Alhazred continued to observe and instruct the Orcalon, though for the most part he was silent.
"Progress" The Nu-Vaal stated simply after a lengthy pause. He had never been in the position of teacher like this before and was unsure the best way to approach it. Yes, Duma was getting frustrated, but in his own experience, that frustration would either be controlled or force a surrender in the padawan. If Duma could not get over his own frustrations, he would not make a very good Jedi
"It is progress. But like I stated, it will take practice to get it down to the point where you can do so without error consistently. And hopefully in time we can find some better hand signs for you to utilize. "
Alhazred began to pick himself up again. "Time that we no longer have at the moment. I've recovered enough and my spawn's time becomes more limited. What you've learned so far will hopefully be enough. For now, focus entirely on just letting the force flow through you and your actions, and to not rely on your blade's crystal. Blast as you must, and if you are unable to form the signs, then simply blast as you normally do, as taxing as it will be. But continue to focus entirely on letting the force flow through you like just now, and we will survive this ordeal."
With that, Alhazred gestured for the padawan to follow him back into the trees. Back towards where the dead were no doubt waiting. As they walked, Alhazred continued to talk about how the two were going to get into the sunken ship.
"Before, I was able to get to the Glass Eye by simply swimming down. Nu-Vaal biology has some advantages. But last time i tried, that Captain froze the water around me, forcing me to focus on generating heat to stay alive. If you hadn't arrived when you did, I'm not sure how much longer I could've lasted.
"This time, I will make a way to the Glass Eye, for the both of us. Such a feat will only be possible with sign casting, but even then, I will need protection. I can't focus on my task and keeping Captain Barnacles or whatever his name is away. You may not have mastered sign casting yet, but I think you will be up to the task of keeping them off of me without injuring the wisps too much. Once inside, we will get to the Tython Table, and complete the ritual and end this nuisance to Dagobah's ecosystem"
