35th day, 3rd month, standard year 24935
Today, news reached the Temple that Muven had died on a mission with Savus. I couldn't believe it. Savus and Muven were together for what...about 33 days? Why would the Force be that cruel?

But the Force isn't a cruel thing. It's....I....I don't feel like writing.

3rd day, expansion week, standard year 24935
Savus has been in the healer's wing, and today
he came out. In the cafeteria at lunchtime, Tahl pointed him out to me.
He looked so different. Older.
"We ought to talk to him," Tahl said.
I nodded.. "Okay."
So we went and sat down next to him. He ignored us.
"Savus?" Tahl ventured.
Still silence.
"Savus?" Tahl said, slightly louder. She doesn't like being ignored.
Savus turned around and looked at her. He was looking at her like you'd look at a maggot. "What?"
"I wanted to say...." She had no idea what she wanted to say, so she took the safest route. "Sorry."
There was more silence, so Tahl shrugged her shoulders slightly and was about to stand up. Then Savus turned and glared at her. It was a mad sort of glare.
"Would people stop saying that to me!"
Tahl opened her mouth to speak, but he carryed on, silencing her.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry! I'm SICK of it!" (Actually, the language he was using was a bit more...colourful.)
"So just go away, you stupid slut! Go act like a snot to someone else!"
Tahl gawped, the whole cafeteria gawped, and as Savus stood up Tahl sprang at him. In less than a second he was slammed to the floor, and in another second they were properly wrestling.
(Tahl doesn't look dangerous. She looks like she has a temper and a sharp tongue- and she does- but you wouldn't think she'd be able to slam you into the floor and pummel you. She can.)
She shoved him into a table and a plate fell off and shattered. I ran to them and tried to seperate them....and wound up on the floor with my nose bleeding.
"STOP IT!" I screamed, and then Master Vione, a Council member, clamped a claw on my shoulder, and Tahl and Savus got up....or were pulled up...glaring daggers at each other.
-----
All three of us...and Master Dooku and Master Thea...had to stand before the Council and explain ourselves.
"I let me temper get the better of me, Masters," Tahl said, kneeling low. "I will not let it happen again and I seek your forgivness."
"Forgiven you are, Padawan Wildstar," Yoda said. (Hey. He's a poet and he didn't realise.) He turned his attention to me. "And your part in this, tell us, Padawan Jinn."
"He didn't do anything." Tahl said before I could open my mouth. "It was all me..."
"He can speak for himself, my young apprentice." Thea put in crossly.
I looked Yoda in the eye. "I tried to stop them, Master. I tried to step in but got....er...punched in the nose. And then I screamed at them to stop."
"I see," Master Kiloxan said thoughtfully. I glanced at Tahl, but she didn't notice. I seriously hoped that I hadn't said what I'd just said in such a way that it made me look like the hero of that episode.
"Padawans?" Vione said. We looked at her. Yoda looked at her. Maybe they'd been having a telepathic conversation.
"Tahl, as punshment for your lack of control, you will work in the creche for a week. And when you have spare time, you will meditate on how to keep a hold of your temper."
Tahl nodded and bowed.
"I'll go with her." I voluteered. Tahl smiled and Vione nodded.
"That would be much appreiciated. You are all dismissed...except you, Savus."
We exited. I turned around and saw Savus Savus listening to Vione, looking like he either wanted to throw her out of the window, or himself.
