Rendal POV

'Master, may I ask you a question?'

'Of course, my young padawan, never be afraid to ask me questions.'  Obi Wan nodded as we sat in his quarters.

'How much longer until I can go back to training?'  I asked hopeful.

'Oh Rendal, it's only been a week, you still have five weeks left.'  He chuckled shaking his head.

'What?! Master I can't do another five weeks in this chair doing nothing!' I cried in despair.

'Patience young one, you will get back to your old self in no time.'

'But Master Obi Wan, I will go insane if I can't do anything!'

'You are beginning to sound like Anakin's padawan.'

'Is that.... Bad?'  I asked, uncertain of where this discussion was going.

'No, I don't necessarily think that your ambition to continue your training is a bad thing, but you need to allow your body to heal.  By trying to train now you will only make yourself worse, so why not take advantage of your spare time and practice your meditation?'  He suggested.

'As you wish Master.'  I nodded sighing.

'Good, but while we're on the subject of doing things, I need to talk to Master Skywalker, would you like to come along and see his padawan?'

'Only if you do not think I will be in the way.'

'Not at all, in fact I'd be glad to have you there....  And I'm sure Alexa would be happy to see you.'

'Ok then, I will come with you.'  I nodded and we headed to meet them. 'Master where actually are they?'

'My senses are telling me that we should go to the hangar.' He replied, so that was where we went.

We are now standing in the hangar and I watched as Master Skywalker screeched into the hangar with his speeder! I gasped as Alexa sprung from the still moving vehicle, flipping through the air before executing a perfect landing directly in front of us!

'Welcome back.' My Master greeted, managing to keep a straight face, unlike me who was staring at the Togruta with my eyes as wide and my mouth hanging open like a fish!

'Hello Master Kenobi, Padawan Brask.  What brings you here?'  She asked awarding us a small smile.

'I have come to speak with Anakin, so why don't you and Padawan Brask keep each other company.'  He replied and walked over to Master Skywalker, leaving Alexa and I to talk.

'So how was it? Where did you go?'  I asked, bubbling with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.

'I don't know if I should tell you.'  She smirked.

'You promised you would!'

'I said I would think about it.' She corrected me.

'Oh come on! It looked like it was fun....'

'It was.' She nodded and I pouted trying to break her, however that changed to a smile as she sigh rolling her eyes and gave in. 'All we did was fly around the city.'
