As hard as one might try to think otherwise there were few things as soothing as the simple touch of another person’s hand on your shoulder. Her head gently bobbed up and down at the best-wishes on the test, Nora had a rather good feeling about it but the results had not yet been returned to her. The subject at the moment was a small collection of courses about some of the more fragile ecosystems around the galaxy and an overall look into the world of food webs. Perhaps not the most interesting of subjects, but a subject that she needed to read up on regardless. She was after all not the dean of biology. Yet.
A small smile spread on the Arkanian’s lips as she reached out to shake Nylea’s hand.
“Yeah, there’s a lot of people.” She felt as if she simply repeated the obvious, but perhaps it had to be stated anyway.
“Biology, looking to branch into virology and disease and the prevention of such.” There was no follow up question as to what Nylea did, as a new Jedi there were only so many things that Nora had noticed they seemed to do. Train and sleep. Granted, training in this case went beyond simply running the laps around the temple grounds, but they certainly did that too, Nora knew that much from her own morning runs around the grounds.
And she still couldn’t quite understand how it was that they could lift things with the power of their minds either. She had tried to do it herself when there was no one around and she had not seen success, not even once. It was confusing and utterly disappointing at the same time. The way some of them seemed able to speed across the fields at the blink of an eye was something to see as well. It certainly struck her as a particularly useful skill on some of the more lazier days on campus. Especially when the alarm didn’t go off and you missed half a class simply because of the distance you had to travel to get there.
She held back the sigh and nodded her head in response to Hazel and Nylea’s offer to follow them. Nylea continued talking and once more, Nora nodded without really saying much. At least not at first.
“Monastery is the second planet I have ever been to other than my home.” The girl shrugged. It was the cockiness of a girl who had not been hit by the full-force of homesickness yet. A third person approached and Nora gave them a small wave. Nylea seemed to know her as well. Perhaps she too was one of the Jedi, or some sort of Jedi acquaintance? It didn’t matter a whole lot, the girl had withdrawn her more sturdier, study-related pad from her belt and proceeded to grab the appropriate stylus for writing.
And then… Shouting. The girl’s grip on her pad tightened and she took a step back as if on reflex with a small nervous whine. She had no idea who the screaming man was, but he was not someone that seemed to be here in the interests of peace. She took yet another step back until eventually her head would just about pop out from behind the back of Doctor Zanteres.
“Who is that?” She whispered behind the doctor’s back.
“Will he be a problem?”
