Private Driftwood

"Blast, Trex," she said, still half-smiling. "You really haven't had much training in meditation or mental aspects since we last trained together?"

"Er...no," he admitted. His thoughtful expression was changed into a half-smile that matched her own.

"Alright," she said, a little more grounded. "How about you walk me through what you know, and we'll take it from there?"

"So we were taught how Sith would use a type of memory walking. This was during the war," Trextan explained.

"They could make you relive your worst memories or they could change them and twist them."

"A jedi can mediate and settle into memories of their own. Try and move through them. I think some were taught it so they could take control of a Sith used it for torture."

Choli's brow knit as she listened, the thought settling heavy behind her eyes. Memory walking. The idea that someone could walk through their memories… or worse, twist someone else's?

That was a whole different kind of power.

She leaned back slightly, gaze drifting toward the stars outside the cockpit, her mind turning it over. Reliving the worst parts....she wasn't sure she wanted that. But being able to sift through the haze? Maybe find the edges of what she'd lost?

Her head tilted, voice steady when she finally spoke.

"You've used it before, then?" she asked, tone simple. Not suspicious. Just… curious. Wanting to know what she was stepping into.

Trextan realised that Choli was still struggling to deal with a possible period of torture that had been wiped from her mind and he was describing a technique for torturing a person and changing memories.

He had been focussed on admitting how he felt and now he wasn't thinking logically. He would have told her, but he might have found a way to talk around the subject and soften the explanation.

Then Trextan realised that probably would have frustrated her more. She liked people to get to the point. She was usually more patient when he was struggling to do something mechanical with his hands.

"Not very well. You get into a slow breathing, meditative stance. You touch the Force and try and focus on particular memories."

Maybe she didn’t make herself clear. What Choli wanted to know is if Trextan had used that very same technique the Sith used as Memory walk on another.

When they were together, he only spoke a little of his experiences, but not all.

Honestly that sort of power wasn’t something Choli wanted to bridge much less experience.

“Mental things don’t seem to work well for me. “ she admitted, exhaling slowly as she raked olive fingers over her hair.

“So I’ve always struggled with it.” What she didn’t realize it was because she was an Epicanthix.

"No they don't. I..."

Trextan looked up at her. She was probably sensitive enough to feel the flow of the Force shift.

"... I can't feel your thoughts or feelings at all."

That went further back than her original capture, so it wasn't some kind of natural defence she had raised against it.

"I'm always here just to talk about it too," Trextan said, in a rare moment of clarity whilst trying to find a magical fix.

"What happened on Kaeshana. Even if that's the best help I can be."

She hadn't always opened up about it. It was closed off to her and it had always seemed best to just move on. The First Order of old had no hold over her any more. The Ren who had tortured her this time were dead. That wasn't a very Jedi thought, but it made Trextan feel a little better.
