Azur watched the setting sun as it slowly sank beyond the horizon, admiring its soft, orange glow. The tails of his robes lightly fluttered in the breeze, dragging before him as the winds swept down the cliff before him. He was but a few feet from the edge, stood upon a plateau that, in ages past, had been thrust up by tectonic processes that now merely stirred. Perhaps another such event would occur, or perhaps the terrain would lay dormant forever, cut upon by only the wind and the ever rare rain. Whatever the case, the sun would still be there, radiating its light for ages to come upon the surface of Korriban, whatever may happen.
And what would happen today was likely to be sight that sun had overlooked thousands of times - a teacher training a student.
Specifically, the Crusader would be teaching one Lillieth Sunsinger, a relatively recent addition to the academy. Many of the students he sought out seemed to fall into the category, and he supposed he would prefer it that way. It was far easier to find comfort in being the teacher when you at least had a few years on your pupil.
He cast his eyes over his shoulder, looking towards the path that led from the Academy, to the plateau. It was a distance of many miles, and a journey that, even by speeder, would take an hour at least - likely more. He had considered using the Valley of Golg, but found that on this day, there would a patrol in the area, and he preferred not to risk an interruption. This location would have the same intended effect as was, in that it would demand his potential pupil to actually have at least some commitment towards her path, rather than a tolerance for walks out into the academy courtyard, or to a classroom. He needed a student that was willing to explore new horizons.
"...J, are the preparations complete?" He spoke into a commlink in his hands, getting back a series of whining noises from his astromech.
"...Roger that." He smiled, lowering the commlink, and now simply waited for young Miss Sunsinger...
