Ze'kyre leaned back in his seated position, and looked up to see the stars himself. Alright then, a few more minutes. He thought about what might be happening for his brothers in sisters of the Order. Regret was not something the monk felt however, despite staying longer than he had intended, clearly it had been meant to be, and even thought he had only just met Nakoma today he somehow knew they would be close for a very long time to come. The notion warmed him, and with a soft smile he reclaimed his position lying beside the young woman, setting the flute down to his left.
"Not quite, it will take us a while to get to the city. It is not too far, but a days travel at the least." If they jogged for most of the daylight. "But when you do find yourself amongst the stars it may at first be startling." He revisited his first moment upon a space shuttle. It had been rather frightening, and exhilarating all at the same time, to realize that Thyrsus was no longer anything more than the furthest spec of dust, growing further the whole time he travelled to Coruscant. The monk remembered the way the stars had stretched out when the ship had entered warp, and a chuckle escaped him as he imagined what Nakoma's face would look like when she saw the same scene for the first time.
The trees continued to sway, as if they could still hear the final chord, their branches reaching out to brush past and obscure the sight of certain stars and constellations. "But it will be inspiring to see all that you will come to fight for. Their are many young Jedi waiting to bring the Universe back to balance. I think you will make a lot of friends within the Order." Ze'kyre had always been a bit of a loner himself. His charismatic master and mentor had helped him to come out of his shell during his time as her padawan, but it was not until today that he had known what it was like to completely let go of your barriers, or even forget they were there. He enjoyed the sense of closeness Nakoma brought out of him, and somehow knew that even though he would be teaching her the ways of battle and balance, he also had a lot to learn from her.
Lifting his arms and placing his hands behind his head, he willed the feeling of serenity to continue on. He knew in the morning he would have to return to his duties as a Jedi, resharpen himself and prepare for the journey back. He knew somehow that the daughter of the Hidden Forest was prepared to leave, as her tribe must truly have prepared her for this day since her birth, but it still felt harsh to have to take her from such an abundant life. Ze'kyre turned his head and looked at her. Nakoma's amber eyes were full of adventure and he could see her imagination at work.
His lazy grin widened. "You must be very excited. I could not imagine, to finally meet the day you were born waiting for. I feel very fortunate to be the one to find you, Nakoma."
