On the city-planet of Elsul, a Sith sits outside a cafe sipping a fruity drink. She's guarded by a heavy battle droid (gathering more than a few startled stares from passerby, which the Sith and the droid both ignore) and accompanied by a servant droid covered in enameled flowers, who's scrolling through a list of local tourist attractions on a datapad and occasionally presenting options to her companions for discussion.
Indeed, Knight Bani looks a little bit disconcerted by what she is about to have metaphorically handed to her, clasping her actual physical hands shut. "It does seem like it could be useful, in certain circumstances," she demurs. "And given the Falling thing, it - might be medically necessitated, on occasion."
"...every Sith has already made a decision that they'd rather live, despite the cost. Don't - don't doubt that."
It's Knight Chion, of all people, who gets the hang of it best. Then again, she's never been afraid to be pushily opinionated at people in general.
The technique slips out of Master Ries' fingers like fumbling to grasp a piece of melting ice, more often than not. He is nowhere near as calm as he seems by default, and that makes it harder to project the calm he doesn't have, no matter that the technique doesn't actually require calm from the user.
Knight Khotar doesn't get the hang of projecting it, really, but he does seem to have convergently developed a self-centering technique that feels quite similar.
Knight Jayn knows his skills don't lie in this area - so he's rather surprised when it turns out he can project some things, even if they're not necessarily what the technique's creator intended it to project.
And Master Karmin...
Yeah, he figures it out well enough. Apparently this old dog can learn new tricks.
Rafiik, meanwhile, picks up the basic idea well enough, but gets distracted looking at how the effect self-reinforces rather than working through the rest of the technique.
(It's fine, she can go over it with him again later. Or the Jedi can, whichever.)
Huh, that's a bit unexpected.
Anyway, next - "Master Ries, the next thing will be rather personal for you, it's up to you who if anyone you'd like to have stay. I can use projective telepathy for it if you'd rather have them in the room but not involved."
"...If you can indicate why it would be so personal without revealing what is necessarily personal about it, that may help with the decision."
"Ah. ...If you're sharing something medical I expect Knight Bani would be gratified to be included."
"If you're comfortable with that." She gently retracts the meditation from the other Jedi and waits for Kalbetis to go as well.
And Pradnakt shares what she saw of his condition when they first met - stress reactions here and here and, unusually, here, interacting and cascading here and there and there to result in pain here. "I can't fix this directly; it's repeating, not ongoing. But - " the unusual reaction is in anticipation of pain, she's seen that a hundred times before and can show them the pattern. And she has this pain-blocking technique that she can show them, too; if he isn't anticipating pain anymore he won't trigger the cascade, on top of the obvious immediate benefit. "How long that takes to fix it depends on your experiences; it could be as fast as a few weeks if you don't mind having a miserable time of them. And you'll need to apply it beforehand. It will still work if you don't catch it every time it happens, though; for most people catching it three quarters of the time gives reasonable results." Maybe don't ask her how she knows that one, though.
"All right." She ends the meditation and heads out to rejoin the rest of the group.
Kalbetis is waiting for her.
"...Would you prefer my continued presence, as we did yesterday?"
