Von awoke from his sleeping state and when he opened his eyes he saw Jade standing over him, her hair and eyes were something else to see and he smiled to himself as he thought how he would become closer with her. He looked over and also saw Kulaan and frowned he was happy she was here but he knew this would get back to Johun and that really wasn't an option. Sighing he tried to breath in and realized he had a few bruised ribs do to the pain when he tried to breath. But he wouldn't let them know about that.
I loose in a fight and yet I still have two beautiful talk about me and take care of me. I guess I am one lucky guy. But anyway Kulaan please don't tell Johun about this.

*Jade watched as Von woke, happy that he did wake up. She was also relieved to find that he wake was steady and not frantic. That would be the last thing any one wanted or needed. As he made his comment, she couldn't help but cross her arms, dagger still in her hand. Her eyes focused on him, no smile present on her face for a moment before she shook her head with a laugh.*
"The only thing your lucky for is not getting smacked in the head and I imagine that would sting quite a bit right now. We would have just dumped you in the infirmary expect for two problems. One, you're too tall for us to take you with dragging you and two I don't think either of us know where it is yet."
*She let her hands fall to her side as her eyes softened a bit. He didn't want his master to know about this. It made her wonder if he should be allowed to fight at all should this problem happen again. If it was against a Knight or Master, it wouldn't be so bad. Another padawan, however, was a different story. They wouldn't know how to handle it. She was lucky that she got through it without much issue. Letting her head drop a bit, she looked at him with concerned eyes.*
"Are you going to be alright?"

Kulaan heard Von stir beside them before he spoke. His initial comment caused her to let out an exasperated sigh. His not so subtle attempt at flattery wasn't going to help much and she extended some effort trying not to roll her eyes. However his asking to not inform Johun about this resulted in some raised eyebrows. Looking over at him she remembered that his training hadn't started yet and, even though he was strong, he had a lot to learn about the force, and even more so about the ways of the Jedi. Jade asked the important question as to whether or not he was going to be alright. She scanned him over again in case, now that he was awake, something showed that wasn't as obvious. Inwardly debating whether or not to start lecturing Von now, wait until they were alone, or let Johun take care of it if she could contain it for that long. Making sure he was ok took priority over that though.

Von slowly stood up and took the dagger from Jade he looked it over for a minute and then placed it away behind his back. Looking around the room then at Jade he smiled a soft smile to her. Something he was sure would be misconstrue my Kulaan but he didn't care he liked this girl. Walking over to his robes he picked them off from the ground and tried not to show he had two fractured ribs. He made his way over to Jade and she was not that short compared to Kulaan so he could reach what he wanted. Leaning forward he kissed her cheek and slowly walked away from the room not trying to make eye contact with either of them. He needed a place to get something to drink, he was sure he wasn't going to find anything strong enough at the academy. Perhaps he could go an explore the main cities

*Jade watched as he stood to his feet and took the dagger from her. He didn't say a word, which at first worried her. When he smiled, she was surprised by his smile. She had not expected him to be capable of such softness. While he acted big and tough, perhaps there was far more inside than he let on or perhaps even knew about himself. Her thoughts continued to run through her mind as she kept her eyes on him as he went to his robe. He tried not to show it, but there was something that told her that he was hurt more than he was letting on. She could only give a sigh. She wouldn't say anything. He had too much pride for that, she was sure.
As he approached them again, she didn't expect what came next. When he kissed her cheek, she froze. No guy had ever tried to kiss her before in any way. Her first instinct would have been to push him away from her, but she was unable to make any movements. Then action had stunned her completely. As he walked away and out of the room, she only watched, letting her hand come to her cheek once he was out of sight. She couldn't help but blush just slightly, which quickly faded as she came back to reality. She picked up the other training saber before turning to Kulaan.*
"I guess that he's ok, at least enough to carry on with himself. It was a pleasure to meet you, Kulaan. I hope that we'll meet up again sometime soon."
*She gave a small, quick bow and a small wave before turning and running out of the room. Stopping by the locker, she returned the two training sabers they had used before continuing on back to her quarters.*

Kulaan kept her eyes on Von, scanning for anything that stood out. it seemed as if he might have tried to hide a little bit of pain when he bent over to pick up his robes. Perhaps some cracked ribs? She thought. Afterwards he walked back to Jade and what he did next shocked Kulaan nearly as much as it shocked Jade. her eyebrows almost seemed to try to leap off her forehead however this would be missed as Von and Jade had their attention elsewhere. Von immideatly afterwards walked out the door without looking at either of them. She continued to stare at the door until she heard movement .
Looking over she saw Jade picking up the other training saber. her comment that Von was at least able to carry on with himself provoked a half smile have grimace. but she nodded in agreement with the rest.
Yes It was a pleasure to meet you too Jade. I'm certain we will see each other around since we will be training here as well. She returned the short bow with one of her own and looked back to the door. Hardly realizing, until the door closed again, that Jade had nearly all but bolted from the room. Now that she was alone she sighed and shook her head.
Well I certainly wont be able to say that this wasn't an interesting first day here. She said out loud to her self while turning her head towards the demolished droid on the side of the room who's head emitted a last few sparks before losing all power. And it isn't even over yet.
Von kept making things more and more aggravating, this situation might have been prevented if she had followed him in the first place. And she figured it would be best to make sure nothing else like this happened for now. She gave it a few minutes before heading out of the training rooms Von presence was quite noticeable to her especially now that she was focused on tracking him.

*Jade entered the training area and made her way to the locker that held the training sabers. Looking at the weapons that lay inside, she rubbed her chin, thinking about what she wanted to do. Her father had told her things of the Jedi, such as fighting styles and forms. She expected that she'd have to take focus on a certain style before long. She only smiled at the thought as she grabbed two hilts from the locker and shut it.
Making her way to the center of the room, she let her arms spread out and slowly began moving them front and back, her wrists twirling in motion. Soon her entire upper torso was twisting as well. It was something else that her father taught her. The weapon is only thus on its own. But when it is held in one's hand, it becomes more, an extension of themselves. But to truly make it apart of you, you had to understand it, get a strong feel for it, let it become part of you. And that was what she was doing. The hilts left as such, she let her arms take in the weight of the hilts, understanding their weight and the way they moved. They were far lighter than any weapon she had used thus far in her life. That single thing could determine many things. Untrained with it, she could overcompensate and hurt herself in battle. Lightsabers were entirely different than standard swords. She understood that and would spend her time adjusting properly.*

*It had been nearly thirty minutes since Jade had begun to move the hilts in her hands. By this point, she had begun to twist and turn, spinning herself around, letting her hands twist, turn and jab as if she were truly using them. They were light, making them easy to move, taking no true energy as it did with a sword. Swords were heavy, their weight spread through their length. At all points would the weight pull down as the blade left the hilt until it reached its tip. It was because of this weight she preferred shorter swords or katanas. They were lighter and easier to manage compared to their larger brethren. And now she held a weapon that was far lighter. She could barely feel the weight.
Finally she came to a stop, letting her body rest. She took a breath and closed her eyes, letting the feeling continue to flow through her. Now came the harder part. She ignited the blades, blue beams emitting from the hilt in magnificent light. The weight did not change, as she remembered from her earlier use with Arvis and Von. Even more slowly than before, she began to spin the blades at her side, doing this for a minute or so before twisting them and her torso, letting the blades pass in front and behind her. As she thought, the weight could fool the untrained. The weight of a sword made it easier to know its location, the pull of gravity the indicator. but such was not true of lightsabers. All the weight was in the hilt. It also meant all the power was directed there as well. In a way, she felt it a disadvantage, but she knew she couldn't be sure until she truly fought with them. her mind was focused as she continued to spin the blades, letting her body understand them, become on with them.
One thing she found, beautiful about the blade was the light and sound. The hum of the blade when idle, the way it whipped as if wind passed through it when it spun, the way it illuminated the area around her in an array of color. And the hilt, she was sure, were designed to be beautiful, a symbol and portrait of the one who created it. In a sword, the whole blade could be crafted. Lightsabers, it was only the hilt, the blade's color the only option there. She wondered if she'd ever create her own, what it'd look like, the color of the blade. How would it reflect her as a person? So many question with so many answers. But for now, she returned her focus to the ones that lay now within hr hands.*

*As the time progressed on, the speed of her spins had increased greatly. She had yet to attempt acting forms and techniques, still solely focused on her spins and twirls. She spun around with sudden stops and direction changes as the blades moved around her, almost holding a solid form. Her eyes were focused, holding a darkened emerald as the blades crisscrossed all around her in a majestic dance. While using lightsabers was a new thing for her, she thanked her father for all the years of training, teaching her how to wield weapons properly and efficiently. She wouldn't have been able to do what she had without it.
Her father had bestowed much knowledge to her. While there was much more she would have learned if she had been training with the Jedi from the beginning, her father taught her enough to give her a firm grasp on her abilities and how to fight. She felt, under the proper guidance, her training would move quickly and effectively. She would dedicate her focus to her training, to understanding how to further herself even more.
With a spin, her right hand saber broke away from its spinning and came above her head and quickly fell to the ground. She stopped her movements, freezing in a pose, her right hand saber brought down, almost touching the ground, her left hand saber extended out behind her. Her breaths were heavy; she had been at this for almost two hours, adapting to the weapons she would learn to use as a Jedi. Turning her sabers off, she stood up straight, looking at the ground. her mind was taking in the past two hours, letting the feeling of using the lightsabers sink into her being. She was also wondering if she'd get a master soon and what they'd have to teach her. The more she thought, the more new thoughts surfaced. She closed her eyes and shook her head. It was distracting and she had to have patience. She couldn't expect her to get set with anyone within a day. Most masters would have already had an apprentice, and she was new here. They'd have to see her, get an idea of how see was with the Force and such and decide if they wanted to train here or not. She let off a sigh as she moved over to the wall and sat down against it. Looking out at the training room, she closed her eyes as she tried to focus herself, clearing the thoughts from hr mind.*

*Taking a deep breath, Jade opened her eyes. The time spent clearing her mind helped, but doing so brought about a new revelation. She was hungry. She had been here for over two hours now, working up a fair sweat. With no food to sustain her, she could feel it now that her body had relaxed.
Pushing herself up to her feet, she went over to the locker and replaced the sabers. She figured she'd come back again later in the day and work at the lightsabers some more. Taking a quick look at the room, she made her way to the dining hall.*

*Jade entered the training area that she had been in earlier. She made her way to the center before turning to face the locker. She took in a deep breath. "Alright, let's give this a try."
*Closing her eyes, she reached out her hand to the locker. She was capable in using the Force to levitate and move things with her mind. It wasn't so much to attempt trying as it was to get herself used to using it more frequently, to understand it and feel it more than she did. As she focused on the locker, it opened and two sabers floated out before the locker closed again. She opened her eyes as she watched the sabers come to her, both hands now reaching out as a saber found its way to each hand. Igniting the blades, she let them fall and rest easy at her sides.
She wanted to apply the Force using the technique she just had while in combat. The first thing was the most obvious of techniques; using the Force to control the saber when it left the user's hand. Holding up her right hand, she threw the lightsaber, using the Force to keep it straight and propelling it forward. It hit the wall, though Jade kept it from falling. These were training sabers, nothing more than a little sting to a person, clearly not strong enough to pierce a wall. She changed the flow of the Force and pulled the saber back to her hand.
Using the the skill she just had seemed easy enough. In real combat, or even constant moving, she imagined it would take much more focus and control. It'd be something she'd work towards. Right now was for simply understanding the ability. This time, she raised both hands, releasing both sabers in the same direction, following the same process. She did this for awhile, through the saber at the same time in the same direction, pulling them back only to turn around and throw them again another direction. As she did this, she worked on the speed of the movement, making it so that the throw would be hard to block and could return quickly.*

*Jade continued on in her training. She had returned to throwing each saber one at a time as she changed from through them straight to allow them to spin as they flew. It took a bit more focus to cause it to spin as well as to catch it without cutting oneself. She threw one, letting it spin and make a wide arc back towards her, coming to her side. She spun as she caught it, throwing the other saber and followed the same pattern for a few more throws.
Catching the saber a finally time, she resumed throwing both, removing the spin. As she let the sabers go, they spun as they had and arced towards the center, passing by each other before returning to her hands. She spun, letting her left hand saber go as she continued to spin she threw the right hand saber the opposite way. They spun and made their way around as she continued to spin. She was probably attempting this early, but she felt confident in her focus at this point. She focused, her hands crossed at her waist as she spun with a grace like that of a dancer, fluid and gentle. They sabers came at her now, the moment upon her as she reached out her hands to her sides, the spinning never coming to a stop. They meet their mark, the hilts finding her hands. She came to a stop with a downward strike of her right saber as her left pointed out to the side.
Taking a breath, she desired to attempt one more thing. She had slowly adapted to throwing the sabers, now she wanted to work on holding them with the Force, using them as if she was fighting with her hands, allowing a farther reach than normal. She made another spin, her hands coming off the sabers completely, though not to throw them. The sabers spun with her, forming a wheel, keeping in place at the palms of her hands. As she came to a stop, she quickly reversed the spin, letting the sabers extend further out. After two spins, she changed direction again, the sabers now extending a foot from her hand. It allowed for much greater reach than normal as she thought. While her range was extended, she knew it wouldn't have much strength, though such a technique wasn't meant for strength but to apply a quick amount of barrages to an opponent in hopes to overwhelm, distract, or disorientate for a much more fatal blow.
Stopping, she held her hands out so that her palms faced away from her. The blades came up and began to spin against them before she dropped her hands and moved them loosely back and forth in front of her. The blades followed closely behind, acting as if they were whips instead of sabers. Suddenly, she reached out in front of her with her right, the saber going up into a stab before her wrist twisted and the blade spun in a quick circle only to fall back behind her as her left brought the saber in an upwards slash. With another quick spin, she let the sabers come to her hands again where she turned them off. Taking a breath, she sat down and closed her eyes, focusing and reflecting on what she had learned and the exercises that had followed.*

Von walked into the training room with Jade and just smiled as he perched himself up against the door frame. Reaching over he grabbed a towel and threw it in her direction.
Lets go, You and me are going into the city. I am need of a serious drink and a little fun, so I figured you would want to join.

*Jade felt as Von entered the training area. She wasn't sure why, but detecting him was much easier than others around. Perhaps it was the darkness in him. When the light is ever flowing, seeing the few dark spots is much easier. She wouldn't deny that she was glad he was here, but she didn't stop meditating right away. When he spoke though, she couldn't help but sigh to herself. He did have high expectations as what she wanted to do. She felt the towel fall on her back from where he threw it. Slowly coming out of meditation, she grabbed the towel before turning to look at him. For the moment, she didn't smile, only tilted her head slightly.*
"That is quite the demand and assumption you have there. And what gives you the impression I'd go just because you are?"

Von smiled as he watched Jade turn around to speak to him, running his hands down against his robes that he had lifted before leaving Felucia. The dark black threads felt smooth against his fingers as he approached Jade. He looked around the training room then to what she was doing. Looking her up and down for a quick glance he spoke.
Well for starters I am sure your probably bored here doing nothing but self training until a master is assigned to you and two I just finished up with a little training with my master and in all honesty. I thought we could get to know each other a little better with out Kulaan trying to pry in on what I am doing. Besides, were on Corellia and this is my first time being on a planet where there is a city as grande as this one. So please join me, I am going with or without you but you would make it that much more fun.
Von reached out his hand waiting to see if she would take it.

*Jade looked at Von for a hard moment. She new she needed to stay, to keep training, focusing what she could until she found a master. Proving her skills and dedication would only prove to help. But deep down, she did want to go, if only to get to know him a little better. This thought defied the very thing she had told herself the night before, telling herself she needed to focus on her training for it was why she came here in the first place.
Nevertheless, she gave a sigh as she shook her head. She turned from him and moved towards the locker and replaced the training sabers she had been using. She then started walking towards the door, waiting for Von to come along and lead her where they were supposed to be heading.*
"Alright, that's a bit better in asking. And so you know, there is nothing wrong with self training provided you know how to approach it."

Master Will Son'tir enters the training room straight from the Council Chambers and promptly removes his master robes and unclips his hilt. The mellow purple blade ignites in a furious whip of the master's wrist and goes into a swift Form VI katas, falling into line with the flowing will of the Force. Being as frustrated with how the galaxy has been resolving its own issues, the natural order as some might call it, Will has not made the time to commune with the living Force. Will has been trying to force a solution that suited him more then allowing what has transpired to continue to destroy the galaxy-- but it felt like everything he was fighting for, and against, has been in vein. Will has been in a very dark path away from the graces of the High Council; in some ways, blatantly defying the council's desires. But what else could Will have done? What else could have been done at all?
Will mulls over these questions, his head already knows the answers-- but does his heart? Is it even soft enough to penetrate into anyway? He continues flying through saber maneuvers, beads of sweat flying from every pivot point of his body, his breathing even and his eyes completely closed.

Johun entered. He unclipped his lightsaber, Vormund, from his right hip. He sat cross-legged and waited. He closed his eyes and levitated Vormund at eye level in front n him. Even without physically touching Vormund, he could still feel the icy coldness that Vormund's icy-blue blade seemed to emit...

Von had just arrived back from Cornet city, walking through the halls Von suppressed his dark aura that had engulfed him earlier that day. Von clenched his fist into a ball as he tried to hold back the nausea, He had been here for a short amount of time and he was already feeling uneasy and sickly do to force. Walking into the training halls Von quickly found Johun sitting one of the side room. He was playing with his lightsaber in front of him, Smiling he saw that it was just the two of them and Kulaan had not arrived yet. Reaching out his left hand, Von turned his hand so that his palm would face upwards towards the ceiling. His fingers extended out and apart and yet reaching out for Johun. Focusing on Vormund, Von called the lightsaber to him. Von felt the cool metal against his hand. The hilt uncomfortably resting along his palm, this sword was defiantly not fit for him. It made some sense why no two swords could be the same. Frowning Von sent Vormund back towards his Master and smiled looking out to Johun.
So I have to admit I sort of skipped on the homework, I wasn't feeling to good after the training in the Meditation Gardens. So I ended up going the city. Though if it helps I skimmed some of the books when I came back, I think I know what style I would like to focus on.
