Time seemed to be crawling by at an almost unbearable pace. It seemed an eternity had passed him by, but in reality it had only been three or four days since Zashtee arrived on Ajan Kloss. The Jedi that had welcomed him was friendly enough, but the Togrutan couldn't have felt more isolated. Even though he was exiled, at least before he was still around his own people. The prospect of a new beginning was enticing, but it left a hungering in him that he was not sure would be quelled so easily.
The earth on his bare feet was the one comfort grounding him to reality at the present. It forced him to take in his surroundings; the moisture, plant growth, and various sounds of the jungle moon. It was a vast contrast to the grasslands of Shili, but the untamed nature of the jungle was the only thing that reminded him of home. Not far ahead, Zashtee spotted the light filtering through the tree tops in a small clearing. It was here he would await in the predetermined meeting spot.
Zashtee seated himself cross-legged in the middle of the clearing, patiently awaiting for the Jedi Knight he'd contacted. With his eyes closed, he attempted to pass the time with a meditation. Reaching out with his mind, he was trying to feel the jungle and it's inhabitants around him. It was a technique he learned with his former family on Shili. Even without the Force, one could learn to take in sounds and vibrations of the wildlife.
There was a sound of running water, likely from a nearby stream or larger water way. He wasn't quite able to tell due to his lack of recent practice. Small creatures skittering across the leaves were heard, but just barely over the sound of various bird noises. It was peaceful for the time being, drawing him into an almost trance like state until the Jedi arrived.
