((Continuation of Kōkō Urakami's Training. This thread takes place on Ossus in 12,976 BBY (3 years in the past), but since that forum no longer exists I'm posting it here.))
Kōkō used the back of her sleeve to sponge her forehead lightly as she considered what her master had just said. He was right, of course. She'd lived in the very controlled environment of the temple for basically her entire life, so not everything that she did or learned there was necessarily directly applicable everywhere else. It was quite a glaring oversight on her part, and she was actually surprised at her own silliness for not having realized it on her own much sooner.
She was even downright embarrassed for a brief moment before getting a hold of herself and remembering that the very purpose of training alongside a master was to fix such flaws. Whatever hint of pride Kōkō had felt quickly dissipated and was replaced by gratitude, as Raphael was actually doing her the biggest favor possible by letting her know what she needed to improve or correct.
"You're right, master, I suppose I hadn't really thought it through all the way," Kōkō admitted. She was very eager to better herself, but she also understood that things like that took time, so she was prepared to wait patiently and proceed at whatever pace Raphael deemed appropriate.
