It had been a long time coming, but the respite wasn't a permanent thing and Bruce knew that long beforehand. But if one thing was certain, the middle-aged master certainly knew to seize all breaks no matter how long they'd last, and this would be no exception. Bruce had made the decision that he needed sometime away, sometime to think and reflect on all the actions that had happened up until this day. To achieve that solitude, the bardottan had secured a simple civilian shuttle craft that could act as a temporary shelter. The shuttle was no luxury liner, but it was certainly an excellent way to 'camp' with and still have all the amenities of a city, it was clever, and it was nice for a change. After securing the shuttle he had stocked it with essentials including equipment, food, drink, bedding, entertainment, and the works. He just wanted to be comfortable, especially given where he was going. Bruce's plan was a simple plan really, he wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Jedi Temples and their residence, he wanted to swerve away from large concentrations of Dark Side or Light Side energies - he wanted to disappear for just a few days; but not a true disappearing act of course and he could think of one planet where people often went to disappear due to his vastness.
That planet was Tatooine.
Although Bruce wanted to 'disappear' he didn't choose to do it alone, no, company would be a welcoming break especially because he wasn't going into self-imposed exile or anything. He had asked a young Jedi he'd been interact with on various levels, a Jedi he first met on Ellora and since that day he had been impressed. The Jedi he wanted to join him on this break was an individual who he was surprised he had never encounter before given their own calling and given their impressive talents. His companion for this mission was a healer like himself, but though a healer, they had suffered a great loss - and by choice. They had done an extreme tactic but it had worked, the damage wasn't repairable by the Jedi Healers - at least not yet. The young Jedi Master had exemplary psychic talents that they'd demonstrated on many occasions, and Bruce wanted to work with them to help the young master gain control and understanding - and perhaps in time he could help solve the physical damage wrought upon the young raven haired master; and of course he'd hoped the make a friend out of the master with an ice glow in their eyes.
That Master was Jinlo Halan.
The Bardottan Jedi Master had developed a friendly attachment to the young master's gifts with the psychic energies she had flowing through her and it wasn't hard for Bruce to make note of how her body reacted to her use of her abilities. Noting how her eyes would change, noting how she often kept the restraints on the abilities, to him he suspected he had sensed a hesitance in using the natural gifts bestowed upon the raven haired Jedi. It was true, Bruce hadn't had much time to talk with Jinlo as each time they were generally in a situation where someone or something wanted to kill them - a rather difficult situation to try and have a casual conversation. But when Bruce had made the decision to simply scurry away for a short while, he couldn't help but to use that as an opportunity to ask her; that was Bruce. Someone needed help with understanding, and there was knowledge to gain - a new challenge to undertake, Bruce could ask for nothing more; but unlike others he had no desire for power nor did he want to seize such abilities for himself.
Had the young girl decline the invite, he would have done this trip anyways - it would have just been a little quieter.
It was early morning on Tatooine, and there wasn't any civilization to be found for quite some distance in any direction. What Bruce had done was take the shuttle and find a more secluded area of Tatooine, which wasn't difficult given the vast deserts and quiet honestly, Tatooine's port authority wasn't exactly on top of flights or even concerned with who was coming or going and where they were going - that's what made this lawless backwater planet so appealing for this decision. What would he have to contend with in the end? Tusken Raiders, Raiders, Gangsters. All which posed really no threat to the Master. The purpose of this little excursion was to meditate and study the inner workings of his own being, allow him some peace to meditate and understand.
Bruce got up from the desk located in his cabin he had arrived on Tatooine late and the flight was a little tiring. The cabins were simple in design, a single bed and a desk to work on. This particular shuttle was designed with 3 cabins all about the same size. The bardottan exited out of his cabin before making his way to the small galley, which contained all the basic necessities. He pulled a ready-made kind of meal from the refrigerator prepping it for himself and then having a seat when it was ready.
Jinlo would of course have her own cabin.
The shuttle was simple and Bruce was somewhat enjoying himself with the mere idea; it was a mobile home really. It had 3 cabins to call home (1 cabin was slightly larger than the other two which would flank the larger one), they had a fully equipped refresher (maximum comfort for a single individual - no claustrophobic sizes here) just before you entered the entertainment area which contained a couch and a single chair, access to multiple holovids and a holoscreen (Bruce would typically have the news on - but he wanted to shut the world out a bit, that was the goal. Besides, signal was weak in the desert...), the galley was a bit cramped but fully functional; containing a small table that would fit 2 comfortably - just off the entertaining area; and lastly of course the cockpit dominated the front of the shuttle which oversaw the entertaining area as they were connected in an open-concept type of system.
As for all the technical stuff, that was actually underneath the living area; but those halls were considered small compared to the living area; those areas could be accessed by climbing down a shaft located near the sleeping area and when you got down into the guts of the ship, well you had to be careful since the bulkheads were low.
Bruce had taken up a position at the dining table in the galley, he looked out at the twins suns as they crept up to greet the vast deserts surrounding them. He was mostly content, but he was also eager to get to work with Jinlo on a more personal level, because realistically - how could you trust your companions if you didn't take the time to actually talk to them outside of trying to protect yourself from blaster fire or dodging a claw of some horrible twisted darkside abomination?
It was certainly difficult.
