Your mental defenses must be strong.

[ The Dark are adept at forcing their will on others. Obi-Wan has been subject to a few. ]

The Dark always seeks control above all things.

[talentedscavenger]

Not strong enough. He still entered my mind....he.. [She took a deep breath, finding herself recalling the pain, the feelings..] He saw my fears and tempted me, then...something in my mind clicked and I was pushing back, I found his fears and pushed him out.

[She paused, gathering her thoughts..]

That hasn't changed.

[jedies]

And it's up to you to see that it never does.

[ Not that Obi-Wan is worried, but it bears repeating. ]

[talentedscavenger]

Up to me? [She gives him a puzzled look.]

Luke is a Jedi, not me. He...[She doesn't even know where she fits into this. If she would be trained to be a Jedi when Luke's the last one, and so many other things.] Is meant to keep the Dark Side at bay. Or destroy it.

[jedies]

One Jedi can keep the light going, but there is more to a Jedi than being a sentinel in the Dark. We're stronger when we're together. You're as important as anyone else.

[talentedscavenger]

[ Part of her wants to tell him she's no one, nothing of importance. But that's changed. She's meant to do something greater, even if she has a hard time believing in it. ]

There are days when that's hard to believe. [ Especially with the big concern being if Luke would train her. ]

[jedies]

It will always be hard to believe. Hard to accept. But the key to moving forward is not what you are, but who you wish to be.

[ Obi-Wan is a celebrated Jedi Master. The best at lightsaber combat. The first Jedi to fight a Sith in two thousand years and win. But at heart, he knows he is a failure. But that doesn't matter. How he feels is small compared to what he must do. What he must continue to strive for. ]

[talentedscavenger]

[ Who does she wish to be? That's a hard question...one she hasn't thought about. It's only been about surviving and staying alive long enough to be with her family. Then it became about finding Luke. The end goal was ultimately protecting her friends...protecting what she cared about most. ]

I don't know where to start with that.

[jedies]

Nobody does. It takes time to find yourself.

Perhaps Riverview can help with that.

[talentedscavenger]

[Could that be the reason why she was brought back? To find herself? To complete another task? Before going back to find Luke?]

Maybe. I won't rule it out.

[jedies]

Never rule out the possibilities.

[talentedscavenger]

...then it would withstand that is would be possible for me to have been here before.

[jedies]

[ Obi-Wan blinks, trying to parse that. ]

Do you mean this place in particular?

[talentedscavenger]

[ There's a slow nod of her head. ]

My friend, Poe, he said I was here before but I don't recall anything of this place.

[jedies]

[ So there are more people? Obi-Wan runs a hand through his beard. ]

I'm afraid I don't know much about that. The Force works in mysterious ways.

[talentedscavenger]

[At least one more person from their world...which is still odd considering he doesn't remember the same events as her.]

That I believe...as frustrating as it can be sometimes. [Like why she can't remember this place, or why she was brought back.]

[jedies]

Then you must master you frustration. You cannot let it control you.

[talentedscavenger]

I won't. [The words are murmured softly. Is this the point of being a Jedi? To be in control of your emotions at all times?

And they've been stuck in this lift for a while...and she's very much contemplating of trying to figure out what's wrong with it.]
