Idilan looked at Kira, as they made their way to the spaceport; logs on Lord Tarnis' equipment indicated data on the Republic's secret weapons had been transmitted to an hyperspace transceiver in Ord Mantell; General Var Suthra wanted the Jedi to investigate. "Do what?"
"You know, stay all cool and..." she gestured vaguely "whatever, when a Darth was threatening death and destruction?"
"What would have you done, Kira?" Idilan watched her more purposefully, which made the Padawan frown.
"There you go, you are being all Jedi again. We are about the same age, aren't we? And you act all wise and composed and you never raise your voice" Kira sighed. "It's creepy."
Jedi = good Teeseven whistled and beeped.
"Better than me, you mean" the young woman frowned at the astromech.
"I've been raised in the Order, Kira" Idilan intervened softly, before an argument started. "You are a new student."
"...and that means?"
"Means I had more time to adapt and adjust. It's not that I don't feel, but I learned to control my actions and reactions" he paused a moment. "Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet the Force."
The mantra made Kira stop and stare a bit at Idilan. "What is that? Sounds a bit like the Code, but..."
"It's the mantra of Maravada the Silent, a Je'daii master from Tython; I discovered the recording while investigating the ruins of Kaleth" he smiled a touch at the recollection, pausing on his stride as well. "You have to strive for self-control, and it includes denying a Sith the fear and anger he wants to provoke."
"So, you fought a whole day all across Coruscant, you knocked down the Guild, Black Sun, the Justicars, and a Sith Lord, you saved billions of lives... by being calm about impending disaster?" Kira sounded skeptical.
Idilan pondered the question a moment before answering with a nod. "Yes, that's what I did."
Teeseven's whistled droid-laughter did not make Kira happy; after a minute or so of standing there trying to decide if she was the butt of a joke or not, the Padawan hurried after the other two.
