Alsuna chuckled as Isen spoke about his love of action. Offering a humorous "Clearly." in return. As he spoke of his inevitable demise however she became a bit more thoughtful. The Padawan would be able to feel the negative emotions dying down as she became more and more comfortable in his presence. She was almost being casual with him now.
"I think you're being awfully pessimistic for a Jedi." She said teasingly, offering a slight smile, though there was a seriousness behind it. "Aren't you supposed to be all about hope and the triumph of the light?" She paused to giggle. "You're already talented Padawan. Never settle for thinking you've hit your peak. That's one lesson you ought to take from us dark siders. You're afraid you might die in combat? Dedicate every waking moment to your training. Make every cell in your body a part of a deadly weapon..." she paused, thinking, then offered him perhaps the most genuine smile she had yet. "And have faith that the Force really is behind the Jedi."
Izel watched Yulie, antennae twitching as she felt the flow of the Force around her. She wasn't reaching out. The Vratix remained patient however, and continued to speak in a calm and encouraging tone. "You're not asserting yourself." She explained. "Remember that your relationship to the Force flows in both directions. You are not simply a passive observer. The Force flows through you." She paused, trying to think. Eventually she came back to the water analogy. "Right now you're behaving like a stick, floating down a stream. Instead be the rock that alters the flow, makes the water move around it. You are two equal and opposite forces. Right now it is pushing on you, don't be afraid to push back." It was a difficult line to tread, and required confidence to do so calmly. Izel was aware it would be much easier for Yulie to use her anger and frustration to accomplish the task. "Plant your feet, feel the flow, and push it in the direction you want it to go." She said slowly, trying to promote a feeling of calm and control.
