Teer would have been lying if she said she felt no pleasure in winning. Yes, it was always enjoyable to win, no matter how outclassed one's opponent was, but it was only minor and fleeting. And had it been for real, that feeling would not have been present.
What people always failed to understand was that killing a foe in a duel was sad. Yes, it was a victory, and it was preferable to be the one still alive, but that didn't change the fact that blotting another being out of existence was fundamentally a sad act.
Where people had trouble understanding Teer Ka was that for her, necessity often outweighed the sadness. She was willing to take lives for a cause, to stop the Dark Side from spreading and flourishing. That had been the core of her existence for long years. Now though, she'd had her fill. Shili was her calling now, her core.
The dual blades of the saberstaff deactivated as Teer pressed the right buttons, and she returned it to her belt, folding her arms and slowing her breathing, which had elevated greatly. Fortunately her control was extensive, and she was hardly heaving and pathetic. No, her dignity was thoroughly intact.
Breakfast was brought up, and right on cue the Togruta's stomach rumbled, undoubtedly asking why she hadn't put any food into it since the previous night. She did feel the need to answer.
"A typical first meal on Shili is fruit and a fresh thimiar. We are carnivores, and eat considerably more meat than you do. Our diet is also absent of grains. You may find our eating methods distasteful, but I will arrange for cooked meat for you."
Cassy was staring up, and Teer followed her gaze up to blue sky, with a few scattered grey clouds. It was visible in a gap in the canopy forest the village was secured safely under, free from prying eyes, and very secure.
The human uttered one word.
"Juyo," Teer confirmed as she lightly touched the woman's shoulder and stepped over a log, starting the trek back to the village.
"Come along."

Cassy's skyward gaze averted at the sound of Master Teer Ka's voice. She took in a sigh and breathed lightly; allowing the wilderness surrounding her too set in again. The trees hummed with morning light; and the wildlife around the area seemed to be practically teeming. A beautiful silence of nature seemed to overtake her in that one moment.
The young Jedi knight sighed; moving a strand of hair away from her face and behind her ear; however to no avail as it fell back in place as she nodded to Master Teer Ka.
She moved behind her in stride; the beautiful silence and white noise provided by nature rhythmically breaking here and there with the crunching of leaves or otherwise twigs or branches under her feet. She gazed around; taking in the planet and all it's wildlife; even the smallest of bugs didn't escape her purview. Highly adept in the Healing Ways of the Force; she could almost feel everything around her as she allowed it. A testament to how alive this planet was. On Coruscant she could barely sense anything when activate her Life senses.
She followed behind Master Teer Ka without so much as a word; her light green eyes scanning behind her for anything out of the ordinary besides the random wildlife in the trees and on the ground in the distance that she felt through the Force; and heard fleeing from the approaching humanoids that were they two.

Teer didn't have to glance back at Cassy to tell the Knight was following her. She could sense her presence spatially, her signature in the Force, and above all she could hear her. The sound of her boots on twigs and leaves produced sounds that even the animals could hear, as they scuttled away.
In contrast, Teer's bare red feet didn't produce a single stray sound, and she moved along in complete silence. Even the boots she wore sometimes now had only a layer of soft leather covering her soles, and could afford silent movement.
They made it back to the village, where life was in full swing. Children were playing games with sticks and hoops, some adults were weaving baskets, and others assembling bows and arrows. It was the ordinary flow of village life.
"Food is always kept in a communal place, where each member of the tribe takes what they need and nothing more. Remember, you are not on Coruscant. Food here is much more valuable. Take only what you need for nourishment."
The Togruta Jedi pulled a large, blue fruit out of a bowl, then thrust a hand into a cage and pulled out a rodent about the size of her fist. It had a long bushy tail, and bright little eyes. Its fur was a sedate rusty brown, and quite thin.
It was a thimiar, the staple food on Shili in fact.
Finding a shady spot under a thatch roof, Teer sat cross-legged and promptly opened her mouth, revealing a sharp set of fangs, which she dug into the rodent's neck. It spasmed and twitched, convulsing after its prompt demise. When it had stopped moving, she tore into it with her teeth and swallowed a bite of the meat, raw.
Only when she was done with her bite did her dark eyes peer over at Cassy to gauge her reaction to a different culture.

Cassy followed Master Teer Ka solemnly, the young Jedi Knight replayed everything she'd been through in her mind over and over; quoting flaws in her steps, mumbling to herself how she could've done better here or there. She broke through into the village; the sunlight creating a brief vision blanket as they stepped into it. She moved her hazel green eyes about; and watched as some children played. The Togruta children....her thoughts fell upon them again. She'd recruited so many children, of so many different cultures and species; but her thoughts fell upon them. They'd held a banquet for them the night before...but Cassy's mind still couldn't help but wonder about the families she'd met here on Shili, as she stepped through the village. Master Teer Ka's words were sobering too her; as her body stopped following her the second they stood in front of an array of food in a bazaar like area of the village. Master Teer Ka explained how things worked here as far as portions and the like as she made to grab some fruit; and even a small animal. She nodded silently. ""However a large, squeamish squeal would be heard in the next second; albeit a shocked and short one a moment later. Cassy covered how mouth; and shook her head in an apology. Bowing; hand still covering her mouth, and raising her head from the bow. "S-Sorry Master....I just...expected you too cook it." Cassy raised an eyebrow as Ka crunched and ripped the thing apart like it was nothing. Cassy grabbed an array of berries; that reminded her of grapes and bit a few of the small vines. A plush; tangy flavor filled her senses. Not quite like anything she'd tasted; but still really stark and good for fruit. She went through the entire one person bundle of grapes like fruit; before tossing the empty vine strewns into a nearby bush; trotting back over from it to where Master Teer Ka snacked. Cassy watched her for a split second and remembered No grains here!. In the next instant; she got hungry for meat....cooked meat! She wanted to wander near the smells of cooked meat she could already smell; but didn't want too...wander up to someones house asking for a slab of steak or anything of that nature. They knew and respected her as one of Master Teer Ka's friends; and a Jedi. However she was just a human dressed in khaki rag pants; and a wife beater to them. Her beauty mattered not here. She didn't want too offend anyone. "Can we.....cook one of those?" Cassy said it with an enthusiastic tone; she smirked at her snacking friend for a moment.

The squeal was a little unexpected. Still, humans had a tendency to feel that way about small and 'cute' animals, though they were merely a food source. Chalk it up to her childhood, but Teer hadn't felt such sentiments.
However, Cassy did bounce back fast, asking if they could cook a thimiar, and Teer nodded, rising from her seated position and grabbed another one of the rodents, dispatching it swiftly, and handing it to Cassy with a long skewer and a knife she'd produced from a pocket.
"You'll have to skin it, gut it, and cook it yourself. I'm not mother."
The Togruta's bare feet carried her out to a cooking fire still lit, and she sat down next to it, folding one leg over the other and returning to the partially consumed thimiar in her hand, saving the fruit for her second course.
She bit into it again and swallowed a bite, chewing around the bones. It didn't bother her that she swallowed intestine and organs, as they were nourishing as well. While to human tastebuds that part might have tasted repulsive, it was fine for her own tastes. And it wasn't in her nature to waste anything.
"Thimiar is a staple food here on Shili. They reproduce so quickly that if we did not eat them, they would overrun the ecosystem."
Perhaps that truth would help the woman feel better about eating something cute.

She noticed Master Ka's reaction and made a 'what?!' face, as if too say her reaction was completely normal. She gazed around once again; taking in the environment as Master Ka pulled one of the furballs up by the tail, and killed it swiftly; like a predator in motion.
She stuffed it into her hands, and Cassy held it by the tail; looking at it with a raised eyebrow as she pulled it up higher to her face.
"No...you most certainly are not." Cassy's thoughts drifted too her alcoholic mother; the pang most children of parents like her felt of being responsible for their parents instead of the other way around hit her for a moment; she wondered if she was still face first into the bottle; even after all these years.
She'd sit down indian style; and fleck out a pocket knife from her cargo khaki's.
The attractive human expertly placed the knife just below the thimiars gaping; dead mouth and jawbone and peeled back once. The bottom skin; flesh and fur came off in neat peal; caught a little at the end but she yanked through. She tossed the piece of skin too her left as she began leveling the knife too just above the creatures nose; with a nice opposite pull and tug on the body and knife; the tops and sides came off nicely.
She tossed the second; slightly larger piece of fur off to the side as well as she stood from her indian stitting position. She looked; around, carrying the skinless animal off with her while she exchanged a few words with a Togruta man who had a fire churning. He took the skinless animal from Cassy and told her too come back in a few minutes; and that he'd gut it out for her.
She bowed in thanks; slide clapping her hands together to clean the blood off as she walked back near Master Ka; gazing around the village.
"How do you think the kids are doing...?" Cassy of course was asking about the Togruta children they'd sent to Coruscant yesterday. She hadn't made any plans to ever get involved with a guy; so she had no immediate kids in the future, but children played a heavy role in her life. It was after all, her job. If there was anything she could gain from Master Teer Ka; it would be how to make the Togruta children more comfortable back on Coruscant when she finally did return.

For a quick moment, Teer wasn't sure which children Cassy was referring to, the villagers present here, or the children from the last village who were likely on their way to Coruscant right now.
Ultimately she decided it was the children of the other village, who had presumably been picked up by a shuttle and taken to one of the Jedi facilities around the galaxy.
As to how they were, Master Ka had her suspicions. They were based off of her cursory knowledge of children in general, her specific knowledge of Togruta, and her own memories of entering the Jedi Order, which were still clear despite five decades of time elapsed.
"I imagine," she began, "That the new Younglings have varying reactions. The youngest of them are probably frightened and scared, but the older children are probably more curious. All of them undoubtedly feel lonely already, separated from their tribe and their families. Yet they will rally and find internal strength to flourish in their new homes. I feel that in the immediate future learning Basic will be their hardest feat."
Teer finished with her thimiar and tossed the remains into the depths of the fire for disposal, then moved on to the fruit. It was citrus, tangy and sweet, with pulp that got caught between her teeth.
The Togruta Jedi was sure the new Younglings, about four in all if she remembered correctly, would adapt and settle into the Jedi routine with time. Maybe some would grow up to be High Councilors, or Weapons Masters like her. One might even succeed her one day as Watchman.
They did have a bright future. She knew that much.

((OOC: Speech color has changed due to to many other folks using that color...))
Cassy nodded slowly; remembering her first days in the Jedi Order. She was afraid; but so eager to impress her peers. So eager in fact that she sometimes went too far, she smiled recalling the memories of the much larger temple then; too her it had seemed like an endless castle. Much the same as it still seemed to today at times.
She listened; her eyes flecking left to right and then down at the ground with a slow nod. She looked around and wondered for a moment about Master Teer Ka's travels before looking back to her left at her.
"So....you don't travel as much as you used too?" she bounced her eyebrows once, interested as she leaned back and crossed her legs. Just as she'd sat on top of the barrel, the male Togruta walked up to her with a stick full of thimiar. She thanked him, and bowed. She blew on it for about a minute straight; letting it cool before eventually biting it.
Stunning; that something she'd seen alive just a few moments ago could taste this good. It was well cooked; thoroughly even, allowing the flavor of it to really come out. As she chewed; she got the flavor accustomed to her mind and decided it was a lot like other meats she'd tried, kind of a salty feel too it.
She finished up before she'd even realized she'd been pretty much devouring it. Maybe she'd been hungry. With several hand slaps, and dusts; she wiped her hands down.
"That...was pretty good.......but he was so adorable. Ugh...I'm a bad Jedi." she put her hands on her lips; actually looking somewhat distraught but wanting to laugh at her plight.

"I travel much more than I used to," Teer said candidly. "Just not as far as before. I don't leave Shili much now, but I'm almost constantly moving."
It was quite true. The Togruta Jedi was constantly on the move, visiting villages on goodwill tours and to recruit force-sensitive children. She was generally taking care of the needs of her people, though admittedly there were still many administrative duties to be done at her office in Corvala.
The post of Watchman was both nothing like what she had expected and everything she had hoped for.
What Teer most valued was her independence, which she had in abundance. She also had solitude, which was both a blessing and a curse. She had some reclusive tendencies as well as deep social tendencies common to her species. It was a mixed bag, but one she found enjoyable most of the time.
She did have long-range communications equipment to stay in touch with the Jedi Order, and with her office in Corvala. That was all she really needed apart from this simple life.
Cassy commented about the thimiar again, and Teer actually laughed. Humans and their concepts of adorable, always hindering their survival... Well, at least she'd made the right choice in eating the creature. But she really couldn't let one statement slip by.
"You're not a bad Jedi at all, not for eating a living creature. There is a cycle of life and death we all exist in. You eat to survive the same as we do. Choosing to survive does not make us bad Jedi."

She nodded slowly in agreement; somehow it started becoming humorous. Perhaps it was just her mind or feelings suppressing what she'd just done. Whatever the facts where; Cassy sighed to herself and looked around.
She took in the village life, as everything seemed to move to a slow crawl. She could feel almost every living thing around her in the village. Everyone felt so peaceful here. For some reason she felt as if she could reach out to almost everyone here, perhaps it was she felt naturally welcomed here. Although she was an outsider; she had been accepted here in the past weeks she'd spent with Master Teer Ka.
If only she'd known more about Tatooine....she was so disconnected from that place. A sudden void began to creep up inside of Cassy as she looked down; ashamed almost at the feelings swirling through her. She felt as if she had no ancestry...no history. That was it! She needed to study Tatooine.....if she only researched it...perhaps it'd fill this...emptiness she felt whenever she thought of it; perhaps it'd give her the strength to go back there and face her family again for the first time in years.
Or perhaps....she was just...afraid. No, she couldn't feel fear, it was just a longing to see her family again. That was all; she wasn't necessarily afraid to see them....what was it then? She wanted too...impress them? With a sigh; she realized this, and began to reflect. Her words came out without her even trying.
"I desire.....I want...to see my family again. Thoughts and visions of Tatooine plague me....I don't know what they mean." Cassy sighed as she thought of home. Of Toran and Joran; her older twin brothers, and of her mother. Alcoholic and all, she still loved her. Still cared. Although she could wipe herself clean of any other emotion, she needed guidance here.
In her mind; she would still do much too much for the sake of her family. Although she'd remained distant from them for all this time, it merely shadowed a deep desire to be loved by them once again.

Visions.
Teer Ka frowned, lines forming on the smooth red skin of her face with the movement, her brow furrowed. In her opinion visions were quite often dangerous, as they inspired activities that were often rash. It was possible to cause a doomed future from acting to prevent it.
When family was inserted into the mix it was worse still. Family attachments were fraught with emotion and brimming in peril for a Jedi. There was a reason they had renounced such attachment. For a Jedi there was no mother or father, though there were siblings from a certain point of view.
The Togruta Jedi was not one of those who saw the Jedi as an Order of siblings, or as one happy family. For her it was a monastic order of warrior sages, with a clear hierarchy. There were those above to be obeyed and those below to be followed.
"You must fight your desire," Teer said with a serious edge to her voice, tossing her core of her eaten fruit into the fire. "As Jedi we have renounced attachments. Seeking out your family will bring nothing good. And visions..."
Teer frowned again and crossed her legs, lightly touching her foot as she formulated her next words, keenly aware that she was expected to be the wise and sagacious Master here. Her usual brusque manner would not suffice. Finesse was needed.
"Visions are fickle. You may see something misleading, or you may see something that never comes to pass. It is still possible that by responding to a vision you will bring it about. Your best course of action is to do nothing. Attend to your duties, let them fill your mind."

Cassy had resorted to sitting indian style on top of the barrel; her arms were relaxed, folded over her knees as she let herself slip into meditation. She listened to Master Ka; her words were soothing.
Nothing good? Surely seeing them again wouldn't disturb her all that much.....however she'd been cut off from them for a reason. She knew that. Her inner turmoil showed on her face as she inhaled deeply and exhaled; slipping into a relaxed expression as Master Ka's words about visions came. By responding too one you could bring it about.....such a warning was needed. It soothed Cassy to hear such things.
"Thank you.....Master Ka, my duties should supersede all things; however......a sense of responsibility wells within me. I feel...responsible for them....my relatives." Cassy looked distraught visibly. It wasn't something she wanted to feel; but it was there nonetheless.

"You aren't," Teer said frankly with a dismissive wave of her hand. It was a rather imperious gesture in fact, like that of some military commander in the ancient days of sword and shield. Her voice also rippled with authority, resplendent with all the gravitas she could channel in her husky timbre.
"You are a Jedi. You are responsible for those under your supervision. You have no connection to your family anymore, and what happens among them is neither your responsibility nor your concern."
The last sentence had a distinct aura of finality about it, and it was abundantly clear from every fiber of Teer Ka's being that it was not a matter for debate. As far as she was concerned, she'd just closed the matter.
As such, the Togruta moved on.
"I think returning to the cool water sounds like a good course of action. You are free to join me or to occupy yourself around the village. Remember, this is our last night here. We leave tomorrow at dawn, heading back to Corvala."
Teer turned and started to walk leisurely back to the stream and its cool pools of crystal water, one red-skinned hand tracing the hilt of her saberstaff. While it occurred to her, she reached down and promptly adjusted it back to a lethal setting.
You could never take your safety for granted on Shili.

Cassy felt at ease hearing the familiar words of a sage Jedi. She was distraught; this much was true. But there was a comfort in consistency that simply couldn't be found anywhere else. The consistency of those who'd been loyal to the Force; it was astonishing at times. Cassy always felt this way when she was conversing or receiving council from a Master.
The dark and almost visibly distraught look vanished from her face the more she listened.
Cassy responded well to being reprimanded. Her features drifted back into the calm; careless; yet attentive face she normally carried, her emotional state seemingly fixed by the theoretical hammering of Master Teer Ka.
"Yes Master....forgive me." she bowed deeply once; standing with silence, pursing her lips as if she was ashamed for a moment; deciding not too make eye contact with Master Ka as she opted too follow behind the Togruta silently. As she noticed Master Ka click her saber; Cassy did so too, with a slight flick as they walked, making sure too have her instrument tuned to kill if it was necessary. Another wise move by Master Ka.
Although she was safe here; safer than most would be as she was accompanied by the legendary Watchmen. She still; put bits and pieces of Master Teer Ka within her own memory. Actions to call upon such as a simple saber setting change in times where she needed strategy such as this; alert and cautious, yet relaxed. Cassy mulled to herself on the inside; chastising herself for revealing so much inner turmoil. For having it in the first place.

Teer forgave the younger Jedi, though as she said, it 'wasn't necessary' to apologize. Sometimes young people needed to hear things that were wholly unnecessary. Soothing words were valuable, and Teer did admit she had a tendency to be harsh at times.
She was a hard woman. Strong, severe. The Togruta Jedi was not a soft type overflowing with love and compassion. What drove her was duty and loyalty, and as a result she had a tendency to be clannish. Her leadership style was also heavily honed by combat and hardship, physical discomfort included.
Master Ka carried scars, both on her body and on her mind. Or soul if you wanted to say that was the case. Her compassion didn't flow quite so easily, though admittedly it was easier on Shili than in other locales. She was more at ease here, more comfortable.
Still though, she was a hard woman, far from the stereotypical Jedi ideal. That wasn't something that bothered her. The Jedi needed people of all kinds to aid in their service. Teer was just a part of diversity.
The Togruta made her way steadily back to the stream, where she disrobed once more and lowered herself into a wide pool, that was up her navel. Once in, she leaned back and floated, her red skin contrasting with the water, her bare feet folded over each other.
She was the very picture of relaxation, with eyes closed and arms extended out to her sides. Once more all her scars were visible, but it didn't quite detract from the figure. Teer was in marvelous shape, with smooth and supple skin, excellent curves, and the distinct appearance of muscle.
Dark eyes closed, and Teer was content to float in peace.

Cassy was lost in her thoughts; mumbling to herself in Huttese about how she shouldn't be plagued with these thoughts. Eventually she mentally chastised herself back into a good mood through some mild mental humor, a technique she employed often.
Her feet reached the edge of the water as she looked up from her almost trance like walk; the front of her boots touched the edge of the waters, getting the fronts of them wet. With a turn of her head she watched Master Ka strip.
Her eyebrows raised in curiosity but nothing more. Her curves were nice; very nice. She watched her enter the waters gracefully, and then even more so in the same fashion go into a back float. It looked....very, very relaxing.
Cassy looked down at herself; her C cups, small waist and large bottom enough to make any man quiver even with the dirt and grime all over her wife beater, skin, and even some spots of her cheek. She looked up from herself, with a slightly frustrated look. Blushing profusely as she stared at Master Ka...

Teer opened her eyes and took a deep and relaxed breath, savoring the luxurious feeling of cool water surrounding her on a hot day. She lazily drew her muscled arms through the water, and she made eye contact with Cassy, standing on the shore. Instantly she was aware of something.
The Knight was blushing. That peculiar tint in a human's cheeks usually indicated embarrassment of some kind, and the Togruta woman didn't see anything to be embarrassed over. She was naked, and what was so odd about that? Modesty had little value, and they were of the same gender anyway.
Unless...
Teer narrowed one eye as a possibility occurred to her. There were some in various species who were attracted to their own gender, and humans were among them. It was perfectly possible that maybe Master Ka's nudity was somehow intriguing or attractive, which to the Jedi was a rather surreal thought. She was 58, and the prime of her beauty was about thirty years previously. But still, stranger things had happened.
And maybe she was jumping to conclusions.
Teer floated a little closer to the shore and maintained eye contact as she broached the topic, her senses reaching out to determine the truth behind the mystery of the blushing.
"What is the matter child? Are you embarrassed? A naked body is nothing to feel embarrassment over."

Cassy watched Master Ka carefully for awhile, her features still blushing uncontrollably. For awhile she watched here there, looking down at her self a few times as if she was contemplating something.
In the next moment, she felt Master Ka's eyes on her. She looked up from her own body and attempted to maintain eye contact with her but ended up looking away as the Togruta moved through the water at a glide until she was at it's edge.
When Master Ka spoke to her, Cassy turned her head and pursed her lips in a facial expression that said 'oh hi there...', as if she was innocent of blushing and fidgeting in the first place. As Master Ka spoke, she remained in silence for but a moment before responding.
"N---no. It's just-----I've always wanted to be..." Cassy's words trailed off as she wondered if she should continue saying what she was about to say. But with a sigh, she relented. "I've always stared at myself naked, raised my hair up..posed....wondered if the spectacle that was me was to go unnoticed forever within the ranks of the Jedi Order....vanity....ego..." she stared down at herself for another moment. "Beautiful...I've been called it many times...but it seems I never get to appreciate my own beauty. For those are not things for a Jedi to waste their thoughts upon....you're rather freely showing yourself....and you are beautiful....I would like to join you."
Cassy gave a pleading look as she bit her lip; basically asking for permission to to get down like Master Ka without the Order hearing about it in the future.

If Teer had an eyebrow to raise, she would have raised it. The girl was actually asking her permission for something as simple as taking her clothes off and swimming? Was she really that repressed?
Admittedly by most standards she was beautiful, that was even something Teer could recognize, but why did she feel the need to hide it even from an audience who didn't care? Apparently they were both beautiful women. They had something in common then.
The severe Togruta woman had to admit this was the first time she had been referred to as beautiful in a long time. She could understand the term striking, as she had a severe face that left an impression, but when she was naked and a dozen scars appeared on her body, she wasn't sure the term beautiful could apply any more. Her line of work had taken a heavy toll on her before she'd gotten out.
Still, she would accept the compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment child," Teer said politely, letting her legs sink down to rest on the soft bottom. "You are quite beautiful as well, and there is no shame in that."
Now came the challenge of finding exactly the right words to teach the lesson she intended. The Togruta woman was going to impart the sensibilities of her people that she had so readily adopted.
"Your body is nothing to hide or fret over. You cannot control what others will think, nor should you try. Just understand that your body is natural. You should not be ashamed to show it on occasion. Here on Shili, no one will mind if you swim naked. I certainly do not mind. You need to learn to cast off your shame and your inhibitions and accept what the Force has gifted you with. It is no curse, it is a blessing. Savor it."
The Togruta woman floated back into the deeper end of the pool and called out to Cassy in as happy a tone as she ever used, which still felt a little subdued.
"Now, come join me."

Cassy let the words of Master Ka sooth her as she stood on the edge of the pool, her wife beater and khaki's still hugging her frame. She listened calmly for awhile, letting the words mull over her. It was no curse...but a blessing? She let the words continue to sink in as Master Ka floated backward into the pool and called out to her.
For awhile, Cassy remained still, her emerald eyes followed Master Ka as she sifted through the waters, the rippling trails of water following behind her body through it.
Slowly, but surely, Cassy reached to her sides and gripped the bottom of her wife beater. Pushing her 'assets' together nicely as she did so by proxy. She stayed in that position for awhile and then with a heavy sigh, purging herself of all doubt she lifted. Her white tank top came off to reveal a teal blue laced bra.
She clasped her hands around the edges of her belt and khaki pants, she slowly began to shimmy down, revealing matching teal laced panties. Before she stood back from leaning forward, she unlaced her boots and stepped out of them with her pants and tip toed away from her clothes.
Her backside and front bouncing with her as she stopped short of the water, staring into her reflection as she seemed to be gandering around nervously. 'What if someone came?' she asked herself...was it truly OK for a Jedi to be as revealing as she and Master Ka were now? She didn't know...but she did know it felt good. Her brown locks and emerald eyes glistened back at her with a smile on her expression as she looked herself over. Yes, it did feel good to be so free. Without hesitation she unclipped the back of her bra and slid her panties off with her fingers and tossed them both over towards her clothes.
Now naked...she tiptoed back over to the water, and raised her arms above her head in full dive form. With a snake like leap and splash, she entered the water. Her legs and body dolphin kicked around underneath the water, her visage easy to make out even from the surface. She continued her dolphin kicks until she propelled herself to the surface with a breaking splash.
She pushed the hair matted around her face behind her ears, her emerald eyes and soft features on her round face standing out even more now with her hair darker and twisted all around her shoulders and back.
She dipped slightly down into the water and floated with small kicks towards Master Ka's position. When she was near her, for awhile she stared with a sort of goofy smile. Which turned into a content expression. She closed her eyes briefly while she spoke.
"Thank you for this experience as a whole Master Ka......." the sunlight sparkled off the waters they were in as Cassy opened her eyes again, sifting through the water at a calm float. For a moment she wondered what the Masters back at the Order would think of this.....for a moment, as the clicking of Shili's wildlife and the sunlit waters soon carried her into a trance like feeling of relaxation.
