The spartan training rooms of Coruscant’s temple harbored little more than space and automated provisions suited to a variety of training regiments. The tarnished steel walls and opaque plastics gave little color to the austere temple environment. Caleb stood at the center of the expanse with his eyes drawn towards the large windows yet lost in another world’s horizon. Engrossed in the depths of his own consciousness he breathed from his pipe rhythmically, smoke clinging to the already cinereous scene.
He was here to meet his new Padawan for the first time and continue her training as a Jedi. Her name was Orianna: a young Coruscanti girl with a sorrowful past and a taste of the galaxy’s harsh realities. In many ways their shared grief-stricken pasts left them with somethings in common. Perhaps the Council had hoped their likeness would serve as both a foundation stone upon which to build their relationship and a keystone to hold it all together.
Continuing to whittle away at the fumes of his pipe, Caleb thought to himself of the kinds of training she would require, passively diverting his attention to his own. He had taken up smoking not long ago to practice the finer arts of Curato Salva and healing through the Force. Each breath that gave way to deathly soot was met by a resurgence of life. Hmmm, he tapped his pipe for a brief break in his meditative trance, recalling the time he first met his own teacher. He tried to place himself in her position, reflectively thinking of how he would react to himself. It only made him wonder what Orianna would be like.
