The grasslands of Dantooine were a far cry from the jungles of Tiss'sharl, but the air was... calm. Inviting. The last time Vaas-Nal-Tor had been here, it had been because an unseen force-- with a capital F, he later found out-- had guided him here. It was here that he had discovered that he possessed 'the Force' in sufficient quantities to affect himself and the world around him, and he had learned how to commune with it. But he had left after that, not sure whether he was fit to join the Jedi Order considering his past-- though he had not spoken much of it to those here, and especially not to Ciri Vis, the young girl whom had been the first person he had met on this world.
He had left because he had needed time to determine whether or not the Jedi were truly the path he was meant to take. And even now, as he gazed upon the doors of the Jedi Compound, he was uncertain still.
"I do not think I can do this," he said, one of his reptilian eyes looking to his companion and only friend, Cienna Laytham. The tall, brunette human female rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Vaas, I've seen you rip people's throats out in the blink of an eye in the heat of battle, I've seen you figure out how to infiltrate a high-security building and get out without so much as a scratch. And you're telling me you can't knock on a damn door?"
"No, it is just... Will they accept me? I do not know if my time on Gamorr years ago had corrupted me... I was little more than an animal then. Was I even using the Force?"
"I don't know, Vaas," Cienna replied. Her tone was softer now, and she patted his snout comfortingly. "But I've heard they're fighting for your home right now, so I doubt they'll be put off by your teeth and claws. If this is really what the Force wants with you, the only way we're gonna find out is if you straighten up, knock on that door, and go inside. You can do it, Vaas. I know you can."
Vaas hesitated, and sighed. "Yes... You're right, Cienna. Thank you." he said. He straightened himself up to his full height, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door as firmly as he could.
