The Hangar

However this mission turns out, I think perhaps I'd like to spend some more time on Felucia, exploring, maybe hunting, seeing what mysteries the jungle might hold. But, first things first. We make our descent into the Jedi Base's hangar, and I pay the pilot, then disembark. After retrieving my luggage from the cargo hold, I look around in search of someone official.

Terra entered the hangar and immediately spotted the waiting shuttle that would take her back to Corellia. Sighing, she squeezed Morgan's hand and started walking towards it, stopping when they had gotten close. She knelt down and pulled Morgan into a very tight hug."I'm gonna miss you Morgan..."

Terra smiled back at Morgan, not sure if she'd see the girl as soon as she would like, but it would happen one way or another. She was sure of it."We will. I promise!"She hugged Morgan again, a bit misty eyed but managing to keep her tears back. Now wasn't the time to be crying, sad as it was to be leaving here.

It felt strange to be called a big sister, but also kind of nice at the same time. Terra was an only child so no one had ever called her that before, but that was the way she felt about Morgan so it felt right.

She slowly pulled away, her hands on Morgan's shoulders."I love you too, Morgan."She giggled."I've always wanted to be a big sister."She stood up slowly, readjusting her bag on her shoulders."Well...bye Morgan. We'll see each other again soon. I promise."

She leaned down and kissed Morgan on the cheek, then turned and slowly walked to the shuttle and started up the ramp, stopping for a moment to turn around and wave to Morgan one last time before disappearing into the shuttle as the ramp was raised. The shuttle's engines hummed to life and soon the craft lifted off and flew out of the hangar, disappearing into the sky.

*The girl was polite, returning the smile and bow and addressing Aerandir as "Master Calmcacil." As usual he'd have to correct that, but first, Serena was handing him a datapad, one her father had said to give to him. He accepted it and scanned it, finding within pertinent details about Serena's training thus far, as well as a note that the father would be arriving within the month. That was very helpful, and Aerandir nodded to himself before returning his focus to the child.*
Thank you. Well, no use standing around here, I can show you around quickly, particularly the dorms and the dining hall, if you're hungry. Do you think your parents will want to share quarters with you, or would you rather join the other students in the dormitories?
*He figured he'd at least give the girl a choice, though was certain her parents would possibly decide something otherwise when they arrived. He'd also have to see about getting her acquainted with other children her age so she wouldn't feel lonely, such as Morgan, but Morgan tended to be friendly enough anyway that he wouldn't have had to nudge her.*

*Her own room? Well, Aerandir supposed she was a guest rather than a resident, but for now, he would oblige her; if things needed to be worked out, they could wait until her father arrived in order to do so, so he only nodded to her.*
Well, in that case, follow me and I'll show you where you can stay.
*With a smile, he turned and beckoned for Serena and Morgan to follow him, then led her away from the hangar.*

Johun had felt Von, enter, but something was different about him. Johun placed this in the back of his mind as his new Padawan walked past him.

Glad to see you came Von. I wasn't fully convinced you would. Nice robes.
