Disclaimer: Same as before.
Notes: I've had major writer's block, so I apologize for the delay in updates. This is just what I had written before. It's another filler chapter, basically. I'm hoping that, by posting this, I'll get some ideas so I can write more of the story. Anyways, this is really short, but I hope you enjoy it.
"First thing first, Kam," Han said as the door sighed shut behind Jag. "What's going on between this two, and how long has it been going on?"
Kam chuckled. "First, if something was 'going on,' as you put it, between them, it's none of my business. I'm the headmaster for the Jedi students, not the fighter pilots. Second, even if I did know something, I wouldn't feel right about just telling you. I suggest that you talk to your daughter or Colonel Fel about it."
"I just might do that," Han murmured and got a none-too-gentle poke in the side from Leia.
"Now, if you don't mind my asking, just why are all of you here?" Kam asked.
"We were assigned as part of your defense force," Leia answered. "General Antilles thinks that the Jedi might need more than just on squadron of fighters protecting the Jedi. Also, if you do get attacked here, we can help evacuate the students, not just protect the base."
"Sound thinking," Kam said thoughtfully. "So, I guess that means that you all need rooms to stay in." Heads around the room nodded. Kam moved to sit down behind his desk and punched up an inquiry on his computer terminal. "Let me check something. I think we might have some spare rooms by the hangar bay, but I'm not quite sure." All was silent in the room for a few moments as the Jedi headmaster punched up some data on his terminal.
"Master Kam?" a voice interrupted the silence.
"Yes Tahiri, what is is?"
"Would it be alright if I didn't stay with the rest of the students?" the young Jedi asked. "I'd like to stay with everyone here, if you have the space."
"Of course," Kam answered. "You won't have your own quarters, but space is kind of limited all over the base. Is that okay?" Tahiri nodded. Kam turned his attention to the boy sitting next to Tahiri. "I take it that you're Tarc?" The boy nodded. "You have your choice of where you want to stay. You can bunk with the Jedi students, or you can bunk with Jacen. Your choice."
"I'd like to stay with Jacen, sir," the young Anakin-look-alike answered.
"Okay, it looks like I've found you some rooms," Kam said, glancing at his computer screen. He stood and gestured toward the door. "If you'll follow me, I'll show you to your quarters and you can get settled in and get some rest." He exited his office, everyone following behind him. Once in the corridor, he continued. "Since you are part of our defense, I've put you as close as I can to hangar bay. The only people closer are Twin Suns Squadron."
After a moment of silence, Luke asked, "So how are the students doing, being cut off from civilization all the way out here?"
"Better than you would probably imagine," Kam answered. "Tionne still holds her history lessons, and even the non-Jedi children enjoy going to those. Streen teaches the younger students meditation and mind-blocking techniques. Kyp helps teach the older students how to wield their lightsabers effectively. I work with those ready to be apprenticed and help bring it all together before they're sent out with a Knight. I think that isolating them from the galaxy is helping them progress."
"And what about the non-Jedi children?" Leia asked, ever worried about everyone.
"You probably know that Mirax Horn is here, right?" Leia nodded. "Well, she's taken on the role of teacher and surrogate mother very well. And as I said before, everyone enjoys Tionne's history lessons."
Kam stopped before a door and turned to Lando and Tendra. "Here on the right will be your quarters. Leia and Han will be right across the corridor."
"Thank you," Han said, heading towards his room. "I can finally crash." Leia smiled and followed after her husband, while the Calrissian's headed towards their own quarters.
"Jacen and Tarc, you'll be next to them, and Taesa and Tahiri, you'll be right across the corridor," Kam continued. "Luke, you, Mara, and Ben will be next to them."
"Where's Jaina's room?" Jacen asked before heading to his room.
"Two down from yours," Kam answered. "Kyp and Jag are right next to you. She's on the other side of them."
"Thanks," Jacen said. He put an arm around Tarc's shoulders. "Come on, kid. Let's get settled in." The two entered their room and the young woman soon followed their example, leaving Kam and Luke alone in the corridor.
"Tionne is going to show Mara to your quarters, but I don't know how long that will be," Kam told his master. "She has a million questions about her pregnancy. She's talked to Mirax, but she wanted to talk to Mara too."
"It might be a while then," Luke said. "Mara is by no means a gossipy housewife, but she does enjoy talking about Ben." Both men laughed. "Might as well use this time to rest up."
"Sleep well, Master," Kam told Luke as the latter entered his room. Kam turned around and started heading towards his office. I sure hope Jag doesn't mind bunking with Kyp, he thought. But if he does, it'll just get the marriage out in the open sooner. Kam walked for a few moments, then thought, It's not like they have any choice anymore.
Notes: Short, and doesn't really have a purpose. But, this chapter will set up future chapters, so I hope you didn't mind this too much. Now, hit the little button down there and leave me a comment or two. Thanks!!
