Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>Nory seated herself at the table, taking a glass of water from Jekin with a polite nod and a quiet "Thank you," to avoid speaking over Merryn. She also collected a small pile of the food going around, and began nibbling on it. She managed to sneak a couple of discreet glances at the other padawan as he moved about the room. Along with the lieutenant<em>This is quite the attractive group we've got here,</em>she thought. A small pang of guilt followed the thought, right as Merryn glanced at her. She pushed the distracting thoughts out of her mind, and focused again on the discussion, nodding along as her master explained the languages she spoke. "I can do a passable Mid-Rim Huttese accent, but the my Arkanian definitely sounds like it's from Coruscant." She still wasn't entirely sure<em>why</em>she bothered to learn Arkanian. She hadn't had that many chances to use it, and she'd never met her family since she left, and didn't remember them from before, either.<em>Everybody's entitled to some irrational choices, I suppose.</em><br/><br/>Her eyebrows raised in faint appreciation as Jekin explained his talents. She hadn't heard of any Jedi that used blasters before, and didn't really know any that were skilled with mechanical workings. She wondered if he'd chosen those himself, or if his master had guided him to them, or perhaps even required him to learn about them.<br/><br/>"If muscles can't move it, you don't understand it, do you?" She gently teased Kailen. "There's nothing strange about what I do. I can manipulate the flow, the... patterns, I suppose, of energy. I can redirect them, sometimes absorb them or ground them out. I can use this to perform healing, although I don't really know much about traditional first aid or medicine. I know enough about computers to use them, and as Master S'Jet said, I can cause chaotic patterns of electricity in them. It damages electronics, but don't worry, I don't wreck them just by using them." She gave Linzi her best reassuring smile. "Oh, and sometimes I can influence people through the Force. Not control them, or anything like that, but give suggestions, or try to push emotions on them." She left unmentioned some abilities she'd seen mentioned before. Things that sounded like the skills she had, but put to dark uses. She might be able to use them herself, with some work, but they weren't the kind of things she'd want to try. And if it was something the military knew about, they might, in a moment of desperation, ask her to do so. She didn't want to risk that.<br/><br/>"I've never flown, nor worked on complicated machines. I'm not as strong as Kailen, but I know how to use a lightsaber. Not a blaster, I'm afraid, sorry."
