"There is more to being a Jedi than idle meditation. Our current circumstance is proof enough of that." Merryn replied to Jekin, "Yet the same can be said of wielding a lightsaber. For us, it's both."<br/><br/>She let herself in at his offer, her feet still bare, "I confess I don't know this city as much as I would like." In truth, she'd been avoiding all the noise and life outside the Temple for as long as she was on the city-planet. Her neglect of the padawans' practical training was proof of that, much to her shame, "You know it well, though..." She tilted her head at Jekin, "Perhaps we should call one of the Lieutenant's acquaintances."<br/><br/>The Knight produced her comlink and went through, making sure she still had the code before she put it back into her pocket. Her attention went back to Jekin's still-wet hair, then she turned to Nory and Kailen with a slight smile, "You're all very fresh." She remarked, "Did you think we wouldn't spar today? -just because we're away from the Temple..."<br/><br/>"Or was it that you wouldn't break a sweat?" She arched an eyebrow, "Two, I think I can handle. The three of you, though..." Where had this cockiness come from, she thought to herself. Was it Kailen? He was proud and headstrong but never quite arrogant. Or the newcomer among them, so soon after they'd met? She hadn't been like this since the days she traveled with Val'taros, the two of them against the galaxy. Most surprisingly was how refreshing it was- how enjoyable the feeling was. She was happy then, blissfully unaware... Now she felt happy again, but afraid.<br/><br/>"Let's clear some room." Merryn said, looking around, "Minding ourselves in close confines as these could be part of the challenge."
