Jek smiled when the telepathy seemed to be working, though the sentences needed to be smaller.<span style="font-style: italic">“I enjoyed it as well.”</span>He thought, relaxing into the chair as he focused on Jax.<span style="font-style: italic">“Helping younglings learn to meditate was best.”</span>He added, remembering fondly that they had once caused trouble during such training session and it seemed that was just something younglings did as the groups, he helped train had done the very same. So, he had made it into a game, to see who could last in meditation the longest.<span style="font-style: italic">“There was always giggles by the end.”</span>He told him, aware the other man had probably seen a flash of memory or two. He didn’t like giving them their lightsaber training, he had chosen to focus on keeping the next Jedi’s calm and on the path of the light. In this training that proved a nice distraction, it seemed as though their bond was also building.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“Could you teach me to fly this ship?”</span>He decided to ask, wondering if the other would mind. It had never been something he was very good at, his master had not been one for piloting so he had never really bothered, instead taking transportations from mission to mission.<span style="font-style: italic">"Maybe, if we try it like this."</span>He said, still not using his voice to talk.<span style="font-style: italic">"We will master it."</span>He finished, turning to set the book behind him on the co-pilot chair as he leaned forwards, ready to learn how to pilot this ship. If both knew how to fly, come time to escape at the end of their mission, whenever that was, it would make it go much more smoothly and quickly. He smiled at Jax, waiting for his decision.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>An-Lok had found that even if she teased Aeris, the other had more experience in keeping her skills sharp. Actual battles trumped her training duels while on Korriban, which annoyed her. She knew the other woman was not relying on their Force Bond to read her intentions, just like she knew they both had a diverse style in fighting. It came with how they had always questioned everything; they didn’t master two forms like others, they had learned all seven forms. Seven of course was still controversial to the Jedi, but most beneficial to the Sith. In her time on the red planet, she had mastered its form the most. “Oh, there is plenty to do when the next Sith come to you to learn how to wield their blades.” She teased back, grinning at her as she rose from Shien into Juyo. It didn’t last her however as the other was just as prepared and An-Lok found herself on the defence as Aeris used the ship around them to launch down at her. Her blade in its training setting had almost not been enough to hold up against the duel attack of two at full power.<br/><br/>Away from the other woman, where they were busy defending themselves with Shien and the blaster fire, she used a few flips, sending a strong Force push Aeris’ way as she moved to sit herself behind some of the barricades meant for the soldiers and troopers. “Excuse me for a moment, I just need a moment.” she called over the wall she was hiding behind as her blade turned off. She adjusted the tabi of her outfit to be just a little shorter before appearing once more, flipping over the barricade to land lightly on her toes. This time, An-Lok decided to truly put Juyo to the test as she used the arcs of her lightsaber to block blaster bolts while going right for the other woman. She flipped and rolled around her, their lightsabers colourful arcs of both offence and defence as they both tried to win. She sent false movement through their bond, like she had when they were younger, attempting to gain the upper hand while using the Force to push and pull.<br/><br/>An was sure she was going to win, using all out aggression until a deflected blaster bolt stuck her right ankle in a mid-air flip. She landed hard on her side as her, her right leg stretched out under her. Her left held her lightsaber up to defend, though she could not block both as Aeris could strike from two different directions. “Yield!” She shouted, panting hard as she could feel the heat of the others blade close to her. “I yield! You win.” She said, reaching out with the force across the room to turn the training bots off as more blaster bolts continued to go around them. With her blade off, she flopped onto her back and groaned as she asked “How bad does it look?” She was sure that she was probably going to need new boots, and time to heal.
