“I’m coming to believe that we must all interpret the Code for ourselves, or it ceases to be a living pact and becomes nothing but a prison cell.”

Fiach knew the time would come. She knew from a point even before she had been Knighted and finally became able to call herself a Jedi. And it was not that she did not want to face the truth, but that – until this point – she was accountable for herself. And only herself. Sure, she undertook solo missions, but they were fleeting responsibilities. Today was the day when she would be held liable for the life of another. No, more than that, she was answerable for his development. Should he stray from the path – she would be looked at first. Should he fail to become a Knight – she would be considered at fault.
But it was a role she was not going to shy away from nor fail to embrace. Today was the day she would take her first ever Padawan. It was slightly awkward that she already knew him. Or maybe that was a positive? She shrugged her shoulders and then realised what she was doing and straightened them. Glancing around, she wondered if anyone had seen her innermost thoughts spilling out into visible body language.
She was sitting on a bench, near the Jedi Academy on Ajan Kloss. She wore her usual robes and her left hand went to the back of her head, to the spot where her Padawan braid was until so recently. She smiled and placed her hands on her lap and closed her eyes, meditating and awaiting the arrival of the person she would soon be required to monitor training and overall development.
