This exercise was never simple, and, somehow. It only became harder over the years. Maybe he had become to old? Maybe he left it on the back burner for too long? In any case, regardless of reason, he had to try.
Leonhardt sat at the foot of his bed, legs crossed, hands on his lap. His lightsaber laid directly in front of him.
"Okay..."
He breathed in, held it for a moment, then exhaled. Relaxing breaths. It helped in clearing his mind of all irrelevant thoughts. All that mattered was this meditation. Breathe in, breathe out.
The mind began to fade. Noise seemed to become distant. Leonhardt could feel himself sinking into a silent darkness. Then were was light. First, there was one small dot in the distance. Then another. And another. Soon millions upon millions of specs of lights filled the darkness. He had succeeded in tapping into the Force.
Slowly, the specs of lights painted a picture. They took on the shape of the world around. He could identify his room. From the small dresser to the bed. His sight had taken on almost three hundred sixty degrees of vision. He could feel The Force swirling around him, moving within and without him. In a galaxy in turmoil, this was one of the few things that made sense. However, as his vision expanded and stretched outward, the objects began to blur. Less lights appeared to help create object, making it very difficult to identify anything. The Force Sight reached the wall directly across from his bedroom door.
Frustration began to sink in. No! Breathe. Calming breaths. In, and out.
The light wavered, but held together. Focus. Leonhardt focused on the edge, where clarity met obscurity. He would begin there by drawing more of the Force towards him. Like a painter who ran out of color for their portrait, he would just need to obtain more paint.

After four hours of meditation, little progress was made. The line between clarity and obscurity remain mostly unchanged. There was a long, long way to go before this ability was capable of practical application. The frustration only grew from there.
Slowly, the sense of sound returned to Leonhardt. The lights fades into the darkness. Consciousness returned to the body.
With only final relaxing breath, Leonhardt opened his eyes. He was greeted by a world of beige, grey, and brown.
"Again tomorrow." He said, making a metal note.
He stood up, pushing off his right knee for support. The motions of standing up jump started his metabolism, making him realize his hunger. His stomach let out a soft growl, in protest of the of sustenance. It was teach to eat. With a slight smile, Leonhardt outstretched his hand. Through the Force, he lifted his lightsaber into his hand. He then fastened the hilt onto his belt and made his way out of the room.

*Octavious enters into the flat. It's a modest set up. Compared to the guesthouse on Naboo it looks drab. He sits on the bed and helps Mirania take a seat next to him.*

Mirania sat down next to Octavious and leaned against him, glad to be away from that black sword. He had done quite a good job in keeping that thing a secret from her the whole time they had been together, and to be honest, she was glad that he did. That thing was pure evil...
She sighed and took his hands in hers, casting her gaze around the room. It was nowhere near as luxurious as the place on Naboo, but of course she wasn't picky about such things. At least Octavious was here. She found herself thinking back, and she was still wondering why he had referred to her as a companion instead of something more appropriate, like girlfriend or lover even. Maybe now wasn't the best time to ask but her curiosity was starting to get the better of her."So...how 'come you called me your 'companion' back there?"She sighed."I'm not mad, by the way. I'm just wondering."

Master Will Son'tir's Private Quarters
Will Son'tir has not slept since he rescued the newly elected High Councilor Master Adi Matango from the wreckage that is was Carida. Preceded by another rescue mission to a world from the Outer RIm that ended with a mamed Mandalorian general and one of the Order's finest jedi knight's ending up in a unshakable coma, a steampunk non jedi even more emotionally broken than when she started her training. But most and least of all, the Padawan for one of the greatest jedi master's in recent history-- is now left masterless. With Yavin 4 razed and Dav Man'sell murdered protecting younlings, staff and any stragglers left. All of these horrendous attacks unfolded before Will's very eyes, the images of burning flames seared in the back of his piercing blue eyes. It was water from the front of his eyes that put the fires out.
Will's eyelids close shut tight as the tears flowed, he slumps over in the corner with his meditation mat the only thing protecting from the bare floor. A full from grace. The graceful demeanor of a jedi master, a fall from leadership, a fall for the Jedi Order with the systemic purge of it's members and the dismantling of the Galactic Republic.
Will openly weeps.

Maybe now wasn't the best time to ask but her curiosity was starting to get the better of her."So...how 'come you called me your 'companion' back there?" She sighed."I'm not mad, by the way. I'm just wondering." *He could sense her curiosity. It weighed on her heavy. Even if she said she wasn't mad he could sense a small feeling of being slighted. It wasn't that he wanted to hide from them. It just wasn't their business. No need to report that which doesn't need knowing.*
"I can feel your curiosity. I wasn't trying to hide our 'companionship' or rather our love, it just wasn't their business to know. Plus, I know that most masters love taking that moral high ground of 'Be mindful of your feelings for her, they can be used against you' blah blah blah blah." *The last parts were silly and condescending, aimed at making her laugh if she didn't know how Masters behaved.*
"Another thing, I think they can tell we have strong feelings for one another. I said companion to avoid a lecture on attachments and strong feelings. Even though they allow marriage, they still like to harp about being right all the time. It's why I pay lip service to them and then do what I want anyway. Keeps things running smoothly so I can get back to worshiping you."
*He pulls her in close and lays backwards on the bed. Hoping she understood where he was coming from.*

Mirania listened to his explanation, and she supposed she could understand his reasoning. She felt better having heard the reasons now. She giggled loudly as he did his best impression of some stodgy Jedi Master. As he lowered himself onto the bed, she followed, laying down next to him to cuddle."I understand. Thanks for clearing that up. Now then..."Giggling some more, she leaned over and kissed him quickly, then whispering in his ear."Care to worship your goddess with a tribute of endless cuddles?"She would have suggested something a little more than cuddles, but she wasn't honestly sure if they should be doing that in the Temple. Although given Octavious's reasoning beforehand, any regulations against such behavior likely wouldn't stop him...

Worthy of his devoted worship. When she kisses him quickly he knows what's on her mind. Especially when she whispers. *
"Indeed I will worship my goddess."
*He turns over her and starts to kiss her all over. Just like he did on Naboo, and the ship....They probably had a while before Master Venci or Rawkill would be looking for him anyway. Normally he wouldn't even think about doing something like this with her in the temple. But then again he did what he wanted to anyways. She could stop him if she wanted to, but he had the feeling she wanted to more than him just because of the forbidden location.*

Mirania giggled loudly as he started kissing her and she tried halfheartedly to squirm away from him. Honestly, she wasn't sure if they should be doing this in case it was some kind of sacrilege. That wasn't stopping Octavious, and it wasn't long before her resistance was crumbling and she let things just happen...
**************
She lay next to Octavious after they had finished what she was fairly certain was against several Temple restrictions, but he didn't seem fazed at all. She was just happy that they were still getting to spend some time together, what with all the trouble going on in the galaxy right now. It might not be long before Octavious would likely be called into action, so it was important to spend time with each other while they could.
Cuddling close to him, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek."Your goddess is satisfied...but I think she also needs a break for a day or two..."

Terra's Quarters
Terra woke early, grimacing as the previous night's events came back to her, along with a mild hangover from the alcohol. So this what that was like...she would definitely think twice before going out drinking again.
Sitting up with a groan, she noticed that something had been slid under the door, and upon closer inspection, it was a note from Nik, inviting her to spar. Well he certainly had energy, though if she recalled, Zeltrons were better at handling alcohol than Humans. 0730...it was 0700 now...hmm.
Hearing a faint chiming in her cloak pocket, she realized that someone was trying to contact her and slid off the bed and fished her comm out of her pocket. It was Ralph calling her! She sat back on her bed and thumbed the switch, running a hand through her hair to try and make herself look more presentable."H-hey Ralph..."

*Ralph was calling from his ship as it was being prepped to take off. Unlike Terra, Ralph had not found himself under the tutelage of a master, so life on Correlia had grown rather boring without her. He smiled a she answered and his image shimmered and flickered slightly as he gave a slight wave.*
Hey Terra. How's Coruscant treating you? Things have been fairly boring here without you.

Terra smiled as Ralph's image came into view."It's been...interesting. Master Jade and I were barely here for a few hours before we had to go on a mission."The rescue mission had thankfully gone off without a hitch, with the exception of the old man's appearance with a cryptic message about a Sith Alchemy lab. She had a bad feeling about that...
And then there was the date she had gone on with Nik...she had been starting to feel a little bad about that but she wasn't sure what she should tell him...

*Ralph' holographic eyes peered up at her from the small projector. He was usually very good at picking up on how Terra felt, but that was not the case right now. Distance made his empathy towards her difficult. He smiled again and began to move with his own projector. He flopped into a seat on a swivel and spun around, setting his projector on top of a counsel, and began to flip through controls.*
I trust it all went well? You know, you can call me whenever you want right? Also, I should be in system before long. Since I came to Correlia with my own ship, and I still don't have a master, the masters here thought it would be a good experience for me to come pick something up for them from the temple.

Terra smiled, a bit nervous about having to face him after she had kissed Nik, but it would still be nice to have him here. That is, if he didn't break up with her on the spot when she confessed...
She stretched and yawned."I'm sorry I didn't call right away...I was...busy...er....when do you think you'll be here?"

Snuggled up to one another. He could feel a slight apprehension towards the future in her. She knew it might not be long before he was called away. She had a feeling there was something about him that he kept hidden. Something he kept in the dark. Not evil, just something hidden. When the time was right he would tell her. But he would rather keep her blissfully ignorant. Blissfully in love. So she wouldn't have to worry about him.*
"I'm glad you are satisfied. Having Jedi stamina does have it's advantages. So I can wait a day or two."
*All cheekiness aside he shifted over to hold her tighter.*
"In the meantime, why don't we hit up the archives? I'm sure there are techniques to help you be able to heal through the Force without passing out like the last time. Learn how to heal like a Jedi and learn how to harness a better understanding of Force Affinity. How does that sound? I know about Force Affinity. I could teach you that while you learn Jedi healing techniques."

Mmm... *Ralph reached up and scratched his chin in thought as he looked at the charts. He leaned out of his cameras view for a minute while conculting his pilot droid for a moment before leaning back in with a slight shrug.*If the droid is to be believed, I should be there within a few days. A week tops. And don't worry about not called right away. I'm sure you've been busy. *He smiled.* How long can you talk?

Terra sighed softly at the news that it was going to be a few days before Ralph even got here. She really did miss him, even if it had only been a few days since she had seen him last.
She smiled a little."I can talk for a little while."Nik was expecting her for a spar around 0730 so she would have to leave a little before then. That was still plenty of time for a chat."I miss you..."

Your not getting into anything dangerous running around away from Corellia are you?
*Ralph couldn't help but chuckle at his own question. All the time he had known Terra, she was cautious and seemed to stick largely to the rules. But he also knew that she had a new master in Ael Jade, and when master goes running off, that usually meant that the padawan would as well. That was not the case on Honoghr for him. Zik had gone to great lengths to make sure the students went put in harms way before they were ready.*
And I miss you too, Terra...

Terra giggled a little when Ralph asked her if she was getting into anything dangerous."Nothing I can't handle. I think Jade's taking it easy on me so far."So far, Jade hadn't thrown Terra into the fire, figuratively speaking, but she was on Coruscant to finish her Trials, so maybe it was only a matter of time...

*Ralph gave her a smile and looked over at something. His ship was almost ready to take off, and sadly, he would have to cut the call short. He looked back to Terra with a slight frown on his face.*
Hey Terra, the ready checks went faster then I anticipated, so I am going to have to get going...I should be there before too long. And Terra?
