	So... that's a start, I suppose. A... a more passive use of the Force? I'd guess that if you can do that deliberately, then you should be able to turn it into an active manipulation of your surroundings with some practice. That's what I'd put my money on, at least.

	And you want me to, what, give the Defense Force a ring every time I sense a disturbance in the Force? [ because what she really wants to do right now is have a conversation of any kind with kitty. ] Or you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What? No... no no. [ Ugh okay. Let's... start that bit over. ]

I'm running an experiment... basically going into virtual reality to try and find a way to break it, mentally. If I can break the simulation under controlled circumstances, maybe I can break it out here too. I'm just not sure what it'll actually... do. A friend of mine is a doctor - he's promised to take care of the physical part of it, make sure I don't do any damage but since we're not even in our physical bodies right now I'm pretty desperate for other ways to make sure I don't wreck myself in the simulation.

That's what I wanted your help with. To monitor me during the experiment so I don't... I don't know. Die.

	[ her eyebrows lift and she sits up straighter. ] You want me to get into your head while you do this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe? I haven't worked out the details yet, but something like that... you could tell it was me in Jack's body. Maybe you can tell if I'm about to have an aneurysm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm Force-sensitive, not a medical scanner. I don't know if I'd be able to detect a cerebral vascular event. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fine - it was just a thought. I didn't exactly think you'd want to help me anymore, either way. [ Fed up. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I said I didn't know if I could, not that I was unwilling to try! Yes, I'm still mad, and I think I'm well within my right to be angry. But I also want to go home to my brother and– and Han. To the Alliance and the refugees from my world that look to me for leaderships and guidance. I can put my personal feelings aside and work on this with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. [ He leans forward in his seat, something hard seeping into his posture. Up until now he's been mostly sweet, mostly passive around her. Careful. There's little of that left now, replaced by the cold, analytical professionality that he so often relies on when he's way out of his emotional depth. ] Then we'll work together, as professionals.

[ she eyes him suspiciously, as if she's a little hurt that he seems to think she can't work professionally with someone she's not particularly happy with. hurt, but not surprised, as the ~~pessimist~~ realist within is rearing its ugly head and reminding her that even sugar looks like salt. ]

I'm fully capable of working with you as a professional. Never doubt that. I'm well versed in putting business first.

[ though it makes her long for the company of seasoned generals twice her age: of rieekan's cool head, madine's rationalism, and dodonna's constant understanding. she even misses mon mothma's firm, unwavering hand. ]

Oh, I know.

[ If she's going to be angry about him knowing more than he let on no matter what he does, then there's no point in keeping it on the down low is there? He's pretty frustrated with this whole situation and although he can't blame anyone for it - she has every right to be angry, he had his reasons to keep quiet - he does feel like she's being unreasonable on some accounts. Enough so to bring out the passive-aggressiveness in him. ]

So, we have a deal, then? I'll be your... your guinea pig to work out the Force and you'll help me with the experiment?

[ leia doesn't know what a guinea pig is, but she gets the general gist, and there's a flash of something that has her standing so abruptly that her braid whips around her like a live wire. the empire was notorious for experimenting on people, and even with his consent — she would never. she might have successfully closed herself off to vader's probing, but she can still remember how it felt to be aware of his attempts at prying her mind open in attempt to get a closer look at what tarkin swore she knew. ]

I'll help you, but if you think that I was asking to use you when all I want is the benefit of your knowledge, then you really don't know me at all.

[ walking around him, she stoops low to retrieve her books. ] Contact me when you wish to begin. [ and then she's gone, heading for the exit with the books held tightly to her chest. ]
