[lightthedarkness]

Ah! That's great! And not at all surprising. You're amazing company and super smart [And stupidly handsome.] So You probably have all sorts of invitations! [She grins.]

I'm glad to hear other people realize how awesome you are.

[jedies]

[ he chuckles. ]

I suppose I do have quite the reputation. It's been interesting navigating this place while being known to some but unknown to many.

[lightthedarkness]

Well known for good things, I hope. [And not just "the man Maul wants to kill" or "Anakin's babysitter Master." Obi-Wan deserved to be known on his own merit.]

How have you been settling in, anyway, Obi-Wan-san? Do you know what your blood type is?

[jedies]

I believe I am a . . . Coldblood? From what I can tell.

[lightthedarkness]

I think that means you can now produce fire and ice? I think? Or maybe that's a different blood type, but... I don't know. I'm a Paleblood and I can't do half the things I'm hearing other Palebloods do.

[As usual.]

[jedies]

I managed a little fire and uh . . . [ obi-wan coughs delicately. ] . . . lightning.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh! That's really cool! ... Uhm, maybe don't tell that to Maul, though. [Usagi does not understand the significance of lightning for Obi-Wan.]

[jedies]

I certainly don't plan to.

[ a little huff. ]

I'd rather trade the ability for something else.

[lightthedarkness]

Eh? Why?

[jedies]

[ ah. interesting that she doesn't know. ]

Lightning is a Dark Side ability. Only the strongest of Sith can conjure lightning and it is one of the hardest powers to counter. That's why Maul isn't too fond of it. They use it . . . regularly on each other.

Pain is an unfortunate tenet of the Dark Side.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh...

OH! Oh my gosh! Ah... yeah... I could see why you wouldn't... want that.

[Usagi had a very different view on lightning, but that's because the Goddess of Lightning was Makoto, and Makoto was one of the most loving, gentle, caring, and protective people in existence.]

What would you want, if you could choose?

[jedies]

Healing, I suppose. Though that's a difficult art, even for the Jedi.

[lightthedarkness]

What... would it take for you to learn that? Like, what would you have to do in the Force?

[jedies]

I'm . . . not sure to be honest. It is a notoriously difficult skill to have. And I never possessed the patience or the skill to follow the path of a Jedi Healer.

[lightthedarkness]

[She bit her lip.]

Does... it have to be a Jedi healer?

[jedies]

[ he blinks. ]

What do you mean?

[lightthedarkness]

Uuum...

So... uh, I can heal. And I'm actually pretty good at it? [A nervous laugh.] So... I don't know if it would even work but if you explained how healing works in the Force, maybe I could... sorta figure out if it compares to mine?

If you'd want! I know... I mean, I don't know how good of a teacher I would even be- if at all! Or if this would even work! I just...

[Her face is getting redder as she speaks and her voice softer until it trails off.]

[jedies]

I didn't know you could heal. That is an extraordinary power.

[ infinitely more impressive than hurting people or physical power in obi-wan's eyes. ]

We can certainly give it a chance.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi immediately went beet red. She scratched the back of her head.]

Ah, I... yeah. I um... healed a few people back in Deerington. At first, Deerington took it from me, but I got it back in the end. And it's back to normal here, though probably not to the same degree as... back home.

And yeah! I'd uh, like to do that for you, with you... or at least try.

[jedies]

I would welcome such an opportunity.

[ it's a no brainer. healing is a valuable skill, one obi-wan would prize more than fighting, even if he's excellent at it. he feels the same way about his piloting and marksmanship skills. he may be good but he doesn't care for them. ]

[lightthedarkness]

When would you like to start?

[jedies]

Whenever you can, if you're not too busy.

[lightthedarkness]

[She shook her head.] We could start after lunch, if you wanted?

[jedies]

Certainly.

[lightthedarkness]

[When they finished lunch Usagi had insisted they head outside the city and to the beach no less. She was pacing a bit, trying to figure out how best to explain what the hell it was she could do.]

Um, so I don't know if I've mentioned it, maybe I have. Uh, in any case. My powers, that is, my element- is literally light and... uh, healing. And I have access to them in this form, this body, but I... uh- also sort of can also physically and completely change into another being. That's not so much the important part as... I uh, need to turn into that to have full access to my abilities.
