Nara listened to the other padawans get into an actual, real debate about the nature of responsibility, the role of history and the way the Jedi were and should have been. Things seemed to get... just a little bit heated. In a respectful way, which was both a blessing and a curse. At least nobody was fighting, but fighting would have honestly made things the tiniest bit more interesting.
"Well, I'll give you all one thing, you're slightly more interesting than the old Jedi Masters when you're talking about this. Slightly." She waved towards the book she'd been looking at as she sat up on one of the tables. Taking a look to make sure no Knight or Jedi Librarian/archivist/'Master of the Sacred Books' would tell her off for such a sin.
"Yeah okay, you're right that they keep the teachings for a reason but isn't the point supposed to be that we learn from them and do better? The Order lasted a thousand years... then it didn't. We take their teachings, learn from them, try to make sure we don't make the same mistakes. And yes, before someone jumps down my throat, they did a lot of good too. And so do we, right? When we're not trying to choke down six hundred pages on the musings of a Jedi Master."
She waved her hand towards the holobook she'd been skimming and complaining about earlier, and it slid over the table towards her. With a little satisfaction, she picked it up and held it against herself.
"And as for forging our own paths... I'm not entirely sure, but I think I'm gonna forge a path towards the dining hall before too long. Something about arguing over the past makes my stomach groan."
