@hopebrought [ anakin’s brow pinches at the self deprecating words that leave his son’s mouth. it echoes in a horrifyingly familiar way — memories of his own youth training as a padawan, frustrated with himself and the force, flowing through his mind. ] trust me when i tell you i know how you feel. it’s easy to lose balance and let your mind slip away — that’s why we meditate and we train. [ he reaches out with his flesh hand, clasping his son’s shoulder in firm reassurance. ] you are already strong in the force, luke, do not doubt yourself. you [will] master this. i have all my faith in you. now.. close your eyes and try again. focus on what you can feel, what you can hear.
