This was the fourth life Reuben had been leading after being born to white collar parents on a core world, raised by farmers, being a Jedi and finally residing on the farming planet of Dantooine and getting mostly manual work where he could. It was far from a glamorous life but it was humble and the best he could ask for, given the circumstances, especially since Ash had put up with him for far longer than she ever needed to, even accepting him into her family and having her kids come to acknowledge him as their uncle.
As much as he wanted to distance himself from the Jedi, it was difficult to do so when he spent a majority of his time with his former master since the purge that almost wiped out the order, leaving him with no other home and no option to return to his family on Corellia which had been wavering under Mandalorian control. In the years since Arda's fall, he had accomplished nothing, all of his purpose had been placed in the order and all the hope he used to be so full of for the Jedi had gone, leaving him aimless and alone.
In recent years Reuben had grown distasteful of the Jedi, especially with Ash training her children in the ways of the force which he believed would only get them killed in the end. If the order was more prominent and if he had any spark of hope left then he wouldn't have been so adverse to the matter, there would be safety in numbers but at the numbers the Jedi were at now, they were at risk of being wiped out for good, all efforts to persist in rebuilding the order seemed futile.
Dantooine didn't provide many career opportunities since the main export was food supplies so Reuben was at the port in the nearest town trying to find anyone that could offer him the chance to get off Dantooine, particularly trying to target Corellians since they seemed the most likely to accept him as they tended to be drawn towards their own people. He had spent far too long being inactive, which was the very reason he had become so irked with the Jedi in the first place, it was time for a change.
Ash would be far from happy if he left without warning but he thought maybe it would be better this way, before he began to resent her too. As he approached two men standing outside a ship, clearly Corellian by their distinguished accent, he sensed an undeniable change which stopped him in his tracks. Another force sensitive, light-side affiliated at that. Reuben whipped around and his eyes scanned the people in town who were going about their daily business, no one stood among the crowds out until he turned back around and saw Kyi out of the corner of his eye.
