As they should.

In the meantime... Maybe Anakin would like to do a little more work on meditation?

Yeah, she would. 

Then find a comfortable spot, and start focusing on her breathing...

She relaxes fairly quickly - though starts fidgeting after a little bit. 

"Do you find it hard to sit still, Anakin?" Elesse asks after a while.

"Yeah." She flexes her feet a little. "Just sometimes though?"

"Some people meditate better while exercising," Elesse says. "Do you want to try that?"

"Sure!" She bounces to her feet. 

Elesse stands as well, and begins demonstrating and coaching Anakin through some stretches.

She's incredibly flexible already, and takes to the stretches with enthusiasm. Elesse might have to watch her for injury some, though - Anakin's stretching well past the point where it's causing her pain, though she doesn't seem bothered by that.

Elesse will try to explain the difference between pain you should push past and pain you should listen to.

She seems to have a bit of trouble with the concept.

Does she... notice when she gets hurt?

Well, yeah, injuries make her feel stuff and all. But most of it's not bad? Except she guesses sometimes like if she's got a really bad cold and her head hurts, that's pretty bad, and getting sand places is the worst...

Ah.

Well, some of the signals she's getting mean that her body is being damaged. A certain level of damage is acceptable in exercise, rebuilding is how one becomes stronger. But if the damage is too severe, then you won't be able to recover effectively.

...She's really not sure where the threshold is. She's guessing it's before 'the limb becomes unusable' though?

Significantly before, actually.

If she doesn't mind Elesse taking a look into her thoughts, she can help Anakin stretch and demonstrate where the thresholds are.

"Jedi can do that? Read thoughts?"

"Surface ones, sometimes. Feelings are easier to pick up."

Nod. "I don't mind."

"All right." Elesse stretches out to reach Anakin's mind. If she's paying close attention, she might feel a slight sense of not-really-pressure.

Small wiggle! (Her feelings about Elesse reading her mind: she's very much noticing the not-really-pressure. It's odd, and like the taste of a new food - she doesn't know yet if she likes it or not.)

Elesse takes hold of her arm to gently demonstrate what actually acceptable ranges of stretching are.

This might be even more interfering with her ability to parse the pain as aversive - she's decided she likes the sensation of Elesse reading her mind, likes the comfort of Elesse seeing things in her head that Anakin can't - of someone seeing the mess of her feelings and not turning away, likes Elesse's soft touch redirecting her in response to Anakin's thoughts.

She pays very close attention to Elesse's corrections, and holds each position Elesse eases her into long enough to memorize it. "Will I get more flexible over time?" she asks, then.

"You're already quite bendy," Elesse says. "I think your tendons may tighten up as you grow, if anything, as long as you stop overstressing them."
