[Colette]

Reina Daival

Colette's eyes flicked to Reina, catching the slight shift in her posture. The memories of the experiments were still fresh, and Reina's anger and hatred were raw. Justified as she was in feeling such emotions, that still didn't make her right. Colette let out a quiet sigh. This lesson would take time to sink in.

She leaned away, arms crossed, gaze unwavering. "And so that closure and justice is something you have the right to hand out?" she asked, shifting her weight from one leg to the other before she continued. "Why? Because you're a Jedi? Because you can fight? Because they are weak and you are strong?"

"Don't answer that." she said, turning away to pick up her shirt from the ground. "I want you to spend a few days thinking about it and then tell me about it the next time we meet."

And in the same way that Reina had finally started to open up to Colette and let her master in, those doors had almost immediately shut closed once more. Whether Colette meant it or not, she had implied that Reina was even the slightest bit similar to Serina. It had been a fear that had been plaguing Reina for a while. A fear she had wanted to approach but Colette had just shown Reina that she was not the person for Reina to approach about that, as the Ersansyr just brushed herself down.

There was no anger. No. Anger wasn't worth it. If anything, Reina was just...apathetic. Numb. Yet another time she tried to open up to someone to trust them, and yet another time she had been hurt. Even if it had been a mistake or accident, Reina didn't care in this moment as she turned her attention towards the lake.

"I'll make my own way back, Master."

Master. Another way that Reina was closing off once more. As opposed to just referring to Colette as well...Colette. This was certainly going to have its ups and downs, but at the moment this rollercoast seemed to be spiralling downwards for Reina.

Master? Colette paused for a moment, one leg still out of her pants. Reina hadn't called her that in a while now. Either that meant she had struck a nerve, or Reina was being cheeky. The tension in the air made the former feel a lot more likely.

But she wasn't about to let Reina see her rattled. She kept getting dressed, watching as Reina sulked by the waters.

She'd seen this coming. Maybe it wasn't the best outcome, but close enough. Which part of the lecture that had set Reina off didn't matter, what mattered was that for better or worse she would give at least some additional thought on the matter. Either to prove Colette wrong or to let the slight fester.

"If you need time for yourself, that's fine." Colette eventually said as she pulled her boot over her foot and carefully stomped it into its sweet spot. "There'll be food when you come back."

Colette hesitated before she added: "Good work today, Reina."

There was no words in response to the mentioning of food or how Reina had done a good job. The redhead just raised a thumbs up above her head to acknowledge that she had heard it all. If anything, Reina could be a bit cheeky and get her own food by swimming through the lake but she wasn't going to be that bad. She just needed time to herself. Time to think and come to terms with things. Thinking was never a good thing for her, but she was slowly but surely starting to get more and more into it.

She just needed to find someone separate from the life of a Jedi for her to talk to. Someone who wasn't connected to it all. Sure, there was her birth family that she had found...but they were also separated from the concept of the Force so it wouldn't help. Who knows. Maybe in the future, Reina will find someone new to tell her worries to. Someone new to show affection towards.
