Normally a Jedi Temple was a calm and relaxing enough place. But it didn't make it a good vacation spot for people. The planet of Dorumaa was mostly covered in water. But there were rare mountainous islands on the surface that allowed resorts and businesses to exist.
Byron entered the Verdant Lotus day spa from double sliding green doors parting smoothly to either side and disappearing into walls. The lobby had the soft smell of flowers waft out from the the air and made its way to the Knights nostrils. A well dressed hostess in the form of an female devaroian at a desk. A door behind and a door on either side lead to different parts of the spa and Byron stood looked in each long enough to attract the attention of a staff member.
"Are you here as part of the Ryker reservation?" The voice of the female devaronian came across coolly like a glass of cucumber water. Byron smiled warmly in return and gave a nod. Her name tag said 'Samarha'. Her intuition was pretty spot on though.
"Yeah. That's me. Anybody else arrive early?" He asked. The retreat to the Verdant Lotus was meant for things to be a proper vacation sort of environment. "There may be some already inside Master Jedi. Feel free to enter. There are robes and lockers in the changing rooms behind me as well." She added a bit formally for Byron's tastes.
This was the first day of the arranged stay at the spa. There were overnight lodging with rooms. The man could already smell which direction the food was coming from. "Thanks Samarha. I'll find them. Food's this way?" He pointed to the door on the right and was already walking towards it by the time she gave him a nod of head. "Thanks."
On the other side of the threshold there were numerous luxurious lounge chairs with a few coffee tables and ottomans for comfort. A bar with a wide range of beverages behind it was attended by a well custom crisp-o droid incased in what looked like a thin mahogany chasis. Having set up this Jedi retreat himself, Byron knew what he could go for first but wanted to loosen up with a drink first. Ordering a rummy tonic, he took the glass and began to walk towards the back of the building. Private massage rooms, a bath house that was filled by a natural hot spring, pedicures and manicures, hair cuts and shaves this place had it all. The muscular Jedi planned to try each of them out in turn over the next few days. Twi'leks, humans and even a few gungans were staff members by the looks of things.
For now, he stayed in the lounge wondering if others had found the place so far. It had been a long time since he had relaxed and set his Jedi business aside. Furthermore, Byron had not been in touch with Jedi compatriots a lot lately and maybe that could be rectified with some time spent easing their stresses here. This was the closest thing to a company retreat as a Jedi got. Byron sipped the rummy tonic until some beads were added to his mustache though he wiped them away a moment later with a sleeve.
