Wise words, actions, and reminders
"Class, there will be a guest teacher. Please respect her, but I'm sure you'll learn to by the end of this hour."
"Good morning class. My name is Senator Ross of Naboo and I shall be teaching this class today. We shall be learning proper ways around ladies, Senators, Masters and other people that I don't wish to go on about." Tara said, eyes a clear blue, voice cool and commanding, and scowling slightly at Obi-wan.
"Master Kenobi and I shall start out with the basics of conversing with a Senator or person of importance you may one day be protecting as Jedi."
"Good day, my lady."
"Good day to you. Kind sir, would you care to take me to the landing area because I seem to have lost my way."
"Gladly. Follow this way."
"That is just a very small example, but I'm sure that you will have more than just that to say. You must always end with 'may the force be with you' as I'm sure you know. Now I will switch places and Master Kenobi shall be the polite master, which I'm sure will be no problem what so ever for him, and I will be a rude person as an example."
"Good day to you, my lady. May I help with anything?"
"Good day, what do you mean 'good day'? If anything, I haven't had a good day."
"Well, may I assist with anything to help you?"
"No, I don't need your help. Don't you know who I am? Maybe I should find out who you are and put something very unpleasant in your bed. Good bye."
"May the Force be with you."
"Now that is a bad example. Thank you Master Kenobi." She said, smiling slightly before going on. "When talking to someone unknown, show no expression, make eye contact but keep all features empty of emotion. Always be very tactical and always choose your words and think about them before you speak. Thinking before acting, you will become a quick and agile thinker when in tough spots. That is what I am here to teach you. My job now is to make you Jedi who have that ability and more." She said, intense, low, and quiet making everyone listen carefully because, they, barely able to hold a mind shield for a few minutes let alone look through a mind, she had commanded them; she was a voice in their head that they knew and trusted, but also a voice completely alien to them and powerful.
This went on until about lunch time at which the students were released. They had learned to keep their mind blocked from all else when talking to others and how to keep it blocked without nearly dying in the effort. All had enjoyed the lesson except, of course, Obi-wan. Anakin had enjoyed it thoroughly, watching his Master struggle, and he himself not having to do anything at all.
Tara
Well that was very fun. Maybe I should do that more often. I will always remember that face that Kenobi made. He looked like an old, sour, dried up toad stuck in bantha dung and had a pink fluffy cap on. I nearly burst out laughing, but I kept my self control for the children's sakes. At least Anakin was grinning the whole time. I was a bit surprised to find that they could shield their minds for a moment and when they learned to hold it for a while, I was surprised to find that it was not harder for me to get in and see who they really are, but easier for me. It may be because they don't put as much will, effort, and power into it. No matter, they'll learn soon enough. I think we'll take lunch in my quarters.
Obi-wan
By the force that was awful. Now I know why I'm pitied, but maybe I already knew and this is just a reinforcement to let me know that she hasn't changed. I could tell that she was trying to keep her eyes a clear emotionless blue because they kept turning icy, trying not to turn crystal lest she scare them. I envy Anakin, not having to do anything, not being publicly humiliated, not having to go through all that I must. I believe she wanted to have us take lunch in her quarters.
Anakin
The meeting, boring, but the class was outrageously hilarious. Master had the craziest expression on his face at one point and Tara just kept at him. Well she taught more than any etiquette teacher I've ever known. To have them know some mind skills and how to be diplomatic, well, they'll be a good generation of new Jedi. Uh oh, I've really got to catch up with Master.
