“Good,” Jun said with a kind smile. “Really good, actually. My last assignment was to collect living samples from a planet with trees and grass.” Her eyes widened in mock surprise as she giggled over the situation. She’d heard that the other Padawans thought she was too serious and analytical. It was something she’d been trying to learn how to change.

Hopefully it wasn’t something Aiden had observed as well. She didn’t really care what the other Padawans thought of her at the end of the day - or what most people thought, really - but Aiden’s perception of her was important. She eyed him for a moment, focusing on his life rather than her own.

“How are you? You seem much happier than the last time I saw you. How’s your wound healing up?” She swallowed, not wanting to drudge up too much negativity.

“How’s your family doing?”

<I think taking Rayia on a hunt is a good idea. It'll give us time to bond, and she can exercise her control.> Taam commented between bites in their native tongue. Many of the guests gathered around the cooked meat, and the two voracious Cathars had to step aside to allow others to get their share of the delicious barbeque.

The most curious Vulpesen drew near as well, likewise casually carving away his own piece of seared flesh with a dagger. The canine Zorren greeted Jonyna, but offered Taam only a fleeting glance. The big Cathar didn't take offense, he had been working outside of the Order for years, wandering on his own under the sensors. He was an unknown to many. It could have been a snub, or it could have been a protective caution over an acquaintance. Taam knew that Zorren were strongly instinctive protectors.

"I... would like that. In fact, I'll hold you to it,"

Miss Jonyna," he greeted as he approached the jedi and her apparent date, his eyes darting momentarily between the two. "Good to see you've taken some time off to rest and relax."

Jonyna smiled, nodding. "How bout next week then? We can head back to <Cathar> and go jungle diving. I can use it as a chance to finally teach Rayia how to tree surf." Jonyna paused, her eyes wandering over to Vulpesen. Her bright smile faded into annoyance, her tail flicking an instinctively grabbing for Taam's hand. "...hey Vulpes. What're you doing here?"

[Vulpesen]

Briefly, a brow rose at Jonyna's turn of attitude, the cathar seeming to border on hostility at his approach. Of course, he couldn't quite blame her. His relationship with the Jedi knight was, to say the least, strained. Then of course, he noticed that she reached for her companion, furhter illuminating her relationship to the maned male that had accompanied her to the party. A part of Vulpesen wished to make some snide remark regarding the jedi order and their supposed refusal of passion, but he doubted such a joke would be well received by current company,

"Enjoying the food," he said instead, wolfing down a large bite of the meat that he had procured. "Even after a few decades, I'm not sure I'll get used to the appetite that was given to me after the trials." Remembering his manners, Vulpesen turned to Taam and offered him a bright smile, his tail flicking behind him at the prospect of meeting another of his jedi allies. "I don't believe we've been introduced. Archon Vulpesen Torrevaso of the Veran Wilders."

As the trio conversed, Taam felt Jonyna's hand reach for his. The male Cathar instinctively took it, entwining his fingers with hers. His partner's questioning of the purpose of this Vulpes' presence suggested he was unexpected. It was clear that something about the Zorren put his mate on edge. While keen to know what it was, Taam resolved to be cautiously civil until he had learned more about the man.

"Taam Moghul." The Cathar knight replied with a slight bow, refraining from announcing his rank or title. It was a practice taken on as he wandered, revealing his identity to only the most trusted. It was a habit he was still working on breaking. Vulpesen introduced himself as one of the Wilder, a Force tradition Taam had heard of, but knew little about. He had met precious few people from Veradune. Taam's gut told him there was more to this man than even his unusual tradition of using the Force.

“How’s your family doing?”

"That's great." Aiden spoke with a big smile. He was glad to hear things were going well for her. She had become one of his closest friends and good friends were hart to find these days. What she did mattered, he hoped that she knew that. Just as much as anyone else.

"How are you? You seem much happier than the last time I saw you. How's your wound healing up?"

"I am doing much better, better than I could've hoped for. You could say my hope has been restored, its kinda our family symbol. The fact that it was lost within me for a time was really defeating. But through much help and guidance it has returned. I want to thank you for that, you had a part to play in that." Aiden said he as nudged her shoulder slightly.

“How’s your family doing?”


"The family is doing really well. Mother is healing up and Dad is tending to her. Addison is doing good too, everyone just working on rebounding right now. "

The Padawan knew it was going to take time, and he knew what had happened to him.....

He could not let happen again. That was a personal vow he had taken, keep to his strength, trust the force and don't lose hope.

No matter what.

"I'm so glad to hear that," Jun said with a soft smile. She scooted closer and laid her head on his shoulder. "I was really worried about you. I don't- I don't have many friends in the Order," she admitted with a sigh. Jun was never the 'popular' one, and she certainly didn't want to be. There was enough drama in the galaxy between her Jedi duties, House Chiyo's intrigue, and the constant threat of war looming on the horizon. But she'd be remiss if she didn't admit that sometimes, her charge as a Padawan was lonely sometimes.

"I don't even have a Master yet," she continued. A watery haze blurred her vision, one which she was quick to wipe away with the back of her hand before Aiden could notice. When she was sure she wasn't going to sniffle, she went on. "Sometimes, I wonder if I'm meant to be a Jedi. If my parents made the right choice sending me away to study with the Order. But being there on Tatooine with you, helping to heal you - it made me realize that there's so much more to being a Jedi Padawan than I thought."

"I was really worried about you. I don't- I don't have many friends in the Order,"

Aiden leaned his head against hers that was on his shoulder. "I know, I'm sorry again." Aiden whispered, he hoped he would never have to put anyone through this sort of thing again. The darkness had dissipated and things were bright on the horizon. "Don't worry, you have me. And there are always people out there. They just haven't seen your light yet, you are an amazing person Jun." The Jedi padawan let out a deep breath as he put his arm around her just as her hand raised.

"I don't even have a Master yet,"

"Sometimes, I wonder if I'm meant to be a Jedi. If my parents made the right choice sending me away to study with the Order. But being there on Tatooine with you, helping to heal you - it made me realize that there's so much more to being a Jedi Padawan than I thought."

"Hey...." Aiden said as he gave her a gentle squeeze. "You are meant to be a Jedi, I wouldn't have made it through Tatooine without you. You helped me, healed me." There is a lot to being a Jedi, his father had reminded him of this fact many times. The perseverance and drive to push through and those that were there beside you made all the difference.

"I didn't think the Jedi Path was right for me, I was thought I was supposed to be a healer. However things have changed and I have had to adapt." He chuckled slightly and laid back on the grass with his hands resting on his chest.

"I believe in you." Aiden said with a smile as he looked her way. "You believe in me right?"

Jun nodded, smiling. He was right. If she wasn't meant to be here, if she wasn't meant to be a Jedi, then why had fate so perfect aligned for them to meet on Tatooine? She was there for a reason. He was here for a reason. Jun nestled into his shoulder a bit more as his warmth matched the feeling of content in her mind. "I believe in you, she said. Thank you."

After a moment, she rolled flat on her back, hands resting on her stomach as she eyed the clear Alderaanian sky above them. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful, as if the galaxy had taken a brief pause to rest. It made her feel like things would look up for her soon, and she hoped that Aiden would be a part of whatever path the Force would carry her on.
