First Steps (Tratu Tuphi's Training)

[Lt. Beardsly]

It'd been four basic years since Tratu first arrived at the Jedi Temple. Now, he'd been selected to become a Padawan, after four years of learning about the Jedi and their code. As he walked down the hallway, he back down onto his datapad, at his summons to the room where his training would begin. He scratched at his left arm, it was growing a bit itchy. Whether it had been the burn or anxiety, he couldn't tell. As he lifted his head, there was the door. The door to begin his new life. The door suddenly came to life and opened.

This was Derho's first time taking a padawan, his own Master had recommended him to do it. "It was a fun experience" He had said, but Derho wasn't sure. He wasn't a teacher and he was worried he'd teach the young human wrong. But of course his master had convinced him otherwise and he naturally chose a padawan. He was in the Meditation chamber, where he had told his padawan to meet him.

Eventually he felt his Padawan approaching the door and he quickly placed the leather band back over his empty eye sockets. He stood and moved to the door, pushing it open gently and smiling down to the human child. "Ah, you must be Tratu Tuphi. It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Derho Mctol." He stood there in a the basic Jedi garb, though it was black and as was his robe. On the right hip was a very intricately designed and decorated lightsaber. His hair was pure white, despite the fact he didn't look a day over twenty five, and right under his bangs was a dark brown leather band that covered his eyes.

"Please come in here so we can get down to business." Derho moved to the side, yet politely held the door open for the young man.

Tratu bowed his head, greeting his new Master, "Hello, Master," and entered inside. He raised his head and looked up towards Derho, noticing the band covering his eyes. It stuck out most and left Tratu curious as to why it was there, but decided against asking. It didn't seem well-mannered, and it might be something that he didn't like talking about. There was a large handful of people that Tratu had met since he arrived at the Jedi Temple that had things they didn't feel like talking about. As Tratu neared the center of the room, he turned back towards his Master and awaited instructions.
