Home at the Temple [Open]

[Res]

It had been a long couple months for the young Padawan. He had risked his life numerous times and had come out virtually unharmed. He had faced an Akul on Shili, survived on Kashyyyk at night and also made it through a fight with a vicious enemy. Not to mention meeting the odd but also brilliant Detective Aldric Cibre. The young Togruta had to admit that Aldric was a genius when it came to solving cases.

Resaat Taa thought about all of this as he sat in one of the many gardens in the Temple. It was nice to be back and taking a break from his studies. Resaat wasn't one to want to take a break, but be had been away from the Temple from several months and wanted to relax. Taking in the fresh air that came in from the windows, and the smell of the freshly bloomed flowers. He began to think of his master, Mal Konti, the Hutt was one unusual person. If that was the right term to use for a slug. Though Resaat had learned a great deal from the Healer. His Force abilities had increased sense he had be chosen to become the Counselors Padawan.

Looked up and back into the hall that the garden was off of. He watched as many older Jedi walked passed. Some he recognized and some he didn't. One that caught his attention was a purple Twi'lek in black robes and one glove. Though Resaat wanted to see why the older Jedi had only one glove it was obvious he was in a hurry.

Scooting back on the bench he lifted his feet up and crossed his legs. Closing his eyes he started to clear his mind. Sitting there the Padawan started to meditate and focus on his telekensis that Master Konti had showed him.

[Shadow]

Onna was walking towards the gardens to meditate. It had been a long time since she had been in the gardens. She really need the fresh air that came from the window. Plus the peaceful and relaxing setting made the stress fall right of. Onna turned the corner and saw a young padawan about her age sitting on the bench. He look like he had been through some ruff Times as of late.

Onna examined him from a distance so that he couldn't quiet see that she was looking at him. Though it he was reaching out with the force then he would most likely feel her looking at him.

The was something in the force that was telling her to go talk to him. She thought it wouldn't be so bad since the only person she had talked as of late was her master Dan so at the very least. She could talk to someone different.

Onna walked towards him.

How's it going? My name is Onna Jarsin. Hope I' m not interrupting anything.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

The red skinned Togruta boy sat cross legged on a bench. A bench that was normally quiet, this was mostly because few people traveled to this part of the garden, it was behind a rather large tree and up a seldom traveled trail. It was so rarely traveled in fact that sometimes it was difficult to see the trail. Gharassk however had found it while he was spending months at a time in the garden. Back when i was confined to the temple, he thought. Another thing that made the little bench harder to find was that it was cooped up against the wall of the temple. Gharassk still loved it due to it's quietness.

Gharassk could hear another Padawan speaking only barely. He opened his eyes and looked around, it wasn't to him, but regardless it was close. Gharassk stood and grabbed his saber and outer robes. He walked out from behind the wide tree slowly, then followed the path up to the main walkway where he then saw two slightly younger possibly padawans, one was Togruta like him, the other was a human.

Gharassk didn't know if making himself known was a wise choice, but he decided to move closer to the two, it looked like the Togruta had been meditating, but it was hard to tell because Gharassk was coming up behind him, and off to the girl's left.

[Shadow]

How's it going? My name is Onna Jarsin. Hope I' m not interrupting anything.

As Onna said these words she could senses someone else walking toward them. Onna could feel them walking through the fresh air of the gardens. She could also feel the air moving through her. This is why she liked the gardens. They were so peaceful. Then she looked up and saw another Togruta walking towards the two of them. He looked older then Onna and the other padawan. He also looked like he had been through some ruff times. She thought about what missions he had been on and and what had happened.

She realized she had been staring again. So she looked away and looked back at the padawan that was sitting on the bench and smiled and waited for a response. Then she looked back up and smiled back at the other Togruta. She wondered what he had been doing there. She wondered what his name was. It was at this point that he had gotten to were Onna and the other young Togruta had been.

[Res]

The Padawan an felt another presents near him. Then he heard a voice, a soft voice that sounded female and about his age. Opening one eye he looked at her and wondered what she wanted. It was not unusual for anyone to approach Resaat, but most people left someone alone when they were meditating. Opening his other eye as the Human stated her name. Standing up, his robes fell around him as he looked at the girl.

"My name is Resaat Taa, no worry about the interruption. I was just relaxing, also waiting for my Master."

After a few moments Resaat felt another presence coming from behind him. Though his sense wasn't very attuned he couldn't make out one or what it was. Though he was aware that something was behind him. He could rule out any kind of wild animal since there was none or very few on Coruscant. Turning around when he noticed Onnas eyes shift toward the other person.

As Taa turned he saw another Togruta slightly older than him. Though from the weary look and scars on his face he had seen some hard times. Nodding to the new comer then turning back to the female Padawan. A small smile formed in the corner of the Togrutas mouth thinking Finally, people my own age to take to. He then turned his head back to the older Padawan and spoke.

"Who might you be? If you didn't hear my name is Resaat Taa."

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

It looked like the girl who's name was apparently Onna spotted Gharassk first, the other Togruta spoke to her for a moment before noticing Gharassk. "My name is Resaat Taa, no worry about the interruption. I was just relaxing, also waiting for my Master." It was after those words that Resaat turned to look toward Gharassk, "Who might you be? If you didn't hear my name is Resaat Taa."

Gharassk Smiled as he moved around a small bush that only came up to his knees. Hello there, to the both of you! My name's Gharassk Ran. He said before walking off of the barely used trail finally, then across the main walkway that the two others where on stopping at a bench only a few feet from where Resaat was.

Gharassk looked past Resaat's shoulder, a smile crept to his face as he saw the small flower that he and the other Padawan Vance had healed together. The plant was still strong, and Gharassk thought it looked a lot taller then when the two had first healed it. Gharassk returned his attention to the Padawans in the present, How are you two fairing this night?

[Shadow]

Onna smiled at Gharassk as he interdused himself. The gardens seemed to have all three. Of them in a good mood. The temperature was perfect and seemed to just lighten the mood. Onna was glad to be talking to someone closer to her age.

I'm doing just fine. I hope you two are the same.

Onna thought about the short time she had been a padawan. She hadn't talked to hardly anyone her age. There had been many times she had wanted a firend . Someone she could share her lessons with other then her master. Onna liked her master but she needed someone else to talk to because she had no one else.

Onna was hoping that if not have just one conversation with someone her age but to become freinds. Even when she was a youngling Onna never really had any friends so sh was really hoping that these two would stick around.

So what bring you two to the gardens tonight?

[Res]

"Im doing quite well thank you."

Res replied to the Human Padawan as he started to play with the hem of his tunic. He had gotten into the nervous gesture when when he was younger. It was apparent by his repaired robes that he does it a lot. Taa adjusted his body so he could see both Padawans at the same time. It was nice to talk to other Padawans. He would have to use their titles before addressing them. It felt like all he had been dealing with were Knights and Masters for the several months.

"I came here to relax and with for my Master, Mal Konti. He has given me some free time for once."

The Togruta Padawan stated releasing his tunic and crossing his arms over his chest. Though after a few moments he got warm and decided to remove his cloak. Removing his cloak reviled his saber on his side. He had just finished it just a couple weeks prior and very excited about having one so early in his apprenticeship. Most didn't get one until they were halfway through. Think for a moment the Togruta pipped up again and asked a question to both Padawans.

"Do you guys have Master? If so, who?"

It was interesting to Resaat who people were getting trained by. He didn't know many Knights or Masters but he may recognize a name if they say it. He was proud to be trained by the Hutt Jedi. He had learned a great deal from him in such a short amount of time.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

I'm doing just fine. I hope you two are the same. Onna answered first followed by Resaat, "Im doing quite well thank you." Gharassk smiled, Well that's good. The quick exchange of words worked to get the trio to feel more at home with each other Gharassk thought.

Onna asked the next question, So what bring you two to the gardens tonight? Resaat spoke first with his reply, "I came here to relax and with for my Master, Mal Konti. He has given me some free time for once." Mal Konti, Gharassk thought, That was the Hutt who had saved Gharassk's life, Gharassk thought he'd have to bring that subject up after he answered, which it was his turn to do anyway. Meditating and working on my next saber. Gharassk said, then before he was about to say something about Mal Konti, Resaat spoke up again, "Do you guys have Master? If so, who?" Gharassk decided not to be rude, and was also the first to get to answer the question. Yes, his Name is Master Tov'Anas, almost forgot the "master" again. Gharassk didn't actually mean to say the second half out loud but it came out.

After Onna gave her own answer, Gharassk decided to bring up Mal Konti finally. You said Mal Konti, he doesn't know this but he taught me to do that! Gharassk pointed to the vary flower that he had healed, Gharassk smiled, That flower, it was dead before me and another Padawan had a crack at it, and Mal taught me how to do it. I also owe that Hutt my life, he saved me from loosing my in sides. Gharassk managed to smile even though he remembered the pain. Gharassk thought it was funny how no matter how many people he knew, they always seemed to randomly reappear at just the right time.

[Shadow]

Onna listened to the two answers to her question. She was about to ask who there master were because she had never seen these two padawans before but Resaat bet her two it. Gharassk answered first Yes, his Name is Master Tov'Anas, almost forgot the "master" again. Onna found it a bit odd that he add the last part. She had rarely addressed her master by master but that could be because they hadn't know each other for vary long. Then Onna chimed in My master's name is Dan Firestar. I've only been a padawan for a short while now.

Onna then listened to Gharassk about how he knew Resaat's master.You said Mal Konti, he doesn't know this but he taught me to do that! She thought about how remarkable that was that he had met him. Out of all the Jedi he had met Resaat's master.That flower, it was dead before me and another Padawan had a crack at it, and Mal taught me how to do it. I also owe that Hutt my life, he saved me from loosing my in sides Not only did he meet him Resaat's master but he had learn something from him. Onna wished that she could have met him so she could have a part in this conversation but she knew she had to wait her turn so she waited for Resaat to respond while looked at the flower that Gharassk and another padawan had saved.

[Res]

The Togruta Padawan listen to the two other Padawans speak before answering Gharassk. It was interesting to find someone the knew his Master. Though Mal Konti had been at the Temple for a long time. He was also one of the predominate Healers in the Order. So when Gharassk said he was the one that healed him it was no surprise. Then the Togruta pointed out that he and another Padawan healed a flower. Looking at it, it was growing strong and blooming. It was fascinating that a Padawan of Gharassks age could do that.

"That's fascinating Gharassk. Master Tova'nas must be very proud of you."

Then after speaking he turned to the human Padawan and listen to her. She said her Master was a Jedi Knight named Dan Firestar. It was a relief that he wasn't the only one that had a Knight as a Master. Though he knew that Gharassk would get the better training since he has a Master to teach him.

"Yes, I too have only been with Master Konti for a short time. I have just completed my first lightsaber."

When he said that he touched it having the two other Padawans focus on it. He was very proud that he, at such a young age got to construct his saber. He was also wanting to learn how to use it. He had yet to have the opportunity to use it other then training.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

"Yes, I too have only been with Master Konti for a short time. I have just completed my first lightsaber." Resaat brought his attention to the light saber on his belt. Gharassk looked at it, it was always interesting to see a new lightsaber, even when they weren't elegantly designed, or even designed at all, something about a new saber was still interesting.

Gharassk was currently working on his own second saber, just moments before now he had been meditating with his crystal. Gharassk thought it would be worth sharing his own saber, he pulled the silver and grey hilt off his belt, he had recently added the white cloth to it, and a metallic ring hook instead of the traditional clips. It wasn't probably the best lightsaber around, not the most well balanced, not the strongest, or the nicest design, but it was his. Gharassk Held it out then let it float in the air where the others could both see it. This ones mine, it's seen quite a bit of action, more then some master's sabers have. I'm working on my second now too. Gharassk pulled the second crystal out of a pouch on his belt, he had already done about a weeks worth of meditating on it, and it was becoming his, he could feel it's connection to himself.

It was a surprisingly warm night, at the moment crickets where just becoming heard in the garden, Gharassk liked to listen to crickets and watch the fireflies. But with the good there was also a bad, mosquitoes, those where a insect Gharassk could personally live a very long happy life without. Fortunately there wasn't any of those popping up yet.

[Shadow]

Onna looked at there lightsabers she felt a little left out. She didn't have hers yet she had started to research it. She was hoping that she could find a crystal soon but for now she didn't have anything. Though she did have a plan for when she did finally get a crystal. All Onna could do right now was look at there lightsabers and admire that they had one. Onna did have a feeling that she would have one soon and again all she could do is wait.

Onna listened to the crickets as they started up they really made you feel peaceful like the rest of the garden. She looked at the padawans. They both looked like they had been through some ruff times but her she might of had a little bit of a ruff time before she wen to the temple, but since her life had been real just boring. She had really just a dull life at the temple and hadn't really been on any missions. The more she thought about it the more she realized she had little in common with the two padawans but she tried to find something in common with the to. So what is your teaching like?

[Res]

Resaat observed Gharassk take his saber off his belt and hover it. It wasn't an elaborate looking weapon but it was unique. As was most sabers, though a lot the time a saber looked similar to ones masters. Either is was the color of the crystal, an ornament or some other piece.

The Togruta caught the look of Onna out of the corner of his eye as the older Togruta took his green crystal out. It was apparent that the girl was feeling left out. He waved Ran off from displaying his crystal. Turning toward Jarsin, Taa gave her a reassuring smile. Then she asked a question about the train the two boys were receiving.

Res' train was mostly comprised of hours of force building. Though ever now and then there were saber training. But due to the short reach of Mals arms he wasn't as skilled in combat as he was in the way of the Force.

"Most of my train is focused on the Force. I get little saber training and the little I get is watching holocrons of my masters master. Though I feel myself getting stronger and strong in the force everyday. I hope to be an Investigator when I am Knighted."

The Padawan said with pride in his voice. His mind was made up when he partnered with Aldric to catch the 'Hound'. The searching for clues and questioning people interested Resaat to the point that he wanted to join that class of Jedi.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

(thought this would be good music for the thread in general www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcZ9kQ1h-ZY)

Gharassk noticed Onna looked like she was feeling a little left out, Gharassk thought it was due to the sabers sense it was the only thing that she wasn't chiming in on. So he belted his saber and set the crystal back in it's pouch. She then asked a question to try and get herself into the conversation again likely.

So what is your teaching like? Resaat got to the answer first while Gharassk was thinking up an answer. "Most of my train is focused on the Force. I get little saber training and the little I get is watching holocrons of my masters master. Though I feel myself getting stronger and strong in the force everyday. I hope to be an Investigator when I am Knighted." While he was listening he was also thinking on a response, by the time Resaat was done, Gharassk had thought about what he would say. In truth, it had been an interesting past year for Gharassk. The beginning of it saw his former master's fall to the dark side, then Gharassk basically under going self training until he could find a master that suited him, during this time his former master had resurfaced and Gharassk confronted him, against the council's knowledge and wishes to boot. That's when Mal saved Gharassk, and about three months after that, Tov came along and took him in as a Padawan again. Then Gharassk couldn't forget the duel with the Dark lord that they had to deal with. Gharassk had to remind himself to come out of his daze and answer the question.

My training has gone well, saber and force at a balance. MY training just got started back up recently though, my master and i both sustained pretty bad injuries we had to heal up from before we could continue up on our training. Gharassk said, he had actually forgotten all about his personal injuries, they weren't as bad as Tov's lost hand. He also knew he likely didn't need to point his own out, it was only a scar that hadn't done any harm to the skull or brain, but it was a rather big scar. Gharassk didn't even want to mention the one that was through his chest, so he didn't continue further.

[Shadow]

Onna listen to both of there answers. They both were really interested. This really made Onna feel better about how the conversation was going because it made her feel part of it and forget that she was the only one with out a lightsaber. The answers also made her think about her training that she felt like had been going really well. It had only really been a couple of weeks but she had already learn a lot. She had learned how to stay concentrated during a lightsaber duel. Onna knew that Dan was really the perfect master for her. She thought that she should start telling him more about her past before she came to the temple.


Onna mind went back to the conversation. She thought about what she could ask them next. She could ask them what missions they had been on but that would again exclude her from the conversation so she decided not to ask that. Then she thought that she could ask about how long they had been a padawan for but she didn't ask that question because she knew about how long it had been anyways. Then she thought about how she could get all of them involved with the conversation.

What do you guys think that you will become a Consular, Guardian, or a Sentinel?

Onna thought that she already knew the answer to the question but she asked it anyways.

[Res]

"I am looking to go the path of Sentinel. That's the path of an Investigator. "

The orange skinned Togruta said looking back and forth at his companions. It was nice talking to people his own age. He relaxed more and more as the conversation grew. Resaat was enjoying himself and knew the moment Mal got there he would have to return to training.

The air of the night was cool and crisp. He was getting a little chilly, he hadn't been back on Coruscant long so he wasn't used to the cool nights. Reaching out he floated his cloak to him and put it on. Tucking his front headtails underneath his rob. He was a little self conscious of how short they were. Folding his arms he turned his gaze to Gharassk. His eyes went directly to the scar on the older Togrutas head. Blinking he focused and looked away.

"So what path are you guys what to follow?"

Asking the question was just expanding what Onna asked. He was just not wanting to return to training at the moment. It had been the longest couple months of his life. On the first trip off world he didn't think he was going to make it. Luckily Master Ka and Knight Novos was there. He could still hear that Akul snarling and its footsteps chasing after him. Taa never wanted to run into one ever again. Though he would like to visit Shili once again and see one of the cities.

[Shadow]

"So what path are you guys what to follow?"

Onna thought about what she had just told Dan a few days ago. She knew she had thought about it long and hard. Before Dan had become her master she had always thought that she would become a Guardian but she thought more and more about it after Dan around the more she started to change her own mind.

I semi started to be trained in the ways of a Sentinel... My master is a Sentinel and after being with him for a little while now I have started to think I want to be one to. I think it fits me the best.

With that Onna turned her focus to Gharassk it was his turn to answer the question and she was interested to see what his answer was. She was wondering if he had a different plain then them or if he was aiming towards a different path. Onna thought about if he was going in a different direction then he could help them both with there train in different areas and them with him. Even though he was older then them Onna believed that everyone can learn something form someone.

In the few seconds while Onna was waiting she realized she had forgotten her cloak back at her room and she could tell that it was starting to get cold. Even though she had left Coruscant and was used to the weather it would still be chilly with out a cloak. So Onna just stood there and tried not to look to cold.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

Onna asked a question, What do you guys think that you will become a Consular, Guardian, or a Sentinel? Resaat answered first Gharassk listened, "I am looking to go the path of Sentinel. That's the path of an Investigator." Then he asked a question that pulled both of them in for their answers, "So what path are you guys what to follow?" When Resaat finished Onna answered first, I semi started to be trained in the ways of a Sentinel... My master is a Sentinel and after being with him for a little while now I have started to think I want to be one to. I think it fits me the best

They both had good ideas and where on the right path of following the one that seemed to best suit themselves. Gharassk thought about the three classes again trying to remember which was which, he then answered. I was thinking Consular or Guardian, though i'll probably lean toward Consular, I've always been the type to be able help others with more then just phisical problems. Gharassk said folding his arms and leaning further back into the bench. The temperature was dropping around this time of night, Gharassk's bare feet where telling him that.

[Shadow]

Onna listened to wath Garassk had to say. She thought that the path he was following would fit him really well. Onna could feel that he would make a great Consular.

Onna then started to think if they would ever speak again after this night. So what wanted it to hurry up and end so she could go get her cloak made her want it to never end. She wondered about what the two would be doing in the next few weeks. For all she knew either one of them could be on a mission or she could be on a mission. None of them really knew what they would be doing in the next week so Onna just sat there and treasured the moment with the to padawans for she didn't know when the next time would be she could take to someone her age and she was warming up to both of them.

Onna then thought she should further the conversation.
Do you guys know if you will be going off planet any time soon? Not only did Onna want to know I think they all wanted to know if they were going to be leaving just as they were becoming friends.
