The Force continued to aid Kharis in the form of using Tapas that helped her endure the harsh weather conditions to reach fellow Jedi that were participating in this training course. Meeting with Jedi Knight Aiden Porte was a relief for Kharis and hopefully she can interact with the rest of the group undergoing the next phase of this training being set out before them all. A smile at the corner of her mouth when Aiden started to recognise and remember the time the two met on Naboo. It was a good time back then and her journey was just beginning within the Jedi Order situated within the High Republic and on Naboo.

"Hah, well we are close. Guess that is the sibling bond between us. Yeah we've probably grown since then Master."

In hearing from Aiden that it wasn't about placement or speed throughout this training course it helped Kharis settle down a bit as she wanted to catch-up with the rest of the class participating. May be she makes some new friends where she can learn from them and train together in their journeys as Jedi. It'd be great to perhaps join other Padawans, Knights and Masters in future assignments and missions while progressing through her Jedi training. The Force continued to keep Kharis' body warm while it endured the harsh and cold weather surrounding her as she was with Aiden and the other Jedi present.

"Where are the others Master? I wouldn't mind getting to know them and make a few friends. May be learn from them and train too."

"Masters Qel-Droma and Lossa are both here," he answered, his tone light but steady. A faint smile tugged at the edge of his mouth.

He shifted his stance slightly, giving Kharis a better view of the activity around them. A few Padawans were indeed already halfway up the mountain trail, small shapes moving steadily upward. Others lingered closer to the tents, acclimating themselves, focusing on Tapas, or trying to figure out their footing in the unfamiliar cold.

"There are some Padawans ahead," Aiden continued, "Pushing themselves early. And a few down here still finding their bearings. No wrong place to be."

He looked at her directly then, kind, steady, and without a hint of pressure.

"Take your time. Recover your breath. Then put yourself wherever feels right for you. Up the trail, with the ones warming up, or even here for a moment longer."

A pause, gentle but sure. Aiden's smile deepened just a touch. "You're not behind, Kharis. Just decide where you want to start." Aiden said with a smile as he turned back to check on Ensy.

Stood in a brief period of silence aside from the blizzard and winds howling in the background where Kharis and Aiden was. The names of Jedi Knight; Lossa Aureus and Jedi Master; Rhen Qel-Droma plus there is Aiden Porte a Jedi Knight himself that was overseeing the students who had gathered for this training exercise session open to those who wished to participate. When Aiden moved aside to allow Kharis in having a better view point of activities going on between other fellow Jedi throughout the mountain terrain she t0ok in what everyone was doing. Listened to the words Aiden had said to her as she was regaining her energy and strength.

"Huh. I can't say I have met Masters Qel-Droma or Lossa. Can you tell me a bit more about them Master?"

The mountain trail did have small shapes that were advancing further through and those were fellow Padawan Learners making haste to make progress with the training being set out here. There were signatures through the Force flickering some stronger than others as Kharis did allow her senses through the Force to kick in. Let out an exhale slowly as she was glancing towards Aiden and wondered what to do next - she wouldn't want to push herself too much but didn't want to end up being complacent either. A lot was done to get her this far in order to catch-up and make it with the rest perhaps it would do no harm in resting a bit more.

"Hmm I'm unsure what to do Master. I don't want to push myself too hard, I like to be prepared and not become complacent."

When Aiden looked towards Kharis her eyes met his there within her pupils was that fiery spirit similar to Kas that Aiden might notice as well as sense. No pressure surrounding Kharis but there was dedication and determination swelling up inside of her doing the best she can to keep calm and control herself to not get too carried away. It never got out of control for Kharis it is a struggle for her to channel this energy she has the physical training and sparring with Kas usually helps but he won't always be there. Partly why she decided to go on this venture on her own to see how far she can go without relying on her family.

"Sure alright that sounds good for now Master. Rest, recharge and regain see what lies ahead. Trust my instincts right? Ahaha."

A smile appeared on Kharis' face as she took in what Aiden had said to her about what options are available for one to take up on. It seemed the teaching and training she did with her twin brother Kas it had paid off for her to reach Aiden and the other Jedi for Tapas that is. The young Padawan Learner was wondering what is next in this field training on this world and in the mountains must be more Force abilities or techniques that Jedi can learn and use whenever faced with encounters that can be made easier through trusting the Force. It was known a Jedi doesn't stop their learning or training so Kharis was prepping herself for more.

"What else is there to learn here Master?"

 

[Ensy]

☽ Ensy ☾

Ensy stayed close as the conversation settled, listening more than speaking. The wind tugged at his cloak, the cold still there but no longer sharp in the same way. He shifted his weight in the snow, testing his footing like Aiden had suggested, then looked up again.

He glanced toward Kharis, this time offering a bigger, more open smile. She looked tired, but determined. "I'm Ensy," he said, voice bright despite the cold. "It's really nice to meet you."

His gaze drifted briefly to the others nearby. Padawans moving up the trail, voices carrying faintly through the wind, laughter mixed with effort. There were so many of them. Different faces. Different stories. And yet, here they all were, together, climbing the same mountain.

"I didn't know what to expect," Ensy admitted softly, rubbing his gloved hands together. "But… everyone's been really kind." He took a step forward, then paused, glancing back at Kharis and Aiden. "If you're heading up, I'd like to walk together."

The wind swirled around them, carrying snow and voices. New place. New people. He was trying to pay attention and be careful but it didn't feel scary. Not with everyone around.

Aiden felt the change in Ensy's posture, the way he stood a little taller, the way his smile came easier. The mountain wind still worried at cloaks and lashes, but the fear in the boy's center had softened into something more useful: attention.

He nodded to Kharis. "This is Ensy," he said simply. "He's doing well."

Then he looked back to Ensy, steady and warm. "You're right to stay close. Kindness is a choice up here, and you're making it easy to choose."

Aiden shifted his stance into the wind, subtly taking the edge of it for them. "We'll walk together," he decided, leaving no room for doubt. "Short steps. Breathe. Let the ground meet you before you commit."

He started up the trail at a measured pace, matching Ensy's stride, keeping space open for Kharis to slot in beside them.

Aiden added, calm as a hand at the back. "We go as one."

He looked to Kharis and gave a small nod. "Master Qel-Droma I don't know too much about." Aiden spoke honestly. "Lossa I know well enough, we both serve on the Council. and she is the current Battle-Master. You could learn a great deal from her."
