Private What I have to give the Galaxy needs

It was strange for Reina. Strange that she was with Valery Noble not for something related to training. Of course it made sense. Reina still needed time to adjust to everything after the change she had went through. She felt like she was making adequate progress, though she wasn't anywhere near recovered. It was taking a lot of adjustment for Reina, especially after she had realised quite quickly after being rescued that she could no longer drink her worries away. It just meant that she had to find healthier alternatives. Like meditation. If anything, whilst her body felt more strange and unwelcoming than ever, the Force felt like an old friend that comforted Reina. Yet she found herself getting distracted as Reina shook her head, turning her gaze towards Valery, giving the woman a small smile.

"...So...What's on the agenda for today?"

Another sign of the belief and trust Reina had in Valery. Reina was actually talking. With most people, Reina had been sticking to non-verbally communicating with them. She was afraid of her voice now. Afraid of what becoming an Ersansyr had done to it. Afraid of how it would affect the people around her. But Reina believed her new melodious voice wouldn't affect Valery. That didn't mean Reina was going to turn into some kind of chatterbox however. She still tried her best to speak as little as she needed to. Until she could get someone to help her understand what she could do now, she was going to be more careful than ever.

It was amusing in a way. Reina had never been an overly careful person. She had always wanted to rush into things, but now? She was learning what it meant to be patient. It was a lesson she had been trying to learn when she had lost her leg...but even that was back now. A lesson that was almost ripped away from her. Very few people would have blamed her if she went back into rushing into things, with nothing to hold her back anymore...but instead she was doing the opposite. Reina might have said it was because she was still trying to learn how to be patient...but the real answer was that Reina had lost her confidence. She didn't believe she was the same Reina as before. Not anymore.

Valery glanced over at Reina, her expression softening into a warm smile at the question. It was good to see the young woman willing to talk, after all that had happened. "Nothing that involves training," Valery said as she adjusted the strap of the small satchel slung at her side. "No lessons, no sparring, no endless hours of meditation. Today isn't about being Jedi. It's about being you."

Her eyes lingered on Reina for a moment, "We're going to take a walk through the markets, maybe stop at one of the gardens, and I've heard there's a place nearby that does the best sweetbread in the sector. A day to breathe, to just… enjoy yourself." Valery reached out, her hand brushing lightly against Reina's arm. "You've been through enough tests already. You don't need another. What you need is time. And maybe a little fun to remind yourself of who you still are."

Her lips curved into a faint smirk, a spark of playfulness slipping into her tone. "Besides, I could use the company. It gets boring when it's just me."

She gestured forward, inviting Reina to fall into step beside her. "So, what do you say? Shall we make a day of it?"

"Honestly? Meditation has been helping for once...I'm still no good at it...but it's helping me figure out...how to get comfortable with myself. Just sitting there...breathing."

The slight smile that was on Reina's face vanished for a moment when Valery suggested they were going to walk through the markets. That meant people. That meant Reina would have to stop talking. She needed to find someone who could teach her how to control that aspect of herself, but until that moment, she was going to be fine trying to go off what limited communication she could do. It would give her a more practical experience to try and use what little Sign Langauge she had been learning.

"...I still think I have a few more tests I need to go through. I'm not...the same person I was before. A lot of the trials I went through...are pointless now."

As she spoke, Reina looked down at her hand, stretching it out and clenching it, as if she was waiting for it to change. That was one thing she had at least started to get a slight handle. Reina knew how to focus her body well enough for the transformation. Otherwise she would be still flopping around the place like a fish.

"Though...getting out will do me some good. Colette's been wanting to focus on my recovery and healing. I suppose this will help."
