Kyrie let out a slow breath through her nose, some of the earlier tension still clinging to her shoulders, but no longer coiled as tight. “…You’re very calm about something that feels like it could go catastrophically wrong,” she muttered.

Still, she followed when Matsu motioned, falling into step a pace behind her again. Her eyes tracked the movement automatically—habit—but it wasn’t sharp the way it had been before. Just… present. “Yeah, well,” Kyrie added after a moment, “meditation sounds like a terrible idea right now.”

Her brow furrowed slightly. “If what you’re saying is true, I sit still long enough and this whole thing gets louder?” She shook her head once. “I’m not convinced I want that yet.”

Kyrie glanced off to the side as they walked, expression thoughtful but edged with hesitation. “…But I get the point.” A small pause. “I didn’t ask about it for no reason.”

Her fingers flexed lightly at her side, grounding herself. “And yeah… it’s not going away.” That came quieter. More certain. Kyrie’s gaze flicked back toward Matsu as she mentioned her wife, something shifting again—less resistance, more curiosity.

“Fifty three years,” she repeated, like she was testing the scale of it. Her brow lifted slightly. “…That’s a long time to not ruin something.” There was a faint, dry edge to it—but not dismissive. Just… honest.

Kyrie walked in silence for a few steps after that, turning the thought over. We took a step. Her jaw tightened faintly. “…I don’t like steps that don’t have a clear outcome,” she admitted.

Her eyes dropped briefly to the floor, then lifted again. “But I guess that’s the point, isn’t it.” Another pause. Kyrie exhaled slowly. “I don’t think I’m ready to just walk up to her and say it,” she said. “Not yet.”

Her gaze shifted forward, more focused now. “But I’m also not pretending this is nothing anymore.” That felt like a line being drawn. She glanced sideways again. “…And if meditation is going to force it out anyway, I’d rather decide when that happens.”

A faint huff of breath followed. “Preferably not in the middle of a room full of people.” Kyrie adjusted her stride slightly, falling more evenly in step now. “…So I’ll think about it,” she said. “And maybe not run from it.”

A beat. Then, quieter— “That’s about as far as I’m getting today.”

She listened as the woman debated and talked with herself working through the stages and just held a bemused look on her face. "Sounds like a plan." She said it going from the courtyard into a room and she set Hanae down who looked with a frown before she gave her the bag of candy. The little girl roaming off with the other two as Matsu spoke gliding to the center of the room. "We won't meditate but I will answer and help with your force related issues while you are here. There is a lot more that can be learned and spoken about." The jedi grandmaster rremained there at the ready while she hovered but allowed a space for Kyrie to be able to join her.

Kyrie gave a small, almost immediate nod as they stepped into the room, some of the tension easing out of her shoulders. “…Good,” she said under her breath. “That’s—good.”

There was a faint trace of relief in it as the topic shifted away. She stepped forward into the space Matsu had left open, her posture settling into something more familiar—less tangled in thought, more grounded in what she knew. Kyrie glanced briefly toward Hanae as the girl wandered off with the candy, a flicker of something softer passing through her expression before she refocused.

“You said you’d help with Force-related issues,” Kyrie began, tone more steady now. “I can start there.”

She lifted one hand slightly, as if illustrating the thought. “I can sense danger,” she said. “Not just obvious threats—more like… pressure building. Something about to go wrong before it actually does.”

Her brow furrowed faintly as she tried to explain it. “It’s not perfect. But it’s enough to react early.”

Her hand lowered, then lifted again after a beat. “And when I touch things sometimes,” she added, slower, “I can… see things.”

A small pause. “Not clearly. Not always. But impressions. Moments tied to the object.” Her gaze sharpened slightly. “History. Emotion. Whatever left a mark.”

Kyrie tilted her head. “That’s been useful.” A faint, practical edge returned to her tone. “Tracking people. Figuring out what happened in a place. Reading something that wasn’t meant to be obvious.”

She folded her arms loosely again, though this time it felt more like habit than defense. “Both of those are… valuable,” Kyrie said. “In hunting.”

A brief pause, then her expression shifted—curiosity threading through it now. “But that’s just what I already have,” she continued. “You said there’s a lot more.”

Her gaze fixed more directly on Matsu. “What else goes into being a Jedi?” she asked.

A beat. Then, more pointed—“And could I be both?”

Kyrie’s brow lifted slightly. “A Jedi… and a bounty hunter.” She let the question sit there, watching for the reaction. “Or do those two things not mix?”

SHe was listening to her for the moment and gave a nod as psychometry and precognition were mentioned and described. Good skills to have while the grandmaster moved a little with interest. "Hmm well these days the jedi order certainly is something new in good and bad ways but there has never been anything against a jedi collecting bounties. Sometimes maybe questionable bu in theory they are doing it for worlds and helping with crime which is a goal they try and do to keep the peace." She said it but held a hand up. "As too how much there is well that is difficult. There is a great deal one can learn once they have learned the basics. Improving yourrself and your knowledge will always open new paths to you as well and make learrning what the force can do an amazing journey."

Kyrie listened, her expression tightening slightly in thought as Matsu spoke, but there was a small, almost imperceptible ease at the answer. “So it’s not incompatible,” she said quietly, more to confirm than challenge. Her gaze lingered for a moment, weighing that, then shifted forward again.

A brief pause. “…Then I’d need the basics,” Kyrie added, more directly. She straightened slightly, focus sharpening. “Is there someone here who would actually teach me that?”

Her hand came up to her chest. "Do you not like learning from me?" The jedi grandmaster took a moment and mostly did it in good humor and overly dramatically just for the moment though. "The basics of the force are what we all have. It is just brigning it out and the first start is stilling your mind of distractions to feel and call the force to you. To find that place in your mind between the chaotic thoughts and the serene emptiness. To be where the celestial falls to meet the rising man." THe jedi master though motioned so that she could come and sit in front of her. "Find what helps you, breathe and go to that place in your mind without distraction. Like when you are on a hunt."

Kyrie blinked at the dramatic reaction, caught off guard for a half-second. “What—no, that’s not—”

She stopped, a faint flush rising across her cheeks as she realized how that had sounded. “I didn’t mean it like that,” she said quickly, rubbing the back of her neck. “I just assumed… you’re the Grandmaster. You probably have more important things on your calendar than teaching me how to sit still.” The last part came with a faint, self-aware huff.

Kyrie exhaled, letting that pass, then nodded once. “…But I’ll take the offer.”

She stepped forward when motioned, lowering herself to sit across from Matsu. Her posture wasn’t perfect—more practical than formal—but she settled in, grounding herself. “Like a hunt,” she repeated quietly.

Her hands rested loosely on her knees as she drew in a slow breath, eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to follow the instruction. “…Alright,” Kyrie murmured, more to herself than anything.

"What could be more important then aiding a young force user in being able to open her mind to a universe of possibilities. I prefer knowing any that I can and encounter." She said it when she was looking at her but offered the place for her to be able to come over and quiet her mind. "I have plenty of time, we'll teach you and then you can rest up or of as you would like." The grandmaster moved quietly around her while the girl was sitting there and focusing. "Yes go to that place when you are hunting, that stillness and clarity, that place your mind will be able to connect to a target and then switch it... connect to the universe to the energy field that weaves throughout all life."

Kyrie shifted slightly, then moved closer into the space Matsu indicated, settling beside her without hesitation. She adjusted her posture, shoulders loosening as she planted her feet and rested her hands lightly on her knees.

A slow breath in. Then out. Her eyes lowered, not fully closed at first—just softened—before she let them shut completely.

Kyrie didn’t speak. She followed the instruction exactly. Her breathing steadied, deeper now, more deliberate. The tension that usually lived in her frame began to ease as she reached for that familiar place—the stillness she knew from a hunt.

Her jaw unclenched. Her brow smoothed. Another breath. In. Out. The sharp edges of awareness shifted, no longer scanning outward for threats but narrowing inward, finding that quiet, focused point she relied on before a strike. Kyrie stayed there, silent, letting the rhythm take over.
