Katina concentrated deep inside of her own mind listening to her master's every move. She heard his breathing become louder and the friction of his clothing and she moved to defend herself. She heard the clash of the practice lighsaber against Ki-Adi's and felt the tense vibration of the handle. She jumped out of the way from a side blow, which caressed her sleeve. She felt it burn. She sharply changed her direction and swung her lighsaber in the direction of Ki-Adi obeying the force. She felt it hit something other then another lightsaber blade. She heard her master take a quick intake of breath and she took off her blind fold too see. The generator of the practice lightsaber was singed and nearly caught her master's fingers. He looked at her,
"Very good my young padawan you are learning."
"Thank you", she said in reply with a sigh of relief, she though he was going to correct her again.
"If no harm is needed only disarm, you need to remember this, it is important."
"No harm, only disarm.Ok I'll remember." She said smiling. She went over to the metallic bench and sat down welcoming the metallic coolness. She ask and watched a near by practice session with a padawan and Maser Depa Billaba. She lost her mind in thought, thoughts of what it would have been like if she was never chosen to be a padawan. Where would she be now.? Ki- Adi-Mundi walked up next to her.
"Yan told me that you have been preoccupied with your thoughts lately.is there anything wrong?" He asked.
"No there isn't anything wrong only that it has caught up with me on how long I have been in your apprenticeship. My 16th birthday is coming up soon." She looked up at her master making eye contact hoping to find that he hasn't forgotten.
"Yes Katina, I know it is." He said. "Is there anything else wrong?"
"No not really," she lied thinking about he breakfast conversation she had with Yan. She looked at Ki-Adi again and she knew by the look on his face that she didn't lie very well cause it looked as if her knew hr thoughts.
The doors to the room opened and Master Yoda entered. He waked over to the bench they were sitting at and they stood up and welcomed him with the traditional bow.
"Done with your training are you today?" Yoda asked to make conversation.
"No", Ki-Adi answered "Just taking a small break for now, We've trained all morning."
Yoda looked up at Katina, "Working hard are you?"
"Yes Master Yoda"
"Came to inform you I have. A senate hearing this evening there is. Master Mundi, both you and your padawan I wish to go"
Katina shot her full attention toward Yoda now.
"For you both a mission this may regard" he continued, "about crucial missing minutes this is of a secret meeting they had." Katina struggled to control her excitement but Yoda sensed it before she could hide it. He turned and looked at her and said nothing. She then looked at Ki-Adi and he was waiting for more information or demission from Yoda. Yoda turned back to Ki-Adi and said
"May the Force be with you." Katina bowed in return and watched Yoda leave the room.
Ki-Adi turned to Katina, "Don't put your hopes up too high, you know how these things can resolve themselves.
"Yes I know, but there is a chance and that is better then none. I, I just need a little change."
".from this everyday schedule", he finished for her. "I understand, we have been training hard lately and I think we both need a little more challenge." He paused and gazed at his boots then he looked at her for a moment, he had a thought. "You know even if we do end up being the ones chosen to resolve this it may just be a couple day request."
"Yes, I know but we would be out of the Jedi temple and away from a daily routine." Katina felt her stomach growl and hoped Ki-Adi was almost finished do she could get he mid-day meal.
Ki-Adi looked around and noticed there was no one left in the room but them. "Ok Katina I will see you back here in.No I change my mind I will contact you when I confirm this evening's schedule."
"Yes Master", she said. She placed the practice lightsaber away in the original holding spot.
Ki-Adi came up next to her and put the broken lightsaber in the repair box, "What is that 2 in one month?" she asked.
"I believe so" he answered.
Ki-Adi laughed and he and Katina went to the bench and buckled their utility belt on.
"I will wait for your message." She said.
Ki-Adi Nodded and left the room.
