The response would not soon follow as the Jedi Master formed a large grin on his face.
"You're doing quite well my Padawan, what is it you are thinking now?"
It was simply a question to get the boy to practice the telepathy with the Jedi Master, he would need practice to get a true handle on the technique.

Olmurani thought a moment and answered.
"I'm thinking of my home. I see the savannas of Cathar. My home. And my mother...washing the dishes. My sister in her bedroom listening to music."
Olmurani could see these things in his mind as if he standing there. His memories of home never left him and nor would they. He knew it was not the jedi way to make attatchments. He was taught to let go of these things but he couldn't just erase his memories.

The Jedi Master smiled and nodded to himself at the answer.
"Remember Olm, these attachments must be careful, they can lead to powerful emotions and if you cannot control these they can lead you down a dark path, a path I do not wish to see you trek down. I do not fear you are in any danger of following this path though, these thoughts are good for you, give you reason to fight for the Jedi teachings and tenets. You will be a great Jedi, and your family could very well be a great cause in that."

Listening intently, Olmurani understood the teachings. He was glad to know that his memories were not always to be pushed away but sometimes rather used for the betterment of his cause and the cause of the Jedi Order.
"Thank you master. I understand fully."
Olmurani felt a deep content that he was "allowed" to hang onto the memories of his family. Previously, he had thought of his memories as attatchments that the Jedi Order deemed unnesesary and the start to the wrong path. Though, as his master had warned him, he still needed to be carefull. He could'nt let his thoughts controll his feelings.

Rev smiled and gave the boy a nod before leading him out of the small meditation room. It could wear the boy down quickly talking in the telepathic ways so much in such a short time.
"Have you learned the art of Meditation yet Olm?"
"Have you learned the art of Meditation yet Olm?"
Olmurani thought back to his previous learnings from the teachers of the jedi tempil. He had enjoyed learning the technique and enjoyed using it to calm himself in his stress.
"Yes master, I have. Though I don't really know how good I am at it. I mean, in compairison with other students my age."
He said while walking with his master. Olmurani still could'nt help but wonder what his master had planed next.

Rev nodded before stopping and looking at the boy.
"Then let us practice, take the position you normally would when you meditate. Once there we will begin this exercise. It should revitalize you, through teaching you will be able to meditate far better than any other Padawan in this academy."
He smiled at him before waiting to get into his own position for meditation.

Olmurani did as his master said and sat cross-legged. His meditation position was different than the other Padawans. He was bent over slightly with his elbows resting on his knees whith his hands folded together and his head bowed, eyes closed, and his forehead touching his clenched hands. Olmurani had found this to be the most comfortable position to meditate in. He was silent as he waited for his master to speak.
