For a long moment after he had spoken his words to her, she held his gaze and looked into his wonderful blue eyes. There was something in his words that reached out to her and she grabbed hold of them. Not so much in his words of praise of her, which had the desired effect and fortified her confidence, but for the way in which he spoke, it was like a long lost past had come back to meet with her again, a knowing of her that seemed to be hidden in a cloud masked by a veil yet to be lifted.
He knows me .. but how?
The answer to the question give by her heart. As she the gaze in his eyes, there was flicker of light within them that spoke of something hidden but she could not break the encryption. But her heart filled with warmth, and a deep caring and love ran through her body to every fiber of her being, her blood pumping rapidly around her and her mind burst with the realisation. For a moment, her head filled with confusion .. the sudden flooding of emotions like she had never felt before. She had experienced love before but not like this, this is something entirely different and filled her with an immeasurable sense of empowerment. This love is built on something, a strong foundation based in their friendship which she values, but moreover, a sense of a connection from an undefined place.
She realised she was staring and broke away from the gaze. Coci allowed herself a moment to regain composure to be able to refocus .. or at least try. She closed her eyes to do so, as it was best achieved by not looking into his eyes. She let out three long breath to calm her body and mind. The force gathered around her much quicker this time and coupled with the sense of empowerment he gave her, she surrounded the force to her body, still not achieving an even coat but she continued with the next part of the lesson.
The sound waves coming to her mind's eye, rippling through the air, it was almost as if she could feel and touch the very particles on which the sound traveled. She lifted her arms as Vexander had done, if only to aid her in the process, she created a shield of the force around them both, a shimmer of light in her mind's eye .. she could see it through the force. She pushed the force through to strengthen it to stop the sound. However, it only worked in part, the sounds of Coruscant had soften .. like a sound in distance, miles away from them, but she had not achieved complete silence.
