"Thank you."

"I believe I will have to rework my plans slightly."

Smirk.

"So what balance between keeping my true threat secret and projecting force would you recommend, my Lord?"

"I would recommend you take your cues from Brin, unless you are leaving no witnesses or I am there to act as cover."

Slow nod. "More - my style, anyways."

"We are in accord, then."

"I'll need to work on subtlety."

"Yes. I recommend you begin by seeing what the smallest effects you can achieve are, and attempt to create a process for those that minimize disruption to the local fabric of reality."

"I might need feedback on what's a detectable disruption, too."

"Brin, this will be a good opportunity for you to work on your awareness."

"Yes, my lord."

Grin. "A pretty important add on to your skill set."

"Very useful."

Kiss!

And: "What can you do, lovely?"

Brin can, if she holds out her hand and concentrates, lift one of the rocks Lily was playing with earlier. A little.

She comes up behind Brin and kisses her neck, then murmurs: "More."

That definitely interrupts her concentration! It takes her a moment to get the rock up again.

Rewarding kiss.

"The rock is an extension of you, lovely," she murmurs. "A mere object - a weapon, no different from your swords. Close your eyes, and move with it."

A weapon...

That framing helps.

She kisses Brin again, murmurs further encouragement - helps her dance.

She doesn't master the trick instantly, but there's noticeable improvement over the course of their session.

Good girl.

Well, if it gets results.

Lily is a very good tutor.

Now, if only she can turn that talent on herself.

She's been taking the opportunity to observe Brin - and it takes a few false starts, but she can get 'rocks move' in a way that doesn't feel suspicious in the Force, and 'rocks slightly nudge' without it being obvious in the Force she's doing that. (To Brin; Occlus can still feel what she's doing.)
