Change of Pace, Change of Place (Council, Aaron Belargic)

[Rognan Dar]

"Such a connection could effect in this way. It all depends on how strong that connection would be and how hard she might be trying to use such a thing. Connections through the Force are a strange thing, and I dont think anyone knows how deep they go or all that can happen with and through them."

Rognan, also being a twin, had a connection with his sister. Their connection was small and weak. As time went by, and the more they were around eachother, the stronger it became. He could feel his sisters emotions sometimes, even when he is not close to her. So to say that someone might be able to use such a connection to turn someone to one side or the other may not be as far fetched as some would think.

[Aaron Belargic]

Much like Rognan, Aaron experienced something of a shared consciousness with his brother when the two were in close quarters. Even at a great distance, the Belargic brothers had a knack of knowing instinctively if their counterpart was in trouble. Yet for all Dasquians strength as an empathy, his own emotions had never directly affected Aaron’s. Then again, the Padawan doubted that his brother would have ever tried to accomplish such a feat. James’ sister, on the other hand, could not be accounted for and thus it seemed even more important that the newly risen Jedi Knight have some kind of emotional support.

“The link has not been exploited to this day, has it?” Aaron questioned quietly, trying to see some positive light to the situation, perhaps somewhat naively. “And surely the stronger James grows, the harder it will become for De’Ville to affect her – if she can affect her at all.”

[James Prent]

James turned wide eyes to Aaron, and shook her head. "N-no, I've not felt ...her... at all. But... we're not twins. She's much older than I am."

[Navaria Tarkin]

As someone being an expert on such matters like Aaron, Navaria spoke up calmly, "As James has said, they are not twins and I highly doubt such a link even exists to be exploited. Not all siblings that are Force sensitive develop close attachments to forge such bonds."

She nodded to Aaron, "But in some cases, the links are already established as with twins and even clones in my case."

[Wei Wu Wei]

Wei nodded. "Ok. Then there's no need to worry about that. I cannot imagine what sort of shock that kind of news has carried for you, James. But I do understand a need to take time out to sort your feelings. It is understandable that you want to face this challenge alone. But as you face it, do not forget your friends and fellow Jedi."

[James Prent]

She nodded slowly, "Yes... I mean, no, I won't forget." James paused, and then added, "Does that mean we have permission to be on the next scheduled supply transport to Yavin IV?"

[Rognan Dar]

"That it does, James. I wish the best of luck to whatever you are hoping to achieve. You should be safe there, and with the other Jedi there you will not be alone. Whenever you are ready you are more then welcome to come back."

[Wei Wu Wei]

"Go take your break. You need it. We'll be waiting to see you return safe and of sound mind."

[James Prent]

She bowed respectfully. "Thank you very much." James looked at Aaron as he also bowed, and then they both made their way back out into the hallway.

She was happy that she would get her chance to sort everything out in her mind - but also a bit wary of what Yavin IV might hold in store for them.

[Rognan Dar]

Rognan watched James go and waited a moment before finishing his thoughts with the other members of the council.

"I did not want to say this before James, because she seemed to have enough on her plate, but I can't help but thinking that there might be a little more to this bond then we are letting on. Sure, they are not twins and, therefore, dont have a direct link to one another but that does not mean that there is none at all.

Even within familes there can be a strong bond. It might be possible, however small this bond is, that she could be found through it; have a kind of tracer on her. If they both know that they are related, James' sister might try and do something with her. So, would it be safe to say that we should not worry about this, and to let her go to be alone, where very little will be able to help her?"

[Jubei SaDherat Vader]

“You forget that Masters Evanar and Mystt make their home on Yavin. Knight Prent and Padawan Belargic will not be without help.”

[Rognan Dar]

"Even so, we do not know what forces this sister of hers has. I dont want to say that something will happen, but sith usually dont let things like this pass them by. My words are only those of consurn."

[Wei Wu Wei]

Wei leaned back in his chair and stretched his legs out, crossing them at the ankles.

"I understand, Rognan," Wei said, putting his hands over his head and stretching and bending backwards over his chair. "But..." Wei pulled himself back to sitting position and sat up straighter in the chair. "I'm afraid there is little we can do for now. I have learned from experience that trying to press these issues can cause more harm than hurt. For now she has only to deal with her feelings. It would be unwise to make her or anyone else deal with a threat that is not yet there."

[Rognan Dar]

"But to say there is no threat, and then it happens, what then? We will then be unprepared to do anything about it. But I understand what you say, and I will take your wisdom in the matter."

[Jubei SaDherat Vader]

“Knight Wei speaks true. James is not the only Jedi to be possessed of family who have fallen from the light. We cannot coddle and cosset them all. Least of all James, when we have just invested so much faith in her through bestowing her with the rank of Knight.”

[Navaria Tarkin]

"As I have stated already, the chances are slim for they are not twins, nor are they close. The possibility that it could occur should be kept in the back of our minds, but our main concern is helping to do all we can for Prent to deal with the knowledge that De'Ville is her sister. And we have.

We gave our blessing to Knight Prent to leave for Yavin for she thinks it is the proper place for her to mediate upon what has happened. Evanar and Myst shall keep us awares of how she is doing."
