Tython
Temple Grounds
If one wanted to master a lightsaber, there were a few names that were near the top of the list - Noble, Vanagor, and Si first came to mind. Partly because each was an accomplished master in their own right, pushing the frontiers of swordplay further and further with each year. Partly because, at least in Klar's case, they spent a lot of time on or around Tython and the aspiring battlemaster had had a lot of time to consider and refine her approach. She kept a small, private list of the Masters whom she wished to learn from, and what she wanted to learn from them, along with how she thought best to approach them each. An exceedingly normal thing to do, anyone would agree. Besides - she was Masterless. Klar was largely on her own to seek training and direction.
Jonyna Si
was near the top of Klar's list, however. The Codru-Ji girl had spent a great deal of time practicing her stances, flowing from one form to another. With four hands to work with, she had the flexibility to change how she adapted to any given situation - and her use of twin splitsabers had been made with that practice in mind. More than probably anyone else on Tython, or at least as far as Klar knew, Master Jonyna Si understood and had mastered this process. She had peerless mastery of several forms, was able to switch between multiple weapons fluidly, AND did so while utilizing her tail in combat. That prehensile tail was practically a hand in and of itself, and Klar hard heard tell of how Master Si could utilize it with just as much mastery as her hands. That she could do so while on fire was just icing on an already envy-inducing cake.From what Klar could dig up, the Cathar was the direct sort. She made things, she spoke her mind, and like the elements over which she exuded mastery, her direct nature was backed by unfathomable power. Klar could not be circumspect with this, she'd realized. It'd be best to approach directly. And she WOULD have... were she not also horrifically intimidated by the Cathar woman in a way that she simply wasn't when it came to some other Masters. Perhaps because she had enough in common with Jonyna that the stakes for embarrassing herself were higher. More than any Master Klar knew of, Jonyna represented the closest image of the Jedi Klar aspired to be - if not the Jedi she was best suited to becoming. Entirely separate from that, Jonyna's vibrant manner of dress and proud existence both fascinated and stood in stark contrast to Klar's generally reserved fashion choices, which was also something she wished she could be braver about.
There was also something to be said about cats and dogs. But not much.
It'd taken crossing paths three times in the Jedi Temple before Klar worked up the courage to approach her quarry.
In this instance, she'd spotted the Cathar moving down the grand stairs in front of the Jedi temple. Eager to not lose another shot, Klar jogged down the stairs to catch up, calling out with a cautious "Master Si! Master Si - a word?" The young blonde woman attempted hopefully. "Beg your pardon, and I hate to interrupt, but would it be possible for me to run some of my forms by you and perhaps receive some guidance?" She imagined a Jedi Master walking through the Jedi Temple heard that exact request no less than a dozen times a day, but... if she didn't shoot her shot, she couldn't risk a win, right?
