I Think We're Alone Now

Braze settled down on the Mud Duck's cargo bay, a space that had been thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, courtesy of Kaelos Vryn . The dimly lit bay was filled with the faint smell of fresh cleaning supplies and the distant hum of the ship's systems. The walls, once cluttered with tools and various gear, now felt more open, offering a quiet sense of space. In the center, a makeshift deck had been set up, its surface padded with mats designed for softer falls—ideal for practice and training in various martial arts.

Today, however, the space was repurposed for something more relaxing. Braze had invited Loomi to join him here. He plopped down a few large, soft bean bags and scattered some blankets around the floor, creating a cozy, informal setting. He powered on a small speaker, filling the room with the soft sounds of this music, the gentle melody offering a serene backdrop to the space.

Sitting back in a soft bean chair, Braze sighed softly, his eyes drifting toward the entry, waiting for Loomi's arrival.

"So..."

Loomi poked her head into the cargo bay, observing the gentle music and the various pieces of cozy furniture. She had been very distracted as of late. Lots that she was meditating on, so she had been in her room pretty much the entire time. There was a lot going on, and she couldn't help but wonder what Braze had up his sleeve.

"This is cozy..." she observed, glancing about at the new arrangement of the cargo bay. "What's the occasion?"

"I just wanted to talk... if that's okay," Braze said, his tone soft, as if he wasn't entirely sure how to broach the subject. He paused, then continued with a touch of hesitation in his voice, "You've mentioned having dreams about... mist weaving, right? I've been thinking about it since you brought it up. It sounds so... strange . I've never really seen anything like it before. Do you think you could show me how you do it? I'm really curious to understand it better. Maybe I can learn something from it, or at least see what it feels like... or maybe understand you better... if you're comfortable with that, of course."

Do you think you could show me how you do it? I'm really curious to understand it better. Maybe I can learn something from it, or at least see what it feels like... or maybe understand you better... if you're comfortable with that, of course.

"Oh."

Loomi sat down, folding her hands in her lap.

"Well, sure, I guess I could give it a shot," the Godoan decided. "Uh... I just need to remember what my teacher told me... Okay, so think of the Force as an ocean, and this ocean is always surrounding us. That energy that the universe is made of are threads. They sort of... move through people, the same way the Force does. Well, I guess that they are the same thing so of course they act the same... Uh, so certain people can feel the flow of this ocean, and they can reach out to the tides and pluck energy out of that flow. And when you do..."

Loomi pulled a radiant white thread.

"You pull a thread," she concluded. "It's sort of just... raw Force energy in it's purest form."

"If... any of that makes sense."

Braze tilted his head, his brow furrowing slightly as he processed Loomi's explanation. His hands hovered in the air, fingers twitching as if grasping at something just beyond his reach.

"Is it always threads, or do you make it into threads?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity. "What if I just... picture it kind of like clay? Would that work, or…?"

His hands shifted, mimicking a kneading motion as if molding something unseen. A touch of concentration crossed his face, but there was also a hint of amusement—like he knew how ridiculous he probably looked.

"Can you show me how you do it, please?" Braze added, glancing at Loomi with expectant eyes. He continued his funny hand gestures mid-air, trying to grasp something that just wasn't there.

"What if I just... picture it kind of like clay? Would that work, or…?"

"I-I don't really know if that's how it works," Loomi noted with an awkward expression. She didn't feel like she was that good at explaining this. "They're just... threads. I guess you could weave it into clay if you wanted to, but I'm not sure if it would be very good..."

But how did she even go about showing Braze how to do it? How did she do it? It was sort of second nature now, so she had to think back to the time where she didn't properly understand what it was that she was doing while weaving.

"Here... put your hand on the back of mine," the Godoan decided. "You can... feel what I experience through me. Maybe that will help."

Loomi moved Braze's hand over her own before repeating the action. At first it was like a Force pull, as though telekinetically grabbing hold of something. Then that sensation would latch onto motion, the feeling of the Force itself being pinched in one spot, as though one were plucking at atoms in the air. It was an impossible feeling sensation, yet one that could be experienced with some level of imagination capable of visualizing such a thing. Then a pull, revealing the fragment of the Force in thread form.
