"Do you think we should go look for him?" Theia asked, turning to glance at Prani; she didn't do well to hide how she felt on her face, the concern reflected in her eyes as she reached up to grab a lock of her red hair to wind between her fingers. They were accompanying a Knight, an Iktotchi named Linnon Bor, who wanted to give the padawans hands on work in diplomacy. It was pretty straight forward as a mission, the three of them would meet with the different clans in the region and help compromise and negotiate a plan for all of the people to share the river's coast that ran through several of the villages. That very river was what Theia had been watching for the past two days as Knight Bor had told them to stay put, and he would return before dawn. Her mind had wandered to as to what could have happened, anything from being ambushed by thieves to being caught in a mudslide from the non-stop rains.
However, Theia felt it was something a bit more complicated; asking the locals if they had seen him seemed to deter them from further speaking with herself and Prani. They were weary of the padawans as many seemed to retreat back into their homes, sliding the doors shut before they even risked making eye contact with the two young jedi. The restlessness within Theia was growing and it made her uneasy to wait as long as they were, they at least had the hospitality of one of the respected families in the village. The matriarch was concerned too, but gave words of encouragement to the girls that their Knight would come back soon, recommending for them to stay put also for their own safety.
"We could leave when the lanterns burn out and just go up and down the river." Theia suggested as she watched the river, finding it more relaxing than she predicted.
