It had been a week since Rehni had reviewed her new padawan's folder. Just like the other padawans of her past she took the time to watch him interact with others, participate in training, and what he plainly did in his free time. According to the database, he was raised by Jedi, but unlike younglings here, in a family setting. She was curious to know what he knew as Jedi without having been raised in such a setting.

The young Knight clicked off her lightsabers and returned them to her belt. Her mind was always better cleared in the midst of dancing with her sabers than actual sitting still. But now it was ready to meet her new padawan: Mojawk.

She made haste to the training room she told her padawan to meet her.

Mojawk has received a summons from his new master earlier that day. He admitted he was excited to finally have someone to train him so he could progress in the force, but he was also nervous as to what his master would be like. He sat on his knees with his hands in a meditative stance, his eyes were closed and he was clearing his mind for the training ahead.

His mind was a turmoil of thoughts and fears. Will my master be male or female? Were they a knight or a master? Were they young or old? Will they find me worthy to truly train as a jedi? Will they expect my family to have taught me much already? He had difficulties getting his mind clear. Eventually however he senses a bird land on a nearby window and he smiled softly and focused on it. The creature was hopping softly along the window and he sensed the creatures calm nature.

He felt the birds breath, could tell it was simply curious about the room in which lay beyond. He felt the creature turn and fly away, its curiosity sated for the moment. The appearence of a nearby living creature helped him achieve his inner calm and he was no longer worried about his master. What would happen, would happen, and he would do his best to go as far as he could. He continued to meditate like this, keeping his mind clear and sensing the living creatures amongst to room. The insects eavesdropping on the walls, a small plant hung from the high ceiling and Mojawk could feel it as well.

Soon however he felt a stronger presence moving toward the door to the room. A presence he felt belonged there. It was at that time he knew his master had arrived. He could feel she was a female, and could plainly tell that she was very talented. He continued his meditation, allowing her to tell him when she herself was ready to begin his training.

Rehni could already feel her padawan in the training room, he must have been meditating because his presence was calm, and not anxious like some nervous students. She entered the room to see that her feelings did prove true to see her padawan meditating.

"Whats ising you listening fors?" she asked her padawan in her broken dialect. She walked around him listening to the Force, picking up his own Force signature.

"My own inner calm master. I am simply trying to prepare myself for the training." He responded as he opened his eyes and stood up, he stood straight and turned to her and bowed politely. "I am Mojawk. I understand that you are to be my master. I look forward to training under you." He said as he stood from the bow and looked her in the eye respectfully. "You are probably wondering if my family has ever trained me before. The answer I'm afraid is no, both of my parents became one with the force before they could begin teaching me anything." He told her as he continued to hold her gaze.

"Might I know a little more about you?" He asked as he smiled softly. He wanted to learn as much as he could about his master, if they were to work together. "Also if you'll forgive my impatience, might I know what we will be working on today? I have been curious all day." He said with a small laugh as he scratched the back of his head.

"Lots to learning Padawan." she told Mojawk, "Sensing Padawan, key to understanding alls training ins the Force." she informed him, as to who she was she nodded in agreement she would give him a little bio about herself, "Asing whos I ams, Jedi Knight Rehni Feher Tak'n; I hasing lost family too, but I finding new family here on Ossus who raising me at the temple." she shrugged, she wasn't one to open up to anyone especially students, "Jedi ising my life. Anymores questioning?" she asked.

"Only if we can begin master." He said with a nod, satisfied for the moment. He could that she would be a good master for him and he was anxious to get started. He forced himself to calm down though, as rushing to fast into things would get him injured or worse. He would practice patience in training, so he would better use it on the field of battle if and when the time came. He noticed she had multiple sabers and raised an eye in curiosity, he'd never met a jedi who had used two sabers yet.

He hoped she would teach him how to use two sabers at once, as such versatility could not go unrewarded. He knew the names of most of the lightsaber styles, and their basic understandings. He had never actually learned any of them though, just learned the overview of them. He knew what style he wanted to learn first and he hoped he would get to create his own saber soon. He began to reach out with the force once more, taking in all of the movements as well as he could.

He had to get used to such use of the force, to the point where it was an unconsious notion. If he didn't he may not sense something in time, and in training that can also be dangerous. He continued to hold her gaze, awaiting his instructions for his training.

Rehni nodded, "Sensing, using for everythings froming meditating tos battlings." she told him and pulling out blindfold, "Putting this on, then listens." she simply stated, "Everythings hasing their places in the Force, their owning signature likes yous and I's." explained the Knight listening to the Force as well, she reached out making sure the test object was still prominant in the Force, "Whens you ready lets me know." she said.

Mojawk listened and nodded, memorizing everything his master said. He put on the blindfold, tying it securely to his head. He then began to reach out with the force, making sure he could sense everything as best he could. Sure enough he could send his master, standing in front of him, he could distinguish the force signatures of his class fellow jedi walking by the room on their business. He could even sense his own force signature as well.

He began to focus more, trying to distinguish real movement. Arns, legs, how people turned their heads. After a few minutes he was able to distinguish all of the movements of his fellow jedi. He smiled softly at this new form of sight. He loved the feeling of the force flowing through him, an extension of his being, yet a tool to use in times of need. He breathed a deep sigh as he continued sensing those around him until he finally spoke three simple words. "I am ready."

"Goods." she said taking out a ball about the size of her fist, "Catch." she simply stated as she threw the ball to her padawan.

Mojawk had already sensed the ball in her hand when she pulled it out. Thanks to the practice he had done earlier and just before he told her he was ready, he was able to sense exactly where the ball was. He raised his hand and caught the ball, seemingly to pluck it straight out of the air where it had been. He kept the blindfold on though, as he had not yet received instructions to take it off.

He smiled softly as he felt a very small sense of accomplishment, sure it had only been catching a small ball, but it had been a step in a new sense. One that would help him beyond any measure of lightsaber training could make up for. He stood thee and awaited his masters instructions regarding the ball.

"Sensing ins tune, goods." she stated and pulled out two more balls from a training kit, she did a quick force pull to took the ball she had already thrown at him back into her own grasp, "Cans you catching withouting catching?" she asked him and tossed one ball to him.

Mojawk sensed where the ball was and and then immediately tried searching for his inner calm. The meditating he had done the find it earlier made it much easier and he felt the power of the force embrace him as he then enveloped the ball in the force power. The ball suddenly ceased in midair. A little surprised that he had done it, he smiled in spite of himself. He tried moving the ball in the air and found it responsive to his mind.

He looked back to his master as he held the ball up and knew she would throw the other two. He began sensing the balls in her hand and began to envelop them in force energy as well. Ready to catch them out of the air immediately when the time arose. He waited patiently for his master to throw them, keeping the first ball circling over his head.

Rehni tossed the other two balls to her padawan, his progress was going good, she had a feeling he would be able to do it without too much trouble. "Making them circle me's" she instructed.

Mojawk caught the ball in midair as they left her hand and smiled softly. It had been surprisingly easy to catch them with the force. He wondered what his master would have him do next and he couldn't wait to begin. He wanted to progress badly, yet knew this impatience could be bad for him in the future, so he forced it down. He then remembered her other instructions and took all the balls and made them circle her.

He sensed her standing there, studying his progress as he followed her instructions to the letter. He continued to spin the balls around her until she instructed him to stop. He focused on the force within him once more as well. He felt the power coursing through him, he wondered how much he could control. He knew however,that that was a curiosity to be sated another day.

"Patients padawan;" said Rehni able to feel her student's egarness, "Justing becauses itses easy, do notting its be all easy." she told him feeling his emotions. She watched the balls orbit around her, "How ising your defense?" she asked him.

For the first time Mojawk had difficulty understanding what his master meant. "My defense? You mean my ability to defend myself from attack I suppose? Well I don't know." He responded as he kept the balls orbiting her as they spoke. He had a strange feeling she was going to attack him to test out his defense. Because of such he stretched his force sense out and let his body relax, to easier react to movement around him.

He breathed a long breath to ready himself in case he was correct and awaited his masters next move. Whether it be words, or actions. He sensed her standing there, still and waiting. He let the force take him, and guide his movements as he awaited her.

Mojawk was expecting his master to attack, and he was a bit surprised at her work as he sensed her move. He moved to the side, dodging her tap as he focused on the balls as well, keeping them up in the air. He continued to have them orbit her, as she never told him to not let them drop orbit. He suddenly realized how truly useful this sense was.

He was to sense and keep track of her movements while also knowing how well he was holding the balls up in the air. He smiled softly as the prospects of what this sense could truly do for him came into view. He also continued to study his master carefully, watching for any sudden movements. He began trying to push the energy needed to keep the balls orbiting her in the air, toward the back of his mind. That way he could put his main focus on her.

He succeeded a little bit. He found he could keep the balls in the air with only a small part of his focus and he used the rest of it to pay attention to her and her movements. Making sure she would not get the jump on him. He relaxed his body once more to allow himself the ability to react quickly once more.

Rehni kept dancing around her padawan, eventually getting a few taps on him, she moved faster, her padawan will have to really tap into the Force if he wanted to keep up. His reflexes were still slow, but she expected that would be overcome quickly. The knight broke his connection with the spheres and sent them at him.

Mojawk felt a few taps on him and felt his hold on the balls drop. He sensed his master dancing around him and the balls flying toward him. He quickly jumped back and decided it was time to actually defend instead of dodge. He used the force and pushed all three balls back toward her as he continued to dodge. He moved forward and began trying to tap her right back as well. Training was supposed to be as beneficial for the master as it was for the trainee after all.

He moved quickly, using the force to sense his masters movments. He tried to lay a tap on her shoulder, and then another on her rib. He tried keeping up with her as best as he could, and dodge as many of her taps as possible. However, there was only so much he could do against a jedi knight. He held control of the balls and continually sent them back at her, giving her something else to dodge or send away.
