"What?" Rao Jor blurted out. The ease with which his new Master had already issued her first task for him had taken him aback. Immediately, he regretted his outburst. He collected himself and said: "I mean, of course, Ma- Alex. I'll meet you in the hangar." He nodded respectfully, waited for her...

"Very well," Rao Jor said. "Alex, then." While his tone adopted a modicum of his new Master's informality, his posture remained the same. Formalities, protocolls, they established order in the chaos, made it easier for the young Iridonian to read the world around him. In his experience there...

Rao Jor stepped under the cover of the gazebo, careful not to step too close to the woman. He kept a respectful distance while she spoke. There seemed to be a wistful tinge to the soft quality of her voice. She seemed worldly, despite her unmistakingly Jedi-like appearance, something which was...

Rao Jor hurried down the steps of the Jedi Temple on Yavin IV, caught in the shadow cast by the massive ziggurat, mind racing with excitement. The day had begun like any other. The young Iridonian had been going about his training, his meditations, and his scoffs at the other Initiates' lunch...

Rao-Jor listened intently to Nara Allam as she told him about her lightsaber. She made the whole Jedi business sound so... grounded. As if there wasn't a straight line running from starting in the Order to eventually being Knighted. As if there was room for set-backs, blunders, and...

Scene #3 - @Topher @Lydeck @Reyn Location: The Landing Pad Rao-Jor's eyes stared blankly as the grizzled Jedi spoke. "Oh," he said, rubbing his neck one-handedly as the man suggested that he should stretch his legs. "No, I'm fi-" However, before he managed to finish his sentence, the Jedi...

Rao-Jor could feel that Nara Allam had the best intentions, but her words didn't cure the unrest and the shame that he felt at having come back from the Gathering without a crystal. Though it was true that there were many different kinds of Jedi, many different paths to take, the lightsaber was...

Scene #1 (@Topher @Lydeck) Location: Sojourn Shuttle, approaching the Rim Hopper The cargo hold of the Sojourn-class shuttle was snuck. Padawan Rao-Jor perched on top of a crate, back reclined against the ship's bulkhead. When he boarded the shuttle back on Ajan Kloss, the young Zabrak had...

Rao-Jor's cheeks flushed red, as if the Jedi Master's finger poking at his forehead had activated a built-in coloration protocol in his face. He simply couldn't help it; half, the boy realised, out of the quiet offense he took at such an obviously juvenile treatment; half (and this was even more...

Rao-Jor's eyes followed Nara Allam's and found Enni sparring with Doboone, a Devaronian classmate of theirs. Her jet-black hair stuck to the perspiration on her forehead and cheeks, eyes steady, determined, as she warded off Doboone's attacks smoothly and methodically. The Zabrak boy felt a...

The hissing of the two lightsabers as they met each other and came apart over and over was all that Rao-Jor noticed. His mind was locked on his footwork against that of Nara Allam, his slashes and lunges against her twists and turns that seemed to always be in complete anticipation of the young...

Not long after Rao-Jor arrived outside the meditation chamber, the door to the room opened up. The Zabrak boy breathed deeply and hurried inside, taking great care to walk with deliberation so he wouldn't trip over his own feet. His peers did that sometimes, and he never understood how they...

Rao-Jor lowered the hilt of the training saber as soon as the Jedi Knight shared her observation. "I, umm, I imagine it would... Nara," he said, oddly comfortable with this unorthodox way of addressing his instructor. He had grown up on a first name basis with all of his clanfolk, Mandalorians...

It was time for saber practice. Rao-Jor and his fellow Padawan classmates waited - some patiently, others less so - in front of the bright-skinned woman teaching today's class on the meadow off the entrance to the Jedi Temple. She didn't introduce herself; Rao had learned that guest lecturers at...

There is no emotion, there is peace. No emotion, just peace. Peace is all there is. Peace? Your life is anything but peaceful, Rao. Or have you forgotten? Are you really that naïve? No... no. Focus on the breath. The breath, at the tip of the nose. The oxygen as it cycles through you, in...
