I'm better now. I was sick all day yesterday. Amiri made food...she's a really good cook. She talked about my Master.

"He may look cold and uncaring....trust me, that's what I thought he was like. But I couldn't have been more wrong."

"Yes," I said. "He seems different around you...."

"He's like that." she said with a shrug. "We're like brother and sister."

"How come he never told me about you?"

"Oh., I don't know...he likes keeping secrets. Can't help it. Daft man."

Amiri left today. Ran out giggling after a mock arguement with my Master.

They remind me a lot of me and Tahl....Maybe it should've been Amiri who took Tahl as Padawan. They'd get on so much better then Tahl and Thea.

Alex still hasn't sent any reply. I'm not sure he's going to. I just really hope he does.

He wrote back!

Dear Qui-Gon and Tahl

Kini is safe with me. We're both going away, somewhere where there will be no earthquakes or tyrants looking to kill us. Our mother is dead now- we're all the family that's left. I thought I was the only one. I was so relived to know I wasn't.
Thank you.

--Alex.
