It had been a while since Valon Orphen had walked across the botanical gardens of Empress Teta, likewise it had been a while since Orphen had found it within her to teach those around her, she'd been travelling, though she had suffered a loss at the hands of a Sith Pureblood, she was determined to get back on track, the creature, the monster, had taken her light sabre, Orphen took the loss hard, but understood that some things were out of her control, but what was important was her most precious treasure, the Anterres Crystal was undamaged, and unharmed. Having been clasped into its wrist hold at the time of her loss, it had more than likely saved her life, though she could not quite remember the details. She would no doubt have to meet the creature on the battlefield some time in the future, and such a time entailed her to not only be ready physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.
The Light of the Force was docked at a space station above the planet, most of the younger Padawans and younglings on board were allowed to come to the planets surface for a small while, so long as there were no signs of danger. Orphen saw the wisdom in the decision, but all the while, she thought it was risky, to have the future of the Jedi order consolidated and stationed in one location was a dangerous strategy to say the very least, and not one that Orphen was particularly happy with. But as she saw many of them located around the Gardens, she could not help but smile, their wide eyed innocence, even in a time of war and strife was uplifting and warming to the heart. Orphen spent a great amount of time sitting and talking to them, as the dealer she had employed to locate her light sabre crystals had also called in to say he was en route to teta to deliver his next drop off, and receive his next payment. It seemed that today was going to be both productive, and progressive to a multitude of Orphen's goals, and that things were working out for the best.
She still wore her white and silver Rakatan made armour, her hood over her head which her unnaturally arched back lekku allowed for with a much higher degree of comfort than most other Togruta. Her montrals falling down behind her all the while. Within her armour weave coat were small pockets, each bearing their individual, well ordered prize of crystals, her stunning blaster at her hip and finally the ever familiar blade Caris was situated on her back, sheathed firmly as the shard at the pommel of the blade was for once in his existence silent. Orphen had, had time to create and forge a new light sabre with a slightly better grip but otherwise identical to her old one in the time she had been despairing, such did not take her too long to find the pieces she needed, many were common while others, not so. The Adegean crystal lens being one of them as well as several other key components were a little more expensive, which had blasted a small hole in Orphens pocket at the time, making times hard, losing your weapon bought with it a degree of shame which Orphen had to face, by now, long since spent and concluded.
So, it was time for her to take up her reigns as a Jedi knight once again, the Light of the Force presented a unique opportunity to take one of the many younglings under her wing, and potentially move onto the Light of the Force one it had finished loading provisions and refuelling which would take the better part of a day or even two. She'd looked through the youngling registry and many of them seemed accounted for save one which had caught her eye. A young Nautolan girl, whom seemed to have had somewhat of a rough life compared to some of the other kids in the room, and Orphen could relate to that. Orphen's eyes scanned the horizon for Avieiva, her bird as it perched in the tree Orphen had situated herself in the shade of, her legs crossed and waiting. Reaching out to the light side of the force and finding harmony in her resonance with everything around her.
