And now here they were, the last two of the expedition, the important task of clearing the way to the Forge itself. He was looking forward to seeing it, frankly. Even though he knew that he should not wish for such excitement, after all, it would be fraught with danger, and even were it not, such thoughts were not suited to a Jedi Knight. The jungle world had not suited his robe, and so he had left it back at the poorly landed ship (he had knocked over a few trees while attempting to land). Instead, he wore a simple armored set of lightweight clothes. They wouldn't do much in a fight against a lightsaber, he knew, but he was more concerned about the local fauna. His lightsaber hung at his hip, and tucked away was his notebook. He might need it later, should things go well.
The route was nothing too dangerous, at least for now, but he knew that they would need to be mindful. There were traps in need of clearing, after all. He was pretty sure that was why he was here, to be a beacon of the Force while his colleague took care of disarming the traps. Maybe he was here for his knowledge of local history, as limited as it was. He was by no means an expert on the Mandalorians, and there was no way to know what lay ahead in the Forge, for he did not even know how old it was. The Jedi had not changed much in the centuries since it had likely been built, but even then, their ingenuity and understanding of how to restrict access to the temples by only the worthy was quite astounding. He had heard rumors of places where only those possessing the Force had any chance of working the mechanisms to open the doors. He hoped there would be something interesting to challenge his knowledge. It would be fun to know how these things worked, after all.
The others had left to complete their own tasks, not that he had minded, at all, while he enjoyed the company of others, there was just as much reward to be had in self isolation. There was study, reading, meditation, and he must admit, he had a bit of a soft spot for attempting to design his own games using a standard sabaac deck. It was going well, he knew, but there was always fine tuning that needed to be done.
"Any idea what specifically we should be looking for?" He turned and asked Max, looking the other Hedi dead in the eyes. "I mean obviously the traps we were sent to remove, but are there any telltale signs or is this just a 'trust in the Force' kind of thing?" Kyp smiled a bit cheekily. He felt more comfortable letting his sense of humor be seen in these one on one settings. Even sometimes a small group of three or four that he knew well enough.
"By the way, did you hear, the Council assigned me a Padawan? I hadn't expected it to be so... difficult."
