Teach me how to Levitate

Nar Shaddaa was one of those planets which was not only filled with dirt and the normal resouces, but was filled with dirt and normal resources in the people and moral sense. In the thirty minutes he'd been here he had laid witness to at least two muggings in a couple of alley-ways which altogether weren't even really that dark.

Off in the distance he could see the atrociously huge casino of the Red Ravens, something rumored to bring in enough revenue that it could potentially support an entire fleet of starships if the Ravens were inclined to do that sort of thing. Lancem personally didn't know how much money circulated the casino, but it was probably a fair bit even if the rumors were false. After all, casinos were for people who thought they had a lot of money to spend, but not nearly enough money to actually spend on things. It was sort of anti-climactic how they came in with hundreds of credits and then lost all of them in a matter of a couple of hours.

Anyways, that wasn't why Lancem was here. He was here to take lessons from a random person he had contacted on the Holonet about learning how to move things with his mind. It was the life-time obsession of billions of children, to look at a rock and suddenly have it fling off into your annoying siblings face. That would have been terribly useful while he was growing up. Still, the times were changing and after three centuries of life, Lancem was ready to pick up some new tricks.

He was supposed to meet the trainer just outside of one of the little shanty-towns, which sort of rang the same way that most armed robberies and muggings did. Wasn't like he had much to steal, and it wasn't horribly likely that even a group of small-timers would have the chance to kill him, they usually tried and didn't last too long. Advantages of being an ex-mercenary and for having more life experience in the fine art of killing on the planet: Check.

He saw a comfortable shady tree which surprising wasn't covered in absolute muck and slime, maybe this tree was less greedy than the other trees and therefore had yet to pick up the Hutt-like ichor which seemed to cover so much of the area.

Now he just had to wait.
And wait.
More waiting.

Was the person going to show up? It had been at least...he checked his chrono to see that it had only been about seven minutes, and that the person wasn't even necessarily late. "Knew I shouldn't have had three cups of caf before I came out here to try and wait for a person who is probably going to be late, I know i'd be late trying to avoid all those muggers and nutjobs who are roaming the area and trying to grab their extra two credchits for the day." He puffed out rapidly, scarcely taking a breath as he flew through sentences. "Just you and I, tree. Waiting til the end of the waiting period at which point we shall no longer be waiting, and shall no longer be in a period of waiting." Caf was really good, but it sure did make him say really weird things sometimes.

The padawans had amused Chiasa, so she'd kept half an eye out for anyone else fool enough to look for force crystals, force training or anything else that screamed I'm a force user. This was twofold. Partially to keep them from falling into anyone elses hands because who knew what they might be used for, and partially because it never hurt to have an up and coming force user owe you a favour.

So she'd replied when someone had been poking about looking for someone to teach them telekinesis. Why not? Telekinesis was easy. Or it was if you were self-centered enough in any case.

Which led her to a place of Declans choosing. He'd apparently cleared it as neutral ground, safe to operate on and within rapid response range. Quite frankly it was hardly up to Chiasa's standards, but she'd wanted out of the Casinos and to stretch her legs and her security tended to get antsy when she was off the grounds. Understandable but still frustrating.

Picking out who she was meant to meet was easy enough, she was watching through the Force and he showed up a mile away, aura spiking all over the place, no discipline. That was fine, that confirmed that it wasn't a set up.

~Lancem Cuiléin~

It was possible Chiasa was enjoying telepathy. It was like a fun way to sneak up on someone without ever getting near them.

When one was an Anzati, they grew up with telepathy. It was very nearly a simple facet of life for them, after all it was one of the main ways that they led prey away from their friends and family and into dark and quiet corners where they could promptly be fed upon. Everyone had to eat, even the predators that ate people after all.

Still, usually when the Lancem had done anything involving telepathy it had been within sight and very often touching the individual, he wasn't superbly powerful in it, but he was strong enough to where he could usually screw over normal people's minds when in touching range. Whatever had just spoken his name inside of his own head was most definitely not in touching range which was revealed after a rapid spin around.

He looked over to the tree, blinking a bit of surprise from his eyes as he stared at it. "Tree, I had no idea that you were a telepath. How long have you been here, oh great and wise tree. Shall you be the one teaching me the ways of telekinesis, shall you be the root upon which my learning grows?" He recited poetically as he raised his hand to the tree in a sort of greeting.

He shook his head a second later before hunching over in laughter and falling backwards onto the floor. Whoever was watching him had probably just gotten quite the show from that, and in all honesty it was pretty funny to Lancem as well. For the first time he started to wonder what his teacher actually looked like. "Probably a humanoid of some sort given the location, maybe some sort of criminal mastermind." He muttered as he glanced left and right from his position on the ground.

He took a deep breath, gathering up his concentration for a couple of split seconds before sending a slight wave of telepathy towards the origin of the last one, it would likely only come up as a tap in the Force, something to show recognition and that he had gotten the message. He released his breath, his energy once more spiking in an undisciplined manner as he waited for his tutor.

Well this was like to be amusing in any case. For all that he was undisciplined and either whimsical or a bit mad, unless she missed her guess he wasn't entirely unused to this sort of thing. Not surprising considering he'd known enough to look for a teacher, likely he'd made some progress on his own then. She felt hir foray in her direction in any case, which was generally the first thing she used to teach people mental tricks. Follow me back, find the path.

But that wasn't what he'd wanted.

~I am not a Neti, though I suppose I might have been.~

This was coloured with laughter, and delivered with a much clearer source. Where before she had merely been teasing, now she blazed the path. Beyond that, her physical attention and eyes were on him and as she drew closer in the closest she got to street clothes she more than stood out.

"I understand you needed a hand learning not to use your hands."

Definitely not a tree, well that was always a good thing to check. One never knew when trees were suddenly going to gain Force powers and start messing with society in general, that would be terrifying. Imagine you were just walking along and suddenly a tree yanked you off your feet, you would have no idea where it was or who was doing it because it was a tree! Scary thoughts.

He sensed her presence as she drew nearer to his position, it wasn't difficult with her blazing her energy out of herself. It very lightly stoked at his predatory senses, but we wasn't here to eat, he was here to learn. He spun around to face his teacher, one glance at her brought a very wide grin and a slight whistle from him. It was going to be a little bit harder concentrating now that he knew what his teacher looked like.

"To be completely honest I didn't expect that my teacher would be so beautiful, it may be infinitely more difficult to learn now. Though, I assume you have plenty of experience with doing things without your hands, so i'll gladly learn." He teased slightly as he watched her. Well, at least he would have a good time here even if he for some reason didn't learn how to move things with his mind.
