A rare walk in the streets

[Chapaa'ai]

It is not often the old Wookiee Jedi, Chapaa'ai is seen outside the Temple. Most often he is found indoors, either lost in thoughts, or sitting in yet another meeting at the Jedi Council. Or he is seen in the gardens, enjoying the busy life of bugs and birds alike.
However, today, Chapaa'ai has left the Temple, heavily supported by the enormous branch serving as a walking stick.
He enters a turbo lift and travels to the higher levels of Coruscant, and heads to a somewhat wealthy apartment block. His pace is slow, but then again, he is not in a hurry.
He stops in front of one of the doors, gently knocking it with his large paw.

"Do you think she is even present, Master Chapaa'ai" The translator droid at his belt asks.

Chapaa'ai growls quietly, and the droid makes a sound almost like a sigh.

"Of course, of course, stupid of me, stupid"

[Laddaa'Nann]

A few short moments pass by before a sound is heard from the other side of the door. The gray-white metal slides into the wall with a soft sound, revealing the elder twi'lek woman behind it.
She is dressed neatly, but nothing fancy or overly expensive, as could have been expected in these parts of the upper levels.

Ladda smiles politely at the sight of the old Jedi Master. Her slender lekku waves as the only sign of her surprise at seeing him.

"Good day to you, sir. How can I help you?"

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai leans heavily on his walking stick, and his blue eyes shine warmly at the sight of Laddaa. He growls in a low tone, and bows his large head towards her in a greeting.

"Master Chapaa'ai wishes to know if he may enter your apartment" Chapaa'ai glances at the the translator droid with a less than pleased look.

"Actually, Master Chapaa'ai his things to discuss, and wants to be allowed inside"

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda bows her head a few inches in a gentle nod, and steps back from the door, inviting the old Wookiee to enter.

"Of course Master. Please, come in."

She smiles politely, smoothing a light fold in her skirt with a motion of her thin hand. She closes the door behind the old Jedi Master, and guides him to a comfortable, well lit living room. A large window gives a beautiful panorama view over the Coruscant sky line.

"Have a seat." she smiles and walks past him to the other end of the room, where a low wall seperates the kitchen from the living room.

"Would you like a cup of tea? Coffee? Or is there something else, you would prefer?"

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai lifts a large paw and shakes his big, furry head, growling slowly.

"Master Chapaa'ai says he is fine"

The Wookiee gestures to another chair in the room, humming quietly to the twi'lek lady.

"Master Chapaa'ai asks you to sit down" The Wookiee looks down at the droid with a deep sigh, but does not comment on the translation.

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda does not sit immediately, taking herself a few moments to pour hot water into a mug. A sweet scent fills the room from the herbs at the bottom of the mug.
"Yes, in a moment, I was about to make myself a cup of tea when you arrived. It soothes my migraine."
She takes the mug in both of her thin hands as if warming her fingers, and steps over to Chapaa'ai. She places herself opposite the old Jedi Master and nods slightly, still with the smile on her lips, asking him silently to begin whatever he has to say.

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai leans slightly towards her, a kind glow in his deep, blue eyes. He holds on to the walking branck with both paws, and starts speaking in a series of hums and growls, sometimes making a small gesture with a paw.

"Master Chapaa'ai, that was quite an enormous amount of material to translate. Considering my old age, I'm not even sure I will be able to deliver the message fully to Lady Laddaa..." The droid seems quite full of himself, and Chapaa'ai snorts loudly.

"All right, all right Master Chapaa'ai, I understand, I see, I see..." the droid seems to be quite offended, but nevertheless delivers the message to Ladddaa.

"Master Chapaa'ai says that seeing as you've worked for the Jedi before, he was hoping you would consider doing so again. The council greatly appreciated your previous actions, and was hoping you would serve on board the Chu'Unthor for a time"

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda's fingers absently stroke the smooth porcelain as she listens carefully to the droid's translation of Chapaa'ai's words. She seems as if she does not notice the mild arguing between them.

"The Chu'Unthor?" She tilts her head slightly to one side, as if taking a closer look at the Jedi Master. Then her eyes wander to the view outside the window, suddently with a distant look in them.
"Yes. I have worked with the Jedi before."

She turns her attention back to her guest, giving him a quick smile.
"And I would be happy to do so again."
She puts down her mug on the table before her, the tea never touched, her headache suddently very unimportant.
This is unexpected.

"I can se no problem in my starting right away if needed. I would though like to know; what has happened for you to suddently require my service?"

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai stomps the branch into the ground - not too violently, he wouldn't want to damage Laddaa's floor, but enough to demonstrate, that he is not pleased. He growls and snorts several times, before allowing his droid to translate.

"One of our doctors has expressed a wish to be allowed to work at Chandrila, and with the situation on Jandoon becoming more intense, we need skilled people to aid us..."

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda nods slowly, listening to the translation.
"I have heard about Jandoon." A slight frown shows on her face.
"I accept, Master Jedi. When shall I start abord the Chu'Unthor?"

[Chapaa'ai]

Master Chapaa'ai looks extreemly pleased, as he bears his teeth in a wide grin. He makes a sweeping gesture, while humming gently.

"Master Chapaa'ai says that the Chu'Unthor probably will depart in about a week or so, maybe even more, but that he wishes for you to begin as soon as possible, so that you will get accustomed to the ship and crew"

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda nods and sends Chapaa'ai a calm smile.

"I will inform the hospital of my departure, then. If there are no unexpected problems, I will visit the Chu'Unthor tomorrow afternoon."

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai nods and smiles widely. He hums kindly, and leans heavily on the branch, as he raises from the chair.

"Master Chapaa'ai expresses how happy he is that you've made the decision so quickly. If you send word to him about your arrival time, he will make sure, that there's someone there to meet you"

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda stands up as well, smiling politely.

"It is a pleasure to be able to help. How can I contact you?"

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai nods, hums a growls.

"Master Chapaa'ai wishes to know if you have a datapad? Then he will give you a contact number for the Jedi Temple"

Chapaa'ai pads the droid gently.

[Laddaa'Nann]

"Yes, of course."
Ladda turns around, walking over to a small table, and returning with a datapad.

[Chapaa'ai]

Chapaa'ai takes the datapad, and quickly writes down a few information for her. He hums lowly while doing so.

"Master Chapaa'ai informs you that there are two numbers there - one for the Temple, where you will be able to reach him, and one for Chu'Unthor, where you will probably reach Master Yoda" Chapaa'ai nods, apparently he agrees with the droid this time.

He hands the datapad back to Ladda, smiling slightly, and nodding to her with a quiet growl.

"And now, Master Chapaa'ai bids you farewell, and looks forward to hearing from you again"

[Laddaa'Nann]

Ladda's thin fingers take the datapad from Chapaa'ai, her lips forming a polite smile.

"I will contact you and Master Yoda as soon as possible. Good day to you, Master Chapaa'ai. And thank you for your visit."
