Yuroic started to notice that Nova was suppressing her emotions, there was a conflict within her. "Don't worry about feeling, Jedi here are allowed to feel emotions, even anger and hate. Don't let these emotions consume you though, that will lead you to the Dark Side. Jedi can even form romantic relationships, have a family. One limits themselves if they hide part of who they are." Yuroic sat in front of Nova and watched her carefully.

"Breath. Just breath slowly, try to feel the world around you. Sense the life, the conflict, the death, sense the connection between it all. Everything is connected to the Force, one merely just needs to see that connection to help them better understand the Force." Yuroic stated as he thought on his first steps to using the Force. "Tell me what you see and feel, expand your mind."

Nova would blush brighter as she realized he knew that she had feelings for him. She would begin to breath staring deep into his eyes, she would begin to breathe deeply letting her mind expand, she would begin seeing the energy flowing through and around everything in her mind. She would begin to feel as if water were flowing through her. "I can see a sort of connection between everything and everyone, I feel something flowing through me"

Her blush increased, though he hadn't noticed her feelings towards him initially, just warning her against the dangers of suppressing one's emotions. Realisation hit him like a Star Destroyer. It was flattering that she found him attractive, hkwever, not something he wanted to pursue. Yuroic was far from being the perfect Master, yet alone somewhat dateable. Hearing her talk, he smiled as she started to now explore what was the Force and things around her.

"Close your eyes and sense the life of the small creatures, insects and such. Feel their connection to the Force react to your own. Even in plants there is the Force. All of nature is connected and we are part of that. Remember what I said, with the Force there is no Light and Dark, everything is balance. Even on worlds tainted by Sith, there will be Light, if you looked for it." Yuroic was firmly in the mindset that the Living Force was important as was the Unifying Force. Two key mindsets that Jedi of old believed in. "Now sense the rocks and feel the weight of them."

Nova would slowly close her eyes, doing so would allow her mind to become completely blank, but then she would once again begin seeing the connections between all things, this time she would focus mostly on the small animals as she had been instructed to by her master, she would find ample satisfaction upon doing so, she had always been an animal lover but that mattered not, what did matter was that she could feel all the energy that flowed through them flowing into her own body.

Once she felt she had done this for a decent amount of time, she would then switch her focus to the rocks, she would feel the weight of each of them without having to be in their presence to feel it

"Once you can feel the rocks, attempt to lift them, it might be tricky but use the Force to push them up in the air. Don't worry if you can't do it first try, I couldn't either, took me a few attempts to get them from wobbling to lifting in the air for a few moments. However, this is an important first step on the road to being a Jedi." Yuroic spoke in a gentle tone, he watched as she worked slowly on her connection to the Force, it was something he found difficult in his early years, his lack of knowledge about the Jedi and their ways meant that he didn't know what he was looking to do with the Force.

Yuroic was careful in his teachings for Nova too, he was not a Jedi himself but he knew what training a Jedi required. He had always pushed the boundaries being a Jedi but he could no longer see himself as one. Instead he served the Order best he could, they were his family and always important to him. Waiting on Nova to give the levitation a try, Yuroic watched the rocks carefully.

Nova would listen to her master, as she was instructed she would try to decide her best way of doing this. She would quickly decide that her best way was to try to just focus and picture the rocks moving, she would feel them begin to wobble and before too long she would have them gently lifted into the air, she would hold them there for a couple of minutes before her concentration lapsed and they dropped

"Good, you're doing well Nova. Soon you'd be able to lift things much heavier than rocks, there is no limit to what the Force can let you do but the limitations you set yourself. Now from here, we shall focus on using the Force to move an object, not only lift it in the air but allow it to move around. Once you are able to do this, yoj will be a step closer to being able to use Force Push/Pull. A Force power that all Jedi learn to Master first." Yuroic then proceeded to show her what he expected from her.

First the stone glided into the air and moved gracefully around in a figure of eight. "Note, I have been using the Force a lot longer than you, so don't fear if your attempt is not as graceful. This is about being able to do this and not how well you can do it." Yuroic reminded so as to lower her expectations in how well she must perform, Yuroic knew how much stress a Padawan can put on themselves.

Nova would smile as she managed to lift the stones, that had made her ready to attempt the next thing. She would watch and listen to her master as he moved the stones gracefully around in a figure 8. She would close her eyes once again, focusing on the stones, she would once again manage to lift the stones and then she would continue to focus, she would focus on moving the stones in a figure 8. She would manage to do it tho slowly and in very choppy motions

Yuroic nodded as she was able to move the rocks around, he was pleased for her as she seemed to do well with the tasks he had sent her. For now, Yuroic felt that their training session had gone well, but he figured that a break would be necessary for her. This was all new to Nova so he believed that she needed to let all the knowledge sink in and adjust to her new home. Yuroic rose to his feet with a warm smile as he offered her a hand to lift her to her feet as well.

"For today, that is all. I want you to have a look around, nothing is off limits, go explore the archives, meet other Padawans and find your own quarters and take a rest. We'll start some more combative Force Powers in the morning, we'll also get started on morning exercises, which include runs, assault courses and hand to hand combat. We'll alternate day to day from Force training and Lightsaber training." Yuroic described his training regime, it was hard work and he wasn't just pushing Nova during these, his mornings were spent doing the morning exercises and assault courses already.

Nova would slowly stand smiling after her training session, she would smile at her master and speak "Thank you master, same time tomorrow?"
