Rendal POV

I can't believe it! I've broken down one of her walls!  Yes!

'Hey not to be rude, but do you mind if I have a bit of space for a little while? I need to.... Um..... Meditate...' She seemed almost embarrassed to say it, but I didn't mind.

'Sure, talk to you later.'

I walked out of the hut, grinning madly! I felt like I was as high as a cloud, but I had no idea why.  Admittedly I had hoped to eventually become her friend and now that I was I just.... It makes me feel happy to know that she didn't hate me.

Still, with the way things are going around here I'm sure we will both need a friend at some point, much like today, and I am honestly looking forward to seeing her in battle. From what I saw when she took down those boys who were bullying me back at the Temple before all of this started it is clear she has some major moves and who knows, maybe she'll teach me some of them.

That would be so awesome!

'Rendal.' I instantly came down from my cloud and hit the ground hard as I almost ran into my Master.

I really need to keep my eyes open to whats going on around me otherwise I am going to become a danger to society!

'Yes Master?' I asked looking up at him.

'May I talk to you in my quarters?'

'Of course.'

The two of us walked into his hut and he turned and looked at me, a serious expression on his distinguished face.

'Now Rendal, I don't blame you for wanting to go out and explore this beautiful and fascinating planet, but next time you decide to all I ask is that you come and find me. I am sorry about Master Skywalker, he was just worried about the two of you when he found out you were missing, I know his way of showing it isn't exactly conservative, but he means well.'

'I understand that, Master and I assure that I will come and tell you if I ever leave camp again.' I nodded.

'Good lad.' He patted my shoulder and I walked out.

Anakin POV

I watched as Rendal walked out of Obi Wan's tent; I knew Obi Wan wouldn't punish him, but it wasn't my place to make judgement. Besides he probably handled it better than I did, making Alexa feel bad was no way to improve our relationship and I should have been calmer about the situation. After all he had said they would find their way back and they did. Indeed, that simple fact reminded me of how I should trust in my old Master more often.

All the same we needed to do something, if Rendal was getting bored and looking for other things to do then I'd say the majority of us are getting restless and the time to make our next movement was upon us. What did that mean?

A reconnaissance mission.

I gathered our troop together and told them of my idea.

'I agree.' Obi Wan nodded. 'We need to study the Separatists and their routine so we can find a weakness and attack at the precise moment.'
