Nisa hadn't been assigned anything in particular while her Master was away so she took it upon herself to go over what she had learned.
And over... and over... and over.
She was at the training grounds sitting on the ground, legs wide, as she reached down one leg towards her ankle, then to the other. She had been running, jumping, leaping and forcing herself beyond what she had previously. Her whole body was aching from being pressed past exhaustion.
She had decided, though, that while she could leave and catch the scheduled shuttle back to the planet, she was going to do more. Letting her body cool down while keeping it from stiffening, she mentally went over what her next round of punishment to herself would be.

Her face cooled by the breeze as she jogged around the large lake, Ondraeya enjoyed the forested moon which hadn't been inhabited for centuries, from what she had been told. Imagining a large estate overlooking this spot filled her mind as she did her best to ignore the aching muscles. Keeping herself in shape was paramount now that she had been trained in the Force. Military training had been fairly easy, but this demanded so much more than just physical conditioning. This ability demanded everything and being Hapan she expected to be perfect in every way no matter what it took.
Climbing the rise next to a short, cascading waterfall, violet eyes soon fell on another of the Penumbra who seemed as tired as Ondraeya felt. Slowing her pace as she broke through the shadow of the nearby wood, the neophyte grinned knowing she had a chance to meet another of her fellow Dark Jedi finally. "Morning," she called and soon stopped her morning run. Hands on her shapely hips, Ondraeya walked the rest of the way to Niesara.

Looking up, Nisa raised a curious eyebrow at the woman before her. She didn't recognize her, but given her nocturnal habits, she didn't know a lot of those in the Keep. "Morning...."
Nisa let a small tendril of Force circulate out from her. It wasn't an attack or even a challenge, it was more like a caress. She had learned in her time here, so far, that when her own trained, albeit not master level yet, power tendriled out towards others, she would be able to sense some of their own level of power simply by how the edges reacted when in contact with one another.
As she sat up then finally rose to her feet, she watched the play between their auras. The Force was powerful here on the training grounds. Something she had sought out once or twice but never discovered. Something seemed to feed the natural levels here to unnatural strengths as if somehow knowing that students here would need fuel in their trainings.
Although, given her imagination, it could just be that out here where there was no distraction, she was just more aware of the Force.
"I'm Nisa. I was just about to take a run myself. How is the trail today?" She smiled and nodded back the direction the woman had come from.

"Quiet," she replied feeling the echo of the Force as it washed passed. Unsure as to if the girl had done that or if there were some strange building or spot beyond her that may be soaked with the Force, Ondraeya let it go for now. "Love this moon," violet eyes scanned their quiet surroundings and undulating forest that reached for miles in every direction. "Part of it kindof reminds me of home."
Nearing her fellow Dark Jedi, she stopped and relaxed a bit more. "Ondraeya," she introduced herself finally. "I've seen you in the dining room of the palace before, just never had the chance to meet."

Interesting....
She watched the woman's Force stop reaching and withdrew her own wisps. She hadn't manage to read much but with the reaction, she guessed it wasn't a Master that stood before her.
"I tend to keep odd hours. I was about to take a run. You're welcome to join me if you want." Her smile was genuine, but Nisa was curious of the woman could handle another run of she had just finished. She, herself, already felt her body protesting the abuse of not stopping yet. But she knew her advancement trials would new forthcoming, soon. And Jacob didn't go easy, so she couldn't be easy on herself.
Chances are the Knight would press her farther and longer of she dared to show fatigue on that day.

Nodding at the reply, Ondraeya enjoyed her schedule so far, having the opportunity to help out at court as her own upbringing had been living with a mother that spent nearly every day in the palace back home. If her mother could see her now, she mused. "Sure," she stretched a bit more before pushing herself a bit further, knowing that her touch to the Force meant having a strong body as well. "What do you do at the palace, or in town?"
Everyone had their own profession outside the Penumbra, keeping that low profile for the people of Ruusan which was paramount as Force users. It also helped them keep an eye on nearly every aspect of life on the world also.

Nisa smiled. "I don't have a specific task at the moment. I mostly help around the Keep. I straighten the library, help on the grounds. Things like that. I was gone for a while and I returned recently. So I am still just reintegrating myself." She laughed slightly and nodded up the path and started off at a jog. She just assumed the woman would join her and keep up with the easily loping pace. It was longevity she was seeking, not speed. How long could she maintain the pace?
As she ran, she alternated between hefting stones out of the path, and grabbing stray branches and sticks to her hand and then let them drop. Fetch, send, fetch, send... trying to keep in rhythm with her stride.

Jogging alongside Niesara, Ondraeya noticed the tasks that she kept her mind busy with, though her own was still on the jobs that her fellow Dark Jedi had chosen to employ herself in. "Wouldn't think any of us would be rubbing shoulders with the help," she commented, matter-of-factly. "Your background or hobbies not give you any other options?"
Coursing through the forest, around the lake once more, violet eyes appreciated the scenery and used that to distract her mind from aching muscles instead. Unsure if Niesara would think her arrogant, Ondraeya remained true to herself.

Nisa wasn't sure if the girl was shocked or appalled that she did menial work around the Keep. "I am using my talents and hobbies. I happen to love books and be good with plants even if I don't understand what they all are." Though she hoped to find someone who did know the rare ones around the grounds who could teach her, someday.
She tried not to sound snippy, but the edge was still there and the rock she had picked up sailed away from her with a bit more force than was necessary.
"Is it beneath us to do menial work?" She glanced at the woman beside her who seemed far more put together than she ever could. Even after what Nisa sensed was a decent workout, the woman still had perfect hair, and skin and body. Nisa felt like a frumpy child next to her though she guessed they were probably close to the same age of 20 cycles or so.
"I take it you work outside the grounds?" She was inquisitive but wondered why it seemed to be of importance to this girl.
