startarebellionSometimes there wasn't any need to let the Force guide him to find ways to help. Not that Galen was looking for ways to help people. He'd actually been trying to find a way out of Darrow when he'd come across the girl leaving the warehouse. He was up on a nearby rooftop when he'd seen the group of men that were closing in on her. They'd actually changed directions from where they were walking once they saw her and from the way they held themselves at least two were armed and all of them seemed on edge. He could practically feel the aggression coming from them.
Leaping from one rooftop to the next Galen jumped down and landed between the group of men and the girl, who hadn't even seemed to have noticed the men behind her.
"What the fuck!" one of thugs shouted, pulling out a pistol. With a snap-hiss Galen's lightsaber was out and sliced the gun in half just past the man's hand.
Another one pulled out a gun as well and fired of several shot. Galen held his hand up and wrapped the bullets in the Force, slowing them to a stop before letting them drop to the ground. Another use of the Force sent the gun flying away, the man staring at his hand with eyes wide.
"Go," Galen barked, waving his hand at the group. Three of them took off immediately, probably not needing the nudge of the Force that he gave them. The rest that stayed he just picked up and threw down the street. He didn't want to bother with this, didn't trust himself not to just cut them all down where they stood. That seemed to be enough to convince the rest of them that they should leave as they scrambled to their feet and took off running.
Reaching out he pulled the gun that he'd thrown out of the hand of the attacker and grabbed it out of the air. Turning it over he inspected it.
"Not a blaster, but not bad."

Date: 2016-04-04 03:22 pm (UTC)"I- it's- I wasn't sure I was able to do it," he finally said after a moment. "But with the Force half the time just believing you can is good enough."

Plus there's the whole force-using Jedi thing. "What's that like? Being able to just believe something to make it happen?"

Date: 2016-04-24 06:16 pm (UTC)"It's not... quite like that," Galen said, frowning thoughtfully as he tried tried t figure out how to explain it. If you just had to believe then there'd be no strong or weak Force users. He understood what she meant though.
"By it's strange. Because you can know all you need to do to move something is believe yo can and still... not believe."

Date: 2016-04-27 01:57 pm (UTC)There was something about her attention that Galen couldn't pin down. It felt like all of it was focused on him but it wasn't in a bad way. It was kind of nice actually, to have someone interested in what he was saying without being suspicious or critical. It was just an unusual thing.
"I guess, although I've met people here with magic and it doesn't feel quite the same. And I definitely can't... turn anyone into a frog? That seems to be a thing that people with magic can do? At least people say it is."

Date: 2016-05-01 05:29 pm (UTC)"I've met someone like that too. It took some getting used to, seeing someone do things that I knew weren't possible with the Force," Galen said, although now that he said it he wasn't so sure about that. Who was he to put limits on the Force?
"Does your world have a lot of stuff like that? Magic and people with powers?"
