She nodded, ducking under the cable easily.
I think I understand that...kind of how life does that yes?
Tal asked, watching the ramp lower before walking in and starting to help unpack things. She looked over at him and tilted her head waiting for his answer before going back to what she was doing.
I think I've noticed that...now that I think about it anyway...When I look back I can see exactly what you mean....
Master Vex? Can I ask you a question?......
Tal asked, looking over at him once more, feeling sort of shy about what she wanted to know, and not sure if she should ask or not.

Vex bent down to pick up a crate with medical supplies. He grunted a little from the weight and heaved it up onto his shoulder. It wobbled a little before he found his balance with it and he turned to descend the ramp again.
Vex please. Go right ahead. No need to ask me if you can ask me a question. What's on your mind.

Talau knew she was going to have to get used to this. Picking up another, lighter, crate and followed him out.
Well...I have a fwe now....firstly....what made you come down to the lower city and save me?....Secondly, why were you so angery earlier?....and lastly, why don't you want me to call you Master Vex?

Vex had to think back and rewind the present to that fateful day he had saved this poor child. It had been nine years since then and alot had happened to him. Time slowed as he slipped back to that day. The Council. Master Aren. A mission. Pursuit. Assassin. He found his answer and set the crate down where the rest of them were being unloaded. One question down now to think on the others. One he did not want to answer, because it was too personal for him. The other was something he expected from the Temple training.
Well I was in pursuit of an assassin who had made a failed attempt at my father. It was a personal chase. Even against my Master's orders I hunted him down there. I lost his trail near where I found and rescued you.
As for being angry, that is something personal to me, but I will tell you some. Some of it had to do with the inaction of the Council and the actions of the Republic. That is all I can divulge right now.
And for your last, I am not a Master in the Order, nor do I feel like I have the right to obtain the rank. I want no rank and deserve none either. I tried to decline being Knighted, but they refused my request and Knighted me anyway, but that is a different story for another time. Master Vex is too formal too. I feel more comfortable if you just refer to me by my first name. I hope that will satisfy your curiousity for now.

Talau nodded, putting down her crate as well, and heading back for another one. His answers suited her for now....it may not have been everything that she'd wanted to know, but it was better than nothing, so she didn't press the issue.
Alright...Yes, it works for me I suppose....
She said, not really knowing what else to say.

Vex knew that those answers aren't what she wanted to hear, but it was still too soon for him to be fully open with her yet. He picked up another heavy crate and continued to unload the ship. The air between them grew silent as they worked. Then he in turn became curious about her.
Tal, would you be kind enough to share with me your adventures at the Temple after I left you there?

She snorted slightly and hefted another crate, her strength seeming to grow with her frustration and anger.
There isn't much to say....I was put through the normal youngling classes, then after that I was left alone really....I taught myself form II and form IV, though I still need to work on them....I also taught myself some healing teckniques....other than that, I was looked down on, none of the masters really talked to me....I was just like a shadow to them.

Vex again hopped over the refuel cable and landed lightly with the crate precariously balanced on his shoulder. He took half a step back to keep the box from sliding off of his shoulder. He noticed the anger and frustration in Tal and that's what had set him off balance. He quickly set the crate down with the others and perched himself on top of it.
Break Time! Take fifteen. Tal come here real quick, I'd like to talk to you about some things.

The Jedi Knight crossed his right foot over his left knee and rested his hands in his lap. He took a moment to compose himself before he began his next lesson. He had to be careful with what he said or it could lead to dire consequences.
Tal, there are some things you need to know. I could sense your anger and frustration when you told me of your time at the Temple. I know how it feels, I was in the same situation for the longest time too. The only thing is you can't let your anger and feelings override your better judgement sometimes. Anger is a sure fire path to the Darkside, so the Council teaches.
The Force, is like a river to me. The Council talks of light and dark sides of the Force, as if the Force is a coin and there are two sides to it. They don't allow any grey areas in there, so in my opinion their view of the Force is flawed.
I believe that the Force is the Force. No light side, no dark side. It's how you channel the Force for different deads is what determines the so-called light side/ dark side. So if for example a jedi uses the Force with hatred and malicious intent, it doesn't mean he taps into a certain aspect of the Force, but just channels the Force differently. Just like if for example like when I healed your face. Do you understand?

Talau nodded slightly and looked down, slightly ashamed of how she had felt.
I'm sorry...I shall try to keep that in mind...but I understand what you ment. I don't use the force to get back at others though...I don't like hurting people....I just feel very frustrated sometimes....I just want to feel like I'm worth something, and they didn't even treat me like I was there...that's what made me angery.

The man smiled as he saw the humbleness in his Padawan. She was learning quickly and he was proud of her for that. He patted her knew as he stood swiftly and spun around to offer her his hand. He had the perfect exercise to help with her frustration. It worked for him, it ought to work for her.
Come, they can finish unloading this without us. I have an exercise for you that may help you with your frustrations. Hopefully it will allow you to learn how to control them. This will also help you with your skill with the lightsaber.
Vex led her back over to where he had originally been practicing his katas and picked up the three remotes that had only been knocked out of the air. He activated them and let them float in the air just in front of him. He reached around to his back pocket and pulled out a crimson piece of cloth.
Turn around and hold still. I'm going to shut off your visual senses and you're going to spar with these three remotes okay?

She nodded slightly, not sure of what to make of this. Tal did as she was told and turned around for him to tie the cloth over her eyes before she realised her sabers had been knocked from her hands and she still didn't have them.
Um...Mas.....Vex?....I still don't have my sabers....
She pointed out, holding out her empty hands.
And...I still cant call them to me...

Telekinetics was Vex's specialty he worked with in the Force. He smiled as he now had someone to pass on his training to. He hadn't perfected it, but now he had someone to help him with it as well as teach it too. He sought out the familiar shape and size of the sabers he had flung to the base of crates earlier and reached for them through the Force. They skittered a meter across the floor and flew to his outstretched hands. He hefted them and closely inspected them. They were of good craftsmanship, but he noticed and realized that they were made by someone who had taught themselves. Once he had the time he would teach her the proper way to construct such weapons with skill and precision.
Now you say that you aren't able to call your sabers to your hands yet, but my question is how strong are you in the telekinetic aspects of the Force? Are you able to move objects with your will yet? This is another lesson I want to give you, but first I must know what levels you are in the different aspects of the Force.
Vex motioned with his left hand that held one of her sabers and the three remaining remotes were pulled to him. He deactived them by turn after clipping her sabers next to his, and cradled them in his arms. His next lesson involved using the Sense aspect of the Force.
We will not be doing the drill that I had intended for you. Instead I would like you to keep the blindfold on and using the Force, follow me throughout the colony. I will now tell you where we will go, nor will I make it easy. You must use your senses and feeling through the Force to follow me, and if you are to become separated from me, do not remove the cover from your eyes. You must seek me through the Force. Now come along and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
Vex turned and walked towards the quarters he had been given farther down the corridor from the hangar in a small villa. He would drop the remotes off there and shed his Jedi robes for the more casual clothes he wore underneath.

Tal nearly immediately became nervous. She could sence others, but she wasn't yet sure how to tell each person apart...but then a thought came to her.
Um....Vex?....will you wait a moment before we start...I want to try something...
She asked, noting that he hadn't walked far yet.

Vex smiled and simply walked along as if he had no one in tow. He rounded the corner and headed out of the hangar. He reached out in the Force and felt for his other companions that he had arrived here with. He noted that they had descended in the lift and was now familiarizing themselves with the colony. He sent a mental note to them that he would meet up with them shortly as he had to cover the distance between them. He also sent a Force tap to Tal every now and then so she got a sense of his presence and knew what to look for. He kept tabs on her at all times as well. He knew where she was and what she was doing. The bond between master and student had started to form between the two.

Grunting slightly to herself as she noticed he didn't stop walking, she trotted along to keep up with him. Every once in a while, she had to stop and shake her head slightly...this was making her head hurt, trying to consistantly keep track of where he was, and where she was, and where walls were so that she didn't run into anything....though, she did every once in a while.
Growing slightly frustrated, she trotted up beside him and looked up to where his face would be...if she had been able to see.
Vex....this is really difficult right now...doesn't it make your head hurt?...because mine is.
She asked simply, not sure if he would answer her or not. Tal consciously had to keep herself from reaching out to grab his sleeve to help guide her, but she knew that wouldn't help anything....and in any case, she wasn't one to give up easily.
