"I  learned  that  kata  actually  helps  with  the  ache  on  my  knee."  which  he  kind  of  messed  up  again  after  kicking  silver  in  the  face.  it  was  worth  it,  but  now  he  is  paying  the  consequences.  luckily,  it  seems  there  is  some  quiet  peace  in  the  valley  for  him  to  just  allow  himself  a  moment  and  rest.  "maybe  it  can  help  with  your  back  too.  you  need  to  rest.  heal  up.  as  cool  as  those  tornado  kicks  are,  you  need  to  focus  on  learning  how  to  walk  before  you  learn  how  to  fly  again."

    𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲  𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱  𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀  𝗯𝗲  𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴  𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆  𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱  𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵,   they  were  headstrong  and  the  first  to  strike  in  a  fight,  patience  was  something  they  struggled  with  and  with  that  lack  of  patience  came  a  struggle  to  connect  with  the  force.   it  was  why  these  meditation  lessons  were  so    𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁   and  they  had  to  remain  focused.   but  there  was  something  else  that  was  starting  to  stir  everyone  up,  it  was  time  for  them  to  be  joined  with  a  jedi  knight  to  become  their  padawan.   with  the  ongoing  war,  it  was  more  important  than  ever  to  be  showing  each  jedi  knight  and  master  that  you  were  someone  they  would    𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁   to  be  their  padawan.   mercy  was  trying  to  not  let  the  pressure  get  to  them,  to  show  their  skills  and  show  that  they  knew  they  still  so  much  more  to  learn,  but  that  they  weren't  scared  of  anything,  they  worked  hard  and  they  could  listen.   but  they  were  nervous  that  their  lack  of  patience  and  struggle  with  the  force  would  mean  that    𝗻𝗼  𝗼𝗻𝗲   would  want  to  pick  them.

    𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴  𝘁𝗼  𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆  𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱  𝗼𝗻  𝘁𝗵𝗲  𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀  𝗼𝗳  𝘁𝗵𝗲  𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿,   eyes  closed  and  hands  resting  on  their  knees,  keeping  their  breathing  calm.   it  was  all  they  could  do,  just  stay  focused  and  calm.   it  was  the  thing  they  struggled  with  the  most  and  it  felt  more  like  a  struggle  even  now.   mercy  just  had  to  put  as  much  focus  into  this  part  of  their    𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴   as  they  did  their  fighting  and  saber  skills.   yet  the  voice  that  broke  through  was  someone  they  never  expected  that  would  take  a  notice  in  them,  master  obi  wan  kenobi.   green  eyes  open  to  look  up  at  the  jedi  master,  whose  reputation  was  definitely  something  that  every  jedi  padawan  knew  about  and  someone  that  everyone  would  love  to  be  trained  by.   nodding  their  head,  a  small  smile  pulling  at  their  lips,   "   of  course,  master,    "   mercy  knew  this  was  something  happening  more  often,  jedi  knights  and  masters  without  padawans  coming  to  talk  with  them  and  see  if  they  would  be  interested  in  taking  them  on  as  a  padawan.   this  was  their  chance  to  prove  that  they  would  be  happy  and  honoured  to    𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻   from  master  kenobi,   "   i  heard  you  were  injured,  i  hope  you're  healing  quickly,    "

                  THERE   WAS   NO   WAY   MASTER   YODA   WOULD   ALLOW   OBI-WAN   OUT   into   the   battlefield   after   he   and   Bail   Organa   came   back   from   their   secret   mission.   Obi-Wan   was   unfit,   healing   after   the   deep   brush   of   the   dark   side.   He   was   having   constant   migraines,   ones   that   not   even   the   healers   knew   how   to   get   rid   of.   It   was   to   be   just   one   more   mark   of   war   on   him.   

               THOUGH   HE   WOULDN’T   BEING   GOING   OUT   INTO   BATTLE   YET,   MASTER   Yoda   suggested   something   he   would   have   never   thought   of   doing   again.   He   spoke   of   another   Padawan.   It   puzzled   him   with   how   intrigued   he   actually   was,   and   found   himself   in   the   Meditation   Gardens   where   they   were   said   to   be   having   a   class.   The   Jedi   teacher   knew   of   this   meeting   which   was   why   Obi-Wan   wasn’t   interrupted   when   he   walked   over   to   them   near   the   waterfall.   

               THE   JEDI   MASTER   STOOD   FOR   A   MOMENT,   WOUNDS   ACHING   WITH   his   strain   as   he   focused   on   the   bubbling   water   next   to   him,   “   May   I   join   you?   ”   he   spoke   at   last,   pale   blue   looking   down   at   the   younger. @karatetaught

you long-suffering, endlessly patient angels get two memes today bc i deleted everything in my inbox on my rp blog and i made these memes to top off a solidly productive day! also, if you ever feel guilty about “not being productive” or having to delete drafts and memes in your tumblr life, DON’T! you’re wonderful and valid and your personal comfort and peace of mind is far more important than an overwhelming inbox or draft count! anyway, these are also self-serving, but also i feel no shame bc there’s an extreme lack of this very good vibe in my line of work, so here u go besties.
