"Perhaps..." Juhani trailed off. "Mabey I'll mediate on that."

And with that, she left for her room.

Why can't I have the bond with my master I sense between Master Darus and Halren? Juhani thought. I'm probably letting her down.

Just like mother...

The boy watched Juhani walk off, and frowned. While he was glad to help, he still felt as though... well... just because he could give the advice didn't mean he could follow it.

...maybe he'd go talk to his Master before going to bed.

Halren finished his meal, and left the room.

The next morning was clear, not a cloud in the sky as the protocol droid from before opened Halren's door. "Good morning young padawan, I hope you slept well." It said, the same greeting it gave every padawan it saw that morning. "Your master is waiting for you to join him in the gardens."

Thankfully, although he hadn't been able to find his master the night before, a restful sleep brought the boy his usual sense of balance in the morning.

Thanking the droid politely, the boy went about his morning rituals, and once presentable, joined his master in the gardens.

"Master?"

**Hrtofdrkns** · August 26th, 2007, 05:09 AM

"Over here Halren." Master Darus called from under a large tree. The enclave's open-air garden was a popular spot for meditation by master and padawan alike, as the many plants helped one focus on the force. "Come sit with me."

**Peeker** · August 26th, 2007, 05:14 AM

The boy joined the Jedi, smiling softly.

"Thank you, Master Darus." He assumed the proper position, and exhaled.

Peace.

**Hrtofdrkns** · August 26th, 2007, 05:22 AM

"We have been given an assignment by the council Halren." Master Darus began. "A clan of Mandalorians, one of the few to survive Revan's wrath, has set up camp near here."

**Peeker** · August 26th, 2007, 05:24 AM

"...we, Master?" The boy's eyes went wide. "...you mean... in the field? ..." The boy inhaled. Exhaled. "Yes... yes, Master. ...when do we leave?"

**Hrtofdrkns** · August 26th, 2007, 05:31 AM

"As soon as we finish our meditations." He said, eyes closed. "We are to use force only if necissary to convince them to leave. They have been harassing the farmers, and several have already died under 'mysterious' circumstances."

Master Darus opened his eyes. "The council has sought a peaceful solution, but their leader isn't interested. He bares a grudge against all jedi for his people's defeat. It seems lethat force may be our only option."

**Peeker** · August 26th, 2007, 05:33 AM

The boy nodded. "...yes, Master."

...and then went quiet. ...he really wanted to be calm for this.
