[quote="Serrin Roma":2v23httf][action:2v23httf]Aside from, after seating herself, arching an eyebrow accompanied by an amused upward curling of the left corner of her lips when Isaac, immediately after referring to her instruction about being no need to apologize to her, apologizes to her any way, Rakella does not address apology since she is confident that her eyebrow and the corner of her lips were able to convey what she would say eloquently enough on their own.[/action:2v23httf]
[narration:2v23httf]When Isaac, communicating with her verbally as well as telepathically, shares his dream and the attendant feelings it engendered within him while by opening his mind to hers while asking how they will continue their training today, Rakella, as is her custom, does not respond immediately and instead takes a moment to consider her answer. As their minds are telepathically connected, Rakella is able, without saying a word, to address his dream even before becoming consciously aware of doing so, her thoughts enabling Isaac to accompany her as she ponders the possible meanings of the dream; [force_speak:2v23httf]the dream seeming to Rakella to be either a manifestation of the lingering anxiety he may have fallen prey to after their ordeal with the necklace or a premonition from Ashla of a future trial he will face. The future, Rakella more consciously conveys to Isaac as her thoughts on the matter become more clear and settled, is, by virtue of the fact that the innumerable players within it are ever in motion, never certain and so the lack of a clear and certain premonition as to who in his family might have been represented by the darkness he was forewarned lay in his path is not at all unexpected. If Isaac were to consciously strive, when meditating, to gain a clearer sense of the dream, if dream it was, he may find that Ashla has more to reveal to him when She feels the time comes to reveal it to him.[/force_speak:2v23httf][/narration:2v23httf]
[action:2v23httf]As she and her Padawan share their thoughts with one another telepathically, the ease in which they are able to do so becoming more and more fluid as they engage in the practice and facilitated by the bond that had begun to be forged between them both before and during their ordeal with the necklace, Rakella crinkles her nose as, speaking aloud, she admits,[/action:2v23httf] "I had not actually planned what we would focus on today, [narration:2v23httf]then quips,[/narration:2v23httf] save for it will not be in the sparring ring so that we both have a bit more time to recover from our last session." [action:2v23httf]Resting her chin atop her left hand, Rakella, recalling that one of Isaac's goals had been to learn to achieve a more intimate relationship with Ashla, conveys to him that[/action:2v23httf] [force_speak:2v23httf]they will begin their lesson by working on his ability to stretch his awareness of all that can, with focus, be sensed when one is most aware of their bond with Ashla. [action:2v23httf]Lowering her hand from beneath her chin, Rakella closes her eyes, maintaining the telepathic connection with Isaac so that she can teach by allowing him to feel what she feels as she focuses on her awareness of all that she can, through Ashla, sense.[/action:2v23httf] For Rakella, the connections that exist between all living things and the Force is like a vast web, one that she can perceive to varying degrees. At first, naturally, she is most aware of herself and Isaac's presences in that web; the more she focuses, the further along the web she can see of feel. The birds in the trees and bushes of the gardens on the academy grounds can be felt in the web that Ashla allows Rakella to sit in the center of, as can the Initiates, Padawans, Knights and Masters in and outside of the academy, all creating, in Rakella's perception, stronger vibrations on the web than the civilians she can sense as well.[/force_speak:2v23httf][/quote:2v23httf]
[i:2v23httf][color=aquamarine:2v23httf]Saturnia always seemed to have a way to tell Isaac exactly what he needed to hear, for he knew that through time, and patience as Ashla in his dream told him and even Saturnia told him that all things would be shown clearly. It was the unknown that Isaac had to train for, and be prepared for, but even then he knew things didn't always go as planned.
Isaac closed his eyes, clearing his mind now as he felt into Saturnia's presence, the telepathic link still there as she felt out, stretching her mind forth and called upon Ashla. Isaac did the same. It wasn't, a hard thing neceassarily to do, but it was always the amount of what he felt that became overbearing for Isaac... but this time, something was different. It felt more... right. As Saturnia, had given Isaac a 'template' so to speak on how call upon that web that Ashla gave to all those who were willing to listen, Isaac showed Saturnia his understanding, and grasp on the lesson she was showing him. He felt the life within the wildlife, and the life within the Jedi that buzzed around and about their everyday life. Ashla was in all things and her light permiated throughout the entire academy, joy swelling within the pit of Isaac's stomach as he spoke to Saturnia.[/color:2v23httf]
