[ Something that he's felt a little bad for, what with some seeming pleased to see him... again... only to realize that he doesn't recall anything of this place or his previous time here. ]
no subject
[Despite his earlier teasing, Qui-Gon remains good-natured in his responses. This one is no different, outside of the slightest cajoling hint.]
What is important is that you're here now and that you're eager to continue your lessons.
no subject
[ Since before Master Yoda, he's only had himself to rely on for training and to be surrounded by so many other Jedi here, well, never mind the overwhelming aspect of it all, if he can learn more from them then he would like to. ]
I mean, if you don't mind.
no subject
[And he means it.]
[The very idea of passing on what he knows to the next generation of Jedi--as small a group as they are--is more than enough to make Qui-Gon happy; more than enough to satisfy that need to ensure the culture of the order he loves so much stays alive.]
We should meet soon to discuss your training. When would be good for you?
no subject
[ So eager, something Master Yoda had considered to be a lack of patience. So, perhaps trying again here. ]
Or... whenever is best for you.
no subject
I appreciate the enthusiasm.
[Qui-Gon pauses, running a mental check of any plans he may have or jobs he needs to work. With his house as full as it is, rent isn't really an issue, so he's been able to make time for miscellaneous things like lessons for his fellow Force-sensitive residents and gathering information from the locals. The latter can be put aside for later, and the former... well... Luke very much falls into that category.]
We can start today if you'd like.
no subject
[ Not that he knows everywhere within this world yet but, if it's some place that's easy enough to get to, he'll make the trip there. After all, with everything that Master Yoda had put him through, it should be a piece of cake with Master Jinn.
Right? ]
no subject
I usually like to hold my training sessions by the lake, close to the forest edge. Would that suffice for you?
[There are so many rocks there. So. Many.]
no subject
That works just fine for me.
[ And even though Qui-Gon can't see, Luke nods at that. ]
Should I get going then?
no subject
Yes, please.
I'll meet you there.
[And Qui-Gon is legitimately excited about it, too. Looks like it's contagious!]
no subject

[It's a nice change of pace from the older Jedi Qui-Gon's had to work with, and reminiscent of the young Padawans he's dedicated so much of his life training and raising.]
Good morning, again.
[He accompanies his greeting with a quick dip of his head and a smile on his face.]
I hope I haven't kept you waiting.
no subject
[ A little too eager and beaming with that smile on his face, Luke gives a wave to Qui-Gon as he approaches... giving a brief nod of his own head then after. Need to be polite after all. ]
Not at all. I haven't really been here long.
[ A beat. ]
What did you want to work on first?
no subject
We’ll get to that in a moment, I promise.
[He feels like the reassurance is needed, what with how excited and eager Luke is to get to their lessons.]
Let’s talk for a moment. I’d like to get a better idea of where you are in your training and where you’d left off with Master Yoda.
[Knowing how the venerable Jedi worked, Luke’s training thus far must be anything but orthodox—and that’s fine. Better than fine, actually. It’s what the Jedi need: a good shot in the arm and a wake up call to open themselves to change and all it can offer.]
no subject
My training with Master Yoda?
[ Boy, where to start there... ]
Well, I don't know if you'd really call it training in the traditional sense. [ Though he smiles a little to Qui-Gon. ] He had me carrying him around on his back and levitate rocks in all sorts of different positions... mostly upside-down.
[ Crossing his arms, he gives a rather thoughtful look. ]
He didn't really go into much about the dark side of the Force, just that it's pretty strong and to be careful about using anger in battle.
[ Looking to Qui-Gon, he frowns a little. ]
Somehow I get the feeling talking in riddles was a thing of his.
no subject
Your feelings would be correct.
[Despite the quip, his response is full of love and respect for the tiny Jedi Master and his unconventional training methods.]
From what I can tell, the majority of your training centered around physical and mental conditioning.
[What he doesn't mention is that Luke is playing a lot of catch up--the majority of his tasks are given to and mastered by Initiates in the Jedi Temple at a very young age.]
[It's hardly the young man's fault, though. And his skills may not be entirely reliant on prior training, anyway. It certainly wasn't the case when Luke had been here before... although he'd had more training under his belt by then.]
[Maybe there's a more practical way of assessing Luke's skills outside of Qui-Gon's simple and biased conjecture.]
Could I ask for a demonstration? There are plenty of rocks nearby.
