Emma OTA
She was walking, with much aide from a couple of canes that most people would use when they break their hips or both their legs, her arms were looped inside of them, holding her body up. She had to walk, because her next stop was back at the gym and working on her yoga and her martial arts. She took it slow through the halls, Ana watching from a little ways off, mostly to just give the girl some privacy.

Buffy wandered into the gym for a workout. She saw a girl in there.

"Hey," she said smiling.

Emma hadn't really noted the petite blonde as she walked, so absorbed in trying to make her feet work. She had tears in her eyes threatening to spill at any moment, but more with fustration and less with just pain.

She decided to leave the girl to it.

She slipped on some gloves and started to punch the punch bag.

She felt her presence and looked up.

She offered a small, awarm smile even if it was laced with a little pain.

"Oh gosh, sorry. I hope i am not in your way." She said with a slight wobble to her legs.

"No, you're not," she said smiling. "Are you OK?" she asked when she saw her wobbling.

"All right, I don't wish to impose." She offered softly.

"Am I OK? I, um, I guess so. Just trying to get my life back." She offered her a warm smile of gratitude.

"You're life back?" she asked curiously.

"OK, good. I am glad I am not." She returned the warm smile.

"Yeah, my life back to the way it was before the explosion and my coma." She said softly.

"It's all right, seriously. Everyone has to go through some sort of transition in order to surpass themselves. I am sorry that you know the feeling, but you are here now, and you look amazing. I am sure you feel amazing too?" She hoped.

"Yeah I do. It took a while to adjust after but things have finally started to feel right again. You need any help, trying to get back on your feet?" she asked.

She smiled serenely at the blonde girl. "That is good, it always feels good when you can find peace." She smiled at her question, ducked her head and nodded."Yeah, probably. I probably need a lot of help, help I am not willing to admit to needing." She said softly.

"Sure, I'd like that." She said calmly and softly, with a brilliant smile.

"I'm glad I met you, Buffy. You kind of remind me of my friend Sid, strong, beautiful, graceful."

Obi-Wan was going outside to explore when he spotted Emma, making slow but gradual process along one of the halls. There was another woman nearby, whom he guessed might be a friend or caregiver of some sort.

He wasn't wearing his usual brown robes, white tunic and trousers, but was instead in sweat pants and a T-shirt. He hadn't shaved in three days, so he was a bit scruffy. He thought he'd still be recognizable, though.

Not wanting to interrupt her, but genuinely interested in her progress, he paused and watched how her feet moved.

She was worrying on her bottom lip as she went, frustration spurred her onward. She was sliding one leg forward awkwardly and then the next, pausing because she began to wobble, nearly falling on her butt. She closed her eyes and willed herself to center. She thought of all the times she needed to focus and center herself with her Eastern practices like Yoga and her Martial Arts. With no pain there would be nothing spurring her forward, she did not like to be in pain, to alleviate pain she must workout the muscles, to workout the muscles she must continue onward, no feeling sorry for oneself and no looking back. Ana gave her a warm cheer, it made Emma smile that there was one person here cheering her on.

The wobbling stopped, she let her eyes slide open as she looked down at her feet and prepared herself to push onward.

"Come on. Emma. You can do this, there is no doubt about it, you can do it. So, do it." She set her jaw, grinding her teeth and continued on.

He heard her talking to herself, and decided to make his presence known.

Leaning against the wall, arms folded across his chest, he said softly, "Yes, you can do it, Emma. And you will."

She should have felt his presence, but she was so wrapped up in other things that she wobbled and squeaked.

"Ohhh, OOoh no!" Her frame trembled, she laughed softly and closed her eyes. "Whoa, whoa..." She took a focusing breathe and regained her center.

"Obi-wan, I should have sensed you, you are like a cat. I should get you a little bell." She said softly and clearly joking.

Emma wobbled and squeaked and he was ready to assist her with the Force, should she start to fall. She maintained her position, though.

At the bell comment, he raised one eyebrow. "Like a cat? Should I ask what a cat is or is that complicated?" He pushed away from the wall and started to move closer, his steps silent. "And why should I wear a bell?"

"A cat is a house pet, well also can be a big cat, ones that live out in the wilderness hunting deer and other wildlife. Graceful, sleek and very silent. A house cat is smaller, domesticated and loved by their owners. They also stalk mice, hunt and attack toes, rub against their owners legs begging for food and scratches. They are adorable little beings and I was clearly joking because cats can be very sneaky too. They surprise you by their sudden attacks from hiding places and things they climb up on, like a bookshelf. Their owners put bells on them so they can hear them coming and save their toes from being mincemeat.'" She said with a soft chuckle and a grin.

"What I meant was, I am good at knowing when people are around, I feel them, but you managed to sneak up on me like a house cat and scared the bejebus out of me." She offered as a more solemn assessment.

"I meant no harm."

He stopped a few feet away from her, both eyebrows raised now as she described, in great detail, what a 'cat' was.

"I see," he replied, trying not to laugh. "I didn't think you meant any harm, Emma, though I do hope there won't be a test later." Though if required, he'd be able to recall everything she'd told him. He had an excellent memory.

"And I apologize if I scared... 'the bejebus' out of you. That sounds... very painful and wasn't my intention at all."

She could tell he wanted to laugh, so she laughed softly instead. "No, no test later, no worries."

She smiled, listening to him.

"Bejeebus is just a slang term, instead of saying 'you scared the shit outta me'. I think it sounds so much better then that. It's not painful though." She said with a warm smile and chuckle.

And he smiled.

"I see. Well, I appreciate the insight. I... suspected it was something like that, though I'm delighted to learn that it isn't painful."

Emma smiled and even laughed a little. That was a very positive sign with regards to her recovery.

"You're doing well," he said, more a statement than a question.

"I have no choice, I don't like being useless and I don't like not being able to walk. Agitation and annoyance spurs me on, but my calm, chewy center keeps me from ripping my hair out." She countered.


"Thanks for noticing, and for the impromptu test of my muscles with your cat like reflexes."

[info]jedinegotiator
2008-10-24 06:20 am UTC (link)
He laughed.

"A test, yes. I suppose it could be seen as such. And I'm very pleased to see that your... hair is still attached to your skull."

Obi-Wan sighs softly and adds, "Though reference to a 'calm, chewy centre' is another one of those things like 'bejebus', isn't it?"

She really liked his laugh, it made her feel warm inside and that someone else believed in her.

"See, I knew I could figure you out." She said with a smile and a laugh. "yes, yes, so am I and it is just a saying, another form of slang, as it were." She added.

She smirked and winked. "Yes, yes it is...it just means that I can call upon my eastern practices and center myself, make myself calm."

Obi-Wan was delighted that she was smiling and laughing. It was such a change from the immobile young woman he'd first met, and a good sign that she was healing.

"I see," he said, his smile widening. "Will there be a test on a regular basis?"

He was quite interested when she mentioned centreing herself.

"That sounds like something I do, that all Jedi do. A meditation, assisting with our focus using the Force."

She smiled again. "There just might be." She then chuckled.

"I use Yoga and I meditate to center my inner self, to ground my being. I do it daily and I want to get back to that, you do that as well?" She asked full of excitement.

"Ah, we never truly leave our schooling behind, it seems. I should be taking notes."

He nodded as she mentioned the various disciplines she used.

"I meditate daily, yes, though not always as deeply as other times. Perhaps we could meditate together."

Obi-Wan smiled, glad to see her so enthusiastic.

"No, no we never do." She said warmly. "I could wander back to the Clinic and get you a pen?" She quipped.

Nodding, "Same with me...I attuned myself to the flow of each day. Yeah, sure I'd love that. I might need some guidance in the beginning anyway, so it would be wonderful to both have some help and to have someone to meditate with?"

She said with a soft, warm smile.

"No, not necessary to find a pen." He tapped his temple with one finger. "It's all up here. It sounds like we have a similar the technique to our meditation. We could try a session together. Learn from one another."

"Ah, I found a smart one, didn't I?" She said with a beaming grin. "Yeah, it does." She said softly. Moving a little because these things were digging into her arms, this made her go off balance and she began to fall forward into him. "Whoa, whoa..." She moved around, trying to find her center, it took some coaxing, but she found it, finally. Then she managed to reply. "Yes, it does sound like it." She offered an embarrassed smile then.

He gave a slight smirk at the 'smart' comment and was pleased to see her grinning. When she started to fall forward, he instinctively reached out with both hands and caught her by the elbows. For the most part, she steadied herself, but he kept his hands there, just the same.

Obi-Wan met her gaze. "Then... we should try some meditation together, when you're feeling up to it."

"You, sir, are on. Now, I plan to move my healing forward and kick it up a notch I miss meditation." She said softly. His hands felt warm and soft on her skin, she had been so long without touch that it felt nice. She smiled because of it.

"I'm on?" he asked, looking down. "On what, exactly? Other than the floor, naturally..."

He still had hold of her arms, concerned that she was too unsteady at the moment.

She cleared her throat and grinned broadly. "It is another saying, Obi-wan. it means I am taking your proposition into consideration." She laughed softly.

She smiled down at his hand hold and then to him. "I think I am sturdy enough, now." She said smiling softly.

"Oh, yes, I see," he said, nodding that he understood now. Then he realized that she meant him to let go of her arms. "Ah. Certainly. My apologies."

Obi-wan released his hold, but kept his arms raised, in case she needed assistance.

"It's all right, really." To be truthful, she didn't mind him holding her up at all. She'd never admit it though.

She looked down at the crutches, wobbling for a moment. She gained her footing and took a deep breath.

"So, Obi Wan? Care to enjoy a short and uneventful walk with me? I can't stand with these guys much longer, they dig." Into the flesh and bone under her arms and it was annoying and painful. Plus, she really liked his company.

He watched her closely and nodded at her stability. She was making good progress. At her invitation, he smiled softly.

"I would be delighted, Emma. Using the crutches is easier than just standing about? Where shall we wander? I'll follow your lead..."

"Well, going outside means I am at the perils of rocks, animal made holes and other uncertain terrain, so this hallway seems good enough to me. Plus, it gives me some obstacles to navigate." She said with a warm smile.

She tilted her head in thought. "You can tell me more about this place you come from?" She said hopefully.

"Inside sounds prudent, yes," he said, agreeing that the crutches would not fare well going through the woods.

Obi-Wan smiled. "I can certainly tell you more about it, though if I become a bore, you must tell me." He cleared his throat as he walked slowly beside her, clasped his hands behind his back, and began, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a group of people called the Jedi..."
