Trying to explain (Oh shoot, I sound like my master...)
Quint looked up at the girls and said, "Ring won't hurt you nor will the the droid."
She sniffed a deep snotty sniff from crying. She said, "Ghost, If you place your hand out, ring will come to you. Then hold ring for a while and it will become yours."
"I knew how to protect you and end his tormenting you," she said leaving a pregnant pause with a but hanging.
"There is more to being a Jedi than just killing and fancy lightsaber moves. We do not rule over people, we try to give people choices, we enforce just laws. We don't use our anger, fear, and pain to hurt others. Negative emotions allow us to amplify the power of the Force, to push ourselves. Ghost's anger allowed her to warp the table, she could have used much less to convey her anger. She could not used the Force at all and just used her words. Ghosts made a choice to lash out with the Force," she said.
She paused and said, "As Mar's said emotions are not the enemy, it is when we take our emotions and use them in the Force. The Force allow you to get when you want, to be selfish. You could make a man fall in love with you. You could destroy marriages, take peaceful planets and make them war torn savages. Ripper is evil, but the true monster is the one who made him that way and keeps him that way. The scary part that dark monster lives in each of us and that is the real enemy. We can do things others can't." She had felt those temptations, sometimes stronger than others.
Quint thought about her master telling her not every problem needed the Force to solve it and only use as much Force as you need and not more. It was like the basic light saber skills, don't move an meter when a centimeter will do. She hadn't really been taught more than the basics. He master had taught her a meditative movements and focused on the basic light saber movements nearly every day. She missed that and she missed him.
She put out a hand to touch VT-L2.
