Ayhan hadn't known Corellia had any beaches. All he'd known about the planet was its status as a factory world. Dreary grey skies, grey buildings, smog and trash-littered streets had always come to mind. Not this long white beach, or orange-pink sky as the sun set beyond the horizon.
The sand was warm beneath his feet. Ayhan was barefooted on the beach, despite still wearing his Jedi garments. The Firronthix didn't own anything else, except his lightsaber, which he also wore on his belt. Somehow, Mahsa had managed to get her hands on some swimwear, probably with the help of Zaiya or Aris, but Ayhan hadn't been so fortunate. Others seemed to have also managed to procure their own swimwear as well, and had even begun to jump into the water for a swim.
Or to drown. The way the blue-haired boy floundered and flailed made it kind of hard to tell, but he was loud enough that Ayhan was more or less forced to pay some amount of attention to him. Ayhan turned to look at the boy just in time to watch him wave at Mahsa. The corner of his mouth twitched.
The cool water suddenly lapping at his feet shocked Ayhan out of whatever state he'd been in, and he sunk even deeper into the sand. Everything he knew about the ocean, it's waters, it all came from the vat-teachings. And the books Mahsa used to tell him about. And in all those, the ocean's waters were always
warm. This was definitely not warm.
Ayhan just hoped no one had been paying enough attention to him to notice his flinch at the water's touch. Looking around, most looked preoccupied with something. Chatting, drowning, saving people from drowning. Except one. She looked younger than Ayhan and Mahsa. Well, technically, she was older than both of them, probably around Aris' age, but that was too confusing to actually think about, let alone explain. But she looked as scared and nervous as Ayhan felt. Which really left the Padawan with only one option.
Ayhan walked straight for the girl. Fierce frown on his face, brows furrowed in what could only be annoyance and frustration, he stopped just in front of her, towering over her.
"Is it okay if I stand here with you?"
