I've had real life get in the way of my time on here a few times in the past but I'm interested in getting back into the swing of things here. Good to see you return. Maybe we can catch up again in-uni sometime. Pretty sure we had something lined up at one point (or maybe it was with Zion...) Sounds like fun. I'm down for catching up, sure.

Asani nods to Amber as she makes her way into the room to check it out. She is immediately a little surprised that they have a room available which is set up for someone of her small stature. She happily looks up at Amber, feeling that there would be few, if any, adjustments she would want to make.
"This will be perfect, thank you! Just one question though. Where would I go for something to eat here?"

She blinks a bit as Moiur waves her away and states that there should be a speeder waiting for her outside. Had he set this all in motion before they even met, or as they entered the room after their brief chat at the bar. Either way, it looked like she was expected to take out a gang headquarters all on her own, and she'd be lying if she had said she wasn't nervous about it, her fur shifting deeper orange making that clear anyway. She follows Lucius outside, turning to look at him as he speaks to her. "Well, I guess I don't have much of a choice. Either I do this, die trying, or if I don't do it I'll be dead sooner or later anyway... I'll give it my best."

Asani nods to Gunther as the color of her fur deepens it's yellow hue. Then turns to Zion as he gives a tentative approval to their pairing.
"Thank you, and don't worry about me, I don't need much space for a room as long as I can always get out and stretch my legs around the temple."
She then turns back to Gunther as he speaks to her as Amber is about to lead her out of the room.
"Take care of anything you need to. I will be ready and waiting in my room."
Finally she turns back to Amber and follows her out of the Master's Quarters, heading off to see where she would be staying during her time here on Honoghr.

Asani follows Tom into the room and takes just a moment to glance around at all the lights and monitors before trying to block them from her mind and focus on the task of her training. She follows Tom's lead and takes hold of her shoto lightsaber in a single paw before sitting across from, setting the small lightsaber down in her lap and crossing her paws atop it. She works to clear her mind and relax her body, and the color fades from her fur as she grows calm. At Tom's request to hear of what she has learned, she takes a moment to think back over her time with Master Roma, and even before that.
"Well, I began to learn basics like Force Sense, Telekinesis, and Telepathy at the temple on Arkania before Master Roma and I met. Later I began to learn and practice the first five lightsaber combat forms, eventually leaning more toward Ataru. Once Master Roma took me as her padawan, my training under her direction would strengthen what I had already learned, and I also continued to learn more. In the relatively short time she taught me I learned Force Healing, and Force Speed, and continued to sharpen my lightsaber skills.
She also helped me to better focus my connection to the force while we were traveling out in the jungle here on Felucia. In my travels since we were separated, I have learned how to suppress my emotions and hold back changes in my fur color, and hope to one day be able to control the changes at will, as I figure that could be useful. I also finally managed to master Galactic Basic, mostly out of necessity with all the different people I had to talk with during my travels."

Asani nods and offers a wave to Jake before gathering up her plate, utensils and drink container, then follows Tom, leaving everything at the repository and quickly following after Tom. She may be small, but she's quick, and it doesn't take her long to catch up with him. She is quite excited as she follows him out of the dining area, knowing that her training is about to begin once again, and begins wondering to herself how Tom's training methods will differ from Master Roma's.

Asani hops up onto a seat and sits down on it as she gazes back toward Moiur, very serious and remaining quiet for now as he explains how many others have tried and failed to take out 'The Boss'. She knows she must not fail, but hopes that she is up to the task. Even as Moiur explains how much he knows about where this boss is running operations and the fact that she will be with a team of his men, she knows this will most likely not be easy. She has never been a leader on any sort of mission, and doubt's that Moiur's men would listen to her anyway, so she doesn't have a problem with following the orders of Moiur and his men for this mission.
"I understand, yes. Just tell me when this is happening and what you want me to do, and I will help to the best of my abilities."

Asani listens to Zion as he explains that the sort of training she would receive here spans every aspect of the force. She takes a moment to think about that, but ultimately decides that it could very well be an advantage for Jedi, even one who stays on the path of the light side.
"I know the force is vast, and varied, but simple knowledge is not good or evil in itself, it is how you use that knowledge in your actions that can stray toward one or the other."
She states with a simple nod, hoping that that adequately answers the question of how she feels about it. She then turns to the Tridactyl as he speaks to her, recognizing his appearance from tales she once heard from her family about Master Ikrit, who was once a padawan to Master Yoda. She nods to him and her fur shifts toward a yellow color as she is happy about the idea of being trained by him, figuring that being trained by one of similar size would be very beneficial in many ways, and could sense that he was very old and wise in the force. Her answer is an easy one.
"I would like that, yes. I am practiced in Ataru, but I am sure there is still very much you can teach me in that as well as the force as a whole."

Asani nods happily to Jake, excited to meet Morgan later and go out into the jungle again, this time for some fun, since it was pretty much all business when she went out there with Master Roma. Her feelings now giving her fur an azure hue.
"Alright, that sounds good. Why don't we meet up at the gardens later then? I'll head there after my training is done and if you're not there yet, I'll wait for you."
She offers, figuring she can do some meditating to unwind from her training while she waits if that ends up being the case. But now she turns back to Tom again.
"So, what's first? Do you have any questions, anything you want me to show you?"
She asks curiously, feeling ready to start her training now that she's done with her breakfast and her stomach has had a chance to settle some.

Asani follows Amber into the Master's Quarters, and looks up at both Gunter and Zion, holding back a chuckle at the question of whether Zion has anyone to assist in taking care of the routine tasks of running the temple. When Zion greets her, she turns her attention fully upon him and nods as she gives a simple and direct answer.
"Thank you. I have come here to learn, to grow in the ways of the Force."

She simply nods as Amber urges her on toward the hangar exit, taking a moment to look back as she makes her way out, hoping that Amber's assessment of the crew's pest handling skills was accurate. She finally quietly heads out of the hangar with Amber and follows her through the temple towards the Master's Quarters, looking forward to meeting Master Morviael.

Asani doesn't even wait for Lucius to urge her on, she would only watch Moiur move toward the doorway for for a moment before dropping off the barstool and landing quietly on the floor, walking upright as she follows the gang boss toward said door which she is sure leads into some sort of private room. She leaves the rest of her drink behind, knowing she will get drunk if she finishes it, already tipsy as it was. When the door opens, she quietly follows Moiur inside, continuing to walk upright as she felt it made her look less like someone's pet when walking with other people, but mostly because it left her paws free to grab her lightsaber if the situation should call for it. She still can't believe she's about to be working with a gang just so she can have a chance to get off this planet in one piece. What an adventure this search for her master is turning out to be.

Asani nods to Tom as he confirms that she is correct about him having training planned for her today. She figures that since he knows basically nothing about what she has been taught so far, that they have a lot to cover today. But there is hope for some leisure time later as Tom promises not to keep her training all day. Jakes reassurance that the lake they swim in was at least relatively safe was also good to hear, but it seemed that their trip out into the jungle and this lake where they would go swimming, hinged on Morgan going with him, and she wasn't here now, so that left one obvious question, which she turns to Jake and asks.
"So, do you think Morgan will be around later today then so we can go have some fun together? Would be a nice way to relax and refresh after a long day of training."
As for Rush, Asani wasn't sure what an Akk dog was, but she figures anything that was big enough to offer protection from other predators on Felucia would be big enough to make short work of a Kushiban, but as long as it didn't so much as try to eat her, Asani wouldn't have any problem with it being around adding to their safety out in the jungle.

Asani nods to Amber before promptly responding in turn.
"That's great! I look forward to meeting Master Morviael. You can just give me directions to where I may find him if you are busy. I should be alright."
She replies warmly, only to have her attention drawn to one of the cruisers, her ears lifting up as she hears the squealing of the caught gizka, then blinks a bit as she hears the unmistakable sound of a lightsaber. She doesn't quite make out what the people near the ship are saying word for word, but catches enough to understand the gist of it. She also notices another gizka who seems to have escaped unnoticed by the crew of the ship.
"I think the crew of that cruiser are having some issues with gizka..."
She says as she turns back toward Amber. Perhaps going to see Master Morviael would have to wait for the moment.

Without even looking, Asani instantly knows with near certainty that the man, or men as the case may be, that they were waiting for, have entered just by the change in tone through the cantina. She continues to sit quietly at the bar, taking another tiny sip of her brandy, taking great care to avoid having too much, which was certainly a challenge at her size. She lets Lucius do the talking at first, but when The Boss turns his attention on her, she turns to look back at him, trying her best to remain calm while feeling like the man was a predator sizing up his prey, not to mention nearly everyone else in the cantina poised to shoot her dead if she so much as sneezed the wrong way. She mostly succeeds, her fur just shifting tone very slightly as she works to hold her emotions in check. Her voice is calm as she answers his question. "Well, I was minding my own business when some... associates of this other boss which I am told you don't particularly like, decided to use me for target practice. At this point they are probably not going to rest till they manage to hunt me down and put a blaster bolt through my back... So, as much as I wish there was another way out of this, it seems we have a common enemy."

Asani sees a woman enter the hanger and start looking around. She supposes the woman is likely looking for who just arrived on the ship that oddly came and left in a matter of minutes. As the woman glances around, Asani figures she probably isn't expecting the new visitor to be quite as short as she is, but eventually Amber spots her and approaches, greeting her with a bow, which she returns respectfully and looks the woman over as she speaks. "Hello, and thank you for the kind welcome. My name is Asani, and I have come here hoping to receive further training. I hope that this is acceptable?" She says warmly as she begins to use her sense in the Force to feel how Amber is connected to it, whether she is a Jedi or not.

Asani would have assured Jake that the fact that there are larger predators elsewhere didn't make the Xinkra any less horrifying. They hunted more than just her kind, and while she figures her training would give her an advantage against them should she ever face one back home, she knows that Jedi or not, a Xinkra would make short work of her, or even an adult human, if they were caught off guard by one.
"I would be happy to go right now, but as you say, Morgan isn't here, and I imagine that Tom does have some plans for us today, being the first day following our agreement that he would continue my Jedi training, and help me in seeking my original Master, Serrin Roma. But I promise, if you let me know when Morgan is around, whenever I'm free, I'll come find you both and we can swimming, as long as it's not somewhere that a huge fish is going to gobble me up."
She says with a chuckle before turning to look up at Tom, wondering if her assumption had been correct and what he had planned for her.

As they leave the home and begin the twisting series of turns toward their destination, Asani finds herself thinking about just how much this man must either value his privacy, or not wish to be found. Even after being lead along this path both coming and going, she doubts if she would be able to navigate it on her own. Still, as they continue moving through the city, Asani works on clearing her mind to focus on the mission and remain calm, and slowly the color fades from her fur. She doubts anyone in this gang they are going to meet with is likely to be a Kushiban expert, but it never hurts to be careful about potentially walking into the cantina wearing a sign that she's nervous about something. As they reach the Cantina, she rises up to walk on two legs and straightens her robes a bit before letting her arms rest at her side, her right paw resting against her lightsaber. She gives the man a nod as he holds the door to her, slightly lifting an ear to his whisper as she walks inside. She tries to look natural and despite her curiosity avoids the urge to glance around the cantina, but she compensates by listening carefully with her sensitive ears and feel out the place with Force Sense. She would leap up to a seat at the bar, a few places down from where her new friend ends up sitting, and orders a brandy, sipping at it a little when the drink is placed in front of her, though she barely drinks any of it. Otherwise she just waits, and stays very alert as the time ticks by and the time to meet these gangsters approaches.

A low rumble can be heard as a XS-800 slowly enters the hangar and comes down to land softly. Shortly after the freighter lands, the main hatch opens swiftly to reveal a Kushiban dressed in a set of Padawan robes modified to accommodate her quadrupedal nature.
She looks around the hangar a bit as she makes her way out of the ship and heads toward the hangar exit, ever curious of new places and the people she may meet here. Though her true reason for coming was to further her training, hoping that someone here would be able to help her as she continues on the path toward being ready for her trial of knighthood. After a moment, she stops near the exit of the hangar, wondering if anyone would be sent to greet her whom she may miss if she begins to wander beyond the temple.
As the young jedi makes her way away from the ship, the freighter that brought her here lifts off and exits the hangar, continuing on to other worlds.
