huge (seven-ton) boulder lifting off the ground, into the air, fly up backwards (thankfully away from the girl) and then finally a very audible thud echoing in her ear. At the sound of the thud- courtesy of the doctor- Halo’s piece of levitating rubble momentarily fell on the ground. She quickly reached for it back- through the Force- while chuckling at the elder Padawan’s work. Knight Ordo will not miss this exercise, she thought in her mind.

((Not my best, but it'll have to do. Apologies for the long delay)) Clearly the teen Jedi actions annoyed Ads and Adrian; so much so that they both took it upon themselves to rectify the situation. Ads attempted to physically intercept the girl’s performance. A menacing look- of sorts- graced Halo’s face as she exchanged eye contact with the young man. Merely seconds after that Ads appeared to be eye a small pebble… Meanwhile Haloburner was desperately trying to both keep her equanimity and complete the task at hand. However, Ads once again managed to circumvent the Halo’s plans by dropping what felt like a tiny rock on her forehead, and ripping the boulders from the girl padawan. Haloburner was not amused. No. To add to her set back the elder Padawan, Adrian was also on her case. “Wait, did that happened simultaneously while Ads made an attempt to circumvent my success? No. Yes. Why is the doctor on my case anyway…” The words rang in Halo’s mind while desperately trying to avoid an emotional breakdown. She was quite certain her visual acuity had not failed her, but judging by the distance between herself and the elder Padawan, he was definitely eying her face. Words ensued from the doctor- more so then he’d ever cared to uttered during his entire time at the temple. By the time Adrian was done speaking Haloburner felt beyond embarrassed. She certainly didn’t bargain for this when she decided to join the Order. Even so, not a single word left her lips. Haloburner simply gave a nod and then moved on to listen to their master’s voice. Thankfully, Knight Joreel corrected Ads for his unbecoming behavior. Still attempting to hold her true emotions in, and not throw a tantrum, Haloburner listened to Knight Joreel’s instructions. "Ads, Halo, please do as I am doing, allow yourselves to allow the abundance of the Force in this place to flow through you and direct it, like you did with the rocks, to surround Adrian." At that the teen Padawan followed suite and lifted her arms allowing the Force to do its will through her. She didn’t particularly give the exercise her all- for she was still furious with Ads and the elder Padawan. At least Halo had one thing going for her. Her forehead injury- courtesy of Ads- appeared to be healed!

As the Naaboian Padawan gained her breath Adrian arrived- right behind her and Ads. It seems the elder Padawan was all along following behind the pair. At the sight of all three Padawans, Joreel- the Jedi Knight proceeded with instructions. Several debris moved in the air at the apparent summoning of the Jedi Knight. More words were uttered, and then came the instructions for the Padawans: "Each of you, pick a piece of the ruin, and then, go ahead and attempt to lift it into the air using nothing but the Force. Just like you reached out to feel my presence you can reach out to the stone and ally with the Force to have it surround the debris and lift it as you need it to, into the air." The teen was dumfounded at the sound of Knight Joreel’s rather short instructions. Her eyes fell on Ads, and then back to the elder Padawan. Seconds later it drifted up to the tree she was standing by. Hadn’t she already done the task at hand? A more grueling one too- now that she thinks about it. Lifting a durasteel crate was nothing compared to shifting a bunch of debris and dead particles around. True each task relied on telekinesis but the instructions at hand annoyed the teen nonetheless. For a while no on volunteered to proceed with the task at hand. Halo was certainly not going to be the first. In fact, the teen Padawan nearly gave a verbal rebuttal to Joreel’s instructions, but alas Adrian saved the moment as he attempted to do the Knight’s biding. Halo could tell Adrian was struggling with the exercise, that confirmation came when Adrian’s eyes collided with hers. Halo’s eyes however were spinning like an annoyed teenager short of throwing a tantrum. Adrian thus far has consistently failed at each assigned task. Perhaps his attempt at this one would save him- thought the blonde while still rolling her sapphire blue eyes. Moments later sheer confusion graced the elder Padawan’s face. Halo nearly laughed, but she didn’t. Instead she turned her gaze on Ads and then back on the poor man- Adrian- and then finally stepped up. Drawing on the Force the teen tuned her senses and will around the debris. She couldn’t help but notice several of the rocks, as they reminded her of her pebble collection… Still saturated with the Force, the Naaboian Jedi summoned not one, not two, but three huge stones- each of which were bigger than the ones Knight Joreel had lifted earlier in his demonstration. Even so the combined weight of the stones was certainly menial when compared to the durasteel crate she’d lifted the day before. Unlike the durastel crate, the teen didn’t have to exert that much of a will to suspended the debris in the air. She thought about accidentally dropping the stones on Ads- pay back of sorts for the injury that now graced her forehead- but one look at Joreel caused her to quickly not follow through with that idea. Haloburner allowed the stone debris to suspend mid air- above her head- for several seconds before gently releasing them inside her now extended hands. Once the stones were settled in her hands she looked at her master and then within seconds beckoned the Force around her again. Seconds later the three sets of stones were back suspended in the air, and then finally gently released back down on the floor. Unlike the durasteel crate exercise, the teen did not break a sweat nor did she feel drained. Haloburner uttered not a word for her actions spoke for her.
