Jedi Base, Kothlis
The galaxy was a place that was always alive, always in motion, and always requiring attention. This was a reality for people all over civilized space, whether your Mom lived on the other side of your planet or a business partner lived on the other side of the galaxy. For the Jedi, it meant that you had to create your own cycles of days and nights, as frequent travel to many different places did not allow a shared pattern of sleeping and living.
The Grand Master of the New Jedi Order felt that there was never enough time to sleep. It was not a new thought to the aging Corellian, but it had certainly taken on a renewed vigor in the last few weeks. Fires to put out, Jedi to promote, the rulers of the galaxy to overthrow for the betterment of the galaxy - you know, just Jedi things. It all seemed too much sometimes, but nonetheless life continued on and the cycle continued.
Today, however, was a different sort of day. Larik had found that he had nodded off during hyperspace traveling to the Jedi's main base of operations on Kothlis, and he had awoken somewhat concerned for his own safety. There was some mild irritation, as well, when he found that he could not fall asleep in his room on the Jedi's beach base. Realizing he still need to relax while he had a few minutes, he had elected to do something a bit out of the ordinary to help steer his mind from the last mission and to relax.
And so, at about 4:00pm local time - about the time he should probably be sleeping - Grand Master Novan was seen wheeling a fair sized portable grill from the kitchen through the halls. A few Padawans stopped to watch, and they were even more surprised when they saw him go back to the kitchen and then disappear again. The base was by no means large, but it could hold a fair number of the Jedi comfortably. Many who were mingling around might be surprised to hear a lively beat ring from outside as the sounds of a song started to permeate the white sandy beach surrounding the base.
Outside, complete with sunglasses, a half-buttoned flower shirt, and swimming trunks, the Grand Master stood shoeless over a grill and began cooking a few delicious looking meats. The Corellian hummed along and nodded his head as he focused on the task at hand. "Hey," he said to a Padawan who had ventured out to investigate, pointing his spatula at the young Rodian, "Go change into your swimming trunks and grab a few chairs for out here." Without waiting for a reply, the man turned back to the now sizzling meats.
