>>To the Galaxy and Back<< A 1x1.

[Captain Plucky]

Claudia crossed her arms, taking a deep breath in. It was very logical that everyone couldn't be taken care of all at once, and that sometimes old friends had to be left behind for the better. And yet, it was such a hard concept to swallow. If Core, Johanna, or Obi-Wan were badly hurt, and they told me to leave them, I...I don't know what I would do. She found herself wondering that, in a stressful situation, what would triumph? Her orders, or her loyalty to her friends? Letting go of someone seemed like such a painful thing to do. Claudia only had a handful of people that she knew, let alone deeply care about. What would she be without friends? If she let them die, what kind of a protecter would that make her? "I can't seem to really understand that, Master, but I thank you for your reply and will think about this subject further." Claudia thanked grimly, a frown on her face. "If I may, I would like to ask you something else." She paused, looking at Obi-Wan. "Master, how does a Jedi be compassionate for others, and yet not form attachments?" Claudia asked.

[Master Obi-Wan]

For a Jedi Master, Obi Wan was stumped by that question. He has never managed to let go of attachment yet he had to teach it to Anakin so many times but Obi Wan knew Anakin never really followed his lectures of how to be a proper Jedi and Obi Wan can relate to that, Qui Gon Jinn himself wasn't a very strict Master so Obi Wan could relate to Anakin's need for attachment. "I do not have a clear answer to that Padawan." Obi Wan said honestly. "I suppose attachment could exist as long as that attachment is not used for evil nor is it the cause of saving one individual over hundreds. At least that is what I taught Knight Skywalker, he isn't really the traditional Jedi type. But if you want a clearer answer Padawan, then I suggest asking Grandmaster Yoda." Obi Wan mentally noted how ironic it was that if someone needed a clearer answer they need to go to Grandmaster Yoda, whose answers aren't naturally clear.

(Ooooo, I see you've snuck in another character on the first page! >:3)

"Yes, that seems like a good idea, Master." Claudia agreed, "Grandmaster Yoda is always so soothing to listen to, and I haven't spoke to him in a while. If I talked to him, I think it would clear up a lot more than just one question I've been thinking about." When Claudia hinted at other questions, she was speaking about Vokem and, well, her future as a Jedi. She was fifteen now, and looking at Anakin Skywalker's example, that would give four years to train for her Knight trials; and begin to think about what type of Jedi she wanted to be. While four years was a good amount of time, the years passed by so quickly if you didn't know about your future career, and so slowly if you had it all figured out. "I always appreciate it when you talk to me, Master." Claudia said sincerely, "It really helps me figure things out."

[Master Obi-Wan]

(((I have indeed >:3 I was thinking of adding Kent Acero, but decided to keep him hidden for longer.)))

Obi Wan smiled a little. "I am glad it does, Padawan." stated Obi Wan. "When I was your age, seems like a century ago, force I am old. As I was saying, when I was your age I didn't really have anyone who would talk to me like this and help me figure out things." Obi Wan didn't notice how casually he implied the amount of questions and secrets he has. He ran a hand through his hair and turned his eyes towards the window, they were probably only around ten minutes away from the intergalactic hangar. As Obi Wan's mind slowly began to drift into thoughts, he was pulled back to reality by his datapad's beep. He got his datapad, looking if it was a message from the council but when he looked at the details of the messenger it stated 'C.K', Obi Wan knew that he couldn't open that message here, infront of Claudia so he just put his datappad back.

[Captain Plucky]

(Ah, I see. You've probably noticed Vokem's form, then. >;D)

"Yes, I'm very thankful that I have you and other wise Masters to help me. Truthfully, I don't know how I would fare without your guidance." Claudia didn't notice at the time that Obi-Wan was subtly hinting about his past. When her Master's datapad went off, she didn't look over to see what it said. Claudia respected other peoples privacy, and wasn't interested in what it said in the first place. As the quietness set it, with the hum of the elevator quietly whirring in the background, she allowed herself to concentrate on other things. Her grey eyes glazed over as she began to ponder about Vokem, and how much mystery was still around him. Perhaps I will be able to recall a short memory here, to help quench my curiosity. Claudia wasn't able to control how long her memories were, so it was always a bet when she wanted to try and recall her past. But, it was a risk she was willing to take. Perhaps if she did it on her own accord, it wouldn't happen randomly, like it had when Claudia was talking to Core. The Padawan closed her eyes, keeping her mind on the topic of her father.

[Master Obi-Wan]

((I have indeed. Also, what elevator?)))

His datapad was now securely in his bag once again. I need remember to read that on our flight back. Obi Wan thought as the hovercraft stopped by the entrance to the intergalactic hangar. Obi Wan glances out the window before opening the door and turning to the driver as soon as he got out. Obi Wan handed the clone trooper driver several credits for getting the two of them to the hangar. It was quite strange giving a clone trooper credits but then again they were on Riosa where everyone needed credits to get by, even if they were part of the Grand Army of the Republic. "Thank you, General." said the Clone troopers and as Obi Wan was about to turn around the clone trooper added. "General, are you familiar with Waxer and Boil?" asked the Clone. "Yes I am. Why?" asked Obi Wan, not having much idea where this is going. "A girl from Ryloth was visiting here recently and she recognized my CT number. She asked for these to be given to Boil and Waxer, General." spoke the clone. Obi Wan took the two papers from the clone, they were both letters with small illustrations on them, clearly drawn by a child. I remember her. "Thank you. I will make sure this gets to them." Obi Wan said with a smile and the Clone smiled under the helmet. "Thank you sir." After that he drove away, leaving Obi Wan and Claudia by the entrance.

[Captain Plucky]

(Oh, I thought Claudia and Obi-Wan were on a elevator.
Sorry, I must have gotten confused about what they were doing. c:)

As Claudia tried to focus on her memories, the hovercraft stopped. She opened her eyes, biting the inside of her mouth. It seemed like she had been too late to try and think about Vokem, so she would have to try again later. As Obi-Wan talked to the Clone, she put on a kind expression, appreciating the clones for what they do and fight for. They really helped out in the war. You know, since I don't get out much, I had almost gotten accustomed to the idea that there was a war. Being in my training room and the Jedi temple all of the time, I didn't really realize how bad it was. But now, seeing how it's effected the environment and the people...I'm beginning to recall why we need to stop it as soon as possible. I don't know how much these poor citizens can take the conditions they're in. She thought. As her Master and the clone finished off the conversation, Claudia politely nodded to the soldier in a goodbye.

[Master Obi-Wan]

Obi Wan turned around, with the two letters in his hand. He folded them and put them in his pocket. "Time for us to leave." and with that he entered the Intergalactic Hangar, which was buzzing with citizens and tourists of all races. Obi Wan knew their ship was supposed to be on the second floor but since they are leaving earlier, they will have to take the Attack Cruiser which is on its home voyage back to Coruscant. "We will be taking a different star ship from the one we arrived here, Padawan." He said as he looked around for where they need to be heading. The Republic Attack Cruisers are quite huge and four of them could fill a massive hangar instantly, so logically it should be easy to find.

[Captain Plucky]

Claudia quietly clapped in excitement as Obi-Wan explained that they would be on a different ship. She wanted to know everything about every one of those planes, so that way she would be a fantastic pilot. As the people around her ran about to do their different things, she saw people of all races and sounds of almost every dialect. It was a little overwhelming, yet highly interesting to have so much diversity in one room. She walked behind her Master, not wanting to lose him in the crowd and create complications. She's had her fair share of that for the time being.

[Master Obi-Wan]

Their gate to the star ship was just up ahead. Apparently it was waiting outside for everyone to get inside it, instead of being inside. Obi Wan assumed it was due to its big size. If the Republic Attack Cruiser were to be in the Interegalactic Hangar it wouldn't leave much space for other ships to come and go. By the gate stood two ladies, one was a Twi'lek and the other was a Togruta. The two of them were dressed in formal Republic attire with several pieces of armor on their shoulders, chest and arms to protect them from any direct harm. Obi Wan walked over to the two and displayed the permission to go on the Republic Attack Cruiser, which was provided by the Jedi council. After the Twi'lek read the information it nodded towards the Togruta who opened the doors to the outside. Obi Wan and Claudia walked out with the Republic Attack Cruiser infront of them.
