[right][b][color=green]Aboard the [i]Lone Wolf[/i] bound for Mandalore[/color][/b][/right] The ship glided lazily through the serene background of Hyperspace. Rorwoorr sat in his quarters, his legs crossed as he sat in the middle of the floor. He could sense the plant life he had all around his quarters, the various small insects that scurried around the small ecosystem he had formed. As he cast his mind out he could sense Kaura beyond, her nerves rolling off her in waves. Her frustration as a blown fuse on her X-Wing continued to elude her. He did =is best to project calm and serenity before he continued to push his mind and his focus outward. All he caught was the orchestra of hyperspace, the cacophony of life as they sped along the hyperspace lane. The general feeling soon changed as he felt the shift out of hyperspace into real space. There was joy below. Much joy. The celebrations for the 25th Founding ceremony were already well underway. It wasn't long until there was a metallic knock at the door. [color=green][Enter*][/color] He growled. The door hissed open as he opened his eyes. Standing in the door way was a B1 Pilot Droid, which was just a B1 droid with a blue paint job and slightly different programming, from the [i]2[/i] denoted on its chest it was Blue 2. "Sir. We have entered a stable orbit. Ground control sends their greetings and requests after dropping you off the ship should return to orbit to free up space." Rorwoorr nodded his head slowly in understanding. [color=green][Very well. Take us down. I will inform Kaura.][/color] He pushed himself up onto his feet, his bad leg paining him slightly as he did so. Reaching out he grabbed his staff and after straightening out his 'robes' he walked out of his quarters and through the halls of the ship. He placed his hand on the door of his 'greenhouse' and allowed the feeling of life to fill him with comfort and warmth. Pushing on he entered a room devoid of life beyond one very frustrated blonde padawan. She hit her head and swore as she pulled herself out from underneath her fighter, handing a hydro spanner to one of the Wacs. [color=yellow]"Finish up here for me would you?[/color] The little droid chittered as it nodded its head, walking underneath the fighter and pulling itself up and into the opening Kaura had just been struggling with. Face covered in grease, hair tied back in a ponytail. She bowed her head at the Wookiee Jedi, dirty hands behind her back. Rorwoorr bowed his head in response. [color=green][We have arrived in orbit, and the festivities are underway so they have requested once we land that the ship returns to orbit. I have agreed.][/color] Kaura nodded. [color=yellow]"Understood, I suppose all that is left for me to do is get ready."[/color] She sighed, and he reached out a large hand and placed it on her shoulder. [color=green][Worry not, this is a joyous day. We will take part in the celebration before making our way to the Council of Mercy. You are ready for this my apprentice.][/color] [color=yellow]"I'm just nervous Master, what if I fail? What if they won't test me? What if they don't let me travel with you after?"[/color] He shook his head. [color=green][You are ready Kaura. You are a wise young Jedi, I have known many in my time and few have displayed as much worth as you have. The council will test you, and like myself, you will be free to follow your own destiny from there. Should you wish to travel with me, I will welcome it. If you wish to forge your own path then I will support you in whatever capacity I can.][/color] He could feel her nerves settle, they were still there. Bubbling beneath the surface, there was also a sense of excitement for what was going to come next. Rorwoorr cared for her, and felt a responsibility to her more than any other Padawan he had before her. However, if she were to grow as a Jedi and as a person she would have to push herself to new limits and discover her own way forward. Trees could only grow so tall in the shade. [color=Green][Go get ready Kaura. We'll be there soon.][/color] He flashed her a smile. [color=green][Don't worry. I'll make sure the WACs don't do more damage than good.][/color] Kaura chuckled as the WACs stuck their head out from within the Starfighter and rattled off curses in binary towards the senior wookiee. Rorwoorr let out a low chuckle as he just turned away and headed to the cockpit of the transport ship. The Blues ignored him as the ship brought itself into low orbit. Rorwoorr recognised many of the different vessels in orbit, while mostly Mandalorian designs dominated he noticed some sleek Corellian designs, Imposing Imperials and he even thought he spied some Confederate designs. [hr] [right][b][color=green]Keldabe City // Mandalore // Mandalore Sector[/color][/b][/right] Rorwoorr drew in on himself as he left the safety of the transport, Kaura at his side. A Jedi could easily become euphoric on Mandalore today with the waves of joy and excitement radiating from the flurry of excited people. Taking a breath to center himself, he felt a slight welling of pride as Kaura did the same as they went forward into the crowd. Now many people were accustomed too [i]moving[/i] when a giant Wookiee came walking towards them. Rorwoorr tended to part crowds even easier, and get even more second looks when they saw a Wookiee walking towards them wearing Jedi robes [i]and carrying a lightsaber[/i]. He walked through the streets, there was a joyous ruckus from Mandalorians all in varying states of uniform. Rorwoorr gave a nod of respect to those he saw wearing Clone armor, and various other Jedi. [color=yellow]"It's become much more... crowded. Since we were last here."[/color] Rorwoorr nodded to his apprentice's assessment. [color=green][Indeed it has. The Paladin has truly accomplished much in his tenure. The Mandalorian Republic is truly a force to be reckoned with.][/color] [color=yellow]"I don't remember much from when I was young, but it was nothing like this."[/color] [color=green][A collective vision to restore Mandalore in the wake of [i]Knightfall[/i], the will of the Mandalorian people is truly a marvel.][/color] He took a deep breath in. [Color=Green][So my apprentice, what would you like to see first?][/color]
