Xeviiy entered the room when Moryr permitted her, “Yes, well I was heading back to my room when I felt your presence, I’ve always been a little too curious and I couldn’t place where I had felt you before until I finally saw you.” She responded. Heading over to the table once she started to pull out box from under the table, curious about it until she saw the cups and saucers that went with them and had a pretty good idea what was in the box that Moryr pulled out. 

When she was offered some tea, Xeviiy nodded with a small smile, beginning to take a seat at the table, “Oh, I’m sure it’ll be fine, my mother brewed all sorts of teas when I was younger, so I’m sure I won’t dislike this one.” She responded when Moryr said it was one that was an acquired taste, it probably wouldn’t be that bad, she had some pretty bitter teas in the past, so she could probably manage the one being brewed.

Xeviiy listened to Moryr’s question as the tea was being served, taking a cup for herself, though she didn’t touch it right away, more fiddling with her hands as she stared down at them in her lap, “Well, I think it helped, I mean I was able to finally fight of my own accord, though it was sort of a forced situation and the man I killed in the vision, well even though it was for the greater good of that family, it still didn’t feel right.” She paused for a moment, “I was planning to think about it later, then I came across the two Republic officials, they were talking to the council about...” Her head lifting up a bit as she remembered what the masters had told her, knowing she couldn’t reveal what was discussed, “...important matters, I was allowed to go with them and was inspired to spar with one of them who was a former Jedi, it went well at first, but that man soon started to replace the officer I was facing in lightsaber combat and I was almost killed because of it.” She finished gripping at her hands tighter.

It was a good few seconds before she realized she had blurted out her whole story in one go, rather than trying to ease it in, but it really had her flustered, “I apologize master, I didn’t mean to lay so much information on you in one go.” She gave a faint smile, trying to hide what was troubling her, not because she feared the man, but rather was fearing how it could affect her if she didn’t resolve it, she didn’t want to put the upcoming mission in danger because she was hallucinating and causing problems for the other Jedi and Republic officers that would be on the mission as well.

The blue sky on Dantooine seemed rather peaceful as a gentle breeze flew through, a slightly tall, dark violet haired woman was standing at a training ground spot as she had her eyes closed, taking gentle, yet large, deep breaths, enjoying the sense of peacefulness on the planet, taking in the force and feeling it throughout her entire being.

“Hey master, are you going to be teaching us today or just standing there?” A young male twi’lek asked, a couple of the other younglings clearly feeling the same way.

“Are you so eager to lose today?” The blue skinned woman asked with a small smirk as she glanced back at the green twi’lek.

“Well, no master, but you’ve been standing there for a while and we were just wondering if we were going to have practice today.” He responded, feeling a little embarrassed for being called out.

“Yes, we will be having practice today Vra’siret, but one thing that you young ones must learn is that a Jedi is always patient and doesn’t rush into conflict, training or otherwise.” She paused for a moment to face them, “Now let’s get ready for practice, I’ll need two volunteers to go to the opposite ends of this training area, who wants to be first?” She asked, glancing around at some of the students who weren’t particularly eager to raise their hands.

Then Vra’siret raised his hand, “Very good, anyone else?” Iri asked as she glanced around before Vra’siret interjected once more, “Master, are you going to be picking a padawan soon? Surely I’d be the best one to learn under you.” When that was brought up however, the other students soon began to speak up, they too wishing to become her padawan. Iri had been a Knight for a good while now and still had yet to take on an apprentice, she felt she wasn’t ready for the task yet, so the masters suggested she teach some young students first, get a feeling for it and then perhaps she would be ready to take on a learner, she agreed to it and that’s how she was here now.

“My padawan? Well I hadn’t really considered it to be honest, furthest thing from my mind.” She teased with a smirk.

“Everyone knows that you haven’t taken on a student yet, but you’re exceptional with a lightsaber, one of us wishes to become your student, please consider it master.” Vra’siret responded with a determined expression.

“Hmm, well I suppose I could consider it, but how would I know any of you are ready to become my student?” The blue skinned woman with yellow eyes and gold marking on her face spoke, grasping her chin lightly with her thumb and index, pretending to ponder over how they could prove themselves.

“I know, we could spar against you, if one of us makes contact with you, that person becomes your student.” Vra’siret responded eagerly to her.

“Alright, well then who ever wishes to try and take me on, step forward.” Iri agreed with a smirk in the corner of her mouth. Though when it came to the students choosing to step forward or not, only four of them actually did so, the others knowing how well she could use a lightsaber and didn’t feel they had the skills yet to even stand a chance against her. Not surprising of course, Vra’siret was the first to step forward, followed by a female togruta, a male wookie and a male human.

Iri lead them over to the training area, the sun shining down on them as they all took their position, Iri in the center while the students were at four points around her, one by one they activated their practice sabers, two sets of blue and green ejecting from the hilts. Iri pulled her double bladed saber off her waist, activating it as two amethyst colored blades ejected out both ends, she then turned the power knob on her blade down to it’s lowest setting, it was still slightly stronger than their practice sabers, but not by much, so the worst they would get is slightly worse burns, welts or bruises, but nothing that would seriously injure them.

She took her Niman pose, readying herself for her students to make the first move, “Well, let’s begin then, shall we?” 

With that the young female togruta made the first move, going in with a strong attack as it slammed down onto one end of Iri’s blade, the young male then followed up, moving in to her side to make a hit, Iri quickly slid the girl’s blade off her own and then gave her a small push with the force to send her skidding a few feet away, then quickly blocked the boy’s attack with the other end of her blade.

“Very good Noka,” She addressed the young togruta and then focused her attention on the young human who still had his blade locked with hers, “You as well Sanjun, catching your opponent off guard is a good strategy, perhaps you all may have what it takes to become my apprentice.” She teased with a smirk before pushing his weapon off hers.

“Oh were good enough, and I’ll prove it right now!.” Vra’siret shouted as he then began to charge in, leaping into the air and then clashed his blade down on hers, the wookie, Vrol, coming up on her back side which she blocked just by slightly shifting her weapon to where it blocked his attack and still blocked Vra’serit.

“Raw power isn’t what a Jedi should rely on to fight an opponent, they need strategy and patience, something I don’t think you have quite yet.” She taunted some more before pushing her blade against theirs, forcing her students off her once again.

Vra’siret was about to say something when he suddenly thought about how Iri could block two attacks but not anymore, at least not without leaving herself vulnerable to a fourth attack should she block a third one, that gave him an idea, “Hey, Noka, Sanjun, Vrol, come here, I’ve got an idea.” He shouted to his fellow peers, the three of them glancing between one another then quickly made their way over to him as Iri patiently waited for them to talk, whilst you couldn’t do this in a real battle, she would allow it, she was glad they were trying to come up with a plan to beat her, it showed they were trying to think like a Jedi.

“Okay, so what’s this plan you’ve got Vras?” Noka asked with an arched eyebrow.

“Well you know how master Asichi has those two blades?” He responded.

“Yeah? What about them?”

“Well if two of us attack her, she’ll block them an-”

“Have her block our attack? That’s your big idea?” Noka interrupted, thinking this plan was foolish.

“I wasn’t finished yet stupid, when she blocks the attack, the other two of us will attack her from her sides, she’ll probably be able to block a third attack, but the fourth one I’m sure will hit her.” Vra’siret finally finished with a proud smile on his face.

“Actually that could work.” Sanjun jumped in, rubbing his chin as he thought it over, Vrol giving a small roar off, indicating he too thought the idea was rather smart, Noka giving off a slightly irritated look, though she did agree that the plan seemed like it was sound and it had a chance of working. “Are my little strategist done with their plan?” Iri asked with a smirk as the four of them turned to face her, “Oh yes master, we’re ready.” Vra’siret retorted with a determined smirk of his own.

He and Vrol soon ran over to her sides, preparing to make their move whilst Sanjun and Noka then began to charge her, their blades quickly crashing down against the both of hers, then Vra’siret and Vrol began to charge from her sides, she glanced between the two, [i]So that’s their plan huh? Well not bad, but I think I’ll show them my surprise.[/i] She then turned her blade in combination with the force to create small blast that pushed Noka and Sanjun away, Vra’siret thought they had her, that attack wouldn’t allow her to block either one of them now.

“We have you now master!” Vra’siret yelled as his and Vrol’s blades got ready to strike her, A small smirk hit her face once more, “No, I don’t think so.” She whispered, then she twisted her hilt, the center of it clicking as they unlocked and then she extended her arms out, Vra’siret’s eyes widened as she turned her one blade into two, blocking both of their attacks just in time.  “Two individual lightsabers? You can turn your weapon into two individual lightsabers!?” He shouted in astonishment as he struggled against one of the lightsabers in her right hand.

“That’s right my young student, it comes in handy for such battles as these, but it was a good plan, I will give you that, however it’s time to finish our playtime.” She retorted, indicating that she hadn’t even been trying against them.

“Yeah right, we still have you out numbered, one of us will hit you eventually.” The twi’lek boy responded as he grimaced, both trying to push against her blade as well as the fact that she had a counter to his plan all along and on top of that, she didn’t even seem to be trying with any of them.

Noka and Sanjun soon began to charge in once more, determined to make contact with their teacher, “Watch and learn.” Iri merely responded before pushing the two off her blades yet again, blocking her students’ attack that shocked and awed the ones watching on the sidelines as a flurry of light clashed against one another. Then in that same moment, she saw her opportunity, her blades made as light a contact as possible on Vrol and Sanjun’s chest and then with another quick motion one made contact with Noka’s ribs whilst the other hit Vras’s shoulder, before finally she extinguished the amethyst colored blades, the four students not moving for a moment, then finally collapsed.

“Well it looks like none of you shall become my apprentice today, but there’s always next time.” She lightly chuckled as Vras let out a sigh, “Darn it, we were so close.” He slammed his fist down on the ground before starting to sit up, as did the others. “You had a good strategy, though you’re a tad too cocky when it comes to your combat, I know you’re talented with a lightsaber, but being overconfident in your skills is exactly what will get you killed, or worse.” Iri responded back, she could see the potential all of them had, but if they were full of themselves, she knew they wouldn’t make it as Jedi.

“But you’re cocky and you fight with a lightsaber exceptionally well.” Vras interjected, finding the lecture a tad hypocritical.

“Or I merely appear that way on the surface young one, did you ever consider that?”

“What do you mean?” He asked, slightly confused.

“Well when I seemed cocky to you, what did you feel?”

“I guess I felt slightly irritated and wanted to prove to you that I was just as good.”

“Right and even throwing you off a little allowed me to gain the advantage, because that small irritation can grow larger and larger until it blinds, same as overconfidence and that is this lesson as well, a Jedi must never let their emotions overcome them, you will feel them during the heat of battle, but you mustn’t let them take over and blind you from thought, understand?” She smiled as she rested her hand on his shoulder.

“I think so master, I’ll try to remember that.” Vras responded, clearly being a little more humble.

“Alright everyone, that’s enough of this lesson for today, it’s time to move onto history, so let’s go.” She motioned as she began to lead her small amount of students back inside, some of them letting out a groan, clearly not wanting to learn what they felt was boring, Iri unable to help but show a small smile, remembering how she was a tad like that when she was learning with the Jedi.
