But, just as quickly as the surprised look had come onto his face, it fell, turning back into that indifferent expression he had been wearing since she had first been introduced to him. Why was he so angry with her? It wasn't like she had done anything wrong or anything to make him so. She frowned now at that expression. She sighed and was about to walk out of the room to just leave him be, when he spoke up suddenly and she turned back to him, listening to what he had to say. Apparently it wasn't her that he was mad at as she had thought. He was mad about something else. And now that she thought about it, she could possibly guess just what that thing was that he was upset about. It was his first day here, and from the look he had on his face when he had arrived, he probably didn't want to be here in the first place. It clicked in her mind and she somewhat understood why he was so angry. He felt forced to be here and abandoned by whoever had sent him here, his parents she would assume. At his apology, Odette nodded slightly, [color=deepskyblue]"I over-exaggerated. I shouldn't have gotten angry so quickly. I apologize as well."[/color] She watched him approach her and then, heard his decision on what he wanted to do. She took a step back as the door was shut and stood there a moment, as if she wanted knock back on the door and get him to open up so she could say something. But didn't know what. And so, after a moment she finally sighed and walked back next door to her own room, sitting with her legs criss crossed on the floor, her eyes closed and her breathing deep and steady as she tried to meditate. But anger was thick in the air. Anger and fear swarmed the house and it was hard to focus. Normally her times of meditation were peaceful and filled with pure feelings. But these feeling that surrounded everything at the moment were no where close to that. And it wasn't coming from her, meaning it was coming from Ben. She had been told he just wanted to be alone right now and she tried to respect that and tried to ignore it and let him go through his emotions on his own since he seemed to want to be alone at the moment. The feelings were hard to ignore and were suffocating, making her meditation time far from peaceful. Finally, after what felt like a long time, Odette felt the presence of her Master enter their home again and she opened her eyes, making her way to where he was starting to prepare dinner. She approached him, opening her mouth to speak her worry, when he spoke first, [color=yellow]"I sense it too, young one."[/color] Odette stopped in front of him and frowned, [color=deepskyblue]"Master, these feelings of anger and fear...even hate. They aren't good. If he continues to have those feelings something terrible could happen."[/color] [color=yellow]"Fear and hate, "[/color] Master Luke began with a nod, [color=yellow]"Are not good at all. You are correct. Master Yoda himself once said that fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate. And hate leads to suffering. And all of those things lead to the dark side."[/color] At the girl's wide eyes, he chuckled and placed a hand on her shoulder, [color=yellow]"Relax, my young padawan. Ben is far from the Dark Side. Those feelings he has right now are merely effects of the sudden change. It will take time, but such feelings will pass."[/color] He went back to fixing the dinner, [color=yellow]"For now, have you tried to go someplace quieter? Perhaps the trail? It would help to calm your nerves."[/color] The trail was indeed peaceful and always filled her with serenity any time she went on it. It woudl do her some good if she took a walk up it. She nodded and gave a slight bow, [color=deepskyblue]"I will try that. Thank you, Master."[/color] With that, she was walking back to her room to grab her saber, and once she had, walked out, only to pause. Perhaps...she should invite Ben? If the trail, with its scenic route and fresh air, tended to help her with her own emotions, then surely it could help Ben at least a little bit? Perhaps. But the only way to find out was if she invited him and he accepted. Walking up to his bedroom door she paused before knocking lightly, speaking up, [color=deepskyblue]"Um...Ben? I'm taking a walk. Up a trail. It's very nice and peaceful. If you would like you could come along?"[/color]
