Even now that time had passed, walking up the main steps of the Jedi Temple sent a bit of a chill down Katherine’s back. She had been there when the Dark Empire attacked Coruscant, defending the Temple from intrusions. But the Valkyrie had underestimated her opponent that day, which allowed the enemy to capture her.

Then came the torture, broken bones and Force Lightning. It felt like it had lasted an eternity, right up until she was finally rescued. But that had only been the beginning of a long, painful journey for Katherine.

A Padawan fell that day, but a Knight rose from its ashes.

Now it was Katherine’s mission to ensure no other Padawan made the same mistake she had. Didn’t matter if it was one of her own, or just any Padawan that stepped through the doors of a Jedi temple or enclave.

It was the reason for her visit to Coruscant, wanting to gauge the overall situation with the current lot of Padawans. Whether she’d find one to take under her literal wings, or to just help a young student in need.

What Katherine hadn’t anticipated, was literally walking right into one.

The Valkyrie was lost in her own thoughts, her gaze staring off into seemingly nothing as she walked through the Temple hallways. Despite the physical changes she had gone through, Katherine still maintained old habits. Only nowadays it was impossible to miss the towering Jedi Knight as she moved.

Unless it seemed, the other person was also lost in thought at that same moment.

“Oh! I am so sorry, I was not paying attention.” Katherine said, looking down to see a bob of red hair, a shade darker than her own.

Phoebe was back in the halls of the Jedi Temple. She'd had the opportunity to get out a couple of times before, which she was eternally grateful for. But being back in the monotonous routine of doing chores and doing training classes was mind-numbing. She desperately wanted to get back out into the galaxy and be doing something, it was why as soon as her parents had let her she'd come to the temple to become a Jedi.

Between her classes, Phoebe often had her nose buried deep in a datapad. Spending her time trying to wrap her head around what was going on out in the galaxy and find out what she might involved in once she had been selected as an apprentice by a Knight or Master. This approach usually worked out for her as the force warned her if someone was coming around the corner, but this time the force failed her and as Phoebe rounded a corner ran head-first into an over seven foot tall wall of muscle and wings and found herself knocked to the floor from the force of the collision.

"Oh kriff, sorry about that." Phoebe apologized while she picked herself off the floor. "I should have been paying more attention."​

Katherine let out a chuckle, shaking her head. “The mistake is mine, sometimes I still forget how big I am these days.” The redhead had leaned down to help the Padawan up, but it ended up being unneeded.

She really did need to remember to mind where she was going these days. It was bad enough accidentally hitting people with her wings, let alone knocking people onto their butts by just walking into them.

“I’m Katherine Holt, Jedi Knight.” She introduced herself, raising a hand for Phoebe to shake. Katherine took a moment to take in her fellow redhead’s features. She was good with faces, even if she didn’t always remember names.

There was something about Phoebe that struck that ‘familiar chord’, but Katherine couldn’t quite place it. “I’d ask if you’ve only just recently arrived, but I feel like I’ve seen your face around the Temple a few times already.”
