Dantooine, a planet of rolling hills and lush seas of amber grass. Settlements dot the landscape with small ranches scattered about the endless plains. The settlement of Kavas has thrived for decades on the peaceful planet. The product of hard labor and prime location. Situated between two rivers Kavas attracts travellers with its calming ambience andcompetent militia, who keep the settlement secure from roving kath hounds and the occaisional raider.
Karva Nise, a Jedi Padawan who recently arrived from Ossus, patiently awaits her fellow padawan at the Kavas spaceport. Though to call it a spaceport would be an overstatement. Though a tourist attraction, Kavas was not bustling with activity on a regular basis. The spaceport was only large enough to situate a handful of ships. Most of the space was reserved for freighters that were coming and going as they unloaded and loaded cargo.
The Lethan Twi'lek sat upon a squat and round chair with soft brown upholstery. Her legs were crossed and her hands rested at her sides. She wore her lekku with one around her neck and the other over her left shoulder. As usual she was dressed in the traditional padawan garb. She carried a lightsaber on her belt. The pure white casing seemed to glow in the light of the afternoon sun.
A few folks gave her brief glances as they walked by. They were more suprised to see the rare skin color of her species than her Jedi garb. A few children even watched her from a distance, hiding behind the landing struts of a freighter. From their dirty coveralls and sun-kissed skin she could tell they were local kids. With a white-toothed smile Karva waved at the group. It seemed as if the gesture was taken as invitation because the small cadre of younglings rushed over to the Padawan's seat and surrounded her.
She could only laugh as they posed question after question while a little girl poked and prodded at Karva's lekku. Hiding the discomfort with a look of pleasant surprise she took the little girl's hand and gently pushed it away. "Careful now, those are attached!" she said in a playful tone, hoping to convey the message to the rest of the kids. She scrunched her face after a moment and held up her arms, her hands hung limply forward with fingers crooked. With a goofy shake of her head she jokingly exclaimed, "Ugga bugga!"
The children erupted in excited shreaks as they rushed off in mock fright, giggling the entire way. The moment of play, however, did little to abate Karva's concern. She was not here on a vacation. A padawan had fled one of the Jedi temples and it was feared that he may have turned to the dark side. At the moment Karva only had the short story of it all. She wanted the facts, and the lost padawan had them.
