The Light....it was almost as though Ben had some sort of a shield around him. One that refracted her Light, sending it back to her, the Darkness she was feeling continuing to course around him. It was suffocating in himself, making her feel lightheaded and weak. Rather than facing her like she wished for him to do, he merely slipped his arm from her grasp, turning and walking away without a glance her way, speaking of heading to bed. She was left there, kneeling there where he left her, eyes wide and her mind racing. It felt as though this were....a tipping point. One where there was no return from. One that left her in a panic, trying to find some way to crawl back out and bring Ben with her.

She finally looked up, glancing about at all the padawans, some looking on to the retreating Ben in concern and fear. What had just happened shouldn't have. They knew nothing of the darkness that truly resting in this universe. In the time she had spent traveling with Ben, she had seen it, the darkness within the Force that threatened to snuff out what little Light remained in the Universe. The Light that the Jedi protected and that was endanger of being forgotten. 

Taking a steadying breath, Odette stood from where she knelt, looking to all the padawans, ever the composed Jedi Knight, her voice commanding but soft, [color=00aeef]"Go. Return to your quarters." [/color]

With that, the padawans hesitantly moved, heading toward their own huts, leaving just she and Master Luke standing there. The moment the two were alone, Odette's calm composure fell and she could feel tears spill from her eyes as she fell to her knees, looking down at her hands, [color=00aeef]"What do I do, Master Luke? Ben...he...he's been getting worse...I've been trying to help him...draw him from the dark...but he just gets further and further away the more I do..." [/color]She sobbed and shook her head. She loved him, though she feared admitting that to Master Luke. And it was killing her inside, knowing that he was suffering and nothing she was doing was relieving him of that. She had never felt so useless, feeling as though she were failing him with little hope of bringing him back, [color=00aeef]"I don't want to loose him...I don't know what I'd do..."[/color]
