The Archives were an expansive wing, rivaling those of the Great Temple of Coruscant. Knowledge from across the history of the Jedi Order and the galaxy itself could be found here, though some was restricted based on rank or clearance level. Terminals in the archive operated on their own network, separate from the other systems of the temple, preventing outside access. Most terminals were free to use by all, and a librarian was almost always on hand to aid those who sought it.

Making their way from the gardens, Alexia stopped only briefly, giving the smallest nod of her head. She had apologized but expected herself to still receive the reprimanding from Kalli. Everyone held their own feelings and personalities that defined them. @kallistarflight was strong, yet serene. Viv was mischievous. As for herself, she always believed it best to be straight forward. Maybe with time that would change.
Calming her own mind, she turned her attention to Achiira. Kalli already began asking questions, though she had some of her own. "I'm curious about what you have learned from your master. That is if you don't mind me asking?" It wasn't a long trip from the gardens to the archives as Alexia had opted for the quickest path, leading them through the entrance that brought them closer.
Upon entering the doorway, Alexia, turned back to the group and looked between Achiira Taan and Atuna Davinari Lemep's family. "Welcome to the archives. A massive room dedicated to housing all the knowledge one could need."

The door opened to reveal the Archives, a space Melia knew all too well to be vastly important to whoever had such a space. The secrets and histories of a culture made up the lifeblood of its people, and preservation of that knowledge was often more important than the preservation of the culture itself. Or so Atuna had said, once. As her eyes moved from terminal to terminal, she noted how differently these archives were formatted compared to the private collection Atuna had on the Firaxa. Rather than computers and desks, Atuna's library was mostly holocrons and datacrons on pedestals, with a single shelf for paper copies of older documents. The aesthetic of a physical 'library' was a welcome change of scenery. It felt a little less like a crypt.
"It's empty," Titus murmured from behind his mother's dress skirt.
"It's not empty, sweetie," she replied with a giggle. "The data is on the computers."
"But..."
"I'm sure they have audio files, too."
Ivy's eyes were intently focused, and her face was contorted into a strained expression, as if she was refraining from speaking. She glanced up at her mother, but Melia did not notice the gesture.

"Nothing as breath taking as Felucia I'm afraid, but thankful to have been able to see this with my own eyes. Back home on Corellia i am used to typical forests and jungles, so nothing special. Yet there is still nothing more wonderful than being surrounded by greenery of the forests. There's something very tranquil about its nature."
Achiira turned to reply to Alexia.
"My Master was very skilled and efficient in the force and force studies. She held great interest in my ability to be able to understand peoples thoughts and feelings through the force, and so she worked with me to help strengthen and maintain my connection. She taught me patience in having this ability, learning to understand when and when not to act upon how I sense those around me. Before her death, she spoke to me about the living force and the importance of understanding how everything connects, and was willing to pass her knowledge onto me in this area, something she knew would help with my abilities, but sadly we didn't get to it. But to me, the most valuable things that she passed onto to me would be the importance of humility, empathy, compassion, and remembering to keep oneself grounded. These are the foundations upon which I know will forge my path as a Jedi and to keep her in my mind. Sorry for the long reply." She gave a slight laugh as she felt the temperature rise in her face and realized that was probably the most she'd spoke since arriving.
The group slowed their pace as they came into the archives, an expansive place that no doubt held a lot of historical importance, histories of The Jedi Order and the galaxy. Achiira looked around at the terminals placed throughout, hearing the mechanical beeps and moans of the active ones. It was a vast place, much grander than the one in the Corellian Temple. She noticed very few guests in this room, a handful of Jedi including the archive librarian, and a mechanical caretaker.

Kalli otherwise hung in silence as she walked next to Melia. She wasn't expecting much from the woman after the earlier outburst in the garden. Without even a hum of acknowledgment to her words, though, Kalli's heart sunk with her sheer silence. With little else she could offer Melia, she, too, remained silent until they arrived at the Archives.
Remaining as cordial as before, Kalli reassured, "Audio files and holograms alike. I'm sure if there's anything we don't have in a media he can use, the librarian would be happy to assist."
Kalli glanced down at Titus and smiled warmly, even knowing that he would miss it. Nonetheless, she joyously awaited the day that he would be assigned a Master and could begin his training. As Achiira spoke, though, it drew her attention to the young woman. Revealing an ivory smile, Kalli tilted her head towards the woman and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Tranquil, indeed. I believe it's in part to existing harmoniously with other living things. We forge marble and durasteel for necessity, but resting within the beauty of life eases the mind and creates a remarkable serenity within the Force."
However, she didn't say anything more than that simple comment and allowed the two young women to continue their exchange fluidly. To hear Achiira speak openly with Alexia, Kalli made the conscious decision not to interrupt. Perhaps that's all it took -- having another to confide in close to her age. Instead of speaking, Kalli made a mental note of these things discussed between the young women, notably the teachings of the Living Force. It may be in her favor to address them later, should Achiira ever take her up on her offer to meet in the training wing.
With the thought of girls their age, however, came the thought of Vivikayl. Kalli quickly scanned the Archives to see if the young Echani was nearby. Her monotone silver was nowhere visible, though, which meant that she was either deep in the Archives or wasn't here at all. Kalli uttered a quiet sigh. However, remaining closer to the Lemep family, she glanced down at Ivy and noticed the expression set on the girl's features, which drew her out of her concern for her old apprentice.
Shifting her focus, Kalli asked gently, "Is something troubling you, child?" instinctually resting a hand against the young girl's back to guide her attention from whatever might have been troubling her.

Alexia gave a smile as Titus's words and his mother's reassurance that they would have audio files. "This archive rivals the one that existed in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. And of course, there are audio files. It is far from an uncommon thing for those of the Miraluka race to grace our halls. From visual and audio data files, they also exist in multiple languages to accommodate any and all who wish to join our order or simply seek to learn further."
She, like Kalli, noticed the expression from Ivy, but chose not to speak up as the master was already addressing her. Instead, she turned to Achiira, listening intently to all that was said. While the path in the Force belonged to the individual, it didn't come without certain affinities from time to time. So choose to follow wholely upon these natural abilities they held while others utilized them while choosing paths that might have conflicted with said powers. From what was said, it was clear that Achiira held gifts of an empath. "Those are strong values to have and define a Jedi's life. So your skills live naturally as an empath? Hmm." She rubbed her chin a bit as she thought on the abilities that best fell into such a category. There were quite a few, though one immediately came to mind. "There are certainly quite a few skills that would best suit that ability. What skills did she teach you? I would suspect that Battle Meditation is a good one to learn. The ability to connect to the minds of others and either bolster the morale of allies or erode that of an enemy. And what of you're combat skills?"

As Kalli's hand landed on Ivy, Titus let out a short gasp. Melia's eyes flicked to her son as Ivy looked up at Kalli slowly, realized she was scowling, and smiled up at her innocently. "I like computers."
Melia did not immediately see anything wrong with Titus and glanced over at Ivy instead, and noticed Kalli's hand on her shoulder. She absently nodded in understanding and did her best to swallow her worry. "Perhaps the Masters here will let you peruse their archives, then."
"I hope so."
"By the by, I think I neglected to answer your question earlier." Melia turned back to Kalli and smiled apologetically. "I would love for you to arrange for Titus to join your temple's Order under a master, if he's comfortable with that. And if you ever want to join me for tea, I brew some every morning before I work. In fact, I'd love it if you did, because I feel... you are owed an explanation for these two. Like I said before, it's not a secret. The circumstances are simply... exhausting to recount, is all. A full summary is quite lengthy."
Once Melia had begun to address Kalli, Ivy's gaze lingered on the adults only a moment before she swiveled back to the archives and fixated oddly on the terminals. This time, Melia noticed right away, and she poked her with a finger, enough to knock her slightly off-balance. Both Titus and Ivy rocked to the right a half-step in unison; Titus letting out a slight grunt, while Ivy let out a quiet, surprised squeal.

The group seemed to have split into two, Kalli and Melia with the children, and the two young Jedi chatting. Achiira quite enjoyed the chance to exercise her voice, gave her a chance to escape her mind and relax into the company she was with. Ever since she arrived she'd been continuously curbing and fighting off her emotions, now she was able to focus on the present. It was nice to have someone closer to her age to connect with, and Alexia was perfect for that.
"Ah, yes an empath, that's the word I was looking for sorry. I am not too sure of all the skills that relate with Empathy, but we touched upon force Enlightenment, being able to heighten my natural abilities, push them to their highest degree, but I have not been too successful in this area. She was able to teach me precognition, use my abilities of sensing others feelings and push past that and sense motions, actions and events, but only to a small degree. From being a youngling, I have been taught thought shielding which works great along side being an empath. My telepathic abilities have been slightly strengthened from this knowledge and teaching.
Combat has never been one of my strong points, and is an area in which needs lots of work. I rely heavily on natural instinct and the force, rather than tact and training, which is very poor form on my part, and is something I am very much wanting to rectify and study in-depth, I would very much like to become a good duelist."
Just as Achiira finished speaking, she heard Melia arranging for Titus to join the Order here. She looked at the boy who wasn't looking back and gave a slight smile, knowing how much excitement and pleasure that decision will give him.

Kalli hummed softly as Alexia discussed more details regarding the Archives. It was especially nostalgic as the young knight mentioned the one on the Coruscant Temple. Speaking up with quiet confidence, she added,
“Many items within the Coruscant Archives made it into this one here. As one who trained at the Coruscant Temple and thus familiar with its layout, I helped in numerous retrieval operations to acquire texts and ensure they reached Felucia safely. With two Archives now as one, I’m certain that Titus and Ivy will both have endless resources at their fingertips.”
She kept her explanation turned more so towards Melia than Achiira, the Master allowing the two girls to talk between each other. Despite Melia’s delayed answer, Kalli still smiled warmly nonetheless and dismissed the silent apology with a gentle wave of her have.
“I would be delighted to join you for tea one morning. To recount one’s life and story can have many twists and turns, some of which you may not remember until later down the road in some other complex conversation.” Kalli laughed lightheartedly before continuing. “If it’s something that Titus decides he wants, though, it will be beneficial for me to understand what hardships he has faced and will continue to overcome during his training. It’ll be easier to speak with the council that way, to ensure that he finds a Master who can help him achieve all that he wants.”
Turning to Ivy, though, Kalli added, “And of course, if you like computers so much, you will be more than welcome to spend your time here,” with slightly more animation in her voice. “Perhaps I can ask your assistance in ensuring that another young Knight does the research she keeps saying she needs to--” Suddenly, Kalli was brushed past from behind with a clearly purposeful force.
As if summoned by her mention, Vivikayl's silver eyes looked up at her old Master with that perpetual grin stuck on her lips. In truth, she had been lingering about, waiting for the perfect chance to sneak up on the group.
“Shhh,” Vivikayl whispered, bringing a finger to her lips.
Although she was actually the same age as Alexia, the Echani woman was only slightly taller than the two children, who she beamed at with excitement that very well should have been audible by the look on her face. However, as she looked up at the two young women up ahead, her grin took on a more playfully devious tone.
Ducking down further, she whispered to the two children, “Wanna see how badly I can scare Lexi?” remaining both out of sight and earshot from the two others as they continued on and on about Empathy or Enlightenment or only the Force knows what. It didn’t matter, at least not right now, while she was set on a rather petty mission that held some sort of excitement.

Alexia gave a simple nod as she heard Kalli add a bit more knowledge to her explanation of the archives. There was little else she could actually add from what was stated for, as the master had mentioned, she had a hand in gathering and moving items from Coruscant. If further questions arose, either of them could work to answer, with the older woman able to fill in any blanks Alexia had on the matter.
She also gave a small smile as it seemed that Melia worked to open up with Kalli about Titus and her family. But she would say nothing more. It was clear that she was too blunt for the conversation and had already been put in her place by Master Starflight. So for the time being, she knew it was best to stick with the conversation she was having with Achiira, which fell more into her line of thinking.
As the two walked further, she contemplated the girl's training regarding combat. "I see. Your skill lies more in using the Force than actual combat. That certainly isn't unusual. There are many who are less capable in a direct fight while there are others who seek to avoid fighting where they can. After all, it is the Jedi's principles to only draw their sabers if there is no other choice, though there are the select few who are more obligated to follow that path. These Jedi practice Form Zero, which falls into talking your way out of a fight. I hope you've got some crazy charisma." She laughed a bit at the thought. "But I'm sure you are at least adept with Form I since that's what we begin learning as younglings. But from there, our masters help guide us. Though you may not have been as capable in combat, perhaps she thought to focus more on refining your Force abilities first. Still, I would suggest picking up another form to learn and become skilled in combat. We must always be ready for anything and saber combat is just one of those scenarios. Having at least two forms gives you something to fall back on in case your primary doesn't cut it."
All the while, Alexia was oblivious to the approaching Viv. It wasn't hard to sense another's presence, but when the temple was full of Jedi and no need to stay alert, being zoned it and picking out a particularly close presence wasn't in the cards.

Achiira zoned in and out of listening to Kalli and Melia's conversation. She was glad that Melia was able to open up to the Jedi Master, thankful that the force was guiding them into the territory of training the young boy. She wondered though what Atuna would make of this decision and if it might have been wise for the mother to speak with him on such important subject, considering it seemed like such a sore subject within the family.
Her conscious thoughts were brought back to Alexia as she gave out a laugh, and Achiira giggled along to what she had said.
"You've seen how quiet I am, so I'd be surprised to find charisma hidden away in me somewhere." She laughed again as she said this, running her hand through her ponytail.
"I believe you are correct in your thoughts, my skills lie more so with using the force and my master sought to focus on refining.
I am efficient with form 1 yes, but I do understan.............." She trailed off, her head tilting slightly as if trying to hear the faintest of sounds.
Whilst she was busy in conversation, Achiira still held the ability to know her surroundings, the people in the room and the activities being performed. It was her ability of awareness within the force and precognition training that allowed her to notice a new presence enter the archives. She let her mind sink deep within the force, allowing her body to relax and become a conduit. As she reached out into the room with the force she was able to feel the young girls energy and thoughts. Mischievous. Spirited. fun.
Achiira knew what was coming, and wouldn't ruin the fun. What felt like minutes in her head had passed in seconds, and she remembered she needed to finish what she was in the middle of saying to Alexia.
"Oh forgive, I thought I felt Atun......ah never mind. Yes, i understand the importance of combat training, and I am willing to pursue training in other forms, and becoming an efficient duelist. Maybe we arrange this at some point?"
Achiira tilted her head to the floor and scratched the back of her head, an action to allow her to let out a quiet suppressed giggle.

Vivikayl allowed the tension to brew, her dear friend Alexia continuing on with her false sense of calm. The young knight could catch her old Master’s concerned, scolding looks upon her, but the Echani didn’t seem to pay too much mind to it. Instead, she remained crouched down by the children, still as silent as when she arrived. Although Vivikayl scrunched her face in a comedic way to lure the kids out of their uncertain withdrawn demeanor, she remained otherwise as quiet as they were. In a way, it was a blessing that they didn’t squeal or snicker, as to draw too much attention their way. It would ruin the whole thing. Of course, the new girl then paused. Vivikay’s stomach leaped into her throat. She knew.
Don’t say anything. Don’t say anything. Don’t say anything. Don’t say anything.
The Echani’s mantra was repeated so strongly in her head that it might as well been reverberating through the very Force. Vivikayl hadn’t realized that she even stopped breathing in hopes that her silence could further help. The moment that the new girl tried to cover for her pause, Vivikayl exhaled softly in semi-dramatic relief, perhaps unbecoming of a Jedi Knight, but she didn’t quite seem to care. That much was evident the moment her playful grin split across her face again.
Poised directly behind Alexia, she took one silent step closer. Two… Three… Then with a sudden jabbing of her index fingers into Alexia’s sides, Vivikayl screeched, “Lexi!” loud enough to receive an aggravated, warning hush from the librarian.
With an apologetic sigh, Kalli murmured over to Melia and her children, “My apologies for my former apprentice. She’s usually more respectful when there are new people present, but whenever Alexia is about, she seems to forget her manners and discipline. It hasn’t even mattered with the Jedi Council is present, unfortunately.”

Alexia raised an eyebrow at Achiira's pause. It was a bit strange, but perhaps the conversation hit a nerve with her memory that she either didn't want to address or cause a small surge of emotion. She couldn't blame the girl after what she had shared thus far. There was no doubt it was still hard trying to move on from her master's death, especially in a new place where she didn't know a single soul.
When she continued, it seemed to be of a different matter, claiming she thought she sensed Atuna nearby. She gave it no thought, knowing her attention needed to be in the here and now. Nodding, Alexia began addressing the girl. "You may be quiet now, but that could very well change with time. Force only knows who we truly open up to become as we grow. As for arranging a get together to look into combat, we..."
She was unable to finish her sentence before the prodding of Viv's fingers into her side. A high-pitched sequel, followed by a small jump came from Alexia as her eyes went wide and her face lit up. It was a few seconds before her hands came up to her mouth, realizing what had just happened. In response, loud shushes came from those nearby. With an embarrassed look, she looked to them and gave small bows of her head before turning quickly to Viv, her face red with irritation. "Geez, Viv! What are you doing sneaking up on me like that?! And in the Archives of all places?!" She spoke with a quiet intensity so to make her point, but not disturb anyone further. Crossing her arms, she closed her eyes and looked away with a huff. I swear you can be such a child."
It was only a few seconds before she shook her head with a small smile. "I'm sorry about that little...interruption. But I'd be more than happy to help you out in combat. As for this one." She wrapped an arm around Viv and pulled her violently into the frame of the conversation as she introduced her. "This is Vivikayl Barmirr. A Jedi Knight, though a bit mischievous."
Just after she introduced Viv, her datapad went off. Looking at it, she got confirmation the rooms were finished. "It seems that everything has been finished with the rooms. Whenever everyone is ready, we can cut the tour short and head there."

The scene unfolded quickly, with the newcomer arriving from seemingly nowhere to prank Alexia, the brief introduction, and the sudden offer to show everyone to their newly-prepared rooms. It took Melia by surprise, with how unfocused on the scene around her she was. Entire conversations had transpired in the moments she had spent listening to Kalli, or those lost in her thoughts about how to explain her children to a stranger. A brief glance at each one was all she needed to gauge their reactions. Neither one seemed shocked by the suddenness of the scene, which Melia was not at all surprised by. It was hard to sneak up on Titus, and Ivy... was also hard to sneak upon, as a result.
Ivy had an uncomfortable, forced grin on her face, as if she had no idea how to react to the scene. It was obviously meant to be a funny scenario, but the humor of the moment seemed to go over her head. Again, Melia was not surprised.
What surprised her was Titus' genuine grin. Even though his head was turned to the left wall, away from everyone, he still had small spasms of stifled laughter and a silly, toothy smile on his otherwise hard-to-read face. Melia had not seen him laugh or smile in quite some time. She briefly wondered what was wrong with him before dismissing the thought immediately.
With an exasperated sigh, she hung her head and glanced up at Alexia sleepily. "I would love to adjourn for the day, if no one else minds. It's been a long one, and I have a fair bit of work to start on in the morning."

Achiira was struggling to contain her giggle, feeling Vivikayl creeping ever close and the confused look on the unsuspecting Alexia.
Closer, closer, closer.
Vivikaly screeched Alexia's name as she prodded her in the sides of her waist causing the young Knight to jump and squeal, and Achiira's giggle erupted into a laugh she hadn't heard for a very long time. It seemed to have had the desired outcome for Vivikaly and Achiira, but the librarian was less than impressed, yet a little bit of unsuspecting excitement seemed to have cut some of the previous tensions.
Achiira stopped her laughter short as she noticed how annoyed Alexia had become, and realised how disrespectful it might have seemed to do so.
I am sorry to have laughed Alexia, forgive me. " She gave an awkward smile."I'd very much appreciate the help you offer."
She turned to face Vivikayl and bowed respectively.
Greetings Vivikayl, I am Achiira Taan, pleasure to meet you."
Just as she was finishing her sentence, Achiira reached out to the Jedi Knight through the force and impressed a message upon her.
Thank you for the laugh.
She left Viv with a cheeky grin and once more spoke to Alexia who had just mentioned that the rooms were now ready. Some much needed rest would go a long way for the new arrivals after the days events.
"I don't mind finishing up here to head to the rooms. I am sure the Lemep family and I could use some much needed rest. Thank you Alexia."

Vivikayl grinned a cheeky smile as her pounce on Alexia was deemed a success. Her squeal had drawn all eyes towards the group, and she managed to make her friend flush in the face. The name-calling was just icing on the cake, which elicited a snicker from the young Echani. Her laughter was cut off with an uncertain noise, though, as Alexia violently jerked Vivikayl next to her. After she stumbled to regain her footing after such a yank, she struck something of a power-pose with her hand finding her hip. Beaming a toothy smile towards the newcomer, Vivikayl welcomed the introduction and all its glory but playfully fought back against her friend's choice of descriptors.
"Mischievous, Lexi?" she asked skeptically, tilting her head towards Alexia. "I would say I'm something closer to…" Vivikayl stared off intensely, fighting to find a better word, but simply settling with, "...whimsical." She smiled smugly before shifting her weight to bump her hip against Alexia and toss her friend slightly off-balance before turning her full attention towards the other young woman.
"It's so nice to meet you, Chi. Can I call you Chi?" Before Achiira could respond, though, Vivikayl shuddered at the use of her full name and moved on as quickly as a ship in a hyperspace lane. "And please, just call me Viv. So…" She cocked her head curiously towards the older woman, who closer to her former Master's age, and her kids before looking back at Achiira with building anticipation, "you're going to be staying here for a little while, right?"
However, the moment that Alexia announced that their rooms were ready for them, Kalli smiled gently towards the evidently-exhausted Melia and took a step forward towards the three young women. She placed a gentle hand on Vivikayl's shoulder, reining the exasperatingly energetic woman back just a tad. "You can bombard her with questions tomorrow, Viv. Let the girl rest. They've all traveled quite a bit to get here."
The Echani pouted, unable to combat her Master's sense. Her silver eyes flickered over towards the family of three, clearly seeing what Kalli was talking about. "Yes, Master Starflight," Vivikayl conceded unhappily. Mumbling to herself, she groaned, "Of course, the rooms are ready the moment I get here."
Kalli shook her head at Vivikayl but still smiled warmly towards the other two young women and nodded towards them. "Perhaps you two could show Achiira to her room, though, if the poor girl is up to you two's antics?" Kalli laughed knowingly before she turned to Melia and added quietly, "And I'll be happy to show you to yours. Alexia…? Kalli asked, tossing her gaze over her shoulder to find Alexia out of the corner of her vision. "Which set of rooms were set aside for the Lemep family?"

Alexia shook her head with a wave of her hand, dismissing Achiira's apology. "Oh, no, there's no reason to be sorry. I'm glad you could get a laugh out of it. As for this one," She glanced over to Viv with a mischievous smile of her own. "she'll get her comeuppance soon enough. Tis' the way of things when you are friends with her." She could help but laugh a little as Viv spoke, turning quickly to face her as she put her hands on her hips. "Yes, mischievous. If not that, then probably childish. Sometimes I have to wonder if you are twenty-four or twelve." She gave another laugh as she patted Viv's head, her attention turning back to Achiira.
"Sounds like a plan to me. And maybe we'll bring Viv along as well. Perhaps it'll help knock out some of that pent up energy of hers." She listened as Viv furthered the introductions, already making quick work in attempting to make Achiira feel at home, giving her a nickname and everything. It was then that she heard Kalli speak. Looking to the woman, she gave a nod. "They were assigned room G-161." She then gave a bow to Melia and her children. "It was a pleasure to meet you. I hope that your stay is a pleasant one." She then looked back to the other pair. "I guess we should head-on as well."

The young knight was very different to the other Jedi Achiira had met or knew. She was loud, confident, an extrovert, fun and boisterous, the opposite to how Achiira is yet she quite enjoyed the change in dynamics. There was a lot going on now within the group, there was a shift in the atmosphere which seemed to have wrapped up any interactions that were being held and prompting the end of the tour early. It didn't surprise Achiira that Melia wanted to go to her room now, given the feelings she sensed previously from her, and wondered if being around all this Jedi business was too much for her right now. Given how tense and deep within conversations were lately, she was glad for Viv's arrival, it was nice to have an injection of laughter, even if it wasn't received by the whole party.
Achiira nodded to Kalli as she responded to Viv's questions.
She felt a stir of excitement as Kalli suggested that the two young knights could show her to her room, she enjoyed the female company and turned to Alexia.
"I'd very much like that, we can let Viv ask all her questions, see if that calms her down too." she chuckled as she looked over at Viv. She took a few steps over to the direction of the Lemep family and looked at the children.
"Titus. Ivy. It was very nice to meet you, I hope you both get to visit the gardens again soon." she smiled and gave them a bow and turned to face Melia.
"It was nice to meet you also, I hope you rest well and you manage to find Atuna, I am sure he is still close by." She closed off with a bow and headed aback towards Alexia and Viv.
"Master StarFlight, I hope we can arrange to chat sometime, it was a pleasure to meet you also." She gave a sincere smile and bow reverently.

Vivikayl playfully stuck her tongue out at Alexia after that little quip about her acting like she was twelve instead of twenty-four. Still, she grinned over at Achiira and winked. Oh, the questions she did have, but then again, if she asked too many, Master Starflight was bound to get word back from one of them. Even though she was no longer a Padawan under the Master, she still didn't want to risk another one of her scoldings.
"Yes, let's head back to Chi's fancy new room, where you both can help me knock out some of this pent up energy, huh? What are you planning on happening, Lexi?"
She raised an eyebrow skeptically at her friend, her ivory smile brightening with her mischievous teasing. However, looking over at her Master, who shook her head discouragingly at Vivikayl, the Echani woman beamed an innocent smile over in her direction. She understood, though, that Kalli was one who knew all too well that devil horns held up whatever halo she could create.
"Come on then, slowpokes," she encouraged eagerly, squirming her way out of Alexia's arm to grab her hand. She then lunged towards Achiira, grabbing hers with her free hand, and began yanking the two out of the Archives behind her. "No need for such formalities when you'll see them all again later. Bye, Master Starflight and family!"
Catching the scolding look from the librarian in her direction, Kalli sighed softly. Vivikayl never made it easy for her. In some ways, the excitement was a welcomed respite from the dullness within the Temple. In others, however, she wished the girl could show a more disciplined side during times like this. With a shake of her head, she let it all go to turn to the matters at hand--Melia and the children.
"I suppose we should follow Viv's lead and make haste. I'm sure you all are ready to get settled in. Please, follow me."
Managing a gentle smile, although burdened with slight embarrassment, Kalli led the Lemep family out from the Archives, opting to take the fastest route to the Residential Tower in which their room was located. Although all the hubbub left her concerned for Melia's husband now, her first order of business was to ensure that these three could get some rest.

As Viv's comment registered within her mind, Alexia froze for a moment as she felt her face burn a bit. With a slight shake, she hopes that the split-second pause went unnoticed. For all the time she had spent with Viv, understanding the girl and her antics, there still existed many an occasion where the Echani caught her by surprise with her words or actions. Dropping her head, she offered a faint laugh. "The real question should be what you're planning to happen. After all, you are the one eager to know."
She wasn't able to get another word in before Viv grabbed her and Achiira's hands and pulled them out of the Archives enroute for the residential towers.
