(( Hey everyone, before you start I want to say this chapter will the only one for a while. I am still working on my Gravity Falls story, Gravity Pines. I hope you all enjoy and once I am either done with Gravity Pines or have some extra time, I will continue this story asap. ))
" And of all the sad excuses of a padawan and I get the one who can barely grasp the force. " An elderly man speaks, dark-toned with intense yellow eyes, scary to anyone who did not know of the man, but for Leo, he was just a Jedi Master who made his life a living hell.
" Says the old man who finds missions on pacifists planets a chance to train. Why did we come here, Master? Naboo would have been fine, a bunch of vapor farmers and politicians who think peace is as simple as ignoring strife. " Leo would say as he wipes off and tosses the moss and swamp muck off his robe, meanwhile his Master, clean as a whistle would simply smirk and chuckle to himself.
" My young padawan, some people wish for the best and do all they can to achieve it. While we see ignorance, they see something that works for them. They still have their blasters, their enforcers, but those are simply to ensure order remains... just like ourselves. " Sliding his arms into either sleeve of his own robes, the Master would adjust the coordinates and soon our whole ship rattled a bit as we were flying a vcx-100, a sturdy ship but it the public transport of the academy, needed a touch-up, to say the least.
" Sheeshus Master, What are you trying to do to make us sick on the way to the next mission? I don't think they offer free hydro rinses for in-flight accidents! " I call out from the lounge which I was trying to relax in, only to hear a pretty casual laugh coming from the open cockpit doors.
" Aye, they do not young one. Yet we are not heading to another mission, I am dropping you off at the academy for rest while I take care of a diplomatic manner. "
" Wh... You mean I get actual downtime? No missions? " Not realizing what he had just done, the padawan stood at the doorway to the cockpit where his Master and a clone pilot sat, the clone was assigned to this pair. " You hear that Ban? Master's giving me time off!? " A laugh is shared between the two before Ban looks back through his helmet with a simple nod.
" I heard ya kid. Looks like you'll get to see that sprout you are always talking about, been about a year right? " Leo looks swiftly to his Master who would never look away from the emptiness of space as the hyperdrive kicked in, sending them hurtling through the cosmos while Ban didn't seem to grasp what he let slip, or didn't slip at all.
" Ah yes. Lune, she always was right by your side through your training as younglings. Even shared a rather emotional hug when we left didn't you? " Leo almost felt confusion on par with a citizen in a senate meeting, but as Ban checked the ship's readouts and flicked a few switches to cut off unneeded power, the Master turned his head and looked right to Leo with that gentle smile that always seemed to be a myth turned real. " Be Mindful of your feelings Leo, and be mindful of the ways of the force. The other Masters won't be as understanding if they see you two. "
" Yes Master, Thank you, Master Edo. " Noba Edo, a wise man to say the least, but to any padawan or youngling who wasn't under his wing, he was like a demon who didn't want to hear about your problems. Leo took his leave as he went to the resting quarters to celebrate in a bit of silence. Meanwhile, Edo sat back in his seat and would smile wide.
"Your kid pulled that off without any backlash, I heard those abilities together were hard to control even for Knights. " Ban looked over and would see the Master simply holding that smile of his.
" Yes he is a bit odd, when we are on missions he can barely pull off simple tricks, but when he is excited, he seems to almost bond with the force. " A long sigh brushes off Edo's lips as he reaches up to brush his hand over his short hair. " I fear it may one day unleash under the wrong emotion, and many won't understand what it means. "
