When Yerbol spotted the glowing Leoria coming towards him, he couldn't help but relax. It was always a welcome sight to see a friend, but even more so after the grueling forty eight hours he had been put through. When she was within about a foot, she smiled at him and spoke, the young Jedi chuckling at the sentiment before telling her:
"I hope that's a good thing." His dark green eyes gazed into her bright blue ones and he couldn't help but feel a bit more energy surge through him. Leoria had been such a help during their respective times as Padawans and even more so as a Knight. They had run several successful operations together and Yerbol consulted her quite frequently when he had some down time, which would probably make Leoria one of, no maybe his ONLY, close friend in the Order. It was hard creating relationships due to the intensity of their studies and the frequent mention of "not having attachments" because they only "led to distraction". However, Masters Mansuto and Arianth didn't seem to have a problem with their Padawan's friendship. Maybe they knew that they helped each other grow and allowed the relationship to flourish due to the beneficial nature of it. In any case, Yerbol was happy to see her. 

He brushed aside some of the rebel strands of jet black hair that had fallen on his forehead before telling her:
"Master Mansuto has had me meditating almost non stop the past two days, which would explain why I haven't gotten back to you. After Tattoine, I was basically sectioned off and unofficially told that I couldn't communicate with anyone until I got this-" He pointed at his temple.
"Sorted out. Hasn't been very successful, but here's hoping things clear up in the next few days." He hadn't told Leoria about what had happened and he didn't know if he would...not now, anyway. Master Mansuto was right in telling him to shove aside his thoughts for later. He needed the break and good company was a way to ensure that.
"So you noticed the quiet, too, right? I didn't think that almost everyone would be out on assignment...hey, wait, I thought you volunteered to go with an expedition out to Corulag to explore some ancient ruin or whatnot. What gives? You didn't stay behind to talk to me, did you?" He gave her a playful nudge as he motioned for her to follow him.
