The Twi'lek takes it, and closes her eyes when she follows the kobold into the trance. After a brief moment, she comes out of it.

"Oh, I see what you mean."

The kobold grins and nods, and moves through the rest of the group, distributing the ability.

The Jedi will practice for a while. It doesn't take too long for them all to master the basics of interpreting their bodies and start experimenting with stretching their awareness in different ways.

That's what today is for, yep. The kobold does encourage them to focus more on interpreting the patterns than on playing with field shapes; both are useful skills, but the former is more necessary for casting than the latter.

The Jedi will shift focus in response to the kobold's instructions.

She has some example things for them to look at, too. Just their surroundings are fairly interesting - distinguishing cushion from sand from stone isn't very hard but isn't quite trivial either, and each of those substances reacts slightly differently to being touched or tapped or having noise made near it. She'll distribute sticks to anyone who seems to be getting bored - they're freshly gathered this morning, so they're still slightly alive, and it's possible to sense their metabolism in addition to the sensations from touching, tapping, speaking to, or gently bending them - and make herself available if anyone mentions wanting to sense another person. As it approaches lunchtime, she gets the group's attention and switches the overhead portals from showing local daytime to night, then a sunset, then day on another planet; being able to sense environmental conditions is a particularly useful skill, with the teleportation, and this is an easy first thing to learn to look for - they can get into weather and gravity and such later.

The twig makes an interesting example. It's not alive enough to have a Force presence, but they can still see it living through the mage-sense. Each will spend some time with that. They pick up how on sensing other people quite readily, their experience with the Force gives them something of a guideline for that.

By the time lunchtime proper has arrived, the group is comfortable with recognizing time-of-day in the mage-sense.

And with figuring out how to find the patterns they want in the sense in general, hopefully.

The kobold asks how often and on what schedule they'd prefer to meet, and then when that's settled, she makes a temporary portal back to the courtyard for them.

Once a day at about the same time as this morning works for the Jedi. They each thank her for the lesson before they leave.

"That was fun! I think I'm getting better at telling what the different patterns mean."

Grin. "The next bit is the fun part, you get to start moving them around."

"Can't wait. There's still a couple hours before I have to get ready for the tournament. Lunch?"

"Yup! Back to the cafeteria, or Milliways?"

"Let's give Milliways another shot."

Hopefully that scary Sith lady won't show up this time.

Nod, hand, Milliways.

...is that karaoke?

It may be. Ana has no idea what karaoke is, and will therefore be mostly unhelpful in answering this question unless the kobold shares more information.

Lunch first. The kobold orders a 'something from home' for herself and an 'interdimensional sampler platter, go nuts' for Ana.

Ana is appreciative of the sampler! It's a good thing the portions are small, because she is determined to try everything.

Partway through the meal, the kobold attempts to steal one of something that there are two of from Ana's plate. This probably fails before it even begins, what with the kobold's amusement at the idea.

Ana mock-growls when the kobold reaches over, then sighs in a long-suffering manner and hands one over.

...or not. She gets as far as the growl and the kobold retreats immediately, reflexively, and then blinks, startled at the situation.

Oh no!

"I'm sorry!"

It takes a second for the kobold to get her wits together enough to talk. "It's okay - I shouldn't have - I've never heard a human growl before, I didn't know you could do that."

"We can, um, make quite a range of sounds. I'm really sorry!"

Pat pat?

After a moment: lean.

"It's okay, just a reflex. A kobold wouldn't growl there, and a tigerperson wouldn't growl in play, at least not at me."
