Blush!

Internal squeeing!

Possibly some quiet external squeeing, too!

Maybe even happystims!

And!  Kiss!  She is going to kiss her lovely girlfriend, propriety be damned!

Kiss!

Mmm!  This situation surely calls for beaming and happy wiggles!  Even if it's a distraction from some potentially more-important things!

Pradnakt grins at Diana's wiggles for a bit and then pats her hand and goes back to her reading.

Mhm, that's a good idea, she'll get right on it.

(Has she mentioned Pradnakt is great recently?  It bears repeating!)

Alas that work.  But it is necessary, and she's never flinched before.

Well, Pradnakt will sit with her while she works, at least. For about an hour, maybe, and then she sets her datapad aside and moves to the floor to do some stretching.

Diana probably finished whatever she was working on a little while before that hour was up, but she has plenty of things she can see to without leaving the comfort of girlfriend-snuggles.  Pradnakt getting up does prompt a sad moue, but yeah, exercise is a good idea.  She needs to burn off some of the physical energy she didn't expend today, or trying to sleep for tomorrow will be horrible.

Pradnakt's stretching routine is brief, and when she's done she offers Diana her hand and leads her to the cargo bay - between the droids and the salvage it's pretty full, but there's still some room to move, they'll just need to be a bit careful of each other.

Diana can be very careful indeed.  And fuss at the salvage storage, though it does need to look plausible for a human to have done so she can't pack to maximal space-efficiency.

Pradnakt is more focused, running through a kata a couple of times, slowly and then more quickly, before wreathing herself in lightning, pausing to make sure Dana doesn't find this too alarming before she goes back to what she was doing.

Diana doesn't find that particularly alarming, though she does wince.

The wince does get Pradnakt's attention, but when Diana goes back to what she was doing, she moves into another kata.

She's trying to hold the lightning at a royal blue color, but this is apparently pretty tricky for her; she keeps reverting to the standard yellowish-white on more complicated moves.

...Huh.  Diana's honestly curious what the heck is going on, now.  "What's the difference, between the blue and the yellow?"

    "The blue form adds a telekinetic element, ma'am; it also takes more focus, which is why she keeps losing it during complicated maneuvers."

"Huh.  Interesting.  I should probably practice with my lightning-adjacent thing myself, now that I think about it...I figured out I could do it, then never actually did anything with the technique."

...Time to see if she can short out a training saber with aurorae.  Well, it's time to do a lot of testing, actually, carefully pointed away from important bits of the ship.

(Pradnakt watches this for a moment and then goes back to her exercises.)

The best adjective to describe Diana's approach to this testing is methodical.

She approaches this ability with the intent to quantify everything she can, testing every variable available that occurs to her - propagation speed, linger time, effect spread, effect falloff with distance and/or time, recoil force (if any happens), effect...effects, correlation of emotional state with all of the above - on a variety of potential targets - electronics both hardened-vs.-EMP and soft, Force barriers, kyber technology both being wielded by a Force-sensitive and not, an opposing stream of energy, blaster bolts, lightsaber blades, Force Lightning if Pradnakt is willing to help out...

After that exhaustive research is done...Diana has tactics to develop based on her results.

...And other information, as well, because if Pradnakt can add telekinesis to her lightning, Diana can add telekinesis to her aurorae, dammit.

...Kriff.  That means more experimenting.  Well, she is having fun with it, but still, void take whatever void-stricken neuron that failed to fire when she was thinking of things to try, because now she has to go and try again.

Pradnakt signs without looking up from her meditation, at that.

    "Pradnakt says you should take a break and come back to it later, ma'am."

"Yeah, I'm just annoyed at past me for forgetting that you said you could mix telekinesis into this when she was developing her testing protocol.  It's only another go 'round, but it's still frustrating that I need to go back.  Insufficient preparedness.  Though I suppose that this is rightly another round of technique experimentation entirely."

Pradnakt opens her eyes to give Diana a look, and pats the floor next to herself.

Well, far be it from her to refuse an opportunity to be close to her girlfriend.

Pradnakt snuggles up close and kisses her cheek and goes back to meditating. (She's shielding a bit better, though if Diana pokes through the shield at all it's still pretty unpleasant in there.)

Diana...has any amount of complicated feelings about the shielding, honestly.  Not about Pradnakt keeping things private, so much as - she doesn't like it when her girlfriend intentionally marinates herself in the horrible emotions.  She doesn't like that her girlfriend feels kind of obligated to do so.

She appreciates the consideration, though, in trying to keep it from disturbing her.

She's calm and collected by the time she drops the shield, at least. And... well, hopefully Diana is taking care of her own meditation, by now.

Well, she's certainly no longer frustrated, at least.
