"Technically, no, since such a sign of impatience by a jedi of my rank would be setting a bad example for those of the same rank, and padawans like yourself. Besides, you did mention that I could trust you." Raven replied, grinning.

"Well, Padawans like myself are hard to keep under control because things like that are of no bother and isn't anything we would say out in the open anyways. And I never said I would tell anybody what you said, either, because I mean to keep my word that you can trust me." He grinned back at her, and then stood up and stretched his legs as they came to a complete landing. Eyeing Raven in askance, he held out a hand to help her up.

"Yeah, you have a point there." Raven laughed, accepting the hand offered to help her stand up.

"Anyways, where are we headed from here, and are we there yet?" Raven asked.

OOC: Amalia has been absent, still must be. But we can improvise for now, I suppose...


<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> The ship approached Coruscant, and fell into an orbit around the planet. After obtaining clearance it broke orbit to descend into the atmosphere settle into one of the docking bays of a bustling space port.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->


Leia, who hadn't been seen to any of the Jedi since the beginning of the ride, entered the main passenger area through a door from the front of the ship and stopped to address everyone.

"Well, we're here. Accomodations have already been taken care of, we'll be staying at a hotel complex not too far away. I don't suppose we're starting out immediately, so after I give you all each packets of needed materials, like maps, lists of places you'll need to know, and keys to your rooms, you can be out of here..."

Leia moved to the back of the ship and pulled a box out of a compartment, then opened it. Inside was a large stack of thick grey folders.

"They're labled, find yours and you're free."

Leia smiled and took a seat near the back out of the way for the moment.

Adrian had spent much of the duration of the ride near the back of the lounge, casually listening in on what some of the other Jedi were saying, but all in all minding his own business as he wondered what was going to happen next. He could have moved to ask Amalia, the Jedi who had called the meeting and subsequent exertion, but glancing down the way he saw her fully engrossed in her reading, and didn’t want to distract her from that. After all, it was probably important to the mission, and he shouldn’t hinder that in any way.

The other person he could have asked was Leia, but she had disappeared into the front of the ship, and he got the feeling that the area out there was out-of-bounds, so he stayed seated, drifting in and out of meditation as the transport flew through hyperspace. It was still hard to concentrate, though, made so by the feeling of the ship travelling through space. Adrian had grown up not around ships, but around gardens and the outdoors, so he was unused to travelling in this manner, although he had on other occasions.

Still, the feeling hyperspace gave him didn’t let him retain the calmness he felt in the Training Grounds on Naboo, so he did little for rest or meditation on the trip out. Although in reality it should be called trips. Travelling from Naboo to Coruscant - half way across the known Galaxy - could not easily be done in one leg. At least, certainly not with the transport they had been supplied.

All in all, Adrian was rather happy when they touched down on Coruscant. Space travelling didn’t agree with him all that much.

“Well, we’re here,” Leia’s words echoed in Adrian’s head as she moved down the length of the transport from wherever she had been up front. She reached the back end, a little past Adrian, and began unfastening a box as she continued talking. The folders inside were large, and dark in colour.

“They’re labelled, find yours,” Leia addressed all the Jedi in the lounge, spreading the folders out over the back few seats as she did so and walking away from the pile to take a seat as the Jedi converged on it.

Adrian spotted his quickly, among the others, and snatched it up before the first of his fellow students could reach where he was. Then, he quickly made his exit, moving down the lounge toward the hatch, opening as he watched it, as behind the other Jedi started to do the same. Patience is a virtue, and for the Jedi a way of life, but there was no point in staying here longer than need be.

Adrian was the first out of the hatch, the sunlight catching his face and reflecting in his eyes as he walked down the landing ramp.

The shuttle lay behind him, the bustling super-city of Coruscant in front.

This was going to be a very interesting trip, indeed.

Raven waited for a couple of moments after the box had been placed down on the floor, and watched one person locate his and exit the ship.

Seeing that the others were being hesitant, Raven shrugged her shoulders, and located hers, darting out of the ship, down the boarding ramp, and into the city at last stopping suddenly to look about her.

What she saw definately was better than any worded description.

And her sudden stop had mad another person behind her to crash right into her.

One small town jedi, in the big, bad city for the first time. Now, things were going to be interesting.

Tec laughed out suddenly as he realised he had bumped into Raven, not noticing he had already caught up to her. The folder for him was in his back cloak pocket and his credits and such were inside his cloak at the front. Helping Raven up, Tec apologized and then half pulled her along behind him. "Come on, I have a special place I'd like to show you."

Raven didn't mind it all, being ran into. She knew, somehow, it had been her fault, but now, it didn't matter.

Being lead along, she grinned with child-like wonderment at the glimpse of the city, holding the folder in her free arm.

"Where are we going?" Raven asked, almost ducking as an air-taxi flew over their heads.

Tec grinned mischeviously. "We're going to an old imperial headquarters. It's a cool place, but last I saw, it was covered with dust and somewhat empty..."

"Old building?" Raven asked, a puzzled frown upon her face.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Well, he was the tour guide, Raven reasoned, putting the folder into an inner pocket of her deep violet-colored robe.

Yet another vehicle buzzed overhead, making her flinch.

"Gotta get used to that." Raven muttered, shaking her head.
