Private When You're Sixteen

Jakku had been the biggest place that Liorra had ever visited outside her homeworld of Monastery. The quiet girl followed after Valery Noble Valery Noble who had collected her from the enclave there. Then teenager adjusted the pack on her back and followed after the Master Jedi. She was due to meet with Jax Thio Jax Thio who was to be her new master, and while her parents had reassured her when she left Monastery that it'd be all okay. She couldn't help but feel nervous, scared, anxious... Liorra steadied her breathing, and did her best not to look over her shoulder. It was just a trip to Coruscant, only one of the most densely populated planets in the entire galaxy. A big place for a small girl from planet where nature had been allowed to flourish. She took another deep breath and exhaled, she wondered what it would be like over there. She wondered what the man who was to be her mentor was like, and if her culture was going to be an issue.

Given the declaration of war on the Enclave, she wondered if she'd get caught up in the storm of it all. Wondered how people might think of her when she wore her armor, even now it felt heavier than it ought to. Absent mindedly her fingers toyed with the quartz necklace around her neck, Monastery was so quiet, Jakku as well when compared to where she'd be going. Liorra needed to get out of her head, she kept her focus on the steps ahead. The pale-faced girl's pack was loaded down tent, stove, tools, canteen, survival kit, poncho, grappling line, she didn't need it where she was going but wanted to keep it with her. At sixteen the heavy pack was a comfort, she was used to hauling it around, bright amber eyes softened with thought, as she looked up toward the Jedi Master who towered over Liorra. Of all the genetics she wanted, she wanted her mother Shia's height. It was the one thing she didn't get, she got the glittering amber eyes , pale skin and the muscle density thanks in part to the Rattataki heritage.

"The trip won't be too long," Valery assured Liorra as they walked away from the Jakku Temple, and headed towards the shuttle. Jax would be waiting for them on Coruscant, so once this short trip was over, Liorra would begin an entirely new journey. She was to be his Jedi Padawan, and Valery was looking forward to helping them get started like this.

It was an important step for a young Jedi.

"Are you excited? Nervous?" Valery asked, as the ramp of the shuttle lowered and the two stepped inside. She guided the younger woman over to the cockpit, where she got seated and immediately went through pre-flight checks. It wouldn't be long before the engines roared to life, and from there, Valery would take them up into the atmosphere.


"You've already talked to Master Thio, right? Or haven't really met him yet?"



 
"Nervous," confessed Liorra with hope, "but if he's as kind and friendly as you and auntie Romi then it should be okay." It was going to be the first day of 'official' Jedi Training. She was going to spend the next several years there, "what's Coruscant like?" She asked as she settled into her seat and followed the question up with, "and this... isn't too much, is it?" She motioned to her armor, the beskar'gam painted in flowers that sat over her robes. Liorra settled her pack on the shuttle's ground.

Then to Master Valery's question, "no, I haven't really met him."

"I've never been to a big city, Monastery has more blades of grass than people." Explained the girl as she exhaled, assured that the trip would be fine. "Am I allowed to have my droid and cat? They're with mom right now, but if I can have them, she can drop them off for me." She missed them both, Rek and Starlight.

"He's plenty kind. Most Jedi are, really," Valery said with a chuckle. Not every Jedi was really a good fit to be someone else's Master, but Valery had once met another one of Jax's Padawans, and they seemed fond of him. It gave her confidence that it wouldn't be different this time.

But if they ended up not having that click, there was always a way to separate and find a new Master.

"Coruscant is an endless city, but with thousands of layers stacked on top of each other. It's... hard to describe beyond it. You'll just have to see." She smirked and pulled back on the Hyperspace lever to get them moving across the stars. "The armor is... unusual, but we don't really have a strict dress code. Just be appropriate, and it'll be okay."

But there were more questions.


"You can also have a droid and a cat, though I wouldn't keep them at the Temple. The rooms aren't that spacious there."
