She will.

Good.

...and now she believes it is time to call things a day. An early start tomorrow is required.

"Should I walk you back to your apartment?"

"If you like, though taking a speeder might be a better idea."

"Same basic idea."

"Let us go, then."

She asks a few questions about Occlus's reorganizing efforts on the way back through traffic.

Occlus is quite willing to speak on this subject, and answers questions in great depth.

Ani remains interested even at descents into dry minutiae. She doesn't really have suggestions, here - Occlus is clearly the subject matter expert - but she's interested in learning (or perhaps just in hearing Occlus talk), and remembers a good bit of how the Jedi organized things, too.

Occlus is disdainful of any systems not her own, and will easily tangent into tearing them to pieces. Occasionally because of situations their creators never thought would come up, but that is no excuse.

Oh she can definitely help with tearing the Jedi system to pieces - from the perspective of someone who actually had to try to use it, too.

(Ani was honestly significantly a situation nobody ever thought would come up, both from a learning styles perspective, from a 'latecomer to the Jedi' perspective, and from a 'barely restrained gleeful ball of terror' perspective. She knows exactly how poorly the system could cope with a mischievous and intermittently supervised thirteen year old.)

Occlus has fewer opinions when it comes to the pedagogical side.

Ani has quite a few - she does, of course, have Luke and Leia as students (or close enough), but some of the way she talks indicates she's anticipating taking more on at some point.

"Has your Republic begun recruiting for more Jedi?"

" - Not yet. I want Luke more ready to stand on his own, first, or even able to take his own students, and he's not quite there yet."

"And I don't want to refound the Jedi as they were, anyways, regardless of what name we'd be using. Knowing for sure what philosophy I want to teach is - one hurdle I'd like to cross, first."

"You are in an excellent position to make changes, that is true. If my perspective can be of help, you need only ask."

"I'm not seeking to rebuild the Sith, either, but - someone to bounce ideas off of would be nice."

"I can do that."

"I want a strong focus on individualism and independence, is my main consideration, and I'm not sure any prior system has done that - partially by being systems designed for a large group."

"Of course. Such things by nature cannot be all things to all people."

"I suspect if I set each student on their own path, eventually it'll turn into a huge medley of systems, but that's likely better than one or two nearly monolithic philosophies."

"A framework of basic rules, such as 'do not found a Galactic Empire'. And over time, build a corpus of more finely-tuned advice."

"I think things like 'do not found a Galactic Empire' need to be persuasive to be proof against my personality. I tended to react to unexplained rules by doing the exact opposite as a child."

" - I think I joked, once, that if I ever wrote a Code I'd make the first rule 'do not believe what you read' and the second 'do not do anything this Code instructs you to.' Perhaps I'll merely have ideas, not axioms."

"That helps your failure case, but not those who need firm guidance."

"Fair enough."

"Some way to sort students among different methods would be ideal, or at least to instill an early ability to self select."
