"He came with us on the mission… I had an… interesting... interaction while trying to run a Temple Guard training session with the others." Braze offered the words lightly as he set to work on his share of the cooking, hands busy with the meal while his attention lingered on the conversation.

"He's taking care of Valor now, it would seem," he added. There was something fond tucked beneath the observation. "It's good to see Ko take on a student." He glanced over curiously,

"What about you? Have you thought about teaching any young ones?"

"What about you? Have you thought about teaching any young ones?"

"Golly, I don't know," Loomi answered, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "I guess I've... maybe just been thinking about if I'm even skilled enough to do that. I'm not sure when someone becomes ready to accept a student."

She was older than she had been when she was knighted, but she was still young. Maybe she wanted to have a bit more life experience before she became a teacher.

Or maybe preparing was a fool's errand.

"I'd... at least like to think I know when the moment is in front of me," she reasoned. "I feel like I can't really know for sure who I'll teach until I meet them."

Like how she met Tirin on a whim. The Force brought people together for a reason.

Braze shrugged. " You might never be ready... " He mused softly. " I don't think I was... but I know I want to make a difference in a few more lives before I die. " Braze offered softly.

"But perhaps...I might have some time to leave behind some kind of legacy..." Braze mused aloud. He sure did seem to think about his own frailty of life fairly often it would seem. Never the less he finished cooking and set the steaks aside to rest before moving to clean up some more and put things away.

"I feel selfish thinking I could just slink away and spend my time in my fancy tree house... "

"I feel selfish thinking I could just slink away and spend my time in my fancy tree house... "

"Maybe it would... feel less selfish if you shared the space with others more often?" Loomi suggested. "I know you spend far more time abroad, but... you've hardly invited back any guests. I think you'd make a very good host."

After all, homes were meant to be shared and enjoyed by lots of people. It didn't matter the size, only the company. She had enjoyed the time she spent with Knight Toth and his partner. Maybe Braze just hadn't had the right opportunity to make that space feel less selfish and more open to the people he cared about.

"Oh-" the Godoan began again, like snapping back to reality. "Um... I forgot to tell you I was there a few weeks ago. Nothing bad happened, just that I... washed some of your clothes I borrowed... Sorry, I ran out..."

She paused, thinking back to the emergency pit stop she made to rest and wash up. It wasn't that she felt any sort of taboo in regards to borrowing other's garments in a pinch. After all, she wore other people's clothes all the time back when she was a padawan that owned practically nothing. It was just that...

Thinking about what had happened made her a bit bronze in the cheeks.

"Perhaps… there's still much to do before it'll be ready…" Braze offered, knowing there were many projects yet to be completed.

He blinked curiously and looked up at that.

"Clothes~?" Braze asked, his head tilting slightly. "What kind of clothes did you borrow~? You know you can keep pretty much anything of mine you really like."

He offered the thought softly as he started to plate their meal.

"You must be starving by now."

Braze set the table for them, then fetched a pitcher of nice cold tea to go with their food. Once everything was settled, he gestured for her to join him in the booth.

"What kind of clothes did you borrow~? You know you can keep pretty much anything of mine you really like."

"Well, uh... I don't really think I can," Loomi muttered. "They, uh... they're a bit more... snug than I remember when we were younger..."

Loomi shook her head when Braze mentioned food and very quickly decided to agree and change the subject.

"Yes! Yes. Food," she agreed. "I'm really hungry."

She would make her way over to the booth and seat herself down.

"I can always make you new stuff too, if you like…" Braze said with a smirk. "Custom made and pretty. I made some fine beaded work for Eloise Dinn recently... ."

He offered it lightly, as if the hours bent over thread and tiny beads had been nothing at all.

"Took me houuuuuuurs to hand-stitch some of the bodice beading… but perhaps you might like to try a few new styles?"

Braze asked it softly as he started to sample what they had made. His expression warmed at once. "Mnn… fresh pasta is amazing… You've out done yourself Loomi Kins~ Color me impressed~"
