There's a flash of something dangerous in her eyes - in the Force around her.

"They won't get us."

Permalink

"Indeed not. I will offer as much protection as I am able to."

Permalink

"Certainly, if your most recent performance at the Academy was any guide."

Permalink

...Yeah, she's going for smug.

"That's not the best I can do, either."

Permalink

"I'll take it as a favor if you refrain from experimenting aboard my ship."

Permalink

"So no Force training while in flight?"

Permalink

"Not until your understanding of moderation has been more thoroughly proven."

Permalink

...Hum.

"I am the thing I am. It seems prudent to obtain that proof as soon as possible."

Permalink

"Indeed it does. Fortunately, we are presently en route to a relatively uninhabited planet."

Permalink

"Good." (It'll be good to see what she can do.)

Permalink

Then in the time til their arrival, they can discuss what Lily had been learning in the Academy, as Occlus was not following her training like she was Brin's.

Permalink

It takes her some time to dredge her memory - to separate out what she learned in each life, what she knew as the thing she was -

Her explanations about the Force get the most jumbled. 

Permalink

Occlus patiently sifts through the confusion, identifying points of interest and divergence for later study in depth. (And files away data points that might contain evidence of just what this new apprentice of hers actually is.)

Permalink

The Force here works incorrectly. It should consider working correctly.

She's... Resistant, pretty much, to the idea of using the local Force except through indirect interface. 

Permalink

Occlus is interested to see her alternative in action.

Permalink

Once they're clear of the ship, yes. In the meantime, Occlus has some suggested reading for Lily while she does a similar interview with Brin.

Permalink

She gets pretty far into starting - focused on initial skimming and mentally sorting what's where. 

Permalink

Mostly theory and philosophy of the Force, with some histories of famous powerful persons.

Permalink

It's interesting - especially the philosophy, but she wants to read the histories and theory too - she wants to read everything.

(She's pretty engaged in her book by the time Occlus is done interviewing Brin.)

Permalink

Still distractible, then. Good.

Permalink

She looks up after a bit.

Permalink

"Enjoying yourself?"

Permalink

Tiny smile. "I like reading."
