After taking another sip of tea, Valae set the cup back down on the saucer. She glanced thoughtfully at Faith as she mentioned her brother, Theodosius. Searching her memories, she could not recall ever meeting anyone with that name before.
“I’m sorry, Faith…” She started, “I haven’t met him before, but that doesn’t mean he’s not around. I’ll get the word out.” Valae added with an encouraging smile. “We are settling in just fine, it seems. Now that the temple is complete, things really seem to be coming together.”
The Grandmaster’s attention shifted to Camellia and Count Teraan. No doubt, there was quite a lot of curiosity surrounding Voss. After all, the Silvers had been stationed there for so long.
“The decision to leave Voss was one that we weighed heavily for some time,” She nodded; it had not been a snap decision by any means. “Voss was quite the beacon of light for that sector – we recognized that it was time to spread the light to other worlds. And you are right, Count Teraan -- the Voss were ready to take over once more. It was time for a change; the Order is growing and changing as well. We hoped to forge new bonds here in the core,” Glancing to her companions, she smiled. “Bonds just like this one.”
But the deep voice of Garith drew her attention next. The displeasure he felt at being in the room could easily be felt. Valae’s heart gave a small leap, but she remained calm – at least, on the outside. Indeed it could be difficult to let go of the past, especially when it held painful memories. It seemed that the intimidating man was working through this dilemma. But time had a way of changing things.
Standing slowly, she closed the gap between her and Garith.
“The Silver Jedi are willing to try,” She said, gently extending her hand for him to shake. “Make no mistake; we do not aim to be the aggressors. In fact, while I cannot promise there will not be conflicts in the future, I can assure you that we will not be going on the opposition any time soon. As we start new here on Kashyyyk, we only wish to defend our people – just as you wish to do for your own.”
