Merryn took the opportunity to sit down as well, offering her most appeasing smile at the woman's question, though she was a little taken aback by it, "I... yes. We spoke through the force." She didn't expect her to pick up on it so quickly, "Names and feelings can be felt at great distances, depending on one's connection to the force. However, between me and my padawans, our bonds are... strong."<br/><br/>She momentarily frowned, afraid that Linzi or Jekin would misinterpret what she said, "What I mean to say is that the force brings us together."<br/><br/>After the young trooper's questionnaire, the Knight nodded and began, "My master found me at a young age. I know only the lightsaber. I'm not much of a pilot at all, nor a slicer. Machinery..." She gave a shrug, "Nory and Kailen will tell you the same, I'm afraid. I know Ryl and..." She shot a meaningful glance to the white-haired girl, "A little Huttese. She knows more, and Arkanian and... the Wookies..." Her mind reached out grasping, and then suddenly, the word was there, plucked from Nory's surface thoughts, "Shyriiwook."<br/><br/>"Sorry, it's not much." The woman forced a smile, "But with the Force..." She shot her padawans a knowing look, "Well, I can proudly tell you that Kailen is an accomplished duelist- almost as good as me." then her attention turned to the girl beside him, "Nory's a Jedi healer. She's also ionized a computer or two in her time."<br/><br/>"As for myself..." She looked down and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm good at reading people, if you will. Could you put that down? Forgive me, but I find one becomes a little reluctant if you come out and say that you're a Jedi, much less that you can read their mind. For good reason, I suppose." She leaned forward empathetically, "But you would know if I was doing it."<br/><br/>That wasn't entirely true... but Merryn did not dare want to give Linzi any reason to distrust her.
