Turmoil had always been an unfamiliar feeling.

While it had been some days since the meeting of the Jedi, the meeting of their political and social state, Syrena could still hardly shake the feelings that had sunk in the days prior. Her mind plagued with the thoughts of doubt and concern for approval, she had taken to visiting the Jedi Temple's halls during the little time she had provided herself for her trip to the Core Worlds. Her master was gone, his words the only thing left of him and she had been thrust into an arena full of ideals she struggled to absorb.

It was with the temple however, a small emplacement that stood constant in the fragments of her recollections, that she found herself the most at peace. Wandering it's many halls with nothing but the aimless desire to explore and understand. Seeing the statues of Jedi of legend, reading the texts left behind by faces that very few remembered, there was a wholesomeness to the temple that she could not ignore that she wondered held true to it's past inhabitants.

Almost as if the Force was drawing her in to let it's flow encompass her with the feelings and guidance that it intended for her.

Her serenity was broken, however, upon the startling realization that she was not alone in the section of the library that she had drifted herself to. Whether it was her lack of awareness, enthralled in her thoughts, or a confidence in the notion that few would approach her she did not know but she became aware of Grandmaster Wyatt Morga Wyatt Morga 's presence all the same. Ultimately she came to feel as though the Force itself was urging her to approach him.

To acquire a semblance of peace for her mind.

"Master Morga," she began, her voice coming quiet and wispy at first, "I think I failed to introduce myself at the meeting before." When her thought finally crossed the gap between them she had settled some feet from him with her arms pulled gently in front of her, her hands folded against her waist. Her brows raised inquisitively as her fingers tugged nervously at her sleeves, the outsider feeling once again washed over her while her feet kept her planted in place. "My name is Syrena,

Syrena Kothari. I hope you understand that I do not disagree with what you said,"
she uttered, her voice escalating in volume bit by bit, "I simply wanted to convey my concern for the tenants of the code I've always been told and voice my aversion to conflict." She continued, her lips becoming tight as she waited for her thoughts to fully materialize, her mind passively split between active thought and a draw upon the Force to understand the feelings and conflicts that may have been filling the Jedi Master's mind.

"Even if my delivery was lacking."

Wyatt glanced up from his holopad as the mysterious voice came to him. He gave Syrena a warm and inviting smile before setting the holopad down - and giving her his full attention. He brought himself to sit on the fountains edge and crossed his hands over his lap;​
Disagreements are common. The Jedi are all privy to their opinions, and I can’t blame you for upholding pacifism like so many others.”, he smiled with no hint of chiding.​
I’ve found that the Code doesn’t restrict conflict - but it does restrict hatred.”, he said with a nod.​
We can fight the Sith, so long as we do not hate them, and always act with a level head. I’ve read that was Lord Hoth’s mistake once upon a time - for as great a jedi as he was, he held much pride for himself, and hatred for the Sith in his crusades.”, Wyatt acknowledged.​
But alas, he did the Jedi much good - even if he could have done things slightly differently.”​
 
The momentary silence was deafening as she waited for him to turn. Her entire body tensing for the moments it took for him to fully come to face her. However, it was with the appearance of his smile that a soothing sensation washed over her that left her with little more than a warm eagerness to accept whatever he might say.

The anxiety had been suppressed.

"Lord Hoth," she murmured as her hands came to relax against her waist, her chest no longer reflecting hastened breathing, "he used the Sith's greatest weapon against them.

Correct?"
She asked with a slight tilt of her head to emphasize her curiosity. "But what you're saying is that there's a difference between fighting the Sith and losing who we are as Jedi? Or am I still not fully understanding what you're trying to express?"

For the briefest of moments she shifted one of her feet to shift her weight and dismiss a feeling of self doubt. As easy as it was to try and absorb Morga's knowledge she could not stop herself from the desire to ask questions, to learn.

"The Jedi protect the weak, those who cannot fight for themselves, but should I be asking how we should really be interpreting those tenants?" She asked with a raise of her brow and a perk in her expression that lit up her eyes. "If we don't take action to protect others, in our own volition, we leave them, as well as ourselves, in need of protection that we cannot hope to rely upon others to provide."

Correct.”, Wyatt acknowledged as he listened to the Jedi Padawan.​
There is a fine line we as Jedi commit ourselves to when we choose to fight. The Sith find power and purpose in emotion - more specifically, in things like Hate, Fear, and Anger; and those are easy ways to fall into the Darkness.”, he offered to her.​
So long as we fight the Sith without those things in our heart - that we do it for the love of the sentients, and push the Sith back to a point of safety for everyone, then we have done our job. Despite the danger of bringing war to otherwise ‘stable’ planets, their stability comes at the cost of oppression, murder in the millions, and more.”, he said with a shake of his head.​
But yes, you have the understanding of what I was hoping to impart in that meeting.”, he said with a nod.​
