Kikks goes to the medical wing of the temple.  He enters the room and Kaylee isn't there.

"Excuse me, where is the woman who was brought here?" Kikks asked

"She recovered and left." the nurse said

Kikks turns to leave and is startled by Thaddeus

"She's outside." Thaddeus says

Kikks goes to the courtyard, and takes in the fresh air of Tython.  A sense of calm rushes over him.  He sees Kaylee entertaining some of the Jedi younglings.  

"You like this place?" Thaddeus asked

"Yes, I could see retiring here one day." Kikks says

"With her, it's clear you have feelings for each other."  Thaddeus says

"No, we can never be together." Kikks responds

"Why? The Jedi Order has changed.  I'm married to lovely woman and I am the proud father of three.  Two boys, and a girl.  In fact, that youngling Kaylee is holding right now is my youngest, my daughter Emma." Thaddeus says

"It's not that at all.  I love Kaylee, I would do anything for her.  I would die for her.  But the last girl I fell in love with died in my arms." Kikks says

"You are referring to the woman Roach.  Kikks, we can not let fear keep us from being happy." Thaddeus says

"I need time to think.  Where is that cave?" Kikks asked

"Down the path and to the left." Thaddeus responds

Kikks goes and talks to Kaylee for a few minutes and heads to the cave.  Thaddeus goes up to Kaylee.  His daughter reaches out for him.  He takes from Kaylee's arms.

"He cares about you." Thaddeus says

"I think he does too, but there is something holding him back." Kaylee says

Thaddeus sets his daughter down and she runs off.

"Lets take a walk Miss Frye." Thaddeus says
