Shop 'til you Drop (D5 LM)

[Baesal Zyn]

''Heh, well, I am a nerd''

She grins

''In the end nerds wins''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr laughed. "Sure, they win a lifetime of being asked for assistance."

[Baesal Zyn]

She nodded in agreement

"That too"

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Like a certain red Twi'lek?" Aphr asked with a teasing grin "I promise I'm not going to drain your knowledge. I like to learn a lot, but I don't like to be a burden on anyone."

[Baesal Zyn]

She tried to look innocent but could not quite

"Ah, well...if I can help a friend in need." She winked

"Learn well then, true knowledge will help you survive the Sith if you continue that path."

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Knowledge and a smile has helped me survive so far" Aphr nodded "I have a lot to learn, but I feel like I've come far in the very short time I've been in this new world. I'll be careful though, don't worry" she smiled softly at Baesal.

[Baesal Zyn]

Her air was serious ''You will need more then that...The Force...'' she thinned her lips

''Following my observations ans experiences, I came to believe that the Force does not grant strength but actually magnifies the ones we have by acting as a multiplicator of sorts. The use of the light or the dark will act as a second multiplicator affecting the emotions and the goals in which we use them. ''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"So instead of relying on the Force, rely on your own skills and allow the Force to work with them?" Aphr looked thoughtful "an interesting concept."

[Baesal Zyn]

''One I live with'' she says

''I have not cultivated my force powers much, relying on my skills intead. You might be surprised how far it got me''

she scratched her nose ''But that is not only for skills...it is also about who you are and your core strenghts and weaknesses.''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Because no two people view the force the same way" Aphr nodded "even on the same sides, everyone has a different opinion of how a force user should be. It's too vast for just one path, one vision to be right."

She sighed.

"I can understand why it's much simpler to teach this to someone when they are younger."

[Baesal Zyn]

She passed her tongue on her lips ''Maybe, maybe not. You have a better chance of learning who you are when you grow older...but you might also lose sight of yourself as well.''

True for everyone, me included

''It is not easy...I guess there is not perfect paths but nothing is quite perfect.'' she shruggs ''The light side magnifies many virtues while the dark magnifies your vices...if you know what they are you may be safe...for a while''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"I think we had a good example of losing oneself at the meal yesterday" Aphr nodded "Lyshea has clearly lost a part of herself through her dedication to the force."

She smiled after a few moments.

"I know what you're saying Baes. I need to know my own future though, regardless of what it appears I am doing now."

[Baesal Zyn]

''True...I wish I could help you more but I am not that knowledgeable...yet''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"When it comes to some things, knowledge doesn't help" Aphr said with a small sigh "thank you for your help Baesal. Let me know how I can repay you for the assistance."

[Baesal Zyn]

She shrugged with a smile

''Heh, its okay''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr returned the smile. "Well, then you can call on me if you need help with something, ok? You've helped me plenty...and well, you looked after and helped my sister as well. Even if I'm sure she thanks you in her own way, it still means a lot to me."

[Baesal Zyn]

''I understand'' she replies

''If I need of someone to play a pink little sister, I'll think of you immediately''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr laughed.

"Has that ever been needed before?"

[Baesal Zyn]

''Meh, its fifty fifty chances about you being the first one''

[Aphr Ahaya]

"Well, if it comes up, I'm quite highly recommended as little sisters go" Aphr said with a chuckle "you would be a lovely sister to have I think."

[Baesal Zyn]

Baesal stood silent for a brief moment as her eyes seemed to lose their focus.

She then smiled ''Oh, thank you Pinky''

[Aphr Ahaya]

There was a frown. "What's wrong?" she said quietly, concern in her voice.

[Baesal Zyn]

''Heh, nothing really'' she said reassuringly ''You have everything?''

[Aphr Ahaya]

Aphr shook her head, moving over to Baes. "Talk to me, maybe I can help?"

[Baesal Zyn]

She smiled warmly

''I am afraid not, t'was just a bad memory''
