Nomi stretched her shoulders and followed the giddy-energy teen to the cockpit. She knew from his voice what the view of ‘home’ over his shoulder was about to be. Having a few seconds’ preparation wasn’t enough to give her a sense of how she felt about it, so she dropped self-evaluation from her pri...

(Continued from here. ) It was then that an alarm in the cockpit rang out and he felt the ship drop from hyperspace. He glanced at the chronograph in the cargo hold after a near adrenaline dump. They were there already?! Time seemed to have entered hyperspace as well. How long had they been talking...

Force; Nomi loved how much freer and faster she could think with a decent hilt in her palm. It was more of a default than an advantage; she knew Jaxon’s would be the same. She lunged, he flipped hands and sprang—strike—parry—blades slamming back together. Even in a too-small durasteel box to keep th...

HEY—! The faint blue glow contained in the rim of her hilt emitter sprang to a full Guardian lightsaber blade with single SNAP, even as the nearly-twelve year old’s eyes flashed her shock. How.. She’d been watching the stun-cuffed Dark boy and guarding his hilt—and she knew how those cuffs felt!— H...

Nomi’s hard brown eyes had glinted when Alec tossed the smirking look at her, but the dark hilt on her belt and the familiar one in her grasp kept her grounded. She was currently more invested in keeping her focus on him than she was in winning the staring match or the sarcasm game. She kept her fre...

Whatever they’d gotten snagged on, Adrian didn’t push her on it and Nomi had bigger things to worry about right now. So she didn’t worry about it. Her master was here and at least was confident that he had her back while she waved in the general direction of the shuttle again and continued watchfull...

….wait.. what? Of course he was a person. Nomi felt lost in the conversation and had to rapidly backtrack to understand why they’d suddenly gone from casual banter to chastising her in public. A flicker of hurt brushed across Nomi’s face and mind that Adrian would embarrass her like that, though to ...

Nomi was privately a little irritated at the way her master casually threw her under the shuttle and batted the ball back to her instead of going along with her premise that they’d had anything resembling an agreed-on plan about this beforehand. It had been a gamble though and there was no sense mop...

Still leveling her stare at the Sith boy, Nomi Joi crossed her arms at Alec’s sudden recovery into strength and cockiness. See? She’d told him he was fine! “No. Did that work on the dead friends too?” The dissatisfied look she’d been giving Alec had disappeared though; so there was that. Nomi also f...

Not to be distracted, the girl's dark brown eyes stayed fixed on the Sith boy during his furious outburst at her master. Although... her senses tingled from straining to pay even more attention to their surroundings just in case, and her fingers shifted a little from wishing there was a saber hilt a...

Nomi’s unimpressed reaction escaped through her nose in a short scoff at the slightly older boy. She still didn’t know whatever Adrian wanted her to be doing here, but falling for dumb pity acts from obviously combat trained Sith boys was not it. Alec was fine. She didn’t even trust him with the wri...

The Padawan’s eyes glanced briefly toward her master when he gave them some space, but Adrian was being smug and didn’t seem inclined to give her much guidance at the moment. Fine then. That made it trickier to keep acting like she was on the same page with him, but he obviously knew that and had br...

Adrian: The young Sith leaned back slightly as Adrian knelt beside him. A Ji’dai with a Sith tattoo amd in ancient sith script no less. Who was he? His fear intensified and he swallowed hard. With Adrian being so close he had a hard time looking past to Nomi who was admiring his saber. He slowed hi...

Hours ago: Nomi slammed them out of orbit and into a basic trajectory out of the system, then let turned in her seat and let Adrian deal with the controls. He hadn’t given her a heading; that was for sure. “Are you gonna say where we’re going?” “Negative. Better go sleep; you’re going to need it.” ...

Adrian: A breath of stale air from the in crept it’s way into his lungs as he had watched his Padawan. A smile formed as he nodded. “You’re welcome. Hmmm. I wonder.” He turned and looked at his comm unit on his left wrist. He grinned. “What is classroom instruction without some field work? Get your...

The tanned eleven year old took Adrian’s blade and gently tested the edge; careful not to slice herself. Eventually she spun the the knife methodically around her fingers. Sometimes she watched her hands, sometimes his face. They were talking about difficult things. It was easier to think and hear h...

Adrian: He sat there and digested her words slowly. He allowed his face to hide nothing, her comments perhaps weren’t meant to be venomous but a few of them did pack a bit of a punch. He watched her eyes look at his hands and he felt he could almost read her thoughts. He sighed “A truly innocent pe...

Nomi raised her dark brown eyes to meet the older Jedi’s blue ones. She straightened up to sit in a more respectful pose, hands calm in her lap though never too far from her lightsabers. “Then, we should have tried better and maybe another Jedi—” The Padawan girl dropped her stare enough to glance a...

Adrian: Adrian intently listened to her taking in her thought and emotions on the matter. They hadn’t been together long, but they had been together long enough to know each other quite well. He nodded at a few of her thoughts but the most poignant was that he should be dead. He couldn’t help but f...

He seemed like his normal self again now. Or at least he wasn't faking much if he wasn’t. There had been something sharp about him all day; like the way someone reacted when they were tired and hurt from anything stupid, and mad about it, but holding it together because — Jedi. Feeling better after ...

Adrian: Adrian had spent most of the evening meditating and centering himself again. He had hated the way the it made him feel, but he recognized in the moment and absolutely remembered how addictive it was. He heard the taps on his door and smirked. He opened the door to see his Padawan standing t...

The black-haired eleven year old had not been appreciative when Arty made her stand behind him and wait next to Julian, but she still followed directions obviously. Arty’s shift in bearing and his hold on his lightsaber hilt made her her palms itch while she frowned past him at Adrian… who was not l...

Intro pulled from messages and barely edited. [/i] ~230 ABY on a minor planet. Both Jedi Knights, Adrian Lynd and Arty Orspach are on a mission together along with two Padawans: Adrian's student Nomi, and Arty's son Julian. They encounter a difficult lock that can’t be cut. “...We could try the com...

Good. The change in mood was what she’d been hoping for. The woman caught the thrown lightsaber hilt and dropped her arm to her side without glancing at it. She rolled her wrist and dropped the hilt into a comfortably solid grasp nearer to the emitter than the pommel. Nomi kept her eyes on Jaxon wit...

Nomi rolled her neck, thinking back to the day on the cliff when she’d pushed at Julian until he put the blasted hilt in his hand and fought with her again. There were enough reasons that time had been different. They’d known each other longer. They’d always trained. They were healthy. There’d been ...
