Teer Ka watched as Cassy stripped off her clothing, even the undergarments she still seemed uneasy with removing. Nevertheless, it call came off and was left in a pile on the dry ground, revealing what was genuinely an impressive body by any set of standards.
The white flesh of Cassy's body was uniform in color, with smooth and healthy-looking skin, in sharp contrast to Teer’s own numerous scars and the white slashes of color across her red skin. Cassy was also considerably curvier, with better female assets. Certainly there was nothing to feel embarrassment over.
Unless of course she felt excessively self-conscious of her body, which was a habit most in the galaxy would do well to break themselves of. Out here in the scrub of Shili, tribal nudity was common-place. Barebreasted women were an ordinary sight in villages, nursing children or just enjoying free air. Yet no one here felt self-conscious or awkward over nudity.
That included Teer Ka.
For her, it was trivial. It was rare for her to see a man naked and feel attraction or desire. Her sex life had been non-existent for thirty years after all, and she’d thoroughly accepted the routine of celibacy that all Jedi followed. She was a loyal Jedi after all, and for her the rules were more than guidelines. They were the very core of her existence.
As she was fond of pointing out to unruly Padawans, it was the Jedi Order, not the Jedi disorder.
Still, she was no prude when it came to nudity.
Cassy came into the water and submerged herself, and Teer chuckled, following the lead and dove underwater herself, feeling the liquid all around her, a surreal experience with her ultrasonic spatial awareness. Her perception was vastly different from human standards.
The Togruta woman surfaced again, blinking the water away from her eyes and not even trying to suppress the small smile that appeared on her face. When she did smile, which was not often, it was usually sedate, a subdued and mild expression that did not reveal pearly teeth. However, minute or not, it was still tangible.
And it was a dramatic improvement from Teer Ka in 3602 BBY. Then she’d been constantly pacing like a caged animal, ready to snarl. Tense, wary, fatigued from lack of sleep, irritable from lack of meditation. Yes, she’d been strong and ready to fight and prevail, but she’d lacked peace and calm.
Master Ka had found both of those things on her home planet. Now she was calmer and more collected than she’d ever been before in the whole of her life, truly at peace. While still the knowledge of distant war and destruction bothered her intellectually, it was no longer gnawing at the ages of her mind. There was a great deal of liberation in having her own set of skills and responsibilities not pertaining to fighting.
Cassy thanked Teer, and the Togruta woman made a soft sound of acknowledgment. Had they both been dry and not submerged in water, she would have waved her hand dismissively. After all, she hadn’t particularly done a huge service. All Teer had done was take the Knight along with her on her normal duties.
“I hope you found it helpful Knight Novos,” Teer said calmly, her red-skinned hands interlaced in-between her neck and her third headtail.
