Kayin Tendaji
"Why are we at war with the Hutts Kayin?" The little youngling's question brought a sad smile to Kayin's face. He was sitting on a flat stone in the Temple Gardens. It was a beautiful place, and Kayin often meditated there, alone or with friends, when he needed to set his mind at ease. He often felt that the spirits of at least one great Jedi Master must call this place home, for it even seemed especially easy to reach out to the Force in this place.
The Gardens were entirely indoor, but at first glance this did not seem to be the case. Its high and well-lit ceiling was colored in pale pastels to give the impression of an Ossun sunrise, and the walls curved to seamlessly join the ceiling. There was a small pool of crystal clear water, at the edge of which sat Kayin and Glen. Large flat stones dotted the grass and shrub covered floor to be used as seats. A tastefully designed fountain gurgled constantly in the background, feeding the pool. Unobtrusive exits lead to the mess hall, the Temple's Hangers, and a wing of dormitories for older students.
Today Kayin was there not for himself, but for the alien sitting at his side. The little Jedi Hopeful was no more than five or six years old, but Kayin had noticed the way he picked dispiritedly at his food at the evening mess. He'd invited him to the Gardens hoping that he'd tell him what was weighing on his mind. Kayin only learned his name, Glen, that day, but he had a modest reputation of being a kind ear and tutor to Younglings, who found his fur-covered hands and body and gentle personality comforting.
"Not everyone in the galaxy is as wise as the Jedi I guess." he said, turning his gaze to the pool at their feet. "The Hutts are more interested in riches than in helping others. That's why we gotta stop them." Kayin knew this to be true, having spent the last few years hearing about the devastation the war had caused. If only the Hutts were willing to open negotiations, the galaxy might be spared from the conflict.
He looked back at the youngling, who's little mind was struggling with the concept of beings who cared only about themselves, who might one day be called upon to fight the Hutt empire, and who would certainly in his life see terrible deeds committed. Kayin promised himself then that he'd do everything in his power to end the war before Glen was made to fight in it, and put one comforting arm around his shoulders.
