(...Well.  She's not dead.  That's a good sign, she hopes.)

"I didn't know this one. But ask me about my master's other apprentices, later, if you want." And back to healing.

...She just might, at that.

Well...  Before they go back to healing...  "...You're sure?"

"I ate dinner with the man more often than not for eight years, I'm fine to talk about him. And I'll give them plenty of warning. And think about it again before I share anything sensitive, there's more than one way to tell the story."

She nods.  "That there is."

...Well, that was some fascinating byplay.  And some concerning implications!

...She's going to ask.

Tomorrow, presumably, because that's about all Pradnakt is going to say on the topic until they're done with the healing and she's back to her usual self. She returns her attention to the healing.

Mm.  Quite.  She returns to her work as well.

There's only a few patients left at the end of the day, but they're the most complex of the lot.  Still, at the rate they're working...  Tomorrow looks like it may be the last day.

Convenient that Pradnakt has already decided to share things tonight, then, rather than navigate the misdirection about the second shipful of victims.

"The first thing I'd like to share is a self-reinforcing calming effect. It's generally used as crowd control in large groups of Sith - not that our scientific conventions are bloodless, but it helps - but it seems like the sort of effect that Jedi might develop, too, and" - she nods at Bani - "useful, if you can collectively overpower someone. Though risky if you can't, obviously. Darth Kalbetis, should I continue?"

The misdirection was certainly not part of her plans, either.  It's good they're - on the same page.

"...I am not certain as to whether most Jedi would consider that - appropriate, or called for - in most situations, but it is neither implausible to have, nor particularly dangerous to learn, on their part.  They do have the mind trick, if not as forcefully as the usual Sith might - and a shield against Sith battle-aura that turns out to be a sword if used in particular ways is not beyond their capacity to develop by themselves.  Which is to say, go ahead."

...Darth Kalbetis correctly identifying the Jedi tendency to quite disprefer manipulating the wills of others, no matter their good intentions, as a potential impediment to the Order fully leveraging this technique, causes Master Ries to blink.

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."

"...I don't doubt that.  It's - what right I have to force them to pay - that matters."

"As you like." And she proceeds to show them the technique.

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.

Knight Bani, despite her unease, sets herself to the task of learning this with a will.

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.
