[b][right]Lannik Dig Site, Neutral Camp[/right][/b] [b][u][center]The Felinx and Rodus Cantina[/center][/u][/b] Airus Vel Aath was on his third hot chocolate the locals had ceased the staring and gone about their daily lives most patrons of the day were enjoying meals. Afternoon had arrived, the bar remained rather empty save for a handful of transport pilots, local workers, and a few personal from off world who had left their respective camps to get back to some kind of civilization. The Jedi knight was skimming through the data mostly he was watching the sabacc game a bit back behind him, to Airus this was the vacation he'd happily accepted as an assignment. Few people and none he'd have to work closely with, meaning no headaches from being crowded of course the part he loved the most was no one bothering him. A few of the younger Jedi or sometimes his fellow knights would pester him about what he so intently typing onto his datapad. Though more often he'd be asked to assist in lectures on history for those curious about certain topics or assist in providing materials to those who were attending the class. Of course most importantly he'd accepted the task to escape the constant questioning about him being fit as a teacher. Of course it came to the battle of Dantooine, a victory for the Republic and one that proved at least to Airus that the Republic and Jedi were not spent as a fighting force, even in the darkest hour and beyond they had taken the planet. He'd even heard rumors about some of what went on planet in other areas, of course he'd never spread them. Of course his own experience had colored his last few years within the order, needless to say he'd been... Distant, from many of the other Knights even those he'd trained with on Coruscant. He expected to return to a denial of his request to take a Padawan after all Master Turus had been rather against it, he'd rather settled with the fact from what had leaked down it his Padawan assignment request had split his superiors for awhile. Of course, when other presence in the force approach he sat up from his relaxed positioned focusing towards the presence curious who it might be. Airus was a bit surprised as she approached he could sense it, a Jedi, and a Padawan no less but what could she... Oh, oh no... No no no no no this couldn't there was no way this was... However, when she confirmed it he could only yell at himself internally for not planning for this outcome, the order had shown faith in him. The girl, no Miarhi, offered him a datapad so Airus took it before she sat down and pushed it aside. Mentally he was kind of shocked, outwardly he gave her a friendly smile. "Relax, yes I'm Airus Vel Aath and you have nothing to apologize for, Padawan." He answered calmly, of course it had been different for how he'd been chosen and the age... She was much older than he had been when he'd been assigned a master. "You are nervous... Don't worry I'm not some perfectionist, though if Master Dan'ii was here she'd tell you that I do work to hard. Either way, I'm here to research about the planet and go over data on possible locations to help shrink the search zone." Airus then figured it was best to explain why they would be here rather than at the Republic dig site. "If you are curious... Most of those dig site personal are Coruscant University students... And Coruscant is rather anti-Jedi lately so I figured it would be best to work... Away from where they might see me as trouble." He explained, before waving towards one of the service droids. "Please, two of your lunch specials and hot chocolate for my Padawan." He added the droid just nodded and moving back to the kitchen. "They don't have much here but the food is hot and well made, much better than rations... And I was given credits to make sure I wouldn't inconvenience anyway." He explained turning his head to face towards Miarhi. "Would you like to join me in reviewing the historical significance of the area and possibly locating the fortress in question?" He offered one of the datapads he'd been given to Miarhi. "I assume they've told you about me? Well if you'd like to know anything... Even if it's about the whole lack of eyes thing or my own abilities as a Jedi. Please ask, I'm an open book as it were." He chuckled to try and help his new Padawan find her voice and relax around him. He didn't need her nervous or worried about what he thought, he wanted to help her learn not put his burdens on her.
