Groaning, Luke Skywalker rolled over in the warm sun of an early morning. Sitting up, he squeezed the bridge of his nose, blinking all around him. He was out by the lake, and he was still in Luceti. All he could remember was being woken from sleep by a loud banging at his window, and then blackness. Something felt off, that was sure, but he wasn't sure what. Shakily, he got to his feet and dazedly made his way over to the lake.

As he...looked into the lake, her jaw dropped, eyes widening. A female face stared back with the same shocked look, clad in New Feather garb. A familiar face, that of Grandmaster Sunrider, greeted him. To his further surprise the reflection began to speak, echoing through his mind. When it finished, things were a lot clearer. And so was her mind. Turning away from the water, Nomi Sunrider stared at the journal on the ground in front of her. Deep in the back of their mind, Luke Skywalker nodded in agreement. There wasn't much else to be done, if Luke was to be in control it would tax both of them. He knew she'd slipped him into a trance to spare him the pain of experimentation, and now she was willing to take his responsibilities until whatever the Malnosso had done could be undone.

Taking the journal, Nomi opened it up and Luke sent out a message in a distinctly...female voice. They agreed that not everyone needed to know what was going on...at least right away.

[Voice]
"Greetings residents of Luceti. This is Luke Skywalker, and...I'm having a bit of a situation. I was taken by the Malnosso, and I'm feeling a little weak. I am out by the lake, and if anyone could bring a spare suit of clothing, some water, and some pain killers I would be in your debt."

Later that afternoon, and all week, Luke/Nomi can be found around the village. Its pretty weird, even for a Jedi, so...expect lots of confusion and mostly to be speaking to Nomi. Feel free to poke at them throughout the week, just denote a day.

Berating myself endlessly was somewhat drilled into me by my mother and aunts when I was young. It is one thing to knowledge one's faults, another to dwell on them beyond what would be useful in using it to spur yourself to success in the future. It is the LeBlanc way. That and repressing our emotions in favor of putting on a pleasant smile for those that watched us.

[She snorts and sighs.]

Not terribly healthy, or safe, here. Luke and Ben have been most kind and patient with me, and for that I am grateful. They are better friends than I deserve.

Not terribly healthy or safe anywhere.

[Nomi nods]

Jedi are good companions to have. Particularly those two. The epitome of the Republic and the Rebellion's Jedi.

No, no it isn't.

[But she's getting better, by association if nothing else.]

They are good men, beyond simply being Jedi.

They are. Though, I feel you'd be hard pressed to find a Jedi who wasn't a good man, woman, or...other-gendered sentient.

Following the code is more than a means to the Force, it's a philosophy to make people...better people.

It's the first part of that code Luke has me pondering, isn't it?

[And Adele knows that she could use the improvement.]

Yes. Though, I feel you understand it suitably well. Well enough at least to move on to the second portion. Do you remember the second line of Odan-Urr's code?

[When she mentions his name, Nomi's voice takes an oddly wistful tone, familiarity...]

[The second portion. Something about...ignorance? It takes her a moment to recall the proper phrasing, but she finds it all the same. Locked behind layers she'd used to shutter off Levarre. When it comes, it's clear as anything, and as she speaks the cadence of her voice is different than her usual tone.]

There is no ignorance, only knowledge.

Good. Now, I want you to ponder the meaning of that for a few moments.

[Nomi crosses her legs, and smiles]

[Much like the first tenant, this gives her pause. No ignorance? There would always be ignorance and those that were ignorant. No one can know everything on any given subject, such a thing was impossible. Perhaps this is the wrong way to think on it.

She settles her hands in her lap, breaths in time with a shore she cannot hear. Perhaps it is herself that must be conducted in such a way to not be ignorant? Focus on the acquisition of knowledge rather than on that she does not know?]

[Nomi Sunrider quietly sits, sipping her tea and observing Adele's movements. The odd fidget, but steady breathing. There isn't much to say, so she remains quiet.]

...I am to keep myself open to the opportunity to learn, rather than allow myself to remain ignorant- to embrace every chance I have to further my knowledge and understanding of others.

Wise words. I would like you to continue thinking on the second tenant this week. What's the saying? Second verse, same as the first?

That would be it.

[Adele offers Nomi a soft smile and nods, dusting her knees off as she stands.]

Thank you, Nomi. Truly and...take care.
