I haven't had a chance to try, but I expect it does fine. It's smart the way the Force is usually smart; not a lot of nuance sometimes but it mostly knows what's good and bad.

I am curious how the Jedi do it, though. Whether it's really the same.

Permalink

We'll find out.

Yeah.

 

She gets her hearing back two days later, and a few days after that she seems to have settled into an actual sleep cycle; she's up all night, going to bed shortly before sunrise and waking up at about noon, but at least it's consistent, and convenient enough to let them eat meals together, too.

Permalink

Ekkreth doesn't mind her odd sleep cycle.

It's not long after that that she reports that Karzel will probably show up in a few days.

Permalink

That's cool.

(She's gotten some basic information on radio jamming off the holonet and has been working steadily through it, compiling a list of books she wants and experiments she wants to see if anyone has done; she won't have any trouble keeping herself busy while she waits.)

Permalink

Ekkreth has already done some work on the jammer net and has made that available to her too.

Permalink

Also useful.

(Planetwide from one thing is going to be tricky, but if they...hmm, no...well, what if...hmmmmm. Well, if it was easy, somebody would have done it already. She keeps reading.)

Karzel arrives on the planet two days later. Ekkreth goes out to meet him.

Permalink

Deskyl and Daisy stay in their room; Deskyl listens carefully.

Permalink

From the other two Force-sensitives there is affection, surprise, concern, and then it smooths out into a light pleasantness.

Permalink

(Aww, they're cute.)

Coming, Love?

    Okay.

They venture toward the entrance.

Permalink

There is a man in Jedi robes with Ekkreth. He bows when he sees them. "Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you two."

Permalink

Ekkreth translates this into sign as he speaks.

Permalink

They bow back, and Daisy translates: "It's good to meet you, too. I'm Daisy, and this is Deskyl."

Permalink

"Karzel Saiffer."

Permalink

Daisy nods. "Deskyl is still having trouble with names, but I'll tell her later."

Permalink

"I understand. My condolences for what happened."

Permalink

    "Thank you."

Permalink

"Are you alright? Is there anything I could to to help?"

Permalink

That gets a wry grin and a burst of sign, and then she stands aside to invite him in.

    "It's complicated," the droid explains, "there are things she can't do, and some of them are frustrating, but she's not suffering. She doesn't think it's very likely that you can help; it's mostly - getting her metaphorical strength back, and rebuilding, that she needs to do at this point."

Permalink

"I understand. I thought it best to offer just in case," he says after they're all inside.

Permalink

"And we appreciate it." (Deskyl nods her agreement; apparently she doesn't mind Daisy speaking for her.)

Permalink

"Do you expect trouble from your old master?"
