"I do not know how to explain... have you ever been blinded, and yet could see?" she murmured, her tone turning thoughtful, fingers lacing behind her back. "To sense all that flows around you... to sense every thing, and yet those that are filled with the Force burn bright as any star in that Vision. And then pretending to see nothing, sense nothing, mask your senses and hide even your cultural identity?" Her tone slowed, and she shook her head.
"We were not taught how the Force interacted like you did... from a young age, we were taught of Ashla and Bogan, Light and Non-Light. We cannot see as you do, not in color or in shadow..." her voice faltered slightly, as if piecing a memory together. "I could see, and yet knew nothing of the Jedi," her tone was soft, almost apologetic. "I knew only to hide, and run when my identity would nearly be known. I was a target."
"All non-beings are translucent. For a droid, I can visualize working parts. For a blast door, I can visualize its' components, and work with my senses to interact and work with it. I have always wanted to heal living and nonliving things..." her left hand flexed as her arms crossed, showing the stumped fourth digit.
"It is within my mind. I do not understand why beings are so afraid of losing what they call... 'sight'." A frown ticked between her eyebrows. "To me, it seems an inconvenience. But... no one asks the opinions of a blind mechanic." The grin returned, this time more of a self-depreciating smirk. "I am here to do what I can, to test my weaknesses and strengths. To prove worthy against any and all trials and tribulations."
This was the most she had spoken in a very long time, deliberately slow, thoughtful, without her usual birdlike chittering. Her mind was clear, her heart was calm, and she felt... almost like she had come home. How strange.
Her face tilted up at his, and she gave her trademark slanted grin. "So... I am ready." And she was. She was prepared for whatever he threw at her.
