Alethea was glad that he sat without putting up a fight. Even among Jedi, many guys were prone to trying to act tough, even when they should take time to rest. She was glad he wasn't that way. That was one less thing for her to worry about. After he sat, she lost herself in her thoughts, not really paying any attention to the fact that her hand still rested on his shoulder. She knew she shouldn't worry over it. After all, worrying did nothing to change things, it only caused unrest in the mind. That was something she could not afford in the coming mission. Likewise, it was something Jedi should not allow themselves to fall prey to.<span style="font-style: italic">There is no emotion, there is peace.</span>she recited the words in her mind, taking a deep breath and calming herself.<br/><br/>He was right. The future was always in motion. Visions were never set in stone, they showed a possible future, rather than a definite future. This put her mind at ease somewhat, yet she still couldn't shake this nagging feeling somewhere in the back of her mind. In that vision... they had been fighting in what appeared to be a desert. This made little sense, considering their destination, and the fact that they were a pretty good ways away from any desert planets. What, then, had he seen? Where had they been, and why? She had no answers to these questions, so she put them aside for the moment, keeping them in the back of her mind, reminding her that they had to remain vigilant in the mission to come. For now, however, it would be a good idea to rest, relax, and perhaps get to know the one she would be working with, at least for the duration of this mission.<br/><br/>She decided to take his words to heart and trust in the Force, as they had always been taught. They needn't fear what was to come, only use what they had seen as a warning to bear in mind. "Right," she replied with a nod, giving him a small smile. It wasn't until he placed a comforting hand over hers that she realized that her hand still rested on his shoulder. She blinked, a little surprised by the sudden touch, or perhaps the sudden realization that she had been touching him all this time. She shook her head, telling herself that there was no reason to react this way. Still, she couldn't help but feel... something. Rather than dwell on it, however, she simply gave him a small smile, taking a deep, but subtle breath to calm herself.<br/><br/>After a few moments passed in silence, she decided that, perhaps, it would be good if they got to know a little about each other, since they would be working so closely together. Besides, it wasn't as though they had anything better to do for the remainder of the journey. "Ummm... So..." she tried to think of something to say before dropping her head in something that resembled defeat. "I really am... very bad at this," she looked back at him and smiled somewhat sheepishly. "I thought... Maybe we should get to know one another. But I can't seem to find a place to start," she admitted somewhat timidly, something that was also odd for her. She wondered if, perhaps, he might be at least a little better than she was at this.
