Asuka was right to keep hold of the stone, and her own concentration with holding it with the force was harder than holding it close. She took the stone in her hand, and resumed what she was doing first, using the force to both get close to her partners knee and to relieve the stress she was feeling in her arm, making it feel like she just started the excersize again.
After a minute, Asuka dropped her arm, tired, and listened to Jor as he put Ravenous on the spot. She leaned back and watched Jor tell everyone what to do.., again. As soon as he was done, Asuka resumed her training, once again becoming close enough to look like touching to the naked eye. [/sub]

As a look of disbelief started its way across Tycen's face he was tempted to ask jor what exactly this would really help with in a battle situation like the one on Nar shaddaa, He however decided to go with the notion that someone who's been in the game as long as Jor would know what he's talking about and left it.
Clenching the stone in hand he reached out toward Vanyr stone held tightly between two figures. Yes, Tycen agreed hold something as small as a pencil even would take its toll when held outstretched, There were no muscles behind it then, Yes a 5 gram stone would be however worse given the same time frame, Did it really progress his and the others readiness for whatever battle may be coming their way, Jor must think so or this seemingly useless exercise would not be taking place...
Ether way he kept his right arm stretched outward only an inch from his partner. Though his right hand was his off one if the point of the training was control he should learn no difference between the two.

Jor knelt down next to Tycen and looked at how close he was holding his stone. "Come on Two Face, get is closer. We're going for a millimeter or less. Let the Force guide your hand where it needs to go. With a practice, i've seen some Jedi get it within microns."
Jor stood up and started walking around again. "You learn this skill and learn it well and imagine what you can apply it too. Precision sensing with the Force. Could mean the difference between injuring a man to stop him, or killing him outright. the difference between disarming someone, and cutting their fingers off."

Vanyr now realized just what Jor had been trying to get them to do. It seemed strange at first, but he understood why they were doing it as Jor explained further. Vanyr took the rock in his hand and began to sense with the force, although this time not lifting the rock. Instead, he extended his arm out to Tycen's knee, getting the rock as close as he could. He tried to aid his arm with the force, steadying it. He quickly found out that this wasn't going to be as easy as it first had seemed, but he held his hand there, trying to get it as close as possible.

Sighing to himself at his misinterpretation of Master Jor's lesson Ravenous looked into his left palm that held the mixed colored stone. Tossing it up a few times while catching it he took one final grasp of it before lowering himself back into a seated position in front of Asuka. While he performed this he made sure his knee was placed so that his partner wouldn't have to move so much due to her following the lesson to date.
Taking a deep breathe he closed his eyes before sensing everything around him with his mind's eye. Slowly extending his left arm fully to Asuka's knee he drew closer and closer until it was about half a centimeter away. Feeling comfortable at this length for now he held his arm steady as the effects of the weight on his limb began to take it's toll. After a full two minutes he decided it was time to push his concentration and grow closer to the other with the stone in his grasp. With this slight adjustment the stress and demand for concentration grew even more so then before but with the help of his mental eye and previous physical training he persevered through it.

Tycen released a huff of air before truly centering his mind on the small object and by extension his entire arm. Continuing to watch over the distance Tycen was determined to reach a closer distance then the rest, If only because Jor was overlooking his progress and if he managed to reach the marker he now set of himself, A micron, Then It would be known that Tycen got the closest.
Focusing even more on his hand, keeping it steady and ensuring he didn't flinch, Tycen edged ever nearer to Vanyr's Knee. It had breached Millimeter moments ago and Tycen continued to guide his hand forward.

Having a better idea of what he was supposed to do Xuku took the crystal in his hand and closed his eyes. With the force he began to feel his surroundings, identifying objects by what he had remembered being there. As he stretched out his arm with the crystal in hand, he felt it drawing closer to Rindel's knee. As it came within inches he began to slow down, gently guiding it until it lay within less than a centimeter of his partner's knee. Deciding this was far enough, he simply held it there for as long as he could as he waited for his partner to try.

Rindel sat as still as she could, while Xuku attempted what Jor had told them to practice. She waited until he had done as he was told, and reached out slowly, the rock in her hand, as she reached out for the force. She sensed most everything around her, in finer detail than she would with her eyes, normally, as she slowly moved her hand, and the rock in it, closer and closer to Xuku's leg. It was to the point where she could have swarn she would touch his leg, but didn't feel the resistance, before she stopped moving the hand.

"Very good everyone. Much better. Remember, this is about precision so if it helps your concentration, don't bother with sensing the whole room, or even your partner's body. All you really need to do it feel out where your partner's knee is and where the edge of the stone is." Jor said.

Tycen emptied his mind of everything but the stone and the point which it was to all but touch. Pinpointing the location Tycen pushed within one millionth of a meter, the fabled Micron distance. He steady his hand, Arm, His whole body as he moved as close as possible while utilizing the force.

Asuka's was focusing on two points: the tip of her stone, and her partner's knee. By doing this, she was able to get within atoms of Ravenous's knee before she felt the strain on her arm. She held it for as long as she could before her arm dropped and she flopped on her back, breathing like she just finished a long and hard work out session. Sweat beaded Asuka's head, but she just wiped it off with her sleeve and stayed on the ground, catching her breath. [/sub]

Jor knelt down next to Asuka and let Genie slid off his arm so she could run back over to Bubbles. He looked down at Asuka catching her breath and smiled. "Tougher then it sounds isn't it?"
He stood up and held out a hand to help her up. "Ok, i think thats enough of that for everyone. Practice this on your own when you can, you can even put your own spin on it. Mix things up and try it with two hands. Its a skill thats easy to learn but difficult to master."
Jor rubbed his chin for a moment while he thought. "Ok, lets all try something else. Everyone stand up and get in a circle."

Though his arm was in misery Hovering wide stretched toward Vanyr Tycen felt like he could have done it for at least another fifteen minutes, But maybe that was wishful thinking. Ether way he rose stuffing the stone in his pocket as a remembrance from the training Experience. He took a spot in what would eventually be a circle of people.
"What training exercise will we be undergoing this time, M.J.?" He asked wiping a bit of sweat from his head as he laughed at the Title.

Vanyr rose, glad to be free of the strain on his arm and hand. While the task had sounded quite simple, it had proved to be quite a bit more difficult than he had thought. He shook his arm a little as he walked to the circle, wondering what their next task would be. He hadn't wondered long before Tycen asked Jor the question, and Vanyr patiently awaited the answer.

Asuka took Jor's hand when he offered it, and let him haul her to her feet. She caught her breath moments later, and smiled at the Jedi master.
Yea, but its also simple. It will just take some time to get use to that for a long amount of time.
Asuka smiled and fallowed Jor and stood, starting the formation of the circle Jor wanted by standing across from him. She wanted to know what was going going to happen next. [/sub]
