Ask Can it be called homework if you aren't at home?

[Anai Skhess]

To say things didn't go the way Anai wanted them to go was an understatement. Her first real battle as a sith acolyte had been promptly interrupted and taken from her by a blunder that came from their own faction. She had wounded the jedi she was fighting quite heavily, he was limping, she could see herself ending that fight not too soon after, being the first to take care of a jedi and then collecting a lightsaber before marching besides the sith lord deeper into the planet of Ithor was exactly what she wanted, it would've made it clear that she had a promising future ahead of her.

People at the academy would either fear or respect her rather than judge her for her species and lack of understanding of many things, she would make her ancestors proud! Instead she was just another name in a battle that would be remembered as a tie because of some officer's blunder, she was sure darth Draugr had already executed whoever fucked it up, but that didn't make her feel any better. And to top it off, one of her teachers gently reminded her to do her homework the day after, and it was droid engineering out of all things! She had to deal with an assignment she understood nothing about in an outpost that really didn't give her access to anything that could help her.

So, The Kaleesh acolyte would be found at a small studying area that had been set up specifically for the acolytes but really didn't have much, her notebook open in the middle of the table, but Anai was just pacing back and forth with an intense look on her face, taking a look at her notebook from time to time before sharply inhaling and exhaling and going back to pacing. It was obvious that she couldn't concentrate right now as she looked like a lion whose food had been stolen, while the Kaleesh was big, but usually calm, this was probably the most intimidating she had looked out of combat, eyes wide open behind her bone mask as she just thought of the many ways she could've attacked that jedi afterwards in her head...A pissed off big Kaleesh lady was something people would probably not expect when coming there but she didn't care and she didn't plan on going anywhere, she was trying to study, emphasis on trying.

[Soleil Altan]

Soleil was still lowkey grumpy about the initial invasion of Ithor. He already didn't like being confined to the tight space inside those transports and having to board again so quickly wasn't the least bit fun. His plan of participating for some renown failed too since he and the Jedi had just skirmished back and forth for a few seconds before the bombardment again. Sol spitefully hoped whoever ordered the bombardment got thrown out a window.

So now he was on Ithor again, using his talents for memorization and puzzle-solving to help get the drop on defending forves. Frankly he was exhausted, but an acolyte's duty was never done. He still had homework to submit to his teachers over the holonet and was walking toward the assigned study area, can of opened Emryc Energy in hand for a little boost.

There was a wandering Kaleesh inside, prowling about like she was planning the grizzly murder of her notebook. Sol blinked, realizing suddenly why a couple of other acolytes were hedging about outside the doorway. He entered anyway and put his bag down on the table. Still, as much as he'd like to just get to it, the pacing was distracting.

He waved at her by way of greeting and then looked at the notebook, squinting as he saw a droid diagram. Formulaic math and memorizing engineering plans he was fine with, but actually putting stuff together took real practice for him. Not his strongest subject when it came to the practical side of things. Sol quietly took out his engineering homework and sort of waved it in the air in hopes Anai would get the idea.
