Master and I were sent on negotiations. They lasted only two days. Master always gets sent on negotiations. He's good at getting people to see his point of view.

3rd day, expansion week, standard year 24936
Today I was wandering down the corridor...I was going to meditiation class. And Dilan was lurking in one of the corridors, no Savus, no Vulna...and he looked at me and sneered. I ignored him, so he just came right right up to me and said "Where's your girlfriend, then?"
"I don't have a girlfriend, thank you."
"Oh yeah, what about that stupid mad little rat, Tahl..."
"She is none of things, and you don't sound in the least like a Jedi," (At the same time as saying this, I was struggling to stop myself from saying some seriously rude things to him)
"You're not much of a Jedi either," he said nastily. "More of a Dark Jedi with a Dark Jedi Master...who died..." he added. My breath left me. He smirked. He knew he'd gotten to me. I loathed that smirk.
""Go away, you little-" and I dropped in a few of Tahl's swear words for good measure. I shoved past him...but he whirled round so he was in front of me again.
"And back to you," he hissed. "Your dead Master's rubbed of on you, Jinn....you're dangerous. My Master thinks so. The whole Council thinks so..." And he walked away. I felt like running after him and tackling him to the ground...and maybe taking out my lightsabre and sticking it up his nose...but I knew that wasn't a particularly good idea.
I couldn't concentrate at all in meditation class.

6th day, 3rd month, standard year 24936
My birthday was yesterday. Me and my Master had been on another mission....it was really interesting, as well as other things, because we were on a planet where they have animals, tons and tons of animals...more animals than people..and this girl there, Revayune, showed me everything...on that planet (called Renfron) they have more rare species then any other planet in the galaxy...it was amazing. They have these tiny little things that look like miniture snakes but they're made up of mostly fire...they're called Frenliskas, and they're amazing...quite dangerous too, I think. They had a lot of dangerous things there...Revayune took me out to the ocean, and we had to wear all this protective gear...but we went quite far under and she showed me the sea creatures. There's things like fish that apparently can 'kill thirteen people with a single strike of it's fin' that's called a Ayolata fish...named after someone in Renfron myth who could kill anyone she liked just by touching them. And an amphibious creature that looks like, er, a dinner plate with six legs...it's called a Lohinan Frog and apparently it's really poisonous too...and it's truly vicious and goes for anything near it, whether on land or sea...I was incredibly nervous while we were near that one, but for some reason Revayune didn't seem to mind.
Well, it was really good. And my Master decided we could stay there for my birthday. The people on the planet were very grateful for what we'd done...we'd gotten rid of an immensely rich coperation that was sabotaging communication lines and charging billions for repairs. (And Revayune says that these people were polluting the waters too, and I think she was right, we found a lot of dead stuff) We spent my birthday exploring and looking for animals with Revayune...we found some tiny insects called Oticks that are rare even for Renfron (and guess what...they're poisonous). Revayune spent a lot of time telling us all these awful stories about people stung by one or more of these poisonous things and dying in agony...I think she was enjoying scaring my Master.
Master stopped off at a shop and bought me some insect-shaped sweets for my birthday present.
"They're not poisonous, are they?" I asked him brightly, and he decided he wouldn't eat any.
--------
Tahl gave me her present as soon as we got back. It was a holovid of a very popular movie that isn't available on holovid yet. (I don't know where she got it...) Binn is the only person I know who owns a holovision (actually, Dilan owns one, but if you think I'm going anywhere NEAR him you're wrong) so me and Tahl are going over there in a minute to watch it...
