Ian was rather excited for today. Only yesterday, he had been informed that a Jedi Knight had chosen him for their padawan. He wasn't told which one, just that there was one. It was difficult not to be anxious. He had waited on this day for quite some time, and now, finally, it was coming to pass.
Just as a friend of his from the Arkanian gem mine's had said many times over. 'It didn't come to stay. It came to pass.' Ian had taken comfort in that proverb so many times before, and especially of late, when he considered the length of time he had gone without a Master, someone to teach him directly, personally, the ways of the Jedi and of the Force.
He adjusted his attire, his hair, even smoothing down his leather, sleeveless robe. He was ready for this. He knew that much. It wasn't arrogance or pride. It was confidence. Confidence in himself. Calming his nerves, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, letting them out slowly.
Emotion, yet peace...
