"I- okay. I don't- I don't want to rest anymore."

Loomi was very happy to hear this. Maybe it was a little selfish of her. Right now that didn't really matter. Her friend was back and would be staying around. That was enough for her. The Godoan finally stepped back, giving Aliris the space she no doubt needed after the length of her hug. It was very good to finally have her back.

"R-right," Loomi sighed with an awkward smile, rubbing at her neck. "I'll let you get ready then. Th-there's an orientation right now, and Braze should be there. I'll meet you there okay?"

Mica arrived a little late.

Still struggling to adjust to her new life as a Jedi on Coruscant, Mica found solace in her training; the constant distraction of lightsaber drills, the deeper sleep she got after exhausting days in the training room, and the feeling of progress measured by the soreness of her muscles. Unfortunately, youthful vigor and mild dissociation could only fuel her so much. Some of her instructors suggested she relax, get away for a bit. Attending the Veridian Academy orientation and spending some time there would be good for her, they said. Well, they probably knew best.

Mica drifted quietly into the grand auditorium. She could immediately feel a buzz of chatter and energy amongst the attendees. There were a lot of Jedi here, obviously, but none looked familiar. She didn't really know anyone, anyway. But there was still plenty of time to remedy that.

Situated in the back of the hall, the young padawan leaned her small frame on an elegantly sculpted pillar. As she waited for the ceremony to begin, her tummy began to rumble. Mica looked around curiously, even standing on her tippy-toes to get a better view of her surroundings. Weren't there supposed to be snacks at these kinds of things? She would kill for an Adarian-style donut and a cup of caf right now.

Tirin smiled as he watched the two girls. He was overjoyed to have Aliris back, and even more so to have been lucky enough to witness her waking up. He knew he would have to ensure she was alright and check for any lingering effects on her psyche from the traumatic experience, but for now, he was happy to let them just be kids and enjoy their time together.

Tirin made sure the place was tidied up, and once Aliris was ready, he led her out of the newly minted medical facility she'd been staying in and into the courtyards. The place had undergone major developments and was now abuzz with activity. He led her to the auditorium, walking with the two girls in tow.

"We can celebrate this evening and have a nice dinner for you, Aliris," Tirin assured her. "You can also pick out your own room within the temple as you see fit," he added with a warm smile. "I'm sure you girls will enjoy making it into a cozy little home."

Once they had settled in, Tirin approached his colleagues and greeted them all fondly, thanking them for their attendance and support. He smoothed down his robes before stepping up to greet and welcome the new students, introducing himself as the Headmaster of the academy.

"Welcome, Padawans, to the Viridian Jedi Academy. Today marks the beginning of a journey that will shape you into the Jedi Knights you are destined to become. You have taken your first steps into a larger world, and it is our privilege as instructors to guide you."

He paused, letting his words settle before continuing.

"At this academy, you will learn the ways of the Force—the importance of unity, discipline, and compassion. Together, we will create a community that supports each other through both trials and triumphs. The Force flows through each of us and connects all living things. It is what binds us, and through it, we will find our strength."

He looked over the gathered Padawans with a reassuring smile.

"Trust your Masters, trust each other, and most importantly, trust yourselves. Believe in your intuition, be confident in your abilities, and understand that you can overcome any challenge. Look to your fellow Padawans for friendship and support, as our relationships will make us stronger. This journey will be challenging, but it will provide you with the opportunity to grow in wisdom, bravery, and attunement to the Force."

Tirin gestured toward the other instructors.

"I am honored to introduce myself as Headmaster Tirin. Now, I will give the floor to my fellow instructors, who are just as eager to welcome you and share their wisdom. May the Force be with you, always, as you embark on this journey."

 

[Braze]

Jackie Rosso

Braze smiled at Jackie. "That's okay, you don't need to worry too much about making a big name for yourself. You can take things one step at a time. If you ever wanna learn a thing or two about sparring, I'd be—"

He paused, his eyes dilating as his words caught in his throat. Something shifted in the air, an unfamiliar but unmistakable feeling. It couldn't be… could it? Without thinking, his hand moved to the Eshan charm around his neck—the same charm that matched the one Aliris Tremiru had. It glowed softly, and in that moment, he wondered if hers might be glowing too.

Braze shifted uneasily in his seat, his attention snapping away from Jackie as he looked around, scanning the room. His voice dropped to a murmur, tinged with sadness. "I don't see her…" His words hung in the air as he clutched the charm tighter, his brow furrowing. It felt too real, too different to be something he'd imagined.

He glanced around again, his expression flickering with a hint of anxiety before he forced himself to refocus. "Sorry… uh… I thought I felt someone familiar nearby." His voice was steadier now, though a note of hesitation lingered. "But yeah, if you need help with anything, I'd be happy to help. Do you know where you wanna set up your bunk? Or what section you want a room in?"

 

[Aliris Tremiru]

Braze was there?

Aliris smiled softly as she nodded to Loomi. It'd be good to see Braze again, to see them both. Her gaze shifted to Tirin as she nodded once, giving him a brighter smile. Picking her own room? "So long as there's no bacta tanks, yeah?" She joked before she did finally get up to get ready, draping a robe over the medsuit she'd been wearing. She'd change out of that later, probably. Part of her was sure the robot monitor in the corner of the room was still glaring daggers at all of them.

She followed Tirin, her gaze traveling over the unfamiliar temple. It was warm here. Cozy. And- Aliris paused for a moment, her gaze fixating on something. She saw something shifting. Something that didn't match the warmth. But it was fleeting, it seemed, as it was gone the moment she looked. Her brow furrowed, but the moment she was asked if she was alright she glanced back and nodded.

A side effect of the coma, perhaps. That was fine. She didn't want to be put back in the medical wing so soon. Especially since as she gripped the charm around her neck she could feel the connection.

She stepped into the room, eyes wide as she scanned through the crowd. Where was he? Her gaze paused once she did find him. Silver hair, green eyes. Older looking now. Taller. A pained expression took over for a moment, regret that she had been asleep for so long before overwhelming joy at seeing her friend safe and sound. So, she ran, sprinting right for Braze.

Only to trip the last couple of feet. Her legs weren't completely hers again yet.
