She found him at the height of midnight, in the crook of a willow nearly a mile from the temple and up a tree.
He raised a brow when she emerged from the shadows. "Here to finish the job?" She stopped, a frown on her face.
"No. I came to apologize. My mentor hinted that it might be...fair to ask for your side of things." Beltor tilted his head. "Smart man your master, especially for a Mando'a." It was Katiara's turn to raise a brow. Bell explained. "It's how he walks and how he carries him self." He sat up, motioning for her to join him in the moon light. She did, sitting cross legged on the dewy grass.
He went on to speak to her at length, telling her everything he had told Braze in that same spot a week earlier.
Be the end of it, he looked like he had run a marathon, and she was teary eyed her self. He hadn't just told her how he had left her mother, but had spoken to her at length about her mother, and their relationship. She still...hated? No. She couldn't hate him. If his story was true, and the guilt radiating off him told her it was likely true, then he truly didn't know.
They stayed quiet for a long, long time. "So now what?" She asked. He shrugged, a whiff of smoke curling in the night air. "You continue your training, as do I. Your already further along then I am, in a lot of respects." "I guess so." He nodded. "You are, kiddo, you're a far better Jedi then I am currently."
He leaned back on his arms. "I'm almost too old for this, kiddo. Being a Jedi, I mean. Another couple hard years and I wouldn't have it in me. It's really only because Braze is open about his padiwans that I'm able to even train at all." She tilted her head, really seeing him for the first time that wasn't tinged with anger.
"I don't know what to call you, really." He nodded. "Your mentor was more a father to you then I was. Wouldn't be fair to him or you. I'd love to know you better, teach you some of the things the orthodox jedi wont." "Is...is it alright if I call you Bells, like Master Braze does?" Beltor smiled for the first time all night. "Sure. Kiddo, Sure. I mean we're both technically Padawans, your just a bit more along the track then I am."
