Padawan Skywalker

After Doryn's first morning waking up on Coruscant but outside of the Temple, she always made sure to be back before sunrise. It'd felt so right to wake up with him, but she couldn't risk it again. The Jedi couldn't know and the Kaminoans could decommission Wolffe for being with her. It got even harder when they were shipped out and had even less leeway to sneak off and simply talk or kiss. She just wanted to hear him call her pretty and have his hands running through her fur. Unfortunately, the secrecy they were forced to live in didn't allow for such things so often. Especially with a Jedi Master around. Although Master Plo had been the one to encourage her bonding with the clones, she was pretty sure her relationship with Wolffe wasn't what he'd intended.

Doryn knew about human relationship labels and none of them were right. Lovers was probably the closest to something that felt right but still something wasn't right. Cathar society had casual dating like all societies did, but it was different in circumstances like this. They were meant for each other and when a Cathar found that they were considered mates from their first declaration and consummation of their agreement. Yes. Wolffe was her mate. She would be his until the end of time.

Now, General Plo, Ryn and Wolffe were heading to a war room in the Jedi Temple. It probably hadn't started its life like that, but war seemed to change many things. Apparently. Wolffe only knew Coruscant after the war had begun. These people he and his vode protected had known an existence free of war which was unimaginable to Wolffe. So when Ryn was little she'd lived in the Temple and only known peace and had probably known this room as something else before. Now the room was where they'd find out how they'd win back what was lost the first time on Felucia.

Walking along the Temple roof, to one of the towers, Doryn followed her Master and Wolffe was on the Kel Dor's other side. She'd spent some time meditating at the twisted tree with her Master. It was peaceful. Peaceful unlike many things had been. Though Wolffe coming had snapped her straight away from the Force. She only let herself go in the Force around him when in the throes of battle or in the throes of passion. With Master Plo so in tune to the Force around him, she had to snap away from it like a youngling caught eating mud after being told not to. Though the consequences of her love being known would be much worse than that.

On the roof, outside the tower she was approaching, a young Togruta stood. She was facing out to the organised chaos that often filled the skies of Coruscant. The last time Doryn had seen the girl was before Ahsoka became a Padawan. Now she stood there with the string of beads denoting her position in the Order. "I didn't expect to see you here, trouble." Doryn's words made the girl turn around. When teaching Ahsoka as a soon-to-be Padawan, Doryn had taken to calling her trouble. She was always on the move. "Dory! What are you doing here?" Ahsoka grinned at the Cathar woman before turning to her Master. "Master Plo, they're expecting you in there." Ahsoka nodded respectfully to the Kel Dor. This whole time, the human stayed quiet and ready to follow whatever Master Plo instructed.

Wolffe had known both Commander Tano and Ryn for a while now. For some reason he hadn't expected them to know each other. Especially so well. "I'm Master Plo's new Padawan." Technically she was right. Apparently, some people could be Padawans for longer than Wolffe had been alive. For a process that took years, four or five months probably was a short-ish time. Ryn came next to Commander Tano and gave a small nod toward the tower. Tano's horns reached a little over Ryn's height. Again, he hadn't considered that they'd be the same height. Maybe it was because of how the older Padawan held herself. "Master Yoda said you were going to be knighted." Tano insisted. Wolffe didn't know about Jedi knightings, though they didn't seem like something that would be promised then taken back.

"I refused." Doryn told the younger Padawan. It was true that early in the war it'd been offered to her. With the Knights becoming Generals, it was deemed necessary to speed along certain processes. It was also true that she'd refused. Ahsoka turned to Doryn with her arms crossed and blocked her path. She had the same confused look that Doryn had seen on her when told that she shouldn't hold her lightsaber backwards. "But why?" It wasn't long ago that Doryn also would've done anything to be knighted and be allowed to be the Jedi she wanted to be and not the one Master Tassu expected. Now though, she understood how flawed and far away from it all she actually was. If she were to be knighted, she wanted to do it right. "I will become a knight when I pass my trials and the temple guards deem me worthy." As high as the High Council were, they weren't the ones to knight padawans. It was wrong how they decided to pick and choose the pieces of doctrine to follow based on what suited them most. If the Force willed her to be a knight, it would've willed her to pass her trials. Her problems with the way of life they all shared wasn't today's problem. "Has your Master been treating you well?"
