Sinn'da takes a deep breath of the somewhat fresh air, as she steps out the doors to the garden. The sun is shining, the air is fresh, flowers are blooming... Hopefully it will affect the gloomy mind of the young padawan.
Though she rather doubts it.

Shortly after Sinn'da has entered the garden, Tianara opens the doors to the colourful world of the Jedi Temple Gardens. However, she hesitates when she sees Sinn'da. The padawan just lost her master, and Tianara does not want to deny her the peace she probably needs.

Sinn'da hears the almost silent sound of the doors opening again, and, reaching out with the Force, she recognizes the other padawan.
The silence lasts for a few moments, before Sinn'da breaks it.
"Hi. Nain, right?" She moves her head, looking at the human girl over her shoulder, but not really turning around.

Tianara nods with a shy smile.
"That's right. Tianara Nain" She lets the doors close behind her, and takes a few more steps outside, keeping her eyes on Sinn'da.
"Sorry if I'm disturbing you"

Sinn'da shrugs. Then, as an afterthought, she shakes her head lightly. "You're not." She pulls her robe closer around her, though it actually isn't cold.
"You OK?" Why did you ask that? Dunno... What else to say?
Master Rina used to ask something like that...

"Better than you, I assume" Tianara nods, looking at Sinn'da seriously.
"I can imagine you're pretty shook up...how long since you...found out?" She tilts her head slightly, then approaches the older girl, so that they're standing next to each other. Tianara folds her hands in front of her, unconsciously mimicking one of Kian's gestures when he's playing the role of "the supportive Master"

Sinn'da tilts her head to one side in a sort of short nod, now facing Tianara. "Dunno... About a week, I guess. No, ten days, I think. It's all been a bit...messy. Sort of." Her lekku twitches slightly. "I hear you'r Master isn't all well either....? Though, well, not that bad, luckily. Right?" Stop stumbling over your own thounge...

Tianara nods, looking out in the distance. Staring at the flowers in front of them, though not really seeing them.
"He lost his legs on Jandoon, but we both managed to escape, so..." She hesitates "It could have gone a lot worse, really..." She forces a smile to her face.
"He's just got his cybernetic legs, so at least now he can get around again"

Sinn'da puts a tired smile to her own face. It's not as hard as she had thought, actually, though it still feels a bit stiff. "I'm glad to hear that... He's out of the hospital, then..?"

Post by Tianara Nain on Dec 11, 2008 18:04:37 GMT 1
Tianara nods slowly.
"I think they wanted to keep him there longer, but he insisted on participating in the memorial service today..." She glances at Sinn'da out of the corner of her eye.
"They were....less successful in their attempt to keep him there"

This time Sinn'da can't help but smile a little, even if she hadn't wanted to. "Well... Who likes to be at a hospital? Guess I would have protested too, if someone tried to keep me in bed for days on end."

Post by Tianara Nain on Dec 29, 2008 23:19:31 GMT 1
Tianara nods slowly.
"Me too, I guess, but Master Kian could have used the rest. He's too stubborn, though. It is ironic, isn't it? The Masters always preach about patience, but when it comes to themselves..."

A short, unwilling attempt at a laugh escapes the twi'lek's lips. Or perhaps it's more of a cough, by the sound of it.
"Well, yeah, I know what you mean... Master Rina always tried to teach me patience. But at least she admitted, it was something she wasn't good at herself..." The slight smile fades from Sinn'da's lips, leaving her face gloomy once more at the thought of her late master.

Tianara nods slowly.
"How many years did you and Master Rina spend together?"

Sinn'da shrugs, biting her lower lip. "She was the one who found me on Ryloth when i was a baby, and brought me here. I saw her once in a while when I was a youngling, and then she became my Master..." She sighs heavily, as if the thought is making her exhausted. "I dunno... She's always been there, somehow, and now she's gone."
Suddenly she shakes her head, before rubbing the base of one of her lekku almost violently. "Well, I should just get over it. This is no point. Not for a Jedi."

Tianara shrugs uncertainly.
"Well, it might be wrong, but I believe it is also natural. I'm not always sure the Masters are right, when they tell us not to mourn those who are one with the force. They played a huge part in our lives, and missing them, longing for them is only natural, if you ask me. If we weren't capable of feeling such things, what would we be then?" She bites her lip.

"It's NOT for a Jedi. Normal people have emotions, not us." she snaps at the other padawan, but then bites her lips hard, looking away.
"..Sorry... I... Yeah, sorry..." She shakes her head. "I'm a little tired, I guess..."

Tianara shrugs again.
"You're entitled to your opinion, there's no need to excuse yourself" she smiles slightly.
"it's just that...speaking as someone who almost lost her Master too, I believe you're allowed to be a little shook up and beside yourself. And to miss your Master. Though I bet most Master would disagree..."
She bites her lip firmly.
"Please don't go...telltale..."

"I won't..." Sinn'da sighs, then forces the smile back on her lips. It's a bit harder this time then before. "I just...don't want to let her down. I have to control myself. Use what she taught me." She looks at Tianara again. "You know... to honor her memory..."

Post by Tianara Nain on Jan 17, 2009 18:01:33 GMT 1
Tianara nods slowly.
"I can understand that too. All I'm saying is that, if I lost Master Kian, I would probably grieve too, so if you can't always put up that 'happy that they've become one with the force' face, then, I'll understand it. But if you feel you have to honour her by keeping a stiff upper lip, then, that's what you'll have to do, I suppose..."
Tianara looks down, feeling a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Sinn'da looks at Tianara. Then presses her blue lips into a slim line. "I guess I'll do that, yes..." Her lekku wraps themselves around her neck, not unlike a strange, live scarf.

Tianara nods slowly, feeling slightly unsure what to say next. She casts Sinn'da a glance out of the corner of her eye, and clears her throat.
"So..do you know if they'll appoint you a new master?"

Sinn'da doesn't answer for a few moments. Actually, she may not have heard the other padawan. Her eyes are focused on a greyish brown withering flower, standing among its blooming cousins. Then she answers in a silent whispering voice.
"...I guess they will...I'm still a padawan..."

Post by Tianara Nain on Feb 8, 2009 17:21:09 GMT 1
Tianara nods slowly. She almost reaches out to place a hand on Sinn'da's shoulder, but stops herself. They are not that close.
"I guess that must be a weird thought..."

"Yeah..." She doesn't want a Master. It is a sudden realisation, but she feels it as much as she feels the grief of loosing Master Rina. Her real Master. No one can take her place.
... No. Stop that! Stop being hurt over an attack that isn't there.
She draws a deep breath and slowly exhales.
"But it is necessary." She looks back at Tianara, licking her dry upper lip. "You don't happen to have heard anything...?" Sinn'da doubts it, but it won't hurt to ask, right?

Tianara shakes her head slowly.
"No, the Masters always keep such information close. And even if they wanted to reveal something to someone, it wouldn't be me. I think they consider me rather unstable, after the situation on Jandoon" She shrugs.
"I could try asking Master Kian though. It is possible he has picked something up. He doesn't have much to do these days, and he is quite good at being in the right place at the right time..."

Sinn'da sighs and shakes her head a bit, her lekku falling down from around her neck again. "No, it's okay... Sorry, dunno why I asked..." She forces a smile to her lips. "Well, of course, if you hear something..." She shrugs. "Just don't go make it a trouble for yourself...."

Post by Tianara Nain on Feb 11, 2009 19:03:01 GMT 1
Tianara smiles almost smugly.
"Don't worry...I hardly ever trouble myself" She folds her arms across her chest, then changes her mind and plays with her padawan braid.
"Well, I guess you'll hear something soon enough"

"Yeah, guess your right," She shrugs, her eyes following Tianara's fingers playing with the braided hair for a moment. Then she blinks, looking up at the pale skies above them with a deep sigh. "Hmm, if you don't mind, I think I'll go down to the training halls. Have to get my mind onto something else,"
She smiles lightly, meeting the other padawan's eyes as if suddenly thinking of something. "Hey, you don't happen to be in for a duel?"

Tianara looks at the other girl skeptically for a moment or two, then nods with a little smile.
"Sure, why not? Though, you should know, I'm not really that skilled...."
