Meeting of the Reds [Neilo, Dani]

[jiljooani]

As the shuttle set down on the planet Coruscant, Dani Blue, the Zeltron Padawan stepped out alone. The others she rode with had stopped at the space station. She was told a little about her Master and that she was to meet him at the Jedi Council building. However that was a bit of distance away. With her training saber hidden under her robes, she headed south through the corridors. Her lust red skin, passion blue hair, and chocolate robes definitly made her the sore thumb in the walkways. Being only about twelve, maybe thirteen, she was well under the average head height of the others, allowing her to be lost in the crowd in that respect.

Dani wasn't sure of her real name, or how old she really was. She just knew that the records the council had on her used the day she was found by the Jedi Master as her birthday and the name of one of the fighters in the hanger as her name. Since then she had been training and training everyday to learn the path of the force. Despite not knowing the location of the building she needed, she knew enough that it was the largest gathering of the force in the area. so she went as directly as she could to what she felt.

However she did not realize yet that she was headed in the wrong way. For her the presence of emotions and the presence of the force was one in the same. The walls and floor got a little worse the further she walked. But she felt such positive energies. The was a second large collection of force in the other direction but this had to be the right one. She could always follow the path of the largest force to find her enclave. The people around definitly didn't seem like Jedi though.

As she stopped to look and try to feel the right direction, a male human about 27 came up and put his arm around her. "Hey cutie. You seem a little young to be around here. But that just means you are here to learn. How about letting me teach you." The man's breath reeked of alcohol. And the sensation pouring off him was a rather cold feeling, not like the feeling of the force. now she knew she went the wrong way.

Placing her hand on his wrist she lifted his arm from her shoulders an turned to face him. "I'm sorry sir. I am just a little lost. I'm looking for the..." Her words were cut off when two of his friends came around her.

The three men were grinning. Their emotions were definitly reaching her. Her hands coming in front of her clenching each other and her shoulders moving forward and inward in a defensive posture like she was trying to shield herself. She was trying to make sure the emotions from them weren't going to over take her calm mind "Little lost girl in the bad part of the city? Flag." As one of his buddies grabbed her shoulder she looked up to him with a look of sadness. A pang of guilt struck in him and he let go. "So where are you trying to get to?" His hand moving up to the back of his head scratching it as he guided her away from the other two back to the way out.

Dani just smiled to the now gentleman. "The Jedi council. I'm supposed to be meeting my master today." The now kind one pointed to the large building and waved bye to her as his two friends ran off when they heard the word Jedi. With a smile, dani went back in the right direction and gave a small wave to the man.

Ano'Sken Neilo, blind Togruta Jedi Knight had been asked by the council back to Coruscant by the council to retreive a package. She had thought it weird at first, that she would be asked as a courier when there were dedicated couriers in the Order, but since it was a request from the council, meaning an order by the council, she had to obey.

Upon landing the touchy ship that had become her home, she hadn't been dirrected to the package pickup area of the temple, nor had she been dirrected to the messenger dispatch. She had been dirrected to the front lobby of the temple, and there she sat discussing various things she had seen with another Jedi, an older wisened human man by the name of Joshua Gates.

She was talking about how she had been given a ship from the one who had given her the scar as a way to repay the damage from one friend to another, and how it had become a home and more than just a ship. In return, he was telling her about his life as a knight, and how he was as adventurous as she was, though he warned her about padawans, and how they liked to go on adventures too, though why he would be telling her that she did not know.

Either way, he left her with a smile and a few words of encouragement, as she waited in the marble pillared lobby of the Temple, her rented speeder car floating outside docked to the airpad.

After an hour of walking, Dani entered the front lobby of the Jedi Council's building. Her look was definitely one of a lost youngling. She scanned the area with her eyes, trying to take it all in. This was a far cry from the area she was in before. She remebered that once she had gotten to the building, she was to take a seat and await until she was approached. She wasn't told any details of who she was the Padawan of but she figured it was an accomplished knight. One of strong convictions and a noble path. Strong in the force.

Finding an open seat near a female togruta, she removed her outer robe and draped it across her right arm. As she approached she placed her hand on the empty seat. Her tan kimono kept her form hidden for the most part. "Is this seat taken Ma'am?"

After the old man had left, Ano was left alone. People who knew of her knew of her being blind and thought it left her weakened. She thought them fools, but savored the time of quiet to meditate. Her breathing slowed and the only thing that betrayed her being alive was her shoulders and chest moving due to the breathing.

She lost track of time itself as she sunk into herself, and though an hour passed and a youngling of somewhat similar skin coloration to hers arrived, she did not note it, nor did she perceive much until the youngling spoke respectfully to her.

Startled a little bit by the sudden interuption of her meditation, she knew that most people opened their eyes to see their surroundings, and while she wanted to do the same instinctivly, she knew it would be startling for the most part. Still, as she turned her blast scarred face towards the youngling, keeping her eyes closed, she saw a pretty face, young and vibrant.

"No, young one. It is not taken."
