Having followed the Jedi Master to his new location, Ravenous with his arms still crossed waited and listened to his new words of wisdom. Discussing control of the identification through the force Ravenous looked throughout the group of fellow apprancitiecs and soon to be potential force wielder's as well. Waling over to the red hair woman that he had met beforehand on his earlier mission he spoke up "Would you care to be my partner?"
His arms still crossed he asked the only other that had prepared for the training about to begin by grabbing a nearby stone. Appearing with a emotionless face he waited for reply from the aggroive woman.

As predicted, it was a man who decided to ask Asuka to be partners with. He was one of the people who she met on Mon-Cal. She looked him over again, and watched wit careful eyes as he picked up his own stone, and stood there emotionless. Asuka grinned and tapped on the man's head a couple of times with her knuckle.
Sure, we can be partners, but dont be so emotionless. Have some fun rather than sulking around. C'mon. Lets go find a spot to practice. Im Asuka, by the way. Asuka Fair.
Asuka laughed as she talked, and walked to the edge of the room away from most people, and sat down. Jor must not be able to feel a thing if he could stand sitting down, as it was really cold to her. She motioned for the man to sit as well so they could begin their training. [/sub]

Jor's eyes remained closed but he was well aware. The Force flowed through him, telling him where each of his sheep were going to practice the exercise he'd given them. While his students practiced, Jor withdrew his lightsaber and opened up the side cover on it.
His brow furrowed as he deepened his concentration. Across the hall, the green holocron wobbled. Jor concentrated more, holding his breath. The holocron wobbled even more and rose shakily from the ground. It slowly floated over to him until it clattered to the cold floor in front of him. He let out a gasping breath after putting forth the extreme effort to float the cube over to him. I bead of sweat trickled down the side of his face.
He opened up the holocron and withdrew the emerald from it. The data storage device went completely inert at the removal of the precious stone. He placed the emerald into the slot that was made for it inside his newly reconstructed lightsaber and concentrated on the hilt. The force flowed from his body into the device. The housing for the emerald fused around the crystal snugly. The emerald was an extension of his spirit, the lightsaber an extension of his body. The two fused together perfectly through use of the force.
Jor smiled and replaced the cover back onto his lightsaber and returned his attention to his students.

Vanyr listened intently to what Jor told them. It seemed simple enough, although he had an idea it might be a little harder for him than the others. He had received only a small amount of force training before, most of his studies going to other pursuits such as lightsaber combat. He knelt down and picked up a stone, glancing around for a partner. He headed over to Tycen, who appeared to not have a partner yet either. "Hey, how about you and I be partners for this? I'm Vanyr," he said.

Hearing the instructions of Master Jor, Xuku searched the room for a rock. Considering the walls were literally made of crystals, there were plenty of those around and Xuku picked up one of the many, multicolored crystals to use for this exercise. There were several people in the room, but only a few had not been paired. Walking over to Rindel, someone he and Ravenous had met on Mon Calamari along wtih Asuka, Xuku politely asked: "Hello, would you like to be my partner?"

Tycen glanced over toward the approaching figure as he begann to address him. After he finished the offer and given his name tycen pulled his own stone to his hand, with some effort, using the force. "sure I don't see any harm coming from such a partnership." tycen moved to an open area and sat legs crossed placing the stone on his knee. "have you had any prior training with the force, Vanyr? he asked eyes closed.

Vanyr followed Tycen as he found a suitable place to sit, glad that they were going to get started. He sat several feet in front of Tycen, as Jor had implied they should. As he sat Tycen asked him whether he had any force training. "Not much. I have meditated before briefly, but nothing concerning physical abilities." He had an idea of how to do what Jor had instructed them to do, for while he had never had any experience using the force he had read much on the subject.

Rindel smiles as Xuku asked if she would join him in the training, and she said, That would be great. My names Rindel Tatoral She walked over, and picked up one of the stones from the ground, before walking back towards Xuku, and sitting down in front of him, as she looked up, waiting for him to follow suit.

Following his partner close in pursuit Ravenous remained silent as she finally had given her name. "It's a pleasure Miss Asuka Fair, I do hope we can work well together." Seating himself and grabbing a nearby rock into his hand Ravenous took a deep breathe before closing his eyes slowly. His mind turned to the task of controlling the object within his open palm into the air. Using the same means he had used when training with Zilfer Ravenous began to lift the stone above his hand to about eye level in his seated position.
As he allowed more energy to move his target slowly and cautiously closer to the red haired woman seated before him. While he was doing so he could see within his mind's eye her general shape with a tinted color of calming blue while the rock held moved with the force was surrounded by a whitish light as it moved every closer to the other's shoulder. His concentration like iron he placed the stone about 1 centimeter away from contact with the Asuka who sat across from him. Holding it there for a few minutes he started to flow it around her as if it were in orbit of a miniature planet of some sort.
Growing tired from his concentration Ravenous moved the object away from Asuka then back into his palm. Closing around in as he grasped it tightly he opened his eyes to see how she would fair with the training course laid out by Master Jor.

"Well lets begin then." Tycen announced as he completely fell in line with the force. He sensed the stone resting lightly in the palm of his right, Just like a living being it had a presence in the force as all things did. Tycen concentrated his mind on it, Slowly unitizing the energy around him to lift the stone. Tycen was unsure if hand motions would help with control of the object but chose to keep his hands down.
The stone gradually made its way pass the open space between the two as it hovered over Vanyr's center body. Tycen faltered for a moment as his mind warp to a potential ability that he could developed. The stone wavered has Tycen did but he quickly realized this and rectified the mistake.
He moved it over Vanyr's knee keeping about three inches away to be sure there would be no contact between the stone and the man. A moment later Tycen summoned it back to his right palm.

"And mine's Xuku," Xuku said as he took a seat on the ground across from his partner. Following the instructions Jor had given them Xuku closed his eyes, and concentrated on the small object in his hand. Slowly it began to float into the air as he used the force to guide it to its destination, which in this case was his partner. His eyes shut, Xuku was guided only by the force as the crystal glided through the air towards Rindel's knee.
Xuku could feel the presence of his partner in the force, and as the rock came close to touching Rindel it stopped moving just as it was about to collide. He held it there for a few seconds and then opened his eyes. Xuku was pleased to see that he had succeeded in using the force to identify his surroundings. He now waited on his partner to give it a try.

Vanyr closed his eyes as Tycen had done. He had fealt the force before, and he did so now, letting it flow around him and through him. He was a novice, and at first struggled to grasp the pebble in his hand. He placed it on the ground and then removed his hand, trying to concentrate on it and it alone. He used the force to take hold of the pebble, slowly drawing it up. It shook, wobbling in air as he struggled to lift it.
His concentration broke for a second and the pebble made a soft thunk as it hit the hard floor. He tried again, lifting the pebble into the air, this time focusing completely. He was able to hold it there, although he couldn't make it float completely still. After a few moments he attempted to move it over to Tycen's knee, as Jor had instructed. Slowly it drifted through the air, silently hovering down towards it. Vanyr was beginning to get the hang of simply holding the object in the air, and he was able to steady it a few inches in front of Tycen. Once he was satisfied he summoned the pebble back to his hand, the small rock slowly returning to his palm. He opened his eyes, patiently waiting for their next instructions.

The man sat across from Asuka, but he didn't introduce himself. That made her sad, but maybe he was some no name new force user. Though she didn't know any techniques, Asuka knew how to feel the force around her. She closed her eyes, focusing herself, and held the stone carefully in her hand.
Slowly, it inched closer and closer to Ravenous knee, using the force to feel the distance. In about 30 seconds, it was so close that one could hardly slip a piece of paper through the gap, and Asuka was slowly bringing the smooth stone closer, her slowly moving atoms with the force as it became closer and closer. All the phisical and mental training Asuka had gathered over the years were perfect for this test, as her body was't tiring as fast as one would think, but Asuka could feel the affects of the concentation, and her body standing up to the test, but she did not falter from the test.
In seconds, Asuka dropped her arm, and used the force to keep the stone at a steady height and distance, which was truly difficult for her as she wasn't use to using the force this way. [/sub]

Standing up as soon as his partner had finished he offered her a hand to stand with him. Out of habit he lightly read her current emotions through the use of his Rattakian bloodline iwth it's assistance he gauge that he had not been friendly enough to her. Seeing as he had gotten a counting four comments on his cold portrayal he decided that he'd try showing some emotion to someone if not just to change his nickname.
Introducing himself to the other for a second time he spoke aloud to her "I am Ravenous Ragnarok.... we have met before and even though I introduced myself to you a lass it seems you have forgotten of me soon. Welcome to the Jedi...may the force be with you Miss Asuka." Having said this he turned his attention to Master Jor to await the students further instructions and or teachings.

Jor stood up to look at the pairs practicing and was a little miffed. None of them had apparently gotten the message. He walked over to Ravenous's pair and snatched his stone out of the air. "Ok people, maybe something wasn't clear. I said put the stone as close to your partner's knee without touching. I didn't tell you to lift anything with the force, or perform any kind of telekenisis."
Jor put the stone into Ravenous's hand. "Yall have hands and arms. Use them. The Force is an extension of your body, not a replacement for it."
He leaned in closer to Ravenous and whispered. "Sorry to put you on the spot, but you were closest to me."
Standing up he started walking around the groups. "Also, try and hold your arm out there as long as you can. Keep the stone as still and as close to your partner's knee as possible for as long as you can hold it. You'll be surprised just how difficult it is to hold a 5 gram stone out, arm fully extended for more then a minute or two. holding your concentration will be even more difficult."
Genie ran over to her father and Jor picked her up, letting her sit on his arm. "This is a control and sensory exercise. the basics of the basics. Some of you think that because you can move rocks with your mind, you've already learned the basics. The Jedi aren't interested in cool feats of strength with telekinesis, or how fast you can make your body move. Anyone can throw a telekinetic punch, or make someone think they saw something that never happened. Given a choice between someone who can lift a dozen speeders in the air at once, or someone who can only lift shopping cart but do it with grace and control, i'll take the shopping cart guy every time."
Jor hated being preachy. His dad had taught him all this oh so many years ago and made Jor memorize it. He knew the material well, but that didn't mean he liked standing up in front of a bunch of kids and teaching it down on them like this.
