Приключения Сантала.

Chapter 15. Solid surprises

What a person is like in the soul, you can't see with your eyes.

Santal is over the moon! After she found herself in the thick of the events of the Padawan Tournament, the Jedi Council, for showing herself, gives a guarantee that after the trials of the younglings, she will have a teacher. Dooku, in turn, apologizes for being rude to the child and offers additional classes with him. And the girl agrees.

The day when Dooku agreed to study with Santal additionally remained in the girl's memory forever as one of the happiest days in her life. Even happier than the day of arrival at the Temple. Santal has never been in such a good mood.

Literally the next evening, the girl, barely waiting for the end of classes, ran to Dooku's room and in five minutes was already hovering near the door, not daring to knock. I was so worried from anticipation and fear that, despite the apologies, the training would be tough.

—Come in," the magister's voice was heard outside the door.

Santal immediately exhaled and went inside and immediately began to study the senior Jedi's chambers with her eyes.

Master Dooku's room was decorated in blue and green tones. There was very little brown color. Only on furniture. And so — light green wallpaper. Blue bed linen. And the bed itself seems more comfortable when compared with the younling room. Apparently, the higher the rank, the better the room. Or a promotion gives you the right to redo the room as you want. And there were two cabinets with holobooks.

Dooku himself was sitting on a round pouf and meditating. But when the girl appeared on the threshold, he opened his eyes and stood up.

— Just in time. Let's go.

The magister walked ahead with moderately long strides, and Santal trotted after him with her tail.

"Today's lesson will be held outdoors in the garden," Dooku announced.

Santal didn't mind. Moreover, the garden was one of her favorite places along with the library and the Hall of a Thousand Fountains. But, on the other hand, there was still unrest. Yes, Master Dooku apologized, but what if she messes up and starts all over again? Or because she showed herself, he will decide that it is necessary to be stricter?

— Don't worry. It won't be such a training," the magister apparently sensed her concern. "I know I was too hard on you last time. This time it will be different. Do you like to win?

"Only honestly," Santal replied, just in case.

Dooku chuckled.

Arriving in the garden, the girl immediately ran up to the pond to admire the fish again. But the master immediately ordered not to be distracted. So I had to postpone my favorite activity for later and sit in the lotus position. It's time to meditate.

— Did you know that there are several meditation poses? The magister suddenly asked.

- no. I haven't read about it," Santal admitted.

"Then I'll introduce you to one of them." Arch pose. Get on all fours and arch like a cat.

Santal did as requested.

— Over time, stretching will only get better. There is also emptiness meditation, moving meditation, flight meditation and healing meditation. They will teach you everything, but for now you should not try to jump higher than yourself. It was also my mistake. Therefore, you won't do the Laser pose yet, I'll just show you what it is.

The magister sat down on the soft grass and, rolling onto his neck and shoulders, stretched his body up, dropping his hands to the ground at his sides. Santal watched with admiration.
