Felucia's Open Terrain

*The blow connected, sending Kent to the ground and seemingly knocking the air from her. Suddenly, the intensity that had occupied the space where Kent was had vanished, instead leaving behind pain and slight disorientation. Morgan's vision blurred for the briefest moment before she tuned it out, her smirk vanishing immediately.* "Okay, that's it," *she announced, recognizing that the mock spar had ended, though she'd be lying if she wasn't a little disappointed. She lowered her arms and approached the downed girl, crouching down beside her.* "We gotta get you back to the base."

*... this was technically her fault. Morgan failed to fight a grimace but she held in her apology; getting Kent back on her feet and into medical care was the greater concern, although she hated to leave her animal companions behind already.*

*Instead of agreeing with Morgan, Kent instead tore off some fabric from her clothing and asked her to ensure something was "straight" for her. Morgan frowned but didn't even get a chance to ask for a clarification; there was a crackle and Kent yelled out as she attempted to put her nose back in place. Morgan's eyes widened but she otherwise made no reaction, until Kent asked if there was a way to make it hurt less.* "There is," *she answered with a nod.* "You can heal it, or at least some. You can also focus to ignore it if you can't heal it. I haven't really practiced a lot of healing, but maybe I can help, unless you just wanna go back and get real help. If Mama was still here she could fix it, easy..." *The sudden recollection that Mama had just left made her start to frown and lower her head. No, she'd come out here to forget that. Forcing a smile back onto her face, she giggled and added,* "Or my brother Jake. He's learning how to heal, too!"

*Once again, Morgan was unable to respond to Kent's initial words as she instead went on about how she felt no pain while channeling the Force. Morgan was at least a little happy for her, but when she grinned, it was for teasing purposes.* "Stop talking so fast so I can actually reply!" *Giggling, she examined her face, then shrugged.* "I guess your nose is straight." *Morgan stood up, extending a hand for Kent to help herself up with.* "Well, Daddy says this a lot. Well, a lot of Jedi do, but I'm gonna say it now." *She lowered her head with a more serious expression, a more even tone as she declared,* "You've taken your first step into a larger world." *She then frowned and shook her head.* "I'll have to think of something else to say."

*Morgan let out a soft grunt as she helped pull Kent to her feet. She then examined the older girl even as she spoke, unconvinced her nose was properly tended to. Morgan almost wanted to ask what exactly forced her to fight smaller individuals in the past, but assumed the targets were simply smaller species.

She pointed back at the base with her finger, the direction instinctively accurate.* "We should go back now. You really need to make sure your nose is actually fine."

*As Kent looked around at the jungle, Morgan stared at her skeptically. Just because Kent had been through this before didn't mean she had to put off medical care, especially now it was readily and easily available! Yet, Kent seemed determined to see more of the jungle, not content to let her only journey out here be a negative one.

And at least she got Morgan's age right this time.

Morgan mulled it over a second longer before at last sighing and shrugging.* "Okay, if that's what you want. I don't mind being out here anyway!" *She turned toward the animal gallery, extending her arm towards Lokay. The tailring took the invitation and hopped off Rush's back, gliding over and clutching at her arm, climbing up to her shoulder and nuzzling her face with his beak. She giggled and looked back up at Kent.*

*Morgan immediately grinned and shook her head.* "No way! I know everything about the jungle!" *she exclaimed, making a wide, encompassing gesture with her right arm.* "... well, besides the places I haven't been to. But I know which ways to go if I don't know where I am, and Mommy will guide me if I can't figure them out!"

*There wasn't a single instant's hesitation preceding Morgan's nod.* "Of course I can! I know how to tell directions! It'd be a little more dangerous, but there's no way I'd lose Mommy's help!"

*While she had an easy answer for that, another one came to her and she giggled.* "The entire planet, duh!" *Technically untrue; she was not at all a fan of the wasteland that was the Rancor Graveyard, nor its stench of death, but it was too good to pass up. She did wince slightly just thinking of the place, but she recovered immediately.* "But actually, it's this lake I love! The Eye Lake! It's shaped like an eye, has a waterfall in it, it's just so pretty! It's far away though, it takes like a whole day to get there..."
