“The translating matrix does sound like a very probable idea. It seems to make sense to me when I think about it. I really can’t thing of something else that would explain it. Well, I guess that really doesn’t matter in the end, you have the gift and that’s the awesome thing. You’re going to be very useful aren’t you..?” Master Natayla replied, giggling softly at the end. Of course he was going to be extremely useful, he was a Master Jedi after all. That was a little joke, not a funny one but it was still a joke. “Can you teach others a language or does it just come to you naturally?” She questioned, hoping he wasn’t getting rather annoyed with the seemingly endless questions.

“I ate breakfast today but that was about it as I rushed over here as soon as possible.” The Jedi master replied as he brushed off some sand from her robes. She smiled over him as they walked, it was rather nice to have someone to talk to as she had been alone for quite some time. Besides the little chats that she had with Yoda, or some of the soldiers she had met along the way. However, she had never connected with someone like this.

“Really? I find you to be a rather enjoyable person! I love talking with you, and I’m very strange myself so I guess I don’t see it in others. I’m very eager to learn things, and you seem to provide answers for my questions so of course I enjoy your company. I mean, I’m sure I would still enjoy speaking with you even if I knew all of this already.” Natayla replied, looking at him with a shocked expression on her face. She didn’t understand why others saw him as strange or was terrified and she saw right through that.

[Master Obi-Wan]

((I accidently deleted the Silas part in my previous post. Let's pretend that was intentional lol)))

Avalon smiled at Natalya's amusement. "I hope I am useful." he said.

"It comes naturally to me, but I am sure I if I tried I might be able to teach a language like Huttese but it is unlikely. It's even less likely that I would be able to teach a creature language to anyone." Avalon considered it for a moment. "Well the only creature language I can teach someone is that of the Crait Vulptex, as it's a language that I can speak without my ability." he explained as they got closer to the cottage.

"Well, I suppose you didn't reach the first conclusion corrupt politicians arrive at when they get wind of my ability." his answer wasn't really an explanation and it seems like it's something he doesn't want to go into right now. "I don't believe you to be strange. Curiosity and desire to seek knowledge is not strange, it's an important skill in life. Without it, how is anyone gonna evolve and progress in life. We will all end up like coral. And they are very boring, trust me." he tried to brighten the mood as they arrived at the door.

When Avalon opened the door he was greeted by a wall of floof that Silas was holding? He was in there somewhere. "I have feline. Why? No idea."

(no worries!)

“Interesting, I figured that was the case but I wanted to ask anyways. I think that is all the questions that I have at the moment, thank you for answering them.” Master Natayla said, sweetly smiling over at him as she spoke. “I must admit this is the only language that I speak, well besides Wookie. That I can speak as I spent much time with them for a long period of time.” She said after thinking about it for a moment. It was a rather long period of her life that she had spent in Kashyyyk, helping them solve the civil war that had begun to brew inside of their planet. Thankfully with Yoda’s help as a translator for a bit until she learned the language she kept it at bay until all of their problems were solved, and by then she had learned their language fully. She missed them dearly as those were one of the best years of her life, and truly hoped to be seeing them soon. If things went wrong and they probably would, she would come to them to seek refuge there for a while as they would welcome her with open arms.

“Considering I disagree and dislike most politicians, as they are mostly corrupt, no I did not. I do not go through their thinking pattern of everything being a threat or weird. I see everyone’s gifts as equally, and wonderfully made things that does fit them well enough. I sense the pure nature of your heart just like most creatures do for the most part so I do think it fits you well. Of course I guess most if not all creatures are pure, just when they see us as a threat they lash out. Which I do presume is a very deserved reaction from what they have been put through at certain times by man and other creatures alike. But sadly it seems that mostly man or species very similar hurt them more than they need to be. Way more than they need to be.” She said, frowning as she thought of all of the torturous things that them have been put through.

“I appreciate you not seeing me as strange, most do because I ask too many questions. They might think of me as more of a pester than strange, but I’ve been told both.” She said, smiling over at him. She was truly thankful for his great acceptance of her and other creatures as it was a truly beautiful thing to watch. “Their words don’t affect me at all, I’ve come to accept my differences and blossom in it!” She chirped as she walked into the house. “Oh dear what have we walked into.” She said, giggling softly at the sight of the huge cat. However she would leave that to Master Avalon, who she would soon nickname him the animal whisperer. She instead turned to help the Queen plate the food and set up the dinner table. “I see you have had some excitement while we were gone,” she said lightheartedly.

Vila was just finishing up the side dishes for their meal when the two Jedi walked in. “Very glad to see the two of you back just in time for dinner!” She hummed as she turned off all of the gas and quenched the flames so that her meal wouldn’t burn. “Yes yes quite the rather interesting development of finding a cat down here. He made quite the mess too.” She said as she began to dish out food onto the plate.

[Master Obi-Wan]

Avalon listened to what Natalya told him intently, before his concentration was broken by the sudden appearance of a cat. "Put them down, Silas. They like to be elevated but not held." Avalon politely asked Silas, even before he spoke to the creature, he could tell it didn't like the hold.

Silas carefully placed the animal on the floor, and Avalon crouched down to be on their level. "Hello, I am Avalon. Many beings also know me by a different name. Who are you and what brings you here?" Avalon spoke in another language to the feline, one that he knew the feline would know but everyone else in the room clearly wouldn't.

Silas backed away from the two, giving his Master and the cat some privacy, even though no one could understand the two anyway. He decided to attend to the meals instead.

[cronchbottle]

“I absolutely adore cats and they’re a beauty as well. I love their king fur, they look so soft...” Master Natayla hummed as she began putting food onto plates. She definitely had a large soft spot for cats, she didn’t know why but they were in fact quite adorable. She helped carry the plates onto the back patio so they could look at the stars while eating. She took a seat and waited for the rest to come in as well, hopefully Avalon wouldn’t take too long as it was only manners to wait for everyone to be seated.

The Queen smiled over at the Jedi Master before giving Silas some things to do. After thanking him for his help she went back to speaking with Natayla. “You seem to adore cats don’t you..?” She mused even though she knew the answer. She smiled as she helped bring two plates out while Natayla brought the other two. She had set up the table on the back patio so they could eat and get some fresh air as it was rather lovely outside.

[Master Obi-Wan]

Avalon and the feline seemed to be engaged in quite the conversation from what Silas could see as he settled himself on the patio. About three minutes later, Avalon exited the cottage to go to the patio to join the others, the feline followed close behind. Avalon settled himself between Silas and Master Natalya. Silas handed him a plate with food, that he knew his master wouldn't mind.

"Thank you." Avalon settled himself, and the feline settled itself next to him on the ground, between Avalon and Natalya.

"What did you two talk about?" Silas inquired his Master.

"I will tell you later. It's not a conversation to be had at the table."

"Very well." Silas replied.

Avalon wanted to say something but decided better of it. While sitting outside, his eyes would occasionally drift around the place, as he picked up all sorts of random conversation, but he tried to stay in the present.

[cronchbottle]

Natayla listened closely, wanting to know what was going on. Not a conversation to be had at the table? What was that all about. This sparked a bit of alarm inside her heart, but she would ignore it for now. Certainly if it was something large then he would have told them immediately. She looked down at the cat and offered it a peace of food that they would like. “Do you know their name?” She questioned the Jedi Master, hoping that was something she could learn. She smiled over at the queen as she tasted the food, it was absolutely delicious. “My queen you see an excellent cook,” she complimented.

“Well, be sure to let us know because I am rather curious to what they told you.” Queen Vila said calmly as she looked over at the cat and then at Master Avalon. She then began to eat her own food quietly. She had made herself some small sandwiches with a salad on the side. “Thank you Master Natayla,” she told the other smiling over at her sweetly.

[Master Obi-Wan]

The cat sniffed at the food being offered, and accepted it cautiously. The cat seemed to really enjoy it. Avalon and Silas both ate their meal and Silas complimented the Queen on her cooking, he quite enjoyed his meal. Avalon did the same and he sounded sincere but it was clear that he just ate it because he had to eat to keep himself alive, and didn't seem to gain any enjoyment out of it.

"Their name is Haru. They are here from Alderaan." informed Avalon as he was halfway through his meal.

"Alderaan?" Silas sounded concerned. Avalon just nodded in his direction in confirmation, before facing his attention towards the Queen.

"I thought you didn't believe them to be as intelligent as you and I, your majesty." He called back to their earlier conversation. "What changed?" Avalon asked, with some suspicion in his voice. He has been slightly distant from the three of them as soon as he passed the door into the cottage, after his trip to the beach.

"A person doesn't suddenly change their opinion on a matter they argued not an hour ago, and when I and Master Natalya returned from the beach, you your majesty weren't surprised that I could talk to Haru but you rather expected it. Even though I never mentioned my ability to you personally." Avalon inquired, his food abandoned, which Haru noticed and tried to steal from his plate.


((The cat's name is a reference to a different cat like character, and if you know who then I will love you forever.)))

[cronchbottle]

((pft i totally forgot that she didn’t know. rjdjjd lemme make something up rq. oopsie. maybe she has some sort of power like visions? or just a sliver of the force to see things? again i’m very dumb. also yes i think i do know the reference!))

“I just felt like you would know how to talk to them. I guess that I could just feel that you could? I tend to believe that your feelings are right. I guess I just want to believe what you do as I see you as smarter than me. I am still only a child you know. I don’t want to cause any fights with you okay, so please don’t make me feel worse than I already am.” Vila whimpered pushing her plate to the side as she looked over at him. She felt her hands shake as she spoke as situations like this gave her very anxious feelings and she disliked confrontation. She was wrong and she knew that now after reflecting on it for a while. “I usually meditate a couple of times during the day and I seem to get enlightenment from it.. And I reflected on our conversation from earlier as it was very heavy on my heart... I received some enlightenment and I changed my views. It also showed me your reason for the passion to teach me as well...” She added after thinking about it for a moment. She had visions like that a couple of times, but never told anyone about it as she wasn’t sure why they happened. It was a gift to her, but to some it might be more of a curse as the people around her were weird about that. “I am still learning things about the world okay. I’m still growing up, and I have had most of my experience inside the castle walls. I have only been trained to be perfect and think what they’ve told me to so that I would be a great ruler...” She said as she wrung her hands together. She had lost her appetite so she pushed her plate to the side.

“Hi Haru,” Natayla told the cat, smiling down at them with a soft smile on her face. She jumped as she heard the words come out of the other Jedi’s mouth. She knew he was very passionate about this, but she was still a child. She wasn’t very good at dealing with feelings like this so she just looked nervously at Silas as she listened to the two speak. However when the female mentioned visions her head snapped back over to the Queen. Something was interesting about her now that she inspected her closely.

[Master Obi-Wan]

Avalon was considering her answer. The wind around them picked up for a moment and the leaves rustled in the near by trees. "I believe you. And I apologise for my words and actions." Avalon spoke, tension from earlier leaving him. The wind and the trees settled down.

Silas attempted to diffuse the situation by sending waves of calmness through the force to all those at the table, even the cat could feel it, Haru settled down on the ground and purred contently.

"Thanks." Avalon said quietly to Silas, as he calmed down and Silas smiled in response.

"Perhaps we should all go inside?" Silas offered. "I can clean up." he added.

"It's alright. I will clean up. All of you should go settle in for the evening." Avalon suggested and stood up, starting to collect empty and semi-empty plates from the table.

Haru jostled by the sudden movement from Avalon to their left, jumped up to Natalya's lap, so that they don't get kicked by accident.
