Part 9
A Time to Go
It was late when the meeting ended, the streets were dark when three cloaked figures reunited. The smallest and only female in the group stood between the master and the apprentice almost fearing the pending conversation. Yet the rebuke for the actions of the two youth never came. Instead the elder of the group embraced the you man, nothing said about the last few weeks.
As soon as they could the group boarded a starship to return to Corascaunt.

"it will be a few hours till we reach Corascaunt." Obi-Wan said from behind Teevea.
She turned around and smiled at him, "I can't say I liked the situation that brought us together but I am glad to have met you."
"I agree." he said his voice becoming merrier as the conversation progressed.
Their conversation soon became one filled with laughter and mirth. Before either new time had passed they found themselves moments away from Corascaunt.
"So I guess this is it." Teevea said. The fact that she did not want to leave was written on her face.
"Yea, guess so." Obi-Wan said with the same dishearten expression as his companion.
With a great deal of uncertainty he grabbed her arm and pulled her close. He tipped her head up and kissed her. The kiss was pure and innocent. They broke apart and inhaled deeply. Teevea looked at him and smiled.
They both heard Qui-Gon call for them. The pair picked up their bags and began to disembark. Obi-Wan walked down the ramp first then turned back and extended his had to the only remaining person. Teevea took the offered hand and gave the owner one last smile before falling into the more stoic roll of a Jedi.
Both Master Yoda and Master Windu were there to meet them. As the apprentices approached the three masters turned to greet them.
"Teevea Lyn speak to you I must." said Master Yoda. "Soon it must be."

The meeting with Yoda took place later that evening.
"How fare you?" Yoda asked.
"Better then when we spoke last master. Master Qui-Gon and his apprentice, Obi-Wan have helped a great deal." She answered.
"Ready are you for your next assignment the council believes." the green JedI informed.
"I agree"
"That is why the title of knight the council gives you."
With bowed head she said, "Thank you, master."
