Crystal Heart (Open Training)

[Cathbodua]

The bodysuit and robes she had gotten made for herself, looking like a hero in some ways before she was moving around in the lab here. She had set up and left it open so that those who wanted to could come and learn from the jedi kngiht force healing techniques. Here in the sub basement hospital they would be able to go around and work on many things from healing the basic areas and problems to some fo the more complicated areas. She was leaving the doors opened so some could come in and learn while standing there.

 

[Kayda Vrieska]

​​​​​​​Intrigued by the opportunity to learn more about the force. The young Padawan by the name of Kayda found himself in the strange lab. With there being only one other person in the room, he simply assumed she must have been the instructor. Kayda smiled gently, showing that he was eager to learn.

“ Hi my names Kayda, I'm one of Arisa’s pupils.. I was hoping to learn about Force Healing? “

Trying to be humble, the boy still wasn't sure if he was in the right place or not. Spending most of his time with Arisa, he usually just followed her. So now being independent for once he felt rather lost. Nonetheless he assumed that she would answer his questions politely, as she seemed rather nice.

"You say that name as if it hold importance child." She stood there and in the bodysuit it was mostly hard to impossible to tell. The jedi knight was a healer and confined into her own preservation suit of materials for the healing process. As she focused the force into her hand and through the healing crystal letting it go over the minor wounds of the patient. Allowing the calmness and healing energies to wash over him before she spoke. "I am sure it is all ver exciting for you, but I am not your master. it is not my job to hold your hand and tell you that you are special. It is my job to teach you so that if it comes to it you are able to be useful in a situation. A jedi who at least knows the basics of healing can be invaluable." She finished up as the patient and the medical staff were milling about with the different patients. Before turning in the black and purple mask to finally size the padawan up and she paused for a moment letting the eyes of the face mask narrow. "As well this is a sterile environment, make sure you are clean and washed before entering my medical wing."

 

[Aster Rose Baelor]

Aster entered the room of the Force Healing class, her staff - still wrapped up in a plain cloth and tied up with rope - in hand, and greeted the instructor with a small nod of her head and a shy smile. Excitement filled her as she waited for the class to begin, eager to use the staff that had been crafted for her for the first time and impatient fingers fiddled with the rope that bound cloth to staff.

Though she missed the luxuries she had become accustomed in the House Palace on Csaplar, Voss was pleasant and she enjoyed the freedom it afforded her. It was nice to be able to roam the temple and academy without being suffocated by her security detail.

Keeping mostly to herself and paying little mind to the exchange between the instructor and another padawan, Aster smiled softly and caressed her wrapped up staff as she awaited the lesson's commencement. Finally, she would be able to take her first step onto the path of a Healer and perhaps one day be of more benefit than detriment to those around her.

Slightly off put by how the instructor responded to him. Kayda simply gave a disturbed expression, his eyebrows lowering, along with his eyes narrowing. For once he wanted to take matters into his own hands and learn something knew, that happened to intrigue the boy greatly. Yet it felt as if he were simply being made fun of. With the jedi’s remark towards his hygiene, the boy began to grow offended.

Coming from a somewhat high-class family, he was always one to keep himself clean and groomed. So this certainly got under his skin, although he wouldn't show it. Being not fully aware if that were a playful gesture or sincere.

“ As of now.. I know little of the Force, so if you'd allow me to just watch I would be grateful. “

Kayda knew himself that he probably wouldn't be able to do anything with the Force, as his Master had yet to properly teach him about it. Nonetheless the young boy still stood before the instructor, not even paying mind to the other young woman who walked in shortly before him.

Her eyes in the mask flicked over, seeing ow he could react was one thing as the jedi knight remained stationary over the bed with a second padawan joining them in the room. She barely chanced and acknowledged the girl before turning and handing the small crystal in her palm to one of the nurses. "As a padawan you are tasked to learn not just sit back and observe. Observation can help but it will only go so far in teaching you if you have no skills." She started walking and looking at Aster for a moment. "Your staff will not be required make sure you wash your hands same as him before entering any of the fields around the beds. If you infect or make any patients sick understand that I will petition for you to be expelled from the order." She said it plainly before walking down the line of beds where the nurses and biot staff were giving them all of the information. "Join me once you are done and wearing the Ankarres Healer Robes and Sakura Healer Gloves rejoin me. I am Cathodua."

 

[Aster Rose Baelor]

Disappointed, Aster gently set her staff still wrapped in cloth and rope to the side and obediently made her way to a sink to wash her hands. Though she was not too pleased with the hash manner in which the instructor, [member="Cathbodua"], had used to speak to her, she complied and took with her a set of Ankarres Healer Robes and Sakura Healer Gloves as well as her staff and returned to her room to change.

After approximately fifteen minutes or so, the blonde returned dressed in the clothing she had been instructed to change into and her staff safely stashed in her room. Then, remembering the instructor's harsh words from barely twenty minutes before, Aster made her way to the sink to wash her hands once more before she finally rejoined the woman.

That morning, Arisa had been busy, In a long briefing session with her fellow Spacy commanders. The rise of the Sith at Bastion had become a great cause for concern, prompting discussions about future deployments in the region. After the One Sith, the Kiribian Systems Union refused to allow another Sith power to threaten them within their sphere of influence.

As the briefing was underway, she had let her padawan Kayda loose for the day for self-study while she worked, though when she was finished with the briefing, she would leave her quarters to go search out Kayda just to see if he wanted to join her for lunch. Heavy talks of intervention and planning had left her quite famished, she felt like whipping up something yummy for herself in the kitchens that afternoon.

Checking through the messages of her phone, she saw Kayda had left her a text message saying that he would be taking a class on healing. He didn't specify who the instructor was, but she figured it was Cathbodua, who was one of the few active healers at the moment.

So, she moseyed on down the medical wing to go find her apprentice and check up on his progress. She wasn't sure how much he would be able to take in, as the healing arts were something of an advanced application of the Force that involved interacting with the incredibly complex biochemistry of the body, and he was still very much a raw initiate. Still, she imagined the class would serve as a nice opportunity to open his eyes to all the possible paths he could take as a Jedi.

She arrived to the training site, again finding herself bumping into Ms Baelor, though she found the Iron Princess without her normal finery, wearing drab Jedi robes instead. As per usual, Arisa was rolling around in her usual streetwear. Quite trendy by modern standards, but casual and comfortable.

Kayda was there too, and she could feel that he was irritated even if she couldn't see his face from the back. Ms Baelor, too, appeared to experiencing stress as well.

"Ms. Baelor, it seems just about every time I pass through Voss, I'm running into you. Trading Iron for Silver, now?" Arisa inquired with a grin, trying inject some levity into the room to help ease the tension she felt from Kayda and Ms Baelor.

"Cathbodua." Arisa greeted as she posted up near the entrance of the room, crossing her arms. She had no intention of participating in events, just present to observe the Silver Healer in action with her apprentice.

[Kayda Vrieska]

Shocked by the familiar voice of his Master, the young boy turned around. Only to see Arisa standing in the doorway of the room. Surprised to see her, Kayda’s face lit up. He thought she would be busy for the remainder of the day, so to see her now alongside him was a little off putting. He was excited to spend some time to himself for once, yet it seemed that was short lived. Internally groaning, he tried his hardest to seem delighted to see his Master. Although he knew she could read his emotions, and could tell when the boy was faking it.


Walking over with the required attired folded in his hands, Kayda made his way over to his Master. Overall he would guess she was going to just watch him, so that frustrated him slightly. Now feeling pressured to participate in the lesson. Not saying a word to his Master, he simply nodded as he passed her. Making his way down the hall to the nearest restroom, using it to change. Once inside the bathroom, the young Padawan let out a long groan.

“ I thought she was going to be busy today? I have no time to myself.. I know she's just trying to watch over me, but to what extent.. “

Jumbled thoughts ran through his mind and he got dressed. Once his proper robes were on, he folded the special gloves putting them away in the pocket of his coat. With his old clothing folded up in between his left arm, Kayda made his way back to the room.

Walking into the room he addressed his Master, smiling as he spoke.

“ I hope your meeting went well. You don't need to stick around, it's time for lunch anyway. “

Now properly dressed, he set his clothing on a desk near the entrance of the room --Assuming no one would take them-- with first aid supplies and other medical items. Walking over to the sink Kayda began to wash his hands thoroughly. Then slid on both of the gloves that resided in his pocket.

“ Okay.. I believe I'm ready. “

She was looking at both of them for now, there was a small perked eyebrow under the face mask of the outfit before speaking. "I see." They were both in the robes and she was walking now motioning with one hand for them to follow. "This is the sub basement medical wing. Where we treat the majority of patients from around Voss and the temple. We are not exclusively for jedi healers, there are doctors, medics and nurses on staff, they are here because they are learning or this is their job. You are here to learn, so listen to what they say and if the nurses ask you to do scut work you will say thank you may I have some more."

She kept walking and bringing up a holopad that was showing the different charts of patients while walking. "On a normal day we treat between four to five thousand people brought in from across the planet, any number of padawans, knights and jedi masters who have injured themselves. With the silver cross having disappeared and joining the crusaders, Sakura stepped up bringing its advanced technologies and teaching methods for it. On top of this understand we are a teaching hospital, this means you are here to learn and participate with the patients." She stayed there signing off on different parts and procedures.

"As this is a lesson you will join me on my daily rounds where you will help with the ones in triage that the nurses have marked as a low priority. This means their injuries are not life threatening and your chances of screwing up and killing a person because you are learning usually go down to near impossible. I however find the force would do something it finds funny and make it possible." She continued to walk and before they could really say anything about her she figured she had best get it out of the way. While she cared little about being liked she was one of the jedi who they might have to deal with.

"Now to make sure you understand, I am Cathbodua. Often called in jest the New Dark lady, in truth I care little but this means that I handle generally the troubled padawans who need a more firm hand then most of the other masters are willing to provide. When you are with me, you will maintain proper decorum as a jedi or I will have you stay in mine and Jericho's personal heavy gravity training room. I am one of the few healers in the Silver Jedi who did not flock to the silver sages and silver cross which is why I am still around and have been receiving medical training."

She continued and let the nurses walk around with her as she stopped over one of the patients in the chair and behind him was a larger room with no windows but there was the vent for the air and a holo display to show them. One of the nurses coming up with a trey as the telchek cubes were there and she held them up. "These are your telchek cubes, synthetic healing crystals of fire, the strongest healing crystal the jedi had in the palm of your hand. With these you will be able to put a patient in stasis should something go wrong and channel the force to your hands to aid in your healing efforts. Get comfortable with them."

 

[Eugen Aker]

"It went alright," she answered, taking an easy conversational tone. "About as well as briefings go."

She couldn't help but smirk a bit as she felt his frustration now directed at her. From his feelings and words, he seemed to view her attentiveness as hovering. Perhaps it was, but she would rather be accused of being doting than absent. Too many times had she seen her peers become corrupted as they were left their own devices by distracted and apathetic masters. It was unfathomable to her that they would have been allowed to openly commune with Sith, among things. At this critical juncture in his training, Arisa would at least make it a point to check in with her apprentice and ensure all his needs were attended.

"Don't be so fussy. I was actually looking for you to invite you for lunch. I planned on firing up some pizzas. Ms Baelor, and Cathbodua, you're also invited if you feel a hankering for some pizza."

Cathbodua would proceed to go over the objectives of the lesson, but she couldn't help but frown slightly from her brusque manner. She had never known either Kayda or Ms. Baelor to be unruly individuals, so she felt the threats were unnecessary, negative reinforcement usually discouraging. There was also a subtle shade about the teaching methods of other masters around the order. Arisa herself probably wouldn't have begun things by insulting her colleagues like that, and breed disrespect for them among impressionable pupils. She may have a word with the healer voicing her concerns about the importance of professionalism, but for now, she would just quietly follow along, not wishing to cause a disruption.

((Feel free to skip over me for the next few cycles, I'm just shadowing at this moment.))

"Not exactly," Aster smiled at [member="Arisa Yune"]. "As the Iron Legion is still in its infancy, they are quite lacking when it comes to Force education," she replied simply, careful not to irk [member="Cathbodua"].

"I look forward to it," she mouthed in reply to Arisa's invitation with a cautious glance at the instructor. The threat of being expelled from the Order for any mistake in the patients' treatment still rang strong.

Intimidated by the Cathbodua's presence, Aster lacked her usual gracefulness in her stride instead walked in a rather stiff and almost mechanical manner as she followed the woman and listened to her explanations. As far as explanations go, this was a rather straight-forward one much to the teenager's the relief - the very idea of having to ask Cathbodua for clarification or to elaborate on the instructions scared her.

Obediently, the teenager carefully removed a telchek cube from the tray and turned it around in the palm of her hand, examining the intriguing object and awaited the next set of instructions.

@Kayda Vrieska​

 

[Cathbodua]

She was watching them all from under the mask and as Aster the female was holding the cube the doctor spoke motioning for her with one of the patients that the nurse was scanning and making the chart for. "Now hold the cube in your hand and focus on it. Allow the force to flow from it into you and your other hand is what you are going to put over the patients injuries." She removed one fo the cubes and held it as she was showing her and focusing made it glow in her palm before her other hand had the force focused in it. The crystal webbing of her bodysuit looking like webs or veins that were channeling more of the force through it to show how to heal the patient.

 

[Kayda Vrieska]

Kayda found the woman's explanation very flat as to how the cubes worked. Initially he was unsure how they worked until the teacher began to show a demonstration, realizing how they functioned. The Padawan assumed he could be capable of performing the healing process.

So taking one of the cubes from the tray, the glanced over towards the other student. Debating if she were to attempt the technique first. Kayda raised one eyebrow, along with adjusting his eyes to focus on the injured patient in front of them, yet his face still directed towards Aster. He did this in a gesture to let her know that it was okay to proceed first, without using any words to let her know. Assuming she would understand, he simply stood there. Holding the cube carefully in his hands.

[member="Aster Rose Baelor"]

 

[Aster Rose Baelor]

Aster nodded at [member="Cathbodua"]'s instructions and watched quietly as she demonstrated the technique then, taking a deep breath in, she closed her eyes, focusing on the cube allowing the Force from it to trickle into her slowly in a current like stream - gently and slowly. Having achieved her goal, the blonde-haired teenager slowly opened her eyes, her free hand warm from the Force that flowed into it.

Carefully, Aster approached the patient almost scared that a lapse in her concentration would cause the warmth in her palm to fade away and softly placed her small, porcelain hand on the man's wound, barely touching it. A sense of accomplishment filled her as she watched the man's wound close at a slow pace, extracting from her the Force she had summoned from the stone until it was all gone and the wound was half healed.

Once her task had been completed, Aster returned walked towards the boy and gave him an encouraging nod as she waited for him to finish what she had started.

She was watching them and motioned for the boy to come around and closer. The girl seemed to have the idea of practice and try to do it. As much as she was looking at it and thinking about it... telling them how she visualized and used the force worked for her. THey needed to figure out how to focus the energy and call it to their hands on their own. "Good but we do not lay hands on them when force healing. You will end up with the danger of cross contamination of the patients. Now go and wash your hands once again." She said it while they were standing there and she looked at the nurses to make sure they were cleaning the area with the wounds. She did at least see some improvement while motioning towards one fot he nurses to take her and motioned for the boy to follow and step up/ "Your turn, focus the force energies into your hand and allow it to reach outwards to the body. To knit and mend the flesh where it has been hurt."

 

[Aster Rose Baelor]

"Understood," Aster replied simply and quietly made her way towards a nearby sink. Though the instructor's words were harsh and intimidating at times, she respected the woman.

She only wants what is best for her patients.

Once her hands were cleaned and dried, the blonde-haired teenager returned to the pair and glanced at the boy who seemed to have yet to attempt the technique.

Perhaps he is intimidated by [member="Cathbodua"] as well?

"Close your eyes and try to visualise the Force flowing within you as we have been instructed us. Go on, you can do it," she gave him an encouraging smile. "The worst that can happen is that you fail the technique but in that case, all you have to do is to focus and try again until you succeed."

[member="Kayda Vrieska"]​

 

[Kayda Vrieska]

Looking at the girl, Kayda nodded feeling slightly comforted by her more soft and gentle tone. Holding the cube in both hands, the young boy closed his eyes. Breathing softly, he would allow his thoughts to drift and his body relax. Soon enough he could feel a warm sensation run over his body. Assuming that this was the force now channeled through him, Kayda opened his eyes slowly. Seeing a faint radiating glow appear from his hands, the boy guessed that everything was going correctly.

Now it was time for the transfer. Sighing softly Kayda made his way over to the wounded patient. Looking down at the gash where the man was cut. The Padawan would gently place his hand upon it, not wanting to cause any discomfort.

Focusing on what the wound looked like, the young boy tried to imagine how it would appear fully healed. While doing this, the man's cut slowly began to heal. Kayda didn't notice, as the cut was smaller then his hand at this point with Aster’s aid. So after awhile the boy removed his hand hesitantly, only assuming that he had failed.

Yet looking down at the man's body where the wound use to be, Kayda found himself shocked. Stepping back, the young Padawan’s lips curled into a smile, clearly pleased that he was up to the task.

She was watching the two of them as they were standing there. Able to look at it when she had a small look on her face under the mask. The jedi knight was standing there watching them while some of the nurses went around making charts for them to be able to see. She was watchign them work on healing the patient before the boy finished up with a smile like he was proud he hadn't managed to screw up. Looking at the others as she spoke. "You helped one patient, that is no reason to smile. There is an entire waiting room for the two of you to work on." She remained normal and reinforce that they had at least not screwed up or harmed anyone... which should allow them to work on others so they could take that as she at least thought they did well enough.

 

[Aster Rose Baelor]

Once dismissed, Aster made her way towards the nearest patient. Although she had some practice providing first aid to those the field, this experience was new to her.

"Hello," the blonde-haired girl said, greeting the patient nervously and fought back her desire to comfort the man by gently stroking his hand. "I'm here to heal you," she cooed warmly with a gentle smile as she tried to comfort the man then and closed her eyes. Drawing upon the Force once more, her hand warmed again as the healing energies from the telchek cube flowed into her body.

Once ready, Aster carefully placed her free hand over the man's open wound and a soft light emanated from it as flesh knit together and the deep gash was replaced by a scar. "There," she muttered weakly admiring her handy work. Though it was not perfect, she was proud of her efforts.
