Throwing a container with the force

Throwing a container with the force. The room of hers was a mess. Everything was thrown as if allowing her anger to be released from within. Lifting the desk, she wanted to rip it apart. Using both hands, she reached deep within the force energy. Suddenly she froze, she knew this was wrong. Giving into the darkness. Taking a breath. Lexi let out the anger, and the troubling thoughts to welcome her calm mind.

Placing it down, a thought crossed her head. Can't let emotions get the best of her. Never again.

She was only eighteen. Never led missions by herself. She had her Master by her side. Now this one would be alone. Since this was now war. No more peace talks, supply runs, or checking on planets.

"You are restless."

Jumping, Lexi spun around to see Shaak Ti at the entrance. Her eyes had a repulsive look when she saw the mess in her chambers. Blushing in embarrassment and also feeling guilt within. The padawan brushed her clothes to at least look presentable.

"Take a walk with me."

Riddles and more. How she doesn't get why they all do this. Lexi prefers being direct.

Was this their way of training? If it was, she despised it.

Catching up to Togruta, she regained her breathing since the other had longer strides. Her eyes shifted around to see young clones being directed somewhere. It's been three rotations since the offer of the Kaminoan. She tried to avoid everyone.

"Speak your mind. I've been watching you. The anger is building within you and it can lead you down a path of darkness."

Freezing, Lexi didn't notice that the master was watching her. Yet not surprised. The small training she did with Master Shaak Ti supervising her had her feel something.

Relief?

"I.. Master, why did the war start? Why do the Separatists strike us when I believe it's over something trivial."

Shaak Ti slowed her pace as if replaying the words inside her head. The female soon halted to face the young child.

"Everything happens for a reason child. We must learn to adapt and control our in the present." She paused while pulling her hand away to put it behind her back. "If we don't, then we fall into despair and not focus around us. It can lead to more death."

Listening to the words carefully. She recalled several lessons with her deceased master. Her eyes looked to the Jedi as she tried to read the elder. Yet her level wasn't as high as hers.

She was still learning and much to learn. With the force, dueling, and many more.

Lexi was an open book at times with her emotions.. sometimes getting the best of her.
