Terrick sat alone and quiet in the courtyard of the temple, occasionally brushing a hand through his shortly cropped hair as he normally did when he was nervous these days. He still regretted cutting it all so short, but he had been confident in his decision when he first came to the jedi and their temple and noticed the braids all the padawan's wore and promptly took a razor and set to work saving himself from having to have one too. A truly sad day that had been. A day that was almost a week gone now.
The Barata had been here for what seemed an eternity now, and in that time he had done little in what he expected of his jedi training. He thought he had demonstrated he knew enough about wielding the force about when they had asked, and expected that to mean he could be immediately thrown into all the learning and training he wanted. At least given a lightsaber out of courtesy. But no, they make me wait a week... The young man tugged at his padawan robes as he shuffled impatiently on the stone bench. The clothing was comfortable enough, not something he would have chosen if he had the choice, but it was still odd for him, still alien to what he knew. It was all this waiting that had him on edge most of the time. When Terrick wasnt busy concentrating on a task, it meant his mind had time to wander, and after such a massive shift in his life like joining the order, there was a dangerously large amount of things to think about.
The temple was one thing, the huge structure catching him in complete awe the first time he laid eyes on it from the ship that had brought him here, but it was the people within that truly had him uncomfortable, especially the older jedi. They all had an air of wisdom about them and eyes that could look deep into someone and just know, without any words needed to be said. Eerie. Then there was the planet itself. The bustle and ceaselessness of the gargantuan city was overwhelming to say the least, and nothing like his home. With a hushed sigh, the lad pushed the unwelcome and distracting thoughts from his mind as best he could. He had been informed he had been assigned someone to take the reigns of his training today, a master. He wasnt exactly sure if he would ever be comfortable calling someone that, but that wasnt of any importance when compared to the fact that he was finally being given a start. Oh, so exciting.
