Simon caught the disappointed look on Ren's, "do not worry, grasshooper. I can teach you all you wish to learn.

So I get to do it here, and I'm prepared for all the hard work" she said softly "I like being able to help people, and not hurt them" her eyes flicked to her sword, which was leaning up against the arm of the chair, and she shuddered slightly.

Anyway" she led the boys to the training room, and waited for them to be ready
