Laboured breathing again, and the sound of cloth rustling. "... ahh..." Hurts, all over. "... changing bandages. Injuries, bad. Enough that I'm laying low for a good week or so, to focus on training and avoid the new power-happiness of the Apprentices. Or, at least, until I'm ready."

"One thing I've noticed, since starting here, is that some of the stubborn body fat I had that wasn't coming off before is burning away. I've been moving about much more, using all my energy, exhausting myself to every limit, and then surpassing it. Though it has been little over a week in House Horuset, it feels more like a month."

A pause, and the sound of a rip. "Started working on my Telekinesis today, but Apprentice Zeldris interrupted, asked me for a spar. I want to say I kept up, but between his Augmentation, Shock, and seemingly-endless aggression, ultimately, he laid me low. I had to be taken to the infirmary by some slaves - one of my arms will take some recovery before I can feel it again. Later, Apprentice Kaidar gave me a task, and... I refused, given the circumstances, effectively since it would insult a Sith. He retaliated with Lightning. I... passed out briefly in the Training Room, but got up before I could be dragged out."

"... and on the way out, Sith Soti was... merciless. She put out a message that other creeds and religions will not be tolerated, and removed the arm from a Zabrak Acolyte. I think? She had horns poking up, but I was a bit out of it. Nonetheless, another infirmary trip, and back to research and Telekinetics training, despite the headache."

Hrm. "Well, not before Apprentice Rendvir, under Our Dark Lord Herself, was taking me for questioning. Apprentice Orgkez tried to beat us up there and hide, but he was caught, and had his arm broken. Then I was given orders to not give him any information again." Sigh. "I'm in a maelstrom of politics. I was forthcoming about the Library incident with the Apprentice. He stated that what I inform people of, he is to be informed as well. Perhaps this is advantageous - if I am established as honest, it ensures I am not suspected or blamed for incidents that may occur around me. If I keep clean, I can survive."

"Night ended with a duel against Apprentice Vax, despite an arm down. He was purely on defense to make it even, and I had a few decent hits in - he respected my creativity. It's... what I've got, really. I must improve to hold my own." As traditional, she starts a song, but it's short - something of determination, before the recording ends.
