LORRD, OUTER RIM
7.00am local time
Dash Pavan could not stand still.
It was not a strength of his at the best of times, but the young Padawan was finding it impossible this morning.
"Are you quite sure I can't help you young man?" the droid chimed. The stupid thing had been bothering him for the last ten minutes.
"Yes!" Dash replied, shooing the droid away. He didn't need a babysitter and the last thing he wanted to look today was unsure of himself. "I've told you, I'm not lost, I don't need directions, I don't need anything. I just need to be on my own please!".
"Very well Sir..." the protocol unit said, somehow managing to look unconvinced. It teetered off to resume its friendly patrol of the promenade, looking back at the young Jedi more than once.
Dash breathed a sigh of relief and tried to stop pacing, leaning on the rail and looking out over the valley. It was a clear, cold day but he wore no cloak over his close-fitting navy robes, rarely feeling the chill even in a place like Lorrd.
He knew he should relax, but today was a big day. A real assignment, with a real Jedi, and one he'd not met before. A Knight at least, that's what the message had said.
This could be his chance to start things properly. Listen, learn, impress. That was what his mother used to say. Dash felt he could do it, he knew he could.
He watched the ships transitting back and forth, ignoring the wind messing up his hair. How did you impress a real Jedi?. Would this one be tough and no nonsense like Hera Albion, or maybe dark and mysterious like Faen Akatosh. Or something else entirely?
He had no idea, and he knew even less about their mission on Lorrd.
Dash smiled in spite of himself. It was scary, but it was also fracking exciting.
