That's all, is it? And for what purpose?

[The Count raises a skeptical eyebrow. Considering Ezra told him that another Door he dealt with was destroyed... Well. Dooku remembers how impetuous youth can be.]

You see, the Porter is very secure. It would be almost impossible to connect with it... without help from the White Tower.

[lothal]

That's all. Seems like it'd be useful.

[Ezra pauses, then smiles at Dooku.]

It's lucky then, that I know someone at the very top. Right, Master?

[dun_moch]

It may be lucky indeed.

[The Count gives Ezra a smile, then lowers the platform back into the ground it was crudely wrenched from, the demonstration at an end. As they float downward, the gears turn in Dooku's mind.

Actually enabling the boy to have access to the Porter is out of the question - at least, for now. Such boldness is prohibited for good reason, and the Count doesn't doubt that Ezra intends some mischief. But the goal can serve as useful motivation, something to dangle, scraps of information and hints doled out as reward for loyal service...]

But it would take a strong commitment. It is not something to be done lightly. Only one with the deepest, most powerful understanding of the Force has a chance of reckoning with the mysteries of the Porter. It could require years of study and training... and total dedication.

[As well as complete obedience to one's wise and dignified Master, who holds the key to the special door.]

[lothal]

[Once they're back on the ground, Ezra takes a moment to stand up and stretch.]

Mhm.

[He's listening, clearly.]

Unfortunately, as far as I know, I'm the only one here who understands the Force in that way. The only one who's spent years meditating and considering this. The only one from a planet where the Jedi and the Sith studied this phenomenon.

I can call anyone master... Master. The commitment's on your end, not mine.

[Dooku can't help but chuckle. The sheer cheek. He stands up as well, unfolding himself from his meditation position and rising to his feet like a pillar from the Earth.]

You are a bold one, aren't you? But you misjudge your position. There are many potential Apprentices on this planet... but few Masters. Especially Masters with status in the White Tower and proximity to the Porter.

[He spreads his hands in invitation.]

Who else could possibly offer you what I do?

[If there's anyone who might rival the Count in that department, he wants them singled out yesterday.]
