Rya sat in silence thoughtfully considering the woman’s words. Maybe it was simply her way of thinking, or maybe she was judging the situation correctly, but she couldn’t help but see their exchange as a test of some kind. She hated getting anything less than a perfect score on tests.
“I’m obviously not strong in my own personal ability or in connections yet. Having my name attached to the Jedi at least for now gives me credibility and the backing of a large organization in the event I end up in a tight spot.” She knew the Jedi didn’t sacrifice their own as carelessly as the average military does. It made them good allies for the moment.
“At the same time, I know all too well from my own experience as I’ve expressed to you that sticking to one people’s interpretation and application of the Great Presence means missing out on a wealth of knowledge.” She wouldn’t make that same mistake again. Even now she couldn’t help but seethe at the thought of how much more proficient she could be at her age had she been given the proper training.
If she’s opened her mind. She broke contact with Venatrix for a moment and sifted through the miscellaneous gear on her belt. Hopefully one of them would prove useful now. She held out a small knife and thought I hope this works. And with that, cut a slash across her palm. She let out a hiss but focused instead on the woman in front of her.
As droplets of blood began to fall she said “Open my mind.”
