A Few Months Later
3rd Person
Silence.
Coruscant was not the type of planet to know such a word.
Whether day or night, the roaring speeders and bustling crowds of people never subsided.
However, CoCo Town was in a league of its own.
Home to all the cheap establishments one could ask for, the dilapidated district was particularly disorderly.
Clamorous hordes of hard-working laborers, eager to secure a seat at a diner.
Noisy discourse everywhere, a side-effect of marketplace haggling.
Booming music, blasting from the myriad of shoddy taverns.
Hosting a lively nightlife, CoCo Town was a hub for the common galactic citizen.
Among the rowdy district's metropolitan symphony, one sound rose above the rest.
"Tap. Tap."
"Tap. Tap."
"Tap. Tap."
Footsteps. A staggered, pair of footsteps.
"Tap. Tap."
"Tap. Tap."
The footsteps ceased.
"SLAM! SLAM!"
Two cloaked figures landed on the roof of Bottomless Bantha Burger. Maintaining their pace, the figures persevered, seamlessly bounding across the spaces between buildings.

'Breathe in, breath out.' I reminded myself.
There was no longer a need to repeat the phrase ad nauseum, however.
The action had assimilated with my mind completely.
As I vaulted over an electrical box, I caught view of a silhouette in the darkness.
A Trandoshan, fitted in a maintenance worker's attire.
Hearing our rapid footfalls, the reptilian humanoid looked up from her work.
"Huh?!" The Trandoshan growled, confounded.
"Nice night to you, ma'am!" I saluted, zooming past her.
Gradually, the footfalls behind me started to fade.
Sneaking a backward glance, I confirmed my suspicions.
My master was lagging behind... again.

Our run.
The... happiest part of my day.
Not that it mattered.
'Breathe in, breath out.' I ordered myself, heeding the words of my apprentice.
Nevertheless, as we dashed over the skyline, I gasped for air.
Every inhalation was akin to swallowing shards of glass...
Painful, to say the least.
Up ahead, I noticed that my padawan was decelerating.
