Centares had so far been an enjoyable planet with a mild climate and as you all settled down to dinner the sun started to set. This was after you, Tech, Hunter, and Echo return to the small camp you had made on one of the plateaus outside the town of Zana.

When you all had returned to camp Omega was tending to the fire while Wrecker had continued to roast the meat. The vegetables turned out delicious, and the meat had everyone quietly excited to settle down and start eating. Shortly after you had gotten back and started back into cooking dinner both Wrecker and Omega were interested in hearing if you had found the force-user you had sensed earlier.

"So did you meet them?" Omega asked her brown eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Yes, we all did. I invited them to dinner" you replied.

"Hunter let you?" Omega asked and Wrecker just smiled with his wide toothy grin.

"Looks like we'll be getting to meet them" Wrecker chuckled "wait.. you said them. There's more then one?!"

"Omega, you remember Lerona mentioned a padwan named Golrin who was an apprentice at the Felucian Temple" Tech clarified with Omega nodding in responses, her face beginning to show excited anticipation at what Tech seemed to be confirming.

"Its him" Hunter stated and Omega started beaming "I get to meet two more Jedi!"

"its him and his master Fenc Fal-cona" you explained further, happy to see Omega excited but hoping to have her be more calm by the time your guests were possibly arriving. "I don't know where they're been, but I'm hoping to catch up and get them a meal".

"Boy looks like he needed it" Echo commented as everyone settled down to eat.

"Mikkians do follow a humanoid build, however from the evidence I witnessed I can concur" Tech agreed "They are not emaciated but he looked ... worse for wear ... to put it lightly".

"Golrin's always been a bit thin, but not like that. The last I saw both of them they had left Felucia and were traveling to Coruscant to aid in the defense of the main Jedi temple, although I'm not sure they ever got there" you added on.

"That was my theory" Tech commented "The ship information provided by the Jedi temple records on Coruscant matches a ship that arrived on Coruscant but the timing between their departure from Felucia and arrival is too far skewed to be connected. Now that they are confirmed to both be alive, I believe it is a safe assumption that they never actually made it the full length of their journey".

"We'll find out tonight" Hunter replied and you all settled down with your plates of food around the fire.

You were all munching away when you sensed Golrin's presence coming towards you again and you put down your plate and started looking over your shoulder.

"Two people are approaching" Hunter commented, following your gaze.

"Its them" you reply getting to your feet and striding over to the edge of the plateaus clearing.

You can see the dark brown cloak covering Golrins frame as he walks along the way with another cloaked figure. This figure is taller then Golrin and his cloak is a shade of mossy green instead of the brown like the padawans. All Felucian Jedi were given either green or brown cloaks to help blend in with the trees. Except for Naria, she insisted on a reddish brown cloak which she had ongoing arguments about for months with the main temple master Caltrel.

As they approached everyone started looking over towards them. Golrin and Fenc Fal-cona pulled back their hoods and you could see their hopefully but hungry faces. As before Golrin's green eyes looked happy to see you, and his orange head tendrals rose slightly in excitement at the smell of food. Under his cloak he wore the traditional robes of a padawans a neutral green with a brown belt sash. His light saber was visible on his belt, as was Fenc's.
