Callan nods with a tiny smile
"I'll try to do as I'm told. Mostly. I wouldn't want to get hurt" He grins, maybe not grasping how serious the situation is

Thea smiles back, not wanting to shatter the younger boy's innocence.
"Good idea. Meeting the nurse because you hurt yourself is never fun. And the masters do everything they can to keep us safe."

"I bet they do. The Masters at the temple told us it was a real honour to be appointed to the Chu'Unthor" He grins at Thea

Thea grins back at him.
"It is indeed an honor to be here. There are so many people to learn from, the masters of course, but the captain will talk to you about piloting if you ask him, and Vidal will teach you how to cook if you are in the kitchen when he is in a particularly good mood. And all the students help each other. There is always someone who understands what you are having trouble with better than you and they will help you figure it out too."

Callan nods eagerly
"And you get to travel and see all kinds of places, right??"

Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 17, 2010 2:52:04 GMT 1
Thea giggles.
"Yes, we are always traveling, but sometimes we aren't allowed off the ship if they feel the planet is too dangerous or we aren't ready. And when we do get off we are very tightly supervised by the masters so we don't get into mischief. "
Thea gets a devilish look in her eyes.
"But that of course does not mean that we don't sometimes sneak off and look for something fun to do. Of course if you are caught you are in serious trouble, and if something happens to you it can take a while for anyone on the ship to figure out where you are..."

Callan doesn't look too intimidated by these facts
"But that's actually half the fun, isn't it?" he grins

Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 19, 2010 5:41:13 GMT 1
Thea giggles.
"Yes it is! Just be careful to look up the planet before you sneak off so you have some idea what you might be getting into. We got in more trouble not doing that - and were able to avoid some of the worst problem areas on some other planets by doing research before leaving. And the librarian will help! As long as you just say you are doing the research to learn about the culture because Jedi need to know that stuff, or that you are just curious about where we are that is."

"Really? Can you trick the librarian like that? and it actually works?" Callan looks at Thea, amazed
"I never thought it would be so much fun to live at a ship?"

Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 20, 2010 1:21:49 GMT 1
Thea laughs.
"Oh definitely. She is very sweet and thinks that we are all such good children. And sometimes when we do do the research we decide it isn't worth exploring. And it is important for a Jedi to know about different places so it is a good excuse! Up until very recently no one has gotten hurt doing it so it has been ok. But I don't think any one has tried sneaking off here, or since that rather disasterous last trip."

Callan grins
"Wow, you really have some good tips, you know that? You've been here long?" He looks at her questioningly

Thea smiles at Callan.
"Yes I have been here for about 5 years now. I was one of the youngest to come to the ship when I got here, now I'm one of the oldest on the ship, its kinda fun! The older students gave us hints so it is only fair that we pass them on too."

Callan smiles widely
"THen you might be chosen as a padawan soon!"

Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 24, 2010 23:04:47 GMT 1
Thea smiles slightly.
"Yeah, I will be old enough in just a couple of months. Its kinda scary to think about, actually. There is always a little fear that you won't be chosen, or that you will be the last one left, or that you won't do a good job at it. When I was little I used to watch the Jedi come visit the ship to pick up thier padawans and try to imagine where they were going and what they were going to do. Now I just wonder who might come for me and when."

Callan looks at her, wide-eyed
"I think I would be scared to death if it was me just waiting here!"
|
|
|
Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 26, 2010 23:13:16 GMT 1
Thea nods.
"It is scary to be waiting now. But I know that I have to reach my next birthday before I'm old enough for them to consider so right now its ok. But once I am old enough, if I'm not chosen quickly I think I will be terrified that I will never be picked."

Post by Mara Jade on Apr 28, 2010 22:20:41 GMT 1
Callan nods, looking at her seriously
"I've heard all sorts of rumours about what happens, if you don't get picked. Is it true you'll be fed to a rancor??"
|
|
|
Post by Thea Morgan on Apr 29, 2010 1:37:08 GMT 1
Thea giggles nervously.
"I don't think so, that doesn't sound very Jedi like to me. But they could kick you out of the Order. I guess."

Post by Mara Jade on May 2, 2010 17:04:58 GMT 1
"Wow, like kick me out for real? Or just reassign me to some...not jedi like job?" Callan looks at her, questioningly. It seems the kid has had a lot of question he's been dying to get an answer to - but might have been too scared to ask any of the masters

Thea sighs.
"I don't know really. I only asked about the selection process a little while ago and all I was told is that other arrangements are made for you if you aren't picked in time - when you are 12. So it could mean kicked out or... I don't know what else. I didn't want to ask."

"I can understand that!" Callan nods eagerly
"I haven't asked any questions at all, but I'm really afraid I wont be chosen. And if I say something like that, the masters just to me that to fear is not the jedi way, and it will only lead to anger..." He smiles a little

Post by Thea Morgan on May 4, 2010 0:04:29 GMT 1
Thea nods understandingly.
"Yeah it is all in how you word it. I'm only a couple months away from my 12th birthday, so I asked in the context of understanding what to expect over the next year or so - and didn't mention that I am a little afraid of not being chosen. They don't mind you wanting to plan for your future - but they did say not to dwell on the future and forget today. Though I'm less worried now after talking to Master Mir."

Callan tilts his head slightly, looking at Thea
"Who's Master Mir?"
|
|
|
Post by Thea Morgan on May 11, 2010 3:07:08 GMT 1
Thea smiles.
"Master Mir is one of my favorite teachers here. I'm sure you will meet her too soon if you haven't already. She teaches many classes, I have her for combat training right now. But I've taken a few other things with her in the past."

Callan tilts his head slightly
"She's nice then?"

Post by Thea Morgan on May 14, 2010 0:36:51 GMT 1
Thea giggles slightly.
"Yeah, she's really amazing. She knows a lot and is willing to spend extra time with you if you need help. I really enjoy having classes with her. And I'm sure you will too."

Callan smiles widely
"I like teachers who take their time to make sure you've understood everything and stuff" He finishes his lunch
"Sometimes I find it hard to really understand what the teachers are saying"

Post by Thea Morgan on May 17, 2010 23:26:01 GMT 1
Thea nods.
"Yeah I know what you mean. But it does get easier and if you are really confused just ask and they will explain it differently. It doesn't always help but sometimes..."

Callan grins
"Sometimes, I wonder if life would be easier, if I were not a jedi"

Post by Thea Morgan on May 19, 2010 2:41:59 GMT 1
Thea giggles.
"Yeah it might be easier. But it wouldn't be nearly as fun!"
