Peace Sells(Open)

[Catatafish]

"Master Beleren, your lesson was inspiring. Allow me to express my gratitude for letting me attend."

Balek slowly stood up, bowed down respectfully to the seasoned master, and then turned to the younglings. One in particular, Tem Farelle.

"And to you younglings. As master Beleren pointed out, the force does not hold in store a life in the service corps for you. Having said that, Tem, please excuse yourself from master Beleren's class, and join me outside. That is, if it is alright with you, master."

After facing master Beleren, and smiling impishly at him, Balek started walking slowly towards the door, stopping right before stepping out, just before he looked back at Tem.

"So? Will you be joining me Tem?"

[Charlie Sharper]

The sun reflected off of his goggles as Tem looked up at the Caamasi Consular with an awestruck glance. "Me?" he questioned for a moment, then with a bit more confidence "Um, yes Master Ak'qli". Tem stood and bowed to him, then looking at Master Beleren "May I be excused Master?" he asked with the required reverence and a hint of excitement.

He then waited for the Council members Response, though he felt bad about leaving Talarian alone with Master Beleren. A slight tinge of guilt welled up inside him but he suddenly felt the force flowing between Talarian and Jace, and he smiled knowing that she would be okay, something was about to happen and Tem could see with the force it was good whatever it was.

[Jace]

Jace returned the bow to Balek and nodded to Tem, giving him a comforting smile.

"of course Tem, and good day to you Balek, do not be a stranger and stop by sometime. Same thing goes for you Tem" He added

Once they had left the room, it was just Jace and Talarian, he could feel her anxiousness and disappointment. Jace paced the room, making a show of as if he were in some deep thought.

"So Talarian, the lesson is over and the rest of the younglings seem to have found masters. None of those who have just left the room can really comprehend what you have gone through with the loss of their master. Sadly, atleast one of them will eventually know what the feels like someday.

I think as your former master was a council member, that it would only be fitting for your new master to also be a council member. So Talarian, would you like to become my new padawan learner?"

Jace had been waiting quite awhile to ask the young girl, but he didn't get much chance. Now that the lesson was finally over, he had found his chance to ask her. He had felt a strange surge in the force when she reported to the council.

[.:Falcon:.]

Talarian watched Tem go, feeling defeated and disappointed. She stood up slowly, ready to ask dismissal, when Master Beleren began to speak. She listened patiently, despite the tingling joyfullness she felt coming up from her toes. She opened her mouth to speak, and found her mouth queerly dry.

Clearing her throat, she said- "Master Beleren, I would be honored." she smiled. "Thank you." she paused, her hand instinctively going to the lightsaber at her belt. Feeling the one from the dark Jedi, she pulled it off her belt and held it out. "What should I do with this? I got it from thedark Jedi apprentice, but forgot to ask about it in the council."

[Jace]

Jace accepted the lightsaber of the Dark Jedi, and studied it carefully, and then suddenly tossed it to the other side of the room. He turned to Talarian and smiled.

"Toss the thought of it, and all events of it out of your mind, just as I tossed it just now"

He then turned and started walking towards the door and then removed his hand from the sleeve of his robe and the thrown saber zoomed into his hand.

"I don't think we should leave this around for some youngling pick up. Talarian, I must attend to some Council duties, but I shall call on you soon. You did a good job in the lesson today, I know it was hard, but you persevered."

He tucked the other lightsaber in his belt, with his arms in his sleeves he walked out of the room and towards the Council Chamber.

Much had gone on, and it was critical for the Council to deliberate on these happenings.

[.:Falcon:.]

Talarian nodded to her new Master, then watched him go. As soon as the doors shut behind him, she bounced up on her toes, and felt a wide grin creasing her face. She had a Master again! She sighed happily, then demurely walked out of the gym. She would go to her room and think. Maybe that would pass the time until Master Beleren called her. She couldn't stop another smile as she left the room.
