Good, she signs firmly and emphatically.

Mmmlean. Droid was right when she said all I had was red. Everything important is still here. Rebuilding the rest will be slow, but I can do it.

Hearing's coming along. Another day or two.

It's good you'll have it before Karzel arrives.

Nod. Tell me about him?

--He's really bad at the "no attachments" part of being a Jedi, but he's really good at pretending not to be--even to himself, when we met he was so in denial. He cares about people, deeply. He can be--thoughtless, sometimes, but out of inattention rather than thickheadedness; once you point out that the thing is there to be thought about he does a good job. It probably hasn't occurred to him that droids might be people, for example, but when I tell him that they are he'll believe me and he'll think about it. He has a high happiness set point. He loves teaching.

Sounds like we'll get along okay. Might be worth doing telepathy with him even once I can talk, if he's around very much - makes it easier to explain things.

Permalink

I imagine it would, yeah.

Permalink

It's sort of medium-challenging, if you're thinking about learning it. Or I should be able to relay without much trouble. Probably easier than the healing, though, if you're only Sith-trained.

Permalink

I'll think about it.

What did you mean about can't, last night?

Permalink

It's - basically a different school? Can't do it the way Sith do things - not just they'd have to start from scratch; they'd have to forget some habits, too, about how to use the Force. Really basic stuff, I expect most of them literally couldn't do it.

Permalink

Huh. Like what? I am Sith-educated...

Permalink

Bet you can do it, though. It's about how you use your emotions with it, and about letting it do what it wants instead of directing it so much. Sort of the opposite of lightning.

Permalink

Nod. You need to be - calm, is okay, and determined and happy and stuff. Quiet emotions. You mostly just want pure Force, not much you in it. And the lightest touch, steering - the more you guide it the worse it works, being able to guide it enough to make it not just heal everything takes practice.

Permalink

That does sound more like what the Jedi do.

Permalink

Not surprising. I bet they have trouble guiding it at all, though, I didn't figure it out until I learned the Sith way.

Permalink

I'll ask Karzel about it.

Permalink

Okay.

Permalink

I think I've heard of Jedi healing--it seems odd that they might not have a way to steer.

Permalink

I mean, they probably need it less, too. Jedi do healing, and Sith don't; I had to keep it very secret that I could. Which means leaving scars alone, leaving anything someone would notice alone, that kind of thing.

Permalink

True. There are kinds of injury and sickness where just naive healing would make the situation worse, but I suppose a combination of naive healing and properly applied mundane medicine would be different.

Permalink

It's pretty smart, too. It won't heal shrapnel in or anything like that.

Permalink

Oh, that's good. How does it handle cancer?
