"I know." Talika said with a sigh that was directed at herself. She continued as she moved to sit, idly rubbing at the bare welt through the new cut on the virtual version of her shirt, "I agree, too, I should have dodged that...can't believe I didn't, really."<br/><br/>Talika lowered herself as her Master bid, sitting crosslegged and closing her eyes as she tried to open herself to the Force. She had had some success previously, and was beginning to get pretty good at finding the stillness needed for a proper meditative trance. She knew, of course, that there were 'depths' to the meditations that she couldn't even begin to consider, much less contemplate, but it all started here, and she would improve with practice. It didn't take long before she felt the mental sting of her failure slipping away from her, Talika finding that calm center that would allow her to focus on the lession learned from it instead.<br/><br/>It was her Masters voice that brought her out of her reverie, Talika's red eyes blinking open as she took a deep breath before speaking, "No more than usual, Master. I'm in the middle of a routine cargo run right now, just a big shipment of boxes full of bolts, screws, nuts, washers...you get the idea. Nothing all that exciting, this time."
