[lightthedarkness]

Having a heart is always a big responsibility. [She smiled but gave an idle shrug.]

I was given the chance to give it up, to let someone else take up the power it holds, the responsibilities it comes with.

But there are too many I love and want to protect.

[jedies]

[ that sounds about right. he shakes his head, rueful. ]

No regrets?

[lightthedarkness]

None.

[She gestured to his arm.] While I will always be hunted for my abilities, I am also able to help those in need.

I know it is not my abilities that allow me to meet people and befriend them, but I have them all the same, and they play a part in my life. I am my powers as much as they are me.

[jedies]

[ he nods with a smile. ]

That's always how I've seen my own.

[lightthedarkness]

Well, then let's add the ability to heal to your own. I'm sure you will be healing others in no time.

[She let her crystal return to it's proper place and gestured to Obi-Wan.]

So let's turn you into a healer.

[jedies]

Excellent. So where do I start?

[lightthedarkness]

[She pressed a hand to her lips in thought.]

I think we need to figure out how for you to use the Force and move it into a person in a similar way I would. You're not going to use your own life energy, I don't think. But rather... we need for you to grasp the Force and let it move into someone when you ask it to.

Or, well, I guess that would be how we could translate it. I... will be 100% honest, I don't even know if that's what the Force DOES.

[jedies]

[ grasp the force. obi-wan's not sure if anyone has ever taken hold of it. ]

Unfortunately, even us Force-users are constantly learning about the Force. And it moves in mysterious ways.

[lightthedarkness]

[She held out her arm.]

Here, my turn to get burned. Can't have you be the one to keep getting hurt. Don't worry, I can handle it. I want you to try and convince the Force to move into me and heal me... though you'll have to do it before my magic does it for me.

[jedies]

All right. Hold out your arm. I'll make it quick.

[lightthedarkness]

[She removed a glove since she had very little in the way of visible skin on her arms. She held out her hand.]

I trust you.

[jedies]

I know.

[ he's never had any doubts there. he makes it quick, leaving a faint burn before putting the saber away and concentrating on her wound. it's hard. he's always called the force in traditional ways, to push, to pull, to suggest . . .

despite all his leanings towards pacifism, obi-wan can't say he's a complete believer. and the force knows, digging its heels at him. ]

[lightthedarkness]

[She does not wince when the wound comes, having suffered much worse and having a ridiculously high pain tolerance, plus, Obi-Wan did as promised, making it quick.

She watched as nothing happened before she reached out with her other hand, resting it on top of Obi-Wan's wrist.]

Don't pull. [She offered.]

Ask. [That's what she always did with her own powers, asking them time and again to support her, to give her what she needed to protect those she loved. She could only hope it would work the same with the Force and Obi-Wan.]

[jedies]

[ ask. it's odd how that has never crossed his mind. the force has always been with him, one and the same. but they're not. he commands it, but perhaps commanding is not the way to go.

so he asks, a gentle nudge to the life force around them. and the force answers. ]

[lightthedarkness]

There. [She smiled, watching and feeling the wound seal up until nothing remained, not even a scab or scar. She turned her wrist, this way and that, holding it out for him to inspect.]

It's a very promising start!

[jedies]

[ for some reason, he felt exhausted just from this little thing. he wipes his forehead before shooting her a smile. ]

Thank you.

[lightthedarkness]

[She inclined her head before de-transforming back into Usagi.]

I'm happy I could help. We can keep trying until you're an absolutely amazing healer.

[jedies]

[ a low chuckle. ]

I think I'll settle for perfectly adequate first.

[lightthedarkness]

Then we'll have train some more. Which honestly I'm happy about cause it means more time with Obi-Wan!

[jedies]

If you wanted to spend time, all you had to do was ask.

[lightthedarkness]

[The side of her mouth moved up, trying to decide to smile or frown so she just settled on neutral. But she was going to share why she was excited.]

Yes, but this way when I call you for this, the first words out of your mouth won't be "did something happen?" It might actually sound happy to hear from me instead.

[jedies]

[ ah. his expression turns contrite. ]

I suppose I've gotten too used to receiving bad news of late. But that is on me. I should know better.

[lightthedarkness]

Then, maybe this is something to look forward to for yourself? Do you have that?

[jedies]

Of course I look forward to being a healer.

[lightthedarkness]

No, I mean- [She sighs.] Outside of being a healer, which I AM glad you look forward to, but more just... something that- [She doesn't know how to explain that Obi-Wan just seems perpetually SAD. So, you know what, she'll take the... excited about the healer thing. It's something. She smiles.]

Well, whenever ready for your next lesson, let me know.
