Meeting someone New.

" well i really don't have anything except what i keep with me all the time " Rano said looking around " I do want to learn though" He said with a small smile.

[member="Marcello Matteo"]
 
Marcello looked up from his datapad as [member="Rano"] offered his response. Arching a curious eyebrow, the Jedi Master pocketed the datapad. "Let us proceed, then." As he took steps forward, the Jedi Master reached for a communicator and dialed in the frequency for the Praxeum-ship that was in system. "Captain, deploy a transport to the outskirts. Fix the encrypted position of my starfighter. I'm bringing aboard a new initiate."

There was a brief silence. "Order dispatched, Master Matteo."

Exhaling softly, Marcello motioned for the boy to keep pace as he re-entered the street and began guiding them out of the city. Approximately twenty minutes later, they came to a clearing on the outskirts of the city. The gleaming N-1T sat nestled with engines idling courtesy of R9's forward-leaning personality. Turning his head to Rano, Marcello gave a brief command. "Wait here."

Two large steps and a twenty-foot leap carried the Jedi Master onto the lip of the starfighter. Sitting on the edge of the cockpit, Marcello reached in and depressed several buttons to focus the communications and sensor array. Turning his glacier-blue gaze back to Rano, Marcello shouted at the boy. "Shield your face!" Not a second later, a massive assault shuttle nosed just over the tree tops at the edge of the clearing and flared into an abrupt landing. Once the ramp had extended, two other Jedi, identified by traditional Jedi Robes that Marcello never wore, stepped down and ushered Rano aboard. Marcello gave the boy a reassuring nod as he settled into the cockpit of his own starfighter.

In less than thirty seconds, both spacecraft were rocketing for orbit. Twenty minutes later they were docking aboard the Kenobi-class Praxeum. Descending from the cockpit of his own spacecraft, Marcello quickly made his way to Rano. Once the boy had exited the shuttle, he motioned for the boy to follow. "Had much space travel experience, Rano?"

" none honestly, I've lived here my whole life" Rano responded as he walked alongside Marcello. " This is a whole new thing for me, but honestly i'm looking forward to something new in my life." he said with a smile.
 
Marcello nodded slightly as they stepped into the main corridor. "That will change rather quickly. We are enroute to Ossus at this time - where your training will begin in earnest. There is a great deal of knowledge available on this vessel for all those that wish it. You will see many Jedi engaged in various activities. We use the Praxeums like mobile training platforms...and for the occasional mission."

Arriving at a lift, Marcello depressed the down button. When a lift arrived, he stepped inside and waited for [member="Rano"] to join him. Once the doors had closed, the Jedi Master continued speaking. "I'm taking you down to the training level. There are several terminals there which will give you a good overview of the history of the Force, the Jedi, and to a lesser extent the Sith. This base of knowledge is absolutely required before we can move forward. The journey should take...a couple days. Save your questions for our arrival."

After the lift came to a stop, Marcello stepped off and guided Rano to a room with several computer terminals. Motioning to the interior of the room, the Jedi Master gave the hopeful, the would-be-initiate a stern look. "You will find temporary berthing quarters at the end of the hall. The mess hall is one level up on the lift. Good luck."

Marcello had just thrown the boy into the deep end. Time to see if he could swim. Turning, Marcello departed to tend to other matters on the command deck.

Rano sighed and walked over to one of the computers and sat down ~ not really sure how this thing works.. ah guess i'll figure it out~ he thought as he began working on figuring it out. it took him a good bit but after he did he started reading the stuff.
 
Two Days Later

The Praxeum-class vessel settled into low orbit over Ossus at the pre-determined time. Marcello was already aboard a transport shuttle with his apprentice [member="Rano"] when the Praxeum had sounded Flight Quarters for all arriving and departing flights. The Jedi Master knew that the training ship would not remain in orbit for long, so he would have to allow R9 to pilot the modified N-1T back to the surface for him. In the meantime, Marcello gazed intently at his...newest apprentice.

Having purposefully avoided Rano for the duration of the trip to ascertain how he would cope, the Jedi Master spoke to the boy for the first time in two days. "How did you find the trip, and what did you learn?"

((OOC: Just give a generic answer about learning...random force stuff. You got it.))
 
[member="Marcello Matteo"]

" a little bit about the force and stuff.. i've never used a computer before so i had to figure that out to" Rano said glancing at him for a moment " but it was all very interesting and i enjoyed reading it" he added

(( Damn sorry, what i get when I dream about posting at night i think i already did o_O ))
 
((OOC: No worries - I've been busy anyways))

Marcello afforded [member="Rano"] a very subtle nod of the head. "A little bit." The Jedi Master restated the comment more out of amusement than anything. Those were the only words he uttered, however, until they arrived planetside at the Temple and walked the handful of corridors to the dormitory area.

Stopping at an open door, Marcello motioned inside. "The padawans stay on this level and the two above it. This room here is yours. You'll find there are some Jedi Robes inside...should be roughly your size. Get cleaned up, dressed, and then come find me in the Council Chambers." Without waiting for a reply, Marcello turned and departed.

Roughly five minutes later, he stepped into what once served as the Jedi Council Chambers. Now that there was no Council...it was just a room that various Masters of the Order used for meetings and what not. Gazing out the bank of windows, Marcello clasped his hands behind his back. He'd dispatched a message to [member="Kiskla Grayson"] to join them, but he would proceed without her were she not planetside and available.

Rano nodded and walked into his room and got himself cleaned up before he changed, after that he left his room and want to meet Marcello. Rano's blond hair was still shaggy and messy as it always was but no matter what he did with it it would go right back to the was.
 
As much as Ossus was not her favourite place to be, Kiskla was finding herself anchored to this planet more and more. Ossus was sometimes fine, because it turned out to be a hub of activity to The Order. And convenient in most instances. Like today!

Normally, she was timely in her responses, but when it came to requests from [member="Marcello Matteo"] her partiality exposed itself an increment more. Plus, the content of his notification was applicable to the progress of her own student, who was nearer and nearer to promotion every day. He just had to learn a little more responsibility, and this was an excellent roadway to succession. So, when [member="Johnny Diamonds"] finished his hour in the mind maze on focus, she requested that he join her, Marcello and [member="Rano"] in the former council chambers.
The room spoke discipline to her — every time she was in it, there was some sort of action being taken that scolded another individual.

Her unconcealed signature would announce her presence long before the soft click of her soles. Of course, by comparative size, eyes first fell to the massive frame of Master Matteo, followed suit by the more boyish build of the young Padawan. Thankfully, she’d received the information on naming before walking into this death trap of introductions.

“Master Matteo, Padawan Rano —“ Okay, introductions over, attention to the impressionable “-Is this your first time to Ossus, Rano?"
 
Marcello was mostly silent once [member="Rano"] had entered the chambers. Swiftly, glacier-blue eyes surveyed his appearance before giving a curt nod of approval. After all, first impressions were the hardest to break. The Jedi Master mostly gave [member="Kiskla Grayson"] a thin smile by way of greeting. Fortunately, she quickly redirected her attentions to the young boy that had just arrived on Ossus with Marcello.

Turning, the large Naboo native stepped back over to the bank of windows, gazing out at the horizon as the Grandmaster conversed with the newest Padawan. Commensurate with his personality, Marcello's mind was already crawling over objectives still yet to be completed and the variety of paths that could be taken to them.
 
[member="Kiskla Grayson"] [member="Marcello Matteo"]

Rano bowed his head slightly in greeting before he smiled " Hello, and yes.. this is the first time i have been here" he responded looking at her with his blue eyes " It's nice to meet you" He added holding out his hand and continued to smile.
 
It was in that instant that Kiskla realized she’d forgotten to introduce herself. She’d grown accustomed to her reputation proceeding her and merely dropped right into the custom salutations and small talk.

Reactively, she took his hand in a firm shake and then of course dropped it as one tended to do when they were done with customary hand shakings. “How long have you been here? Had any time to learn anything yet?”

[member="Kiskla Grayson"]

" I just really got here, so i don't know much about the place. But i did do some reading about the Jedi and the force on the way here" Rano responded to her questions.
 
Marcello's glacier-blue gaze gradually turned away from the large window as [member="Kiskla Grayson"] addressed @Rano. Casually, the Jedi Master took a few steps closer to the two that were conversing until he stood beside Kiskla at a comfortable distance. Clasping his hands behind his back, he settled his gaze on the young boy. Despite his calm, attentive veneer, Marcello's thoughts wandered astray every now and then.

Not enough for his awareness of the present conversation to diminish to any appreciable degree.
 
Kiskla forced herself not to cast a glance in [member="Marcello Matteo"]'s direction -- one that would communicate a handful of things. But perhaps silence would do that in kind.

"Well, since you are in a Jedi temple, why don't you share what you learned so we can build on what you know and train you to be like some of the Jedi you read about?" She straightened, and brushed at imaginary dust on her thighs. "That's what this temple is for, after all. Expanding knowledge."
