Jax snickered silently at the twitching of Jek’s eyebrow. This was definitely not the first time he had seen this in the many years they had known each other, nor was it the first time he was the cause of it. He fought very hard not to laugh when Jek glared at him from across the room all the while telling the recruits to focus on the Force and empty their minds. When Jek told him that he had fully intended to come and train them, but that Aeris was hard to resist, he didn’t really have a rebuttal. He had figured that was the case.<br/><br/>He smirked at the next comment, telling him that he would have been no better if the situation had been reversed, because there was no denying the two women.<span style="font-style: italic">“Can’t argue with that,”</span>he agreed, having no room to deny such a suggestion. After all, he had nearly gotten them caught red handed by their recruits this morning because he had wanted just a little more time with An-Lok.<br/><br/>He winced a little at Jek’s next comment, and only barely managed not to groan.<span style="font-style: italic">“Did <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> need to know that,”</span>he shot back, shaking his head and trying hard clear his head of any thoughts that sprung from his suggestion. He probably deserved that for his earlier comments, but that didn’t mean he had to like it.<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind again as Jek went around to the recruits who were struggling and offered them encouragement. He was quiet for a little while as he meditated and allowed Jek to make his way through the recruits.<span style="font-style: italic">“How are you two, anyways?”</span>he asked curiously. Last time he’d seen Aeris, she was leaping out of the shuttle and fleeing from the emotional onslaught that he and An-Lok had unintentionally forced upon her. It had been several days now, and as far as he could tell through their bond, she seemed better. As far as he could tell, it seemed like they were doing fine, but he thought he would ask anyways.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Aeris chuckled when An-Lok explained that she was going to her quarters to meditate because she had accidentally levitated a guard, so her quarters were safer. “Been there, done that,” she responded with a nod. Floating meditation was one of her most frequently used forms of meditation, which meant that she and everything not bolted down ended up floating up off the ground. It was a deep form of meditation, so it was better for rest and recuperation than some of the other forms. She tended to go even deeper into the meditation than most due to the way she used it, so she had caused her fair share of damage, both by floating and from reacting to being suddenly pulled from such a deep meditation.<br/><br/>“I have a meditation chamber on my ship,” she told her. “Everything is bolted down, so there’s no risk of breaking anything,” she explained. She had learned the hard way not to keep anything loose around when she meditated, and not to meditate in places with a lot of loose objects, such as her own quarters. “You’re welcome to use it, if you’d like,” she offered. She had been considering going to meditate there at some point today, so she wouldn’t mind joining her, if she was okay with it, anyways.<br/><br/>When An asked where she was going, she shrugged. “Nowhere in particular,” she replied honestly. “I was just wandering, letting the Force lead me, I suppose,” she explained, leaning her head back against the wall and closing her eyes again, reaching out to feel Jek’s presence for a little longer before they arrived back on the floor where their quarters were. When the lift stopped, she looked at An, as if to ask if she wanted to take her up on her offer or not.
