Evaluation and Exhibition, With Cookies (IC)

[Ashin Varanin]

A good number of young Jedi Knights had expressed interest in taking students, and a good number of Padawans had expressed a desire for a Master. So far as Shule knew, he'd managed to invite all of them. The plan was to see them learning to work together. By the end of it, maybe there'd be a few more satisfied Master/Apprentice pairs.

The setting was Yavin Four, in an overgrown courtyard among the ruins, and the Neti Headmaster Eyal M'ti was watching. Shule glanced at her.

"Headmaster? Your thoughts?"

"Make it fun for them, Master Windspeaker."

It was widely claimed that Mirai Cookies were the finest cookies in the 'verse. What was less well known was that the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin Four had an actual refreshments budget. Mirai cookies and blue milk sat on a table at the edge of the courtyard. Toward the middle, training remotes swirled in circles, and an area had been cleared for sparring if anyone wanted to do that -- or challenge a professor, alone or in a group.

"Welcome," said Shule. "Today's goal is to let the Knights and their potential students get to know each other. If you need to show off, do it. If you need to eat cookies and milk and share anecdotes about the Grandmaster, do it. Be safe, have fun, and if any or all of you want to take a swing at me for subjecting you to a social engagement, the sparring ring is right over there."

He'd also invited his own Padawan, [member="Lissa Solusar"], to continue her training in the aftermath of Dantooine's evacuation.

Oh, cookies? How delightful.

She'd examine the cookies on the table, her hands clasped behind her back as she looked around cautiously and then back to the cookies - Oh, there was no doubt her mother had eyes around this place. [member="Aaralyn Gyndar"] was a resourceful women, even when she wasn't around. She had to have eyes around here, she only rewarded sweets when training was complete and Mira hadn't done any training. [member="Aton Gyndar"] wasn't present - that was odd, maybe he got a Master already? Oh that wouldn't be cool if he got one before she did...he'd rub it in her face somehow.

She could hear the whispers and discussions between several members - to which Mira appeared relieved that they were distracted.

Now, it was time to take a cookie and some milk - maybe no one would notice one or two before she got into talking to prospective Masters...

Cookies were always a good thing. You could never go wrong with them.

But that wasn't the only reason why he was here. He was in search of another apprentice and what better place than a gathering? Not only that, but maybe he could make acquaintances with some of the Masters lurking about as well. He could knock down two birds with one stone! The larger his social circle the better.

He would greet several people on his way towards the table of refreshments. On his way there he took note of the blond hair girl, who looked no older than seventeen or something, or maybe she could be older. He didn't know.

"You have a penchant for cookies too, huh?" He chuckled, while grabbing a napkin and a few cookies. He then took a bite out of one, smiling at Mira.

Had she grown up in even a semi-normal environment Ana may have known what cookies and the various treats on the table were but she didn't. The Mandalorians didn't exactly have tea time so that hadn't been apart of her introduction to the galaxy classes. Social settings themselves unnerved her so cookies for her did nothing but make everything even more awkward than it already was.

Taking a deep breath she walked across the room and picked up one of the round treats which looked to have chocolate inside or maybe not. Ana wasn't sure but it looked as if it was chocolate. Lightly she sniffed it before breaking off a piece to put in her mouth.

The young woman knew she looked weird doing so but she hoped that didn't scare away any potential Padawans.

Mira blinked a few times and turned to Gareth before shrugging. "Sort've, mom doesn't allow sweets and such until training is done." She gestured as she picked up a cookie and tossed it into the air before catching it. She'd bring it to her mouth and take a bite of the tasty treat, savoring the flavor before swallowing. Her eyes would close as she hummed a soft sound of satisfaction before taking a side step away from [member="Gareth Yalthik"]. "Dad, however, sneaks us stuff from time to time." She chuckled and finished off the cookie and brushed her hands together, smiling wide with a mouth full of the deliciousness that was a cookie. She'd make her way to the setup of blue milk, getting a cup and washing down the remnants of the baked goods.

Not a bad little setup - she had to admit, however, she had a sense of nervousness about herself.

Maybe because she didn't know any of these people and didn't quite feel a connection? Was that normal? She sort've wished her mother was there, or even her father. Hell, even Master [member="Kian Karr"] or someone she had met a few times before.

An icebreaker, one would call it.

Hmm, cookies? She would've never thought there would be cookies...for a second she wasn't sure where she had taken steps into. Was this a training session or just a social event for the Padawans and their prospective Masters? Leave it to her Master to make things....different yet effective.

She made her way over to the small snacks once she saw the crowd disperse a bit. It was too crowded in the beginning. Her eyes opened wider for a moment while she analyzed the treats before her.

"Mirai cookies? Hm." She threw one into her mouth and began to chew. While she did that she shrugged her shoulders and turned around to rest her eyes upon everyone else.
