Way of the Sith

[Artorias]

The fact that she couldn't even meditate properly was already sad and pathetic, he just wanted to shake his head and tell her she was doing it all wrong but he kept his mouth shut and focused on his own meditation. Meditation was essential any warrior that wielded the power of the Force, it helped them find themselves, tune in with the Force and their surroundings. Use it to their advantage, but with Euxia it was like trying to teach a brick wall how to come to life. As he continued to concentrate, the small chest locker on the ground meant for clothes and belongings began to slowly float into the air, same with anything that wasn't attached to the body or to the ground like the bed. Soon, Koltron began to float in the air himself, only a few inches off the ground, nothing major. It was a strain, but his constant concentration was helping keep him up. If he was given hours to just this simple task, it would strengthen his use of the force.
Once he felt like he could spare a few extra moments of his time. He let out a calm breath of air before speaking in a steady, low voice for her. "Just let it flow through Euxia. You are trying to hard, let it come naturally." His words may not be helping, but it was the only thing he could tell her to do. There was nothing else he could say besides what he said already. He wasn't scolding or belittling her, but he didn't have the time to watch over her.

He allowed an hour to pass before sinking back to the floor and standing up. It was time to go eat, and he was famished. Gracefully standing up, he opened his golden-brown eyes and looked to the female Zabrak. He could tell that she was uncomfortable in the meditating position, but she would grow into it, hopefully. He has been doing this since he was a young boy, his body use to the feeling of sitting in such a manner. "Now, I am hungry. I don't know about you, but I plan on rectifying that and going to get something to eat." The Academy didn't have any place to eat, they would have to leave the Academy and head to a small 'base' like structure. This base like structure is a large trading base, it has apartments, bars, restaurants, and anything else that one might need for a quick trip through. It was only a few minutes away from the Academy, so many Sith and Soldiers that weren't on duty went to take advantage of the leisure and luxury the settlement had to offer.

He ignored the other students and waited for Euxia, he even offered his hand to help her up. It was a kind and simple gesture, one that he would have to get over soon. Sith didn't help one another out, they used each other to reach their own goals. Maybe she was different, and wouldn't see this as a weakness, but as a good thing to do instead.​

Truth be told, there were areas where Euxia lacked confidence. This meditating thing happened to be one of them. Positive reinforcement wasn't exactly something she was used to. Her trainers might as well have been considered Sith with the way they treated her. Lessons were ruthlessly beaten in, she was punished for showing slight weaknesses, they'd starve her if she didn't complete certain regimens on time.

So, Koltron's use of a low, steady voice was having quite the effect on her. It was... Encouraging. Soothing. The beast within her felt as if it were lowering its head in an effort to demonstrate harmlessness, rather than snapping its jaws. She might fear these feelings if she weren't meditating. There wasn't a smidgeon of anxiety to be felt. Euxia didn't think it was possible to escape her brutal reality until this moment.

Having sensed him stand after an hour passed, her ruby stare was once again visible. Her breathing remained calm and surprisingly, her tongue wasn't thirsting for blood. Rather than questioning it, Euxia went with it. She always entertained the idea that she could be stolid. Perhaps this was her key to getting there.

The offered hand initially made her lean back, a side of her mouth pulling apart to show a bit of teeth. Was she going to have to bite him for invading her personal space? What was he trying to do to her!? Only seconds after that did she realize this was a polite gesture. Her expression instantly went back to being relaxed. This was confusing. He wanted to have food with her, and help her off the floor? Not insult her skills and hit her? Then again, if he did that, she'd just hit him back. Nobody was allowed to bully her anymore. 'Huh...'

Hesitantly, she dropped her massive hand into his own, her fingers making a tight curl around it while she got to her feet. She sighed with relief, relishing the stretch of her legs. Promptly, his hand was released. She followed him close by, joining him in ignoring the surrounding students.
