He nods. "I don't think I'm too young to use the speeder if I go slow. I know how to put a limiter on it if you want..."

Another grin. "So do I. If you get lost on the speeder there's a chance you'll be out of easy range, so make sure you have enough supplies for a day or so if you're going exploring."

"I got an electric compass from this one guy and wrote a dead reckoning program... But, yeah. Smart."

She nods. "I'll have Daisy bring you some ration bars and a water jug."

"I won't go far for now... I think my meditation place will be 'sitting next to a speeder somewhere new'."

"Sure. It'll be easiest if you're someplace quiet and fairly neutral, to start, and comfortable enough that you won't be distracted by being too hot or the ground being uneven or anything - you'll learn to deal with that sort of thing eventually, but it's not something you want to start with."

"Yeah, but I really like the idea of going somewhere just because I can. I bet it'd be relaxing to. I'll try here first though..."

Nod. "That kind of intuition is usually right, anyway."

Nod, nod. "So... How will the general education stuff work? Probably not like the school in town?"

"Not much like that, no. I've had Daisy get us homeschooling materials; mostly books, but some holoshows and hands-on projects, too. Daisy or I can work with you on those if you'd like, or you can go through them yourself; they come with tests, which I will want you to take and show me in any case."

"I can probably start on them myself, I think."

She nods. "Were you ahead or behind in any subjects, for your age?"

"I didn't really care about history... But I'm great at science stuff!"

"Good, science is important. Some history is, too, but it's not too hard to catch up on that later if you find that you need to; so long as you get enough of an overview to notice when you might need to learn more, I won't bother you about it."

"The history of Sith and Jedi is probably pretty important, relatively speaking, right?"

"Comparatively, yeah. If you're far enough away from the front lines you only need to know enough to recognize when someone's doing something stupid, but you might not want to be limited like that."

"I don't intend to go near war if I can help it."

"Yeah; me either, that's why I'm here. But it is a limitation, and it sounds like it might bother you more than it does me, eventually."

"Yeah, that's probably true."

"So, better to learn how to do it safely, even if you don't ever plan to. Just knowing that you could if you wanted to will make it rankle a little less."

"I hear Sith closer to the capital kill each other a lot?"

Nod. "Sith in general, really, but especially there; that's where the political power is, so it's where everyone who wants political power is, and even if you don't they won't believe that you're not just being sneaky about it."

"Then I'd better get good at not dying and staying out of the way."

"Mmhmm. There's plenty of places that aren't near the front lines or the capital, though, if that's all you care about, and there are ways to handle either of them relatively safely. Not staying very long will help a lot."

"That's all a long way off for now though... Anything else I should know or do before starting to study, and trying to meditate?"
