"I know, I know! You seem to forget I've got a little Jedi training."
Jedi Knight Brienna Lanaamer called out to her droid, with just a hint of aggravation in her voice. Bri was balanced, slightly precariously, on a tree limb as she tied different colored pieces of fabric on to the branch. Satisfied that they were all on the same height, the Knight jumped down, and looked up with a nod of approval. "That should be good," she commented aloud, as her droid, NL-142, rolled up alongside and provided a similar nod of its 'head.'
The Jedi Order had gone through a rough couple of months - well, maybe years, so Bri had taken it upon herself to set up a training course in the Yavin jungle to allow for some good natured competition - and hopefully serve as a useful distraction. She'd posted on the Temple message board for any interested Jedi to join her in the jungle to test their skills. The course was set up as a race through a number of different obstacles - including log jumping over a few gorges, climbing up a cliff, swimming across a river, dispatching a Marksman training remote, before climbing up one of the tallest trees to grab the colored piece of fabric Bri had just tied up. Then a race back through the obstacles before delivering the fabric back to NL. The blonde Knight had tested the course herself, and ran the same exercises a few times a month. There was no such thing as too much training. To keep things fair, she'd race alongside and ensure no one cheated. Jedi were usually pretty honest, but the temptation to use a little creativity to beat your friends might be too enticing for some. Maybe I'm just projecting. It'll be fine.
Bri had designed the course in an oval shape, so that the ending trees were not too far from the start with the log jumps. She walked the short distance back through the foliage and found the starting area. NL rolled alongside and beeped a few words of caution.
"No, come on, it'll be fine. They'll know the limits of their own skills. And besides, you'll be there to help in case anyone gets hurt.'
The Jedi smiled at her own sarcastic joke, to which NL chose to ignore.
"I'll be running with them, so nothing to worry about," Bri added, holding her palm out. The droid's thoughts were in the right place, but in all seriousness, the Jedi knew the opportunity of injury was probably pretty low. Unless someone misjudged a jump, or underestimated the current in the river, or fell off a tree. Bri pulled out a canteen of water as they returned to the small camp at the start of the course, taking a quick sip. It was a warm day on the planet, but not overbearingly so. She'd dressed accordingly, a simple outfit of beige athletic trousers, and a grey tight tanktop. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail.
"Guess we'll wait," she commented to no one in particular, and took a seat on an appropriately placed log.
