OOC:Directly after this
Prani was still reeling from her conversation with Shaw. She didn’t like how the evening ended and she felt like she was the source of a lot of problems. Regina’s words echoed in her thoughts over and over again. Shaw’s apology had been genuine and she knew he felt bad. But he still went back to that party. The bigger part of her knew he had to - he was the host. It was his party. Everyone arrived because he invited them. He couldn’t bail on his own party!
But then the selfish part of her longed for a guy that would just drop everything for her. Those guys only existed in her novels. They would give up everything they knew, entire kingdoms, and turn away from power, just for a girl they glimpsed a few times. It was unrealistic, of course, but Prani knew she was the romantic fool type.
The academy loomed ahead and the night grew cold. Prani hugged herself as they walked, enjoying the sound of crickets, frogs, and other critters that brought the night to life in a natural orchestra, “It’s real peaceful out here,” She mused, “I ain’t ever been out here after hours,” Prani said as she looked around. The temple courtyards and surrounding areas looked stunning when bathed in moonlight. Most importantly, there were no padawans around to make fun of her or hide her shoes.
“Thanks again for keepin’ company,” Prani said to Caul, “Ya didn’t have to.”
