The Chiss Heiress
Setting Music
CORUSCANT
The city bustle faded in from the relative quiet of the walkway Kusana exited from. The insulation from the sounds of so much life had afforded her the opportunity to think on a few things, which was abruptly cut off when she realized the datapad she had had on her person earlier in the walk was nowhere to be found. Now out of the walkway, she leaned back against the wall of a nearby building and breathed an exasperated sigh, filling the air with a tangible woe. "What's one more lost opportunity, I suppose...". She closed her eyes and laid her head against the wall behind her as well, thinking for a moment.
When she opened her eyes, whatever regret and shame she may have felt toward the missing datapad was washed away by the calm orange of the setting sun. Something about the thought of a likeness as powerful and blindingly radiant as a star being tamed by the slow spin of a tiny planet into something you could look at with the naked eye...it was calming to her. Another sigh, though this was not one of exasperation. This sigh carried with it all of her swirling emotions as it left her, and the hanging tension in the air dissipated.
A few passersby stopped to marvel at the sight as well, however the majority of those on these streets had seen it a thousand times already. "Doesn't make it any less pretty," she said to herself. Content to sit here a while and watch the planet turn its face from the giver of life, she placed herself on the front-facing step of a nearby building and watched. For a moment she remembered the words of the one who had shown her the Force, so long ago.
"Breathe."
Kusana took a deep breath, as if reliving or perhaps taking the advice of the memory.
"All life does it, you know. Breathes, in some way or another. Deep breaths are a big part of what distinguishes a calm mind from a scattered one. Though that's only one half of the equation, the other is..." The voice trailed off as she began to meditate, the sun warming her face.
