Xurc walked quickly down the hallways, the clone, Serasi, following, her green eyes calmly taking in everything. The clone all ready knew where everything was in the Temple...but still. She knew her mission, her hand rested on her lightsaber hilt for a moment; she then turned down a hallway, walking confidently as Xurc continued down another. He quickly walked up to a computer and swiftly hacked into the system, all the while calling on the Force to tell him if someone was coming, he changed all the files claiming that Serasi had left on a mission.
The clone entered her quarter,
locking the door behind her, she pulled out her lightsaber and began to work,
pulling wires, and other electronics, she then sat down and began to work on
the "lightsaber"...
Jedi Knight Tahl finally stood and walked out of the room of A Thousand Fountains...she had grown bored...so she decided that the best thing to do would be to work on her fighting skills. As she walked down the hallway she noticed a young boy walking down the same hallway, she had never seen him before...but then again...she couldn't remember everyone in the Temple.
Gabri looked through the hall, noticing a Jedi Knight with silver-streaked hair while fighting the urge to take out his contacts and complain loudly about how itchy they were. He cursed softly in some unknown, guttural language and told himself to think fast. And to stop thinking about the green contacts itching his eyes.
Then again, I don't exactly like having my hair this color, either. Once I get out of here, I'm trashing the contacts and staying in the shower until the dye comes out of my hair. And I'm getting rid of this horrible braid... It just feels so wrong... Whoops... thought-readers... pipe down! He blanked his mind, and boldly walked over to the Knight. "Hello... I don't think I've seen you around. I'm Gabri." Talk about thinking fast...
Tahl stopped before the boy, her green gold eyes met his eyes. "Hello...I'm Tahl..." She gazed at him a moment. "You seem to be having trouble...is something wrong?"
It was against the rules, the very code of the Jedi Order for a student, or padawan to with hold, lie, or even shade the truth to a Knight, or Master. She didn't know really what to do with Gabri...she never really just ran into students or other apprentices while she was at the Temple...sure she watched a few classes...searched for the, ever elusive, apprentice...but she never just stumbled onto one. And, didn't he have a class with a Master...or a meal to eat...or something that he was suppose to be doing currently? But then again...this could be a free time...
Gabri kept his hands out of the borrowed robe and away from the belt as well. Not only would it make him look nervous, but he had his blaster, his concussion rifle, Malarow's lightsaber, and a few other... surprises... tucked into the various folds. Instead, he moved his hands behind his back, interlacing his fingers. "Yes, actually. I'm kind of lost..." Ugh... that was a stupid thing for me to say... He managed a sheepish smile. "This happens to me rather often."
The Jedi Knight paused considering his words, it was strange for a padawan his age to be lost...maybe he had a mental condition, or maybe he just hadn't been to the Temple in a while...
"Where are you trying to get to?" Tahl asked, her mind running though a list of things a Jedi his age might need to get to.
Okay, so he felt rather silly having to ask a Jedi anything, but the maps of the temple hadn't helped him at all. He decided that right now was a good time to be blunt. "I need to know where Ma... ster Windu's chambers are." Gabri had just caught himself from saying Mace and managed to turn it into the "normal" Jedi term for him. He suddenly and inwardly winced. If she started asking questions, he'd have to bolt, probably wasting one of his little "tricks" doing so. Even if he was prepared to, there went fifty credits down the drain.
Tahl's head tilted slightly, studying the young man for a long moment. No one ever really went to Windu's quarters...they usually talked to him in the Jedi Council room.
Her green gold eyes locked on his, she gathered the Force around her and gently tried to search his mind...but when that didn't work, she turned and began walking, talking as she went.
"This way...Why do you need to get to Mace Windu's room? Couldn't you just speak to him in the Council room?" She asked, she wasn't suggesting anything...just curious.
Gabri was a smart man, and had let her search through his mind after blanking out all of the knowledge of why he was there. No reason to make a mess over it, after all. He followed her, keeping step easily. "I have a few things to tell him. In private." He began to wonder why he hadn't gone with his other name, Dean Corso. It would have been easier on him... then again, that was the name he used during a few pirating jobs. He might not like space pirates, but getting money was as easy as blowing the heads off of his "comrades"; get your share and get rid of some of the galaxy's worst.
Serasi sat in 'her' room twisting wires and carefully assembling her 'lightsaber'. She knew exactly what to do. Serasi had known all about bombs, perhaps that is why they selected her...But that didn't matter to her. She focused on her mission.
Tahl glanced at the young man walking with her, there was something strange about all this...a tingling of evil which lurked in the back of her mind...then it was gone, too abruptly for her to be sure of what it was...
Yoda's words came to her then..."When the path is unsure, better to wait, it is." So she would wait and be wary...
"Do you have a Master?" She asked, for he was too old to be a student...yet maybe not old enough to be a Knight...
Looks like Gabri's headed for a few problems. Don't worry, the story'll pick up after a while. Just wait to see what the Serasi-clone has in store. ::grins evilly:: I've been up to a few things myself, lately. Four drawings in three days. Yeah, I'm an art person too, on top of a role-player. After a while, this thing'll introduce some new characters, both mine and belonging to others. I'm really happy with Teran Kron. His part in this is almost as big as Gabri's. I really need to make these chapters longer…
