The Mentor
"Is it? Never been one for fashion. I think you're cute with or without it" He remarked seriously, in a way that almost made it hard to tell whether he was being truthful or flirting. Or both. He spun his lightsaber through his fingers a moment before shutting it off and clipping it back to his belt. Josh was taking notes though, believe it or not, things he would likely talk to Asaraa about later. While their banter had been the cause, she had gotten distracted, had not kept her guard up. She had forgotten where she was. Banter, flirting, their shenanigans... It was all fine. Otherwise he wouldn't do it. But... At all times, Asaraa needed to remember where she was. She couldn't let her guard down. No matter what went on... And no matter who was with her. He wouldn't always be here to cover for her. But she knew that last bit, he hoped... She was almost ready to be a Knight, after all, according to his peers.
Of course, he wasn't thinking about just now, as he noted the holes in the cultist's torso. Perhaps he had acted prematurely, as it seemed Asaraa had been prepared in that moment, and had been at least since the battle had begun. But he had been considering the battle's start. She had been caught off guard, and she seemed to forget for a moment that they were in what was most likely a Sith hovel. He'd make suggestions to her later, he decided, in lieu of her Master. Helping Padawans, his students or not... That was part of his job as a Jedi Master. To guide, and enrich the next generation.
Still, at least Yuroic had given her some sound advice. But her training was incomplete. He felt bad for her... It reminded him of how long he went without a Master. His first turned out to not be who he thought he was... The next died. The next abandoned him. The last... Never was there, really. He had to figure it all out for himself, and even as a Knight, he still had much to learn. If there was a way to prevent Asaraa from turning out like he had, and knowing as much as she could going in... He'd help her.
When Asaraa bent over, Josh would purposely - Purposely go out of his way to stare directly from behind her toward her bottom. Brazenly. In a way so bold and so obvious that he knew she'd know. And a small smirk crossed his face, as his own side of the flirtations continued. But despite where his sight was going, his mind, his senses, they were elsewhere. They were all around. Even with his eyes up front, he never let his guard down, even for a moment. They were trying to pierce the darkness around them... Even the murkiest of darkness could be pierced to find what hid in the shadows.
Tracking was a good plan, he noted. But while they knew where some of their opponents were, it was best to use that information to take precaution. His gaze moved up from her hindquarters to where the last aggressor had come from, the one who had come from behind Asaraa. "Better idea" He spoke, that smirk widening into a grin as he would close his eyes and allow himself to communicate with Asaraa telepathically.
"We go through that way above. Odds are we'll find a bunch of them holed up right where we jump in and stop an ambush.. Or we'll find our way into their little hole and be able to take them by surprise."
