Jas sighed quietly, but it was not a sigh brought on by being bored or tired. No, this was a sigh of barely contained excitement. He was finally chosen to become a padawan! Unless it had been a cruel joke played on him by one of the other hopefuls. He quickly wiped that idea from his mind.
He hadn't been given the name of his master-to-be or even a description, only instructions to wait for them to contact him. Thus, he waited in the training facility of the temple. He'd attempted training against one of the remotes, but after a few moments (and a couple of rather painful blaster burns) he found he was simply too excited to concentrate on his training.
The masters of the temple would likely scold him for that. We were taught that such emotions could be dangerous, and not just because it takes away from concentration. Normally, he was fairly good at keeping his emotions at bay, but this time, he saw no need for it. Today he'd actually become a padawan, or at least, he hoped so.
