The homecoming of the lost....

He'd been barely been in Voss a week and yet it seem a bit of boredom set in. As with the initial meet with Master Coci had seem gone well. He'd decided that day to maybe take a stroll and get a feel for the layout of the place. For even thought his memory had all been gone. Part him seem still felt oddly familiar with some the surrounding here. At any rate having woke up early by the same nightmare as before. Ronin figured to perhaps take a walk.Instead of going back to bed thought it was somewhat still early.

He just could get himself fall back to sleep and so. Turn towards the dresser on the side. He then began to change out his sleep cloth before heading out. Walking down the hall part him could not seem feel faint phantom brush against his mind. Thought they were hazy at best it seem feel. That one way or another something about it felt familiar. Calming at best so he continued on....walking onward till. Eventually he ends up in what seem be a fairly small meditation room. In which he enters and seeing no one around. Felt as if instinctual though not knowing why or how that he ends up. Sitting cross leg in the middle of the room. Close his eyes with his back to the door he began to let out a faint sight. As he sat there in silence alone for now....unaware of what was to happen next.

Where in though his eyes were still closed he began stand up. Raise a hand and soon felt a staff of some sort fly from its resting place on the wall. Towards his open hand and slowly but surely began himself feel take the staff in both hand. With his eyes close he began oddly enough to go thru the motion. Guided by nothing but the rhythm and pace his body seem to slowly fall into.

Karrus had approached the meditation chamber in something of a stupor, the night was still dragging on and it was now somewhat into the morning hours, the boy who wandered the halls barefooted once more found himself closing in on the room with the flat pillows and little else for comfort. He'd come to learn that this room had been for some sort of exercise where people took their seats, closed their eyes and remained silent. Meditation they'd called it though Karrus found it very hard not to look at them like they'd all been silly and played a joke on him, it perplexed the young lad to see it as anything more than sitting alone in the quiet, not doing anything.

This time however was not alike the other mornings where he'd managed to get in on his own and try to do whatever it was that the other Jedi considered was part of daily training and routine. [member="Ronin Wendigo"] stood within the room, a surprising wonder inspiring a barrage of questions within his own mind, silent and sure not to startle the other, Karrus watched him with something of a blank and sleep deprived look upon his face, his right hand holding the door frame to which he partially leaned against in his sleepy state of mind. The staff, (though Karrus didn't know what it was meant for), seemingly dislodged itself from the wall and flew into the grip of the other who the boy presumed was human like himself. His mouth dropped a little in further awe, doing his best not to let his gasp be heard; from there it seemed that Ronin would pursue a series of movements that to Karrus only seemed graceful and experienced, his head tilting marginally as he watched in both admiration and a slight sense of anxiety in hoping that he wasn't going to be intruding on the other.

It was then in the silence of the room he slowly began go thru the movement. Which for what its worth seem been uneven tempo at first with a seem wild shift. Between calm graceful movement to a more uptempo movement. Filled with seem such raw emotion of which his heart could only feel at that time but seem unable to express. Having but not long ago learn of his former Master fate. Of her death in the hands of another had all but filled him with. Such pain and sorrow as well pang of guilt.

That even thought any memory of those time before when at best he learn. He was a Jedi was all but gone the emotion seem still linger in him. Like a phantom darkness that eluded his understanding for now.

And so onward he moved thru the motion till such time. He felt seem out of breath and he paused. Just long enough it seem to pick up the faint presence of another by the door. At which time he pause with his back still to the door and let the staff rest to his side. As he slowly turn face the figure that lean by the door.

" So...kid how long you been standing there? I hope it wasn't too bad seem may be bit rusty at this."

His gaze then somehow had been curiously caught to gaze at him. Standing there part him couldn't help but be curious at the way the youth look. Not as clean cut as the rest and seem out curiosity he notion for him to enter.

" So let me see you here cuz your Master told you to or you just going thru the motion like rest?"

Had [member="Ronin Wendigo"] truly been rusty at the way he'd used and moved with the staff like weapon, Karrus wouldn't have noticed it at all. Unfamiliar with the lightsaber arts or that of any sort of sword play aside from what you saw in the old fictional holo-novels that he was lucky enough on a rare occasion to view, his complete ignorance to the arts possibly did the other favor in that Karrus had been quite taken by the act. So much so, in fact that by the time Ronin turned and began to speak to him, Karrus flinched out of his would be daze to refocus on the man and scratch the side of his head somewhat awkwardly, "Uh....-Sorry..." He offered a quiet chuckle in embarrassment before quickly chiming in again, "But you looked really cool swinging that thing around. Did a Jedi teach you how to do that?".

The question regarding his reason for being there was a slightly curious one and not one he understood entirely, especially at the mention of his Master whom Karrus had come to understand resembled Teynara Jeralyr. "Oh...Um...-Nuh, I haven't seen her much recently, she tells me she's been caught up in all her duties and stuff for the other Jedi, whatever that means..." He gave something of a casual shrug and a smile that spelled out no grudges for the time they'd been parted. Being from Eriadu where he'd had more than enough time to get comfortable with his own company, being in such a wonder of a place like Voss was a gift in it's own right. "Do you know my Master?..." He spoke up once more, curious to know whether she would have expected him to come to this point as Ronin seemed to guess was possibly the case, "...-I don't remember her saying anything about playing with sticks like that..." He pointed to the staff, blinking in obvious intrigue over both Ronin and the way he'd used the training weapon.

"Uh....-Sorry..."

It was then that as he turn hear voice speak and only when he came face him that. For moment seeing the youth there standing. Giving a light chuckle before continue on speak.

"But you looked really cool swinging that thing around. Did a Jedi teach you how to do that?"

At which time with light chuckle himself and bit silent sigh of relief. Note that if anything as his question sort ease his mind as he spoke.

"Yeah well figured staff is easy enough weapon handle for now. Bit cumbersome and not quite as elegant a weapon as saber.But relatively speaking close enough weapon to practice on....Before i work my way up to handling a live saber.....and well not exactly. Sort something pick up and slowly taught myself mostly. Having had to survive out on the streets one had to learn make good of your wits and maybe.....whatever was available round you."

At which time soon enough as he ask his second question out of curiosity of the youth. That he soon replied back....

"Oh...Um...-Nuh, I haven't seen her much recently, she tells me she's been caught up in all her duties and stuff for the other Jedi, whatever that means..."


To which as he slowly approach him that he noted him casually shrug and smile. That Ronin then in turn replied.

"Yeah guess i know the feeling......thought be honest i myself don't know what that means. Being a Jedi and doing all these Jedi stuff. See seem i'm still try work my mind around the idea myself. Sort just arrived her myself not too long ago. "

It was then seem out of curiosity to what he said. The youth then spoke.

"Do you know my Master?..."

To which he then letting the staff rest on his shoulder. Lifting a hand to cradled and slightly rub under his chin as he thought.


"Hmm, dunno....As so far only got know a few of the people here other than Master Coci.... At any rate what your name kid....my names Ronin Wendigo. And well care give it a try though not sure if she....your Master that is don't mind or had taught you this already?"

He then pick to seem offer to hand over the staff to the youth who in turn replied.

"...-I don't remember her saying anything about playing with sticks like that..."


To which with smirk Ronin then replied back.

" Yeah well seem she haven't from looks of it....but yeah although don't get me wrong. This here seem just look like just normal stick to most. And what i sort did earlier look like play but be honest. It had for most part help save my hide few time in a fight while was out on my own....And i guess if you be interested could maybe show you. Not that i guess am due meet Master Coci anytime soon seeing like you. She sort of on some Jedi business herself and however funny might seem. I might as well be just another student round these parts."

Early morning and late nights, such was the life of a Padawan chasing his Knighthood, and the freedom that came along with the title. This night he had been in a small room going over some of the more advanced customizations that Jedi had been known to do to their lightsabers. Kal'n's lightsaber had none of those enhancements, but he hoped to one day craft one to rival those he had read about. His own was simple and basic in its construction, lethal to be sure, but simple.

As it often happened when Kal'n was engrossed in a subject he lost track of time and ended up staying up far later than he had wanted. Now the young Jedi found himself walking down the hallways of the Academy, walking away the weariness that had crept into him with all those hours of sitting.

He heard voice down one hall as he walked, and curious as he was Kal'n moved to have a look. He came across a young boy and a gentlemen that looked older than himself. A knight perhaps? Not one that Kal'n recognized to be sure. His eyes moved to the staff the man held and a smile splayed its way across his face.

"Are you training to use a saber-staff?" He asked out from the hallway, stepping forward so that he could easily be seen. "Ah, do forgive the interruption, I am Padawan Kal'n Drasco."

Just then as the two conversed that another seem join in on them. Though at first Ronin couldn't help but feel cautious being that. Still despite fact he was as Coci said with friends old habits seem harder to break. At any rate sense no danger from the stranger and note the smile on his face. Ronin no less turn his head to him passingly as he spoke.

"Are you training to use a saber-staff?"

Though it seem as best he sense the stranger was still out in the hallway. At which time he seem with sly smirk replied.

"Maybe, thought am curious who'd want know?"

At which time no sooner had the stranger came thru and was well into view of both. That he continued speak and he on his end listen while he stood up and sort lean sideways with his arms wrap round the staff as he held it.

"Ah, do forgive the interruption, I am Padawan Kal'n Drasco."

By then with seem sly smirk Ronin then nod to the stranger as he replied.

"I see well guess seem no worry.....Kal'n Drasco is it?Your not interrupting anything was just take moment to practice a bit. Take and use some my down time off to clear my mind of things.....At any rate names Ronin, Ronin Wendigo and this here is....ummm..."

He then turn to the youth raise one hand to rub nape his neck. As he turn him speak...

"...well guess i didn't quite catch your name...sort rude me i guess but umm...anyway figured that another thing best get use to now that am not having run and sort back ...here."

 

[WolfMortum]

'Kal'n and Ronin...' He took a moment to remember there names while the two older males spoke to one another. Ronin didn't seem to have much notion as of knowing who Karrus was nor who his Master might be, it was a little relieving as it meant he wasn't missing anything that he should've been attending the week round. While Kal'n spoke, Karrus smiled up at him as if to say hello though knew better than to interrupt as most people didn't like that kind of thing so he just waited, quiet and patient as the three shared the room.

Ronin definitely seemed the more social of the three, talkative was what Karrus would call it of course, he was eager to respond and explain himself and Karrus liked this a bit, it meant that he didn't need to ask very many questions. Lately that seemed all he had been doing. How a staff like stick that he was using had anything to do with living on the streets however, Karrus didn't quite understand. Ronin had mentioned street smarts (wit) and the use of a saber, the younger boy not having caught on as he'd yet to be introduced to the lightsaber arts and only once seen one used in the hands of a woman back home on Eriadu. Giving something of a huff in exhale, a silent sigh to himself, he watched the two inquisitive and thought to himself how things seemed to move so fast in the Jedi buildings, assuming all of the others were much alike this one.

"My name is Karrus Zorathi!" He blurted out in exclamation after the other two had offered up their names and the boy hadn't wanted to miss out on the introductions. "I haven't been here too long but I might be able to do cool stuff like that one day too..." His tone died off a little as he didn't have the experience to back up the boast, the lack of confidence would be evident yet he smiled through it, a rather cheerful young lad given his background and all things by comparison.

At which time once he'd replied back to Kal'n that Ronin then occasionally. Glance over at they youth he'd been talking to earlier. Seem not wanting be rude and leave him out of the conversation as he recon. At which time note him give off a slight sigh at first before speaking out.

"My name is Karrus Zorathi!"

To which pausing briefly to seem blurted out if only not be left out of the introduction. Before he'd soon followed it up with saying.

"I haven't been here too long but I might be able to do cool stuff like that one day too..."

At which time with a smirk and nod before turn face Karrus spoke back.

"Well guess its nice meet you too Karrus Zorathi....as it seem i'm not the only new guy round here. Barely been here few weeks myself. I recon...."

At which time somehow note how soon after Karrus tone seem die down and that despite his seem appearance of lack confidence yet with smile still on his face. Ronin then reach over to place a hand on his shoulder as with smile on his face. While handing Karrus the staff in his hand as he spoke.

" I bet you will Karrus...i don't doubt that hell perhaps in no time you will. Seem from what I've seen here so far lends me to believe anything possible if one put their mind to it eh?"
