Sandra returns to the house in the mountains and sees the pair asleep in her bed like a family, passed out and exhausted. Sandra smiles a bit at this and goes to change to her home clothes, shorts and a t-shirt. Sandra goes to one of the couches and plops face first into it with an exhausted grooooooan. Sandra INSTANTLY falls asleep in such a position.
Sandra wakes up not too long later with some drool on the side of her face. She looks around with some panic and then calms as she rubs her eyes and lays on her back, right leg hanging over the arm of the couch and the other lining down to the floor
“I am…utterly exhausted…even after that nap. I feel like I understand why Masters only take on one student at a time. John and Sylia are rather charged fellows. John is easier to manage because he really takes me seriously and follows directions properly. I think I have no real difficulty with him. I am so glad I chose him as my student! Teaching him is teaching me a lot also. With a few more weeks, I think I can get him past a youngling stage of martial training and late youngling force handling.”
Sandra rolls to the floor slowly and lays on her back on the wooden floor. Her red hair is spiraled out randomly on the floor as she lays there, looking at the ceiling.
“Sylia is going to be an extreme amount of work. She has a strong affinity to the force, but she is extremely emotional and even harder to control. She has a tendency to try and test Lanari, but ends up the one being played. Sylia is not experienced in manipulation or figuring out what is or is not so. Even today, I feel like Knight Keyan seemed to interview Sylia, but I think she made herself look more difficult that she might really be. I wish she would listen to my advice more earnestly. I can offer her all the training I can, but without the control she will only hurt herself in the long run. I think her leaving Seela’s training was for the best though. Seela has no formal training aside what Althea and her new Master Hohenfel shows her. I bring my formal training from youth to them and have experience explaining things clearly.I will see. Sylia is learning from her mistakes and that is all I can ask in the least. I am just fearful that she will be tempted by something deeper than Dark Sided words.”
Sandra groans and covers her eyes with an arm
“Keyan really helped me out today. He had really pleasant advice that will help me keep on with their training. I did not think I would be a good enough teacher, but he said to give it time and let the force guide them. I should really do so. I have given them a fair bit of work to do and their doing things together will really benefit each other. Keyan helped me get more practice in on Force Jumping. I really want to show Artemis that I am taking her very seriously. His advice made me much more confident in my long distance jumping. I need to work more on vertical jumps. My legs are sore from the landing. I need to work on this more also because I do not wish to break a leg or cause a fracture. At least it was in mud and water and sand again.”
A long squeal is let out as she bends her legs up a bit and knocks her knees together gently as she thinks about the rest of the day
“I had a nice lunch with Sylia and John also. It was rather hilarious! They both have some sort of feelings for me and it is complicated. I do not know how to properly react. I am keeping them at a distance, but I think I like John. It is a bit of an annoyance to feel such, but I will manage. And then Lucas asked me to make some gear for him. He took me out as thanks for the design and walked me home. He kissed me suddenly. I was rather shocked, but again, I was unsure how to react. I will see what happens in the morning when we go running again. I am sure he likes me now also.”
Sandra sits up and lays on the couch again and lays on her side, staring at one of the mats on the wooden floor. A hand runs through her messy hair, and each strand falling is observed. Like a red waterfall of satin strings…how the fire of life burned in her and the hair. Sandra’s hand falls to the floor as her Emerald gaze stares into nothing
“After running, I think I will do more jumping practice and write up more training plans for the duo. They work well together, I should use that to my advantage. I am very curious to what Artemis will show me next. I really would like some lightsaber training next. I will have my hands full with my force training also as the pair are doing my busy work. I just need to be patient and let time happen. I have been so busy that I have not thought on Duskhaven much or my sadness rom Verrac’s death. It seems reality is so persistent that it crawls on, leaving those behind who deny it. The Force flows through all and keeps forward with the march of time.”
“So tired…”
Sandra closes her Emerald eyes and takes a soft breath before passing out on the couch.
