All In Your Mind | The Je'daii Order

[Caedyn Arenais]

[member="Sobaan Palle"] scrambled out of the cupboard and into the open Kitchen causing Caedyn's eyes to follow the younger boy a little dumbstruck. His mouth curled to one side in an amused smirk and tilting his head back, he couldn't help but chuckle at the sound of the Togruta's whining. "Uhm...-Thirsty? Or more food..." His brows furrowed a little though the smirk remained as he tried to guess what the new kid was saying to him. Deciding that, given the sticky buns had been raided, the cooler seemed the best bet, Caedyn moved away from where the fruit was kept and instead opened the grate standing metal crate to be greeted by the cool frosted air of the fridge. Reaching on into the fridge, Caedyn grabbed both Sobaan and himself a can of something tasty and fizzy before tossing the second lightly to the little lad.

"Try this...It tastes kinda like bubble gum and pop-rocks" He smiled, both glad to be of use but also appreciating the drink for himself as he cracked the tap open at the top with an audible hiss and took a mouthful. Closing the fridge again, the fruit itself wasn't so difficult to find, though a few shelves higher than Caedyn, he guided it down through the practice of telekinesis so that the platter of fruit would take to his left palm, carrying the drink in his right and turning to step away slowly glancing back to Sobaan again, "C'mon, I think there are others arriving now...".

Returning to the main foyer or hall where [member="Asha Hex"] would be setting up and awaiting their guests and fellow Je'daii, Caedyn sat the platter down upon the main table for all to help themselves and soon turning his full attention back to his new found friends; "So...Where'd you come from, how'd you get here and how long have you been in with the Je'daii?" He asked the three questions all at once, his curiosity showing.

As soon as the drink hit his hand he popped the top of it and started guzzling it down. The cool liquid wasn't just refreshing, it washed the sticky buns down his throat and made him feel like he could breath unhindered again. That was a pretty major accomplishment and he was extremely grateful to [member="Caedyn Arenais"] for providing the beverage. Once he'd finished the drink off, he set it on the counter and provided a contented sigh and a smile.

"Much better."

To be quite honest he didn't know what was going on there that day. He'd just happened to walk in and see sticky buns, which incited him to go on a rampage of eating. That was normal to him. He was growing pretty well, and food was necessary to facilitate that. Of course he probably should have been eating healthy food. Junk food like sticky buns wasn't going to help him any. Healthy food didn't taste as good, however.

He followed Caedyn to the main hall where he spotted Asha, whom he'd seen around before. No Fire Lady or her boyfriend though. That was fine with him. The older boy said something to him and he turned to look at him before shrugging his shoulders.

"Fire Lady, Jyn, teaches me. I was gone for a bit but I've been part of the Je'daii for a while. I tend to get places without people knowing. Fire Lady says I'm a troublemaker."

So true.

With the Younglings gathered around, all that Asha was waiting for was the return of Caedyn.

Soon enough her student re-entered the courtyard, accompanied by the little Togrutalian as well as the woman she thought she remembered as Jade. Though for all she knew that could have been wrong. It wasn't as if the two had ever really spoken before. Waving the two Padawans over to the main group she clapped her hands to quieten those already standing around and then smiled.

"The Force is an unseen energy which permeates almost everything within the known Galaxy, connecting us all. Some, such as we who are gathered today, are able to tap into this energy to perform innumerable feats, some might even claim that the possibilities are infinite. For the most part it is a readily accepted belief that these outcomes can be split into three groups: Alter, or utilizing the Force to affect the world around us, Control, or using it to affect ourselves, and Sense... Which, as the name suggests, allows us to enhance our perceptive abilities."

Her hands stretched outward, as though gesturing to the structure around them, allowing for a few moments of silence so that the students could digest her words before resuming.

"This is the Silent Enclave, and here we study all aspects of the Force. Those of you who came here today from the Academy on Ceto will no doubt have been introduced to these aspects in the most simplest of forms; typically Control is taught before any of the others, though I have seen first hand that many of you have already moved on to Sense and Alter."

Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a slither of crystal which she had carried with her ever since she had first awoken on the Graveyard several years ago. It had been her only snippet of hope in what had been dark and grueling times. As she stood there the crystal began to levitate from her palm, raising up into the air until it was level with her nose.

"The Force can allow us to do miraculous things..."

The crystal shifted in the air, hovering toward one of the Younglings who were present in the Courtyard. His eyes were wide, and she recognized him as one of the orphans she had ferried across to Ceto several weeks back. Unlike some of the others, he likely hadn't begun telekinetic training.

"Pair up," she finally said, drawing the crystal back into her hand so that it could return to her pocket, "We're going to play a game."
