[She catches that curtness, and looks away. That was her greatest mistake, an error in judgement, and something she...really and truly regretted. Swallowing again, she's quiet for a long, long moment.]

You asked me before, about that. I told you it's something I can do. But it's not something I'd wish on anyone. And not something I'd want anyone to do to another. It's wrong. And I said before, and will say again, I made a mistake.

If you wanted me to teach you that technique, I am sorry, but I won't. I can...still train you in other abilities, but not that.

I never said I wanted to learn it.

[ He's defensive and sharp. He looks at her like she just insulted him. A push more and he'll cross that line from irritation to anger. He might have thought that, been eager to find another way out of it all, but he has never express that desire and he does not want that pinned to him. ]

But I appreciate whatever your knowledge can offer, Master Nomi.

[ He doesn't ]

[seaoflight]

[She nods then, bowing her head and offering a weak, tired smile.]

I understand.

[She'll still try.]

Have you ever erected a shield, Anakin?

[sandhate]

[ He looks slightly confused as his mind switch gears. ]

If you mean a Force barrier then yes, I have.

[seaoflight]

Have you mastered shaping it into a wall to protect others?

[There's a point to this, she promises.]

Or learned to use it to absorb energy?

[sandhate]

[ Still quite puzzled: ] Those are both skills we learn as younglings at the Temple. I'm capable of it, but I'm not the best at creating Force shields. And frankly, I can't say remember a time I used it in active combat.

[seaoflight]

[Nomi nods and gives him a soft, but extremely genuine smile.]

It's something that practice will help with. Shields are essential when fighting against Dark Jedi, in my experience. You can turn their power against them with a shield, absorb their strength to seal your own injuries, and there's so much that they're capable of doing with proper application.

If you do want to learn from me, I think that may be a good place for you and I to begin. It's the foundation of what Master Odan Urr taught me about combating Sith Lords.

[sandhate]

[ He nods but the uncertainty is clear in the Force, on his face. While he can do the things she listed well enough, his instincts and will has always pulled him towards a more directed, blunt approach.

But this is going to help.

Maybe. ]

If you think that's what's best, Master, I defer to your judgement.

I think we can call it here.

[seaoflight]

It's a foundation, yes. I do think it's a safe place to begin. You need a way to deal with a Sith Lord's capacity for energy attacks that we simply cannot use.

[And with that, she'll settle in to seriously work with him on combining barriers and Tutamenis. Simulating Force Lightning with her own strange control over Fire, one of the more direct attacks Nomi can use.]
