It was golden hour on Tython. A sunset that Rikuan had grown used to in the years since he joined the Jedi but it still never felt like home. It didn't share the same warmth or sense of nurture of the sun back on Lykora.

Perched atop a tree in the courtyard, his reddish-brown fur gently bristled in the wind. Crouching, the simian Padawan had his elbow placed on his thigh with his cheek leaning into his hand. His tail coiled and swung in anticipation. This was boring. Waiting.

Why was he waiting? Well, he'd been dropped by yet another Master. Not that it bothered him - Rikuan had trouble following rules, difficulty focusing and keeping his attention, he was restless and impulsive, and to top it all off? He had a knack for troublemaking. A poor student, a poor Jedi actually. Rikuan understood, if he was his own teacher he'd have given up on himself too.

He was often told that with his talents he'd have definitely made Knight by now. But his lack of discipline and inability to take matters seriously was what held him back.

Rikuan's new Master though, was allegedly to be the Cathar Jonyna Si. She was a Cathar and a member of the Council, and from what he'd heard, she was pretty powerful and had seen some things in her time. Rikuan smirked to himself, canines bared. If they were sending a Council member to babysit him. It must be dire. If it were even true of course, he wasn't paying attention when he was informed of who his new Master would be.

Still crouched in the tree, Rikuan shifted slightly and looked down toward the path leading into the courtyard. He had something waiting for her. Just a small thing. A harmless little prank. Something to test the waters, or, in this case, drop them.

He flicked his tail, lips curling wider. A bucket, perfectly balanced on the edge of the entry arch, just waiting for the right gust of wind… or the right unsuspecting Master. Rikuan grinned, leaning back against the branch with all the serenity of a monk.

This was going to be fun.

[Jonyna Si]

TAG: Rikuan

Jonyna had read the reports. Padawans usually didn't reach her desk, but this one...

This one seemed to almost take that prospect as a challenge.

This one seemed to check every mark that Jonyna did back in her own heyday as a rebel. Had it been the days of the Imperial age, she would've rewarded him with missions and objectives. Those days were behind her though, to an extent.

To an extent...

What the monkey boy didn't plan for what Jonyna's own trickster ways. Jonyna had tracked him through the temple grounds all day. The boy waited for her with a bucket, ready to dunk her when she came around the corner.

Then she didn't.

He waited...and waited...

And all of a sudden, a tap on the shoulder from behind.

"Who we splashing?" She asked, as if unaware of the prank's intended target.

Making the wind silent was a simple task, and she was just as much of a climber as he was, with over a decade more experience.
