where we're going
Other than the strange hiccup that was Auraya getting randomly challenged to a duel, their search on Corellia had gone well. More supplies, a blaster for the girl, the phrik walking stick for him, everything they'd really needed to find had been acquired with little issue. It wasn't long before they were back on the Mudskipper, lifting into space and jumping into hyperspace on a path straight for Chrystophsis. Going straight down one of the galaxy's major hyperlanes, the trip was extremely quick; even though it was crossing half the galaxy, one could get from Coruscant to Tatooine in less than eight hours with a class one hyperdrive.
Corellia to Christophsis was an even shorter trip, only about six hours.
With the hyperdrive the Mudskipper had, meanwhile...
He felt the slight lurch as the ship exited hyperspace and realspace inertia took over again, from where he sat meditating in his quarters. He hadn't even realized the hyperdrive was so fast, but sure enough, they had arrived in the Christophsis system. Confirmed by the astromech up in the cockpit rattling off a string of information at him about their current position. Currently, the planet's moon was in between them and their destination, the capital city of Chaleydonia. At least he thought that was what it said...he was still trying to get the hang of the new dialect.
"Auraya!" he called as he left his room, directed towards the ladder leading down to the lower deck. He'd heard her practicing lightsaber sequences in the fairly wide-open lounge space below, and could nearly as easily hear her thoughts while she did it too. Nothing distinct, just very questioning. Anxious. The norm for her, as it were, though hopefully that would change; she did, at least, seem calmer than she had when they were walking around Coronet City, when he had to convince her to at least take some low-grade bacta spray for the burns she'd gotten practicing with Sarad.
Once she came up above, hearing the sound of her footsteps, he'd turn, one hand pointing at the moon that he at least believed was in front of the viewport. "You know, I once heard some very important wisdom from another Jedi some years ago, about the right time to train, and the best amount to go for. She told me it wasn't always best to try and lose yourself in what you were working on, that that could be detrimental, especially if you were trying to use it as a way to sharpen your thoughts for something else."
He grinned.
"Specifically, I believe she said that sometimes, Leesis more."
