She could hear her padawan and adjusted her hands so she wasn't as stiff but remained careful. She was not going to try and send the wrong idea in these situations when looking out to see where they were heading off towards seeing this place. She could sense with her empathy something from the padawan and was unsure what it was for the moment before she spoke finally relaxing a little so that she could move with her padawan when the girl moved going through Voss towards a home. "Understood." She was reaching out with the force and sensing the world around herself to allow the others and to make sure she dind't have others out there who were really seeing this. She was not certain though where this place was.
 
As we reached the sinkhole elevator I flicked the switch to lower us down with us still atop the bike. As we descended I pulled my helmet off and clipped it to the handlebars. As we hit the ground in the sinkhole I downshifted the bike and drove into the hangar where different crates were laying about. Driving into the hangar I kicked the stand down and turned off the ignition before dismounting from the bike. Turning towards my Master I said, "Feel free to wander around Master. The gardens outside are quite nice and there's a few crates to sit on in here if you wanted to sit and meditate while I get things packed and ready to secure aboard my ship."

Looking at the area around her and the padawan. "This place is." She trailed it off while looking over many more things, the crates were there before she moved around. It gave the jedi knight a chance to as she removed the helmet look around at all of the other things. She had thought this would be just a hole in the wall but it seemed to be a well made and protected home you could be in. A benefit though she would still prefer being in the temple. Much easier to manage and control what might happen in case of emergency. "Quite adequate." She was walking around and without the helmet on or her arms around her padawan she had her cloak closed around her body so her hands being clasped behind her back couldn't be seen. She was internally timing how long this took as a jedi needed to be punctual.
 
Walking over towards a crate I checked it over and made sure the change of clothes and gear were squared in a footlocker. Loading everything into the freight elevator on The Cherry Blossom and engaging the lift I began loading the gear aboard. Turning towards my Master I said, "Master everything is loaded up now if you're ready then we can get underway any time." Walking up the ramp I waited for her to join me and begin the flight to Tund...

She was looking at all of it and prepared to wait awhile. There was no rush and they would be able to do anything that was needed in time. So when her padawan was ready and done it gave her an idea before she was moving with hands behind her back. "THen we should leave promptly as allowed. I know a great deal has been done already but those training robes you have are meant for a purpose and we can train on your ship." She had her own set of the robes, they were the better thing to have after all at least until her robes were done and set up so that a custom suit. "Once we have everything ready and can train we will begin with basic lightsaber instruction."
 
As my Master came aboard and mentioned leaving as soon as time allowed I nodded. Turning back towards the ramp I hit the button closing the bay doors. After they shut I turned back and said, "Ares plot a course to the Tund system and begin the take-off sequence. Once we've cleared atmo engage the stealth drives and begin running the ship's systems in stealth mode. Also if you wouldn't mind please switch the lights aboard to night settings." As I finished speaking the lights dimmed and switched to a green ghostly green image of Ares appeared dressed in the typical style of an Echani Goddess.

As Ares's projection appeared she looked at my Master and her projection bit her bottom lip. Then she looked at me and said. "Yes m'lady it will be done." Turning towards my Master I said, "Master if you'll follow me I'll show you your quarters and where you can square away your gear. Also I'm sorry if the AI made you uncomfortable, my sister pulled most of the custom parts for this ship from Nar Shaddaa and they're not exactly on the up and up."

I began walking her back to the cabin on the opposite side of the hall from my cabin. Both were basically the same in terms of comfort and furnishings other than the fact that mine had all custom furnishings that my sister had picked up in her travels along with my own purchases. But even if my Master had become accustomed to a lack of comfort and luxuries like a name, I wasn't about to pass up a chance to spoil her a bit. Hopefully she'd enjoy it a bit....I felt the ship begin lifting off and the slight acceleration as we broke atmo and began to head towards Tund....

Looking at the ship, there was something to be said for how it looked but she was not completely certain about a few of the things here. Seeing the AI and how it looked got more of a raised eyebrow instead of admonishing. She judged a few things but wasn't a prude... mostly it was a holographic image after all and dressing in any manner would not really alter its programming or how it acted. "it is quite alright padawan, this is your ship." She was walking with her padawan back to put her pack and her cloak there while she stood. "Thank you." Looking over more of the things before she stayed in the bodysuit part of her outfit when they were likely moving. She walked back to go and see her padawan around the ship. her hair was down letting her show she was relaxing a little.
 
After getting my Master to her quarters I went and grabbed the bag of spare clothes I'd packed aboard and took it into my cabin. After I got my clothes stowed I went to go find my Master and see what she wanted to start on for training, as well as to find out if she had a favorite dish that I could make her for dinner. We'd have a good while to spend together on the trip to Tund, as well as the time we'd have working together. I felt like maybe this would be the time to get to know her better and learn more about my Master....

OOC: Sorry when I signed back into the sight it posted as my Main Character. This one is the actual response :)

She was stretching while letting the energies come out and once everything was secured changing from the bodysuit into something more comfortable for training. The training gear as her arms were exposed with the near flawless pink of her skin. Hair down and she would be able to work with her padawan before she took her boots off ready to begin. Giving it all a chance though when hshe looked at her padawan. "Alright for training, make sure you are wearing your training robes and I will teach you a little with lightsaber techniques. The basics enough to block and deflect. Augmenting your body with the force will be a little but we shall have to work up to that." Standing there when she moved around a little stretching out in the light outfit that was more loose fitted letting her move.
 
As I'd gotten myself squared away in my cabin I'd switched into the training robes that my Master had ordered for me. Coming back out of my cabin I saw that my Master had switched out of the more formal training robes and into a formfitting bodysuit that hugged her curves very nicely...My eyes flicked over her body briefly then met her eyes as she said that we'd be working on blocking and deflection techniques. Apparently we'd be working on incorporating utilizing The Force in combat later too...

Smiling at my Master I bowed slightly and said, "Whenever you're ready Master I'm good to go."

She stretched out prepared to work on it and as her hand gripped the saber blade it hummed vibrating witht he force like a beacon in the lightside. Same as the robes themselves when she was looking at it and the blade activated. With a pale pink blade in her hand before she was standing there and ready for it. "Now bring your blade out and go into the jedi ready stance." She moved the blade to have it at an angle pointed towards the padawans head in the center of her waist. Just outside and comfortable before gripping it with two hands as she thumbed the stud deactivating fro the moment the trap grip of it for her hands and the biometric sensor pads. The resonating hum was there and her sabers was rarely seen so she was ready to train.
 
The pale pink blade that my Master held was raised at an angle towards me. Looking towards her I reached towards my left hip and pulled a blade that my sister had left me from the sheath. Force-imbued no less, the gently curved blade I brought out to my right side before spinning it back in front of my face in a duelists salute. Bringing the blade to rest against hers I opened myself to The Force and saw through my second sight. Shades of color in every emotion, every feeling were revealed in combat....

A smile crept onto my face and I waited for my Master's next move or instruction while remaining alert. The pale pink of her blade was beautiful, just like her. I hoped she wasn't reading my thoughts but if she were to read the surface thoughts I didn't think there'd be any harm in her realization that I thought she was a beautiful woman. I still would need to find out what my Master liked for food because after this training session I was fairly certain we could both use some food...

There was a moment of struggling with it, empathy and being able to feel what others have but she was able to move and moved with the jedi stance before the jedi moved with a nod of her head to see. Bringing her saber up to her chest and sticking it out to the side. Her hand going to the pommel as she was ready and spoke. "The lightsaber or any weapon that you are using as a jedi serves as both a weapon and a tool. It is something that can be used to defend but it is also for getting out of situations or being used to solve puzzles. Defending people is a noble goal but a jedi must accept that they are not going to defend or be able to defend everyone within the galaxy. There are not enough of us and there are not so many people we are only going to be able to save so many. That is why you must be able to reach serenity within the chaos that is combat. See the power of it and be able to move with the force guiding your movements."
 
As my Master spoke I listened. The knowledge that I'd not be able to save everyone was well known to me as was the idea of a weapon not simply being a weapon, but a toll as well. Looking at her I said, "Aye Master, the ability to save everyone isn't within any of our grasps. Nor should it be I think...It wouldn't be worth anything if we could. As to finding serenity in chaos, well the combat instructor I trained under on Eshan said something to us all that there is beauty in battle. Not of the battle itself for war is an ugly thing, but in the emotions you can see through others' actions on the field. How you could see what drove them without any hidden truths as it was evident in how they fought as to why they fought too."

Blushing a bit I realized I'd probably gotten a bit preachy or had sounded like a know-it-all...I was passionate about my beliefs in serenity while in the midst of chaos. It came with being Echani I guess, we were raised to learn to see beauty through combat. I'd become an Echani Firedancer before I'd left Eshan. Looking back now I missed my combat and blade instructor I hoped Natashia was still on Eshan as I needed to pay her a visit. She'd always seen so much, despite being blind there was a beauty in what she'd taught me of the Miraluka...

A nod to that and it was good to see understanding for what we would be able to do. She wasn't going to try and preach it or drive it home, people needed to understand and her padawan had the idea. whether she had learned and felt it was another story but you would eventually being a jedi. Most she had seen seemed to take that as a sign that they were evil because they failed to a person but suddenly ignore all that they have been doing or the good. Her hands were moving to change the grip a little before she moved in and let her footing to move to the side as she brought the saber forward to slowly strike and get a block from her padawan. Start her off slow and she knew that the training outfits they had were more then equipped to handle lightsabers. Aged wintirium that got stronger with age and maintained that lightweight quality compared to many of the others.
 
I saw recognition from my Master's face and maybe a bit of something else, pride maybe? I hoped I could make her proud... I wanted to be able to live up to what a padawan should be. I saw her footwork change and her grip on the hilt of her weapon change before I actually saw her begin the strike. As the blade moved towards me I flicked my right hand towards the left bringing my blade against hers moving it to the side while simultaneously preparing me for a quick backslash. After the initial contact I looked at her and asked, "So tell me Master, what kind of food do you enjoy? Any particular favorite dishes?"

Moving my feet as I spoke I adjusted my footing slightly to provide the ability to either move forward and press the advantage of fall back and defend against her next strike. As it was I was sure my Master had some tricks up her sleeves...

Hmmm did she really have any food that she liked... she had never really thought about it as they were jedi. Favorites shouldn't be a big thing but there was always bound to be something that a person liked she understood more then the other things. Even among the simple meals of the jedi which while becoming thanks to Sasori and is food maker Saori were getting to be better tasting, higher quality while still being simple. It gave the jedi something better that others seemed to treat any advancement as wrong. It confused her as they usually weren't even jedi but she had to listen to their opinions. She moved with her footing to bring the blade back and strike again shifting position to come up from an angle but this was for study and fu when she moved around more making it a circle.
 
Looking at my Master I noticed there was a contemplative look on her face, almost as if she was trying to figure something out. Probably trying to figure out if there actually was a favorite food she had...It made me sad, that she was this incredibly beautiful woman so serene and yet so wanting for the simple luxuries like a name. The fact that she had to think about it so deeply in terms of food was heartbreaking. I guess I still didn't understand giving up something like your name. I respected her decision but I'd learned some time ago that you can respect someone's decision without fully understanding why.

I saw the shifting of her footing as she thought and moved her blade away. Then she did something I'd seen very few people do well even if they were a Master. As she pulled her blade away she inverted it so the blade was pointed towards my throat with the hilt towards the floor. Driving it up as she brought her footing around I brought my blade into a horizontal block pushing down against her blade redirecting the tip towards the deck plating as I darted back away from the blade tip.

Looking at her I said, "That was... unexpected Master. I've seen very few people do that as easily as you just did. Last one was my combat and blade instructor on Eshan... If you don't mind Master I'd like to ask a bit more about you and your past whatever you're comfortable sharing that is...I realize I'm only your padawan but I've the curse of insatiable curiosity as well..." Blushing slightly I hoped I didn't seem too eager or too forward...I was genuinely curious though....

In the results she had thought about it but hadn't spoken.... there was a look of almost suppressed embarrassment to it when her padawan was speaking once again to give a better idea. "Your skills are impressive and well honed. if you have skills such as this as a padawan it could go very well in the future but ensure you do not become to overconfident." She was looking at her and her padawan wanted to know more about her past which she was guessing was to be expected. It was not often a person encountered a jedi with no real name so she could indulge her. She had earned it after all deactivating the lightsaber and motioned over to a small area to sit. "I suppose it is only fair. I know plenty about you and likely you have not met people who don't have an identity."
