Peace, no matter how temporary, was something to be appreciated.
The battle of Exegol had been horrific, as all battlefields typically were. Caedyn Arenais was a skilled combatant when it came to combatting the Sith and those who would impose on the free will and wellbeing of others, yet his values didn't see such times come without great apprehension and regret. Every life he had been forced to take weighed on him. He had, in the past, even taken several years off in order to right himself in the quiet of Mnemosyne, serving as a mere caretaker for the Jedi Temple Grounds there; and while he remained steadfast in his commitment and faith in his role today, the tragedy of war continued to be held close within his personal reflections and personal down-time.
Today on the other hand was a return to the pleasantries of Temple Life. The Jedi Knight strolled down one of the numerous corridors of the grand Jedi Temple of Coruscant, passing students and mentors alike, bidding them warm greetings as he did so. Life on Coruscant was wonderful. Caedyn enjoyed holding lessons for the new generations of Jedi Students, one day leading by example as prospective Jedi Knights in the future. The eagerness of the youth to learn and become gifted practitioners of the Force was something Caedyn always found encouraging and admirable. Some were too young to understand the nature of the Galaxy beyond the Temple walls, but others like his Padawan

In fact, there were days when the students made Caedyn feel old. Something he hadn't expected as he considered himself to still be fairly young himself. He had a wealth of experience, sure, yet he hadn't been prepared to feel as though he were among the older generation of Jedi just yet. He was, after all, only thirty-eight. The Force had been kind to Caedyn, despite the more violent of experiences he had witnessed along his path. He had not only survived unlike some of his old friends and colleagues, but thanks to the assistance of his parents' legacy, he had the financial backing to truly make a mark on the galaxy through organizations such as Lifeline Connect LTD. He had served all across the Galactic Map over the years, first as a Je'daii and later as part of the Outer Rim Coalition, the Rimward Trade league, the Order of the Silver Jedi, and finally moving on to the New Jedi Order of today. One certainly could not argue that the path of a Jedi was one of exploration and vivid experiences.
Today, however, Caedyn had a fairly free schedule. He had been granted some time off due to his participation on the war front and with there being no classes to instruct for the next seven days, he was glad to simply be among the Jedi of Coruscant once more, walking and talking with those who so wished to do so.
