We all fall in parallel
Kashyyyk
He stood in the cool breeze and watched the sun rise over the mountains. For a long time, Taku struggled with his place among the Silvers. He recalled the first time they'd probed the future with the Padawan class. Specifically, the youth recalled how out of place he was among the others.
After the Concord revealed plans to align with the Sith Empire against a common threat, he realized that the rift wasn't simply spiritual. They were divided down the middle between those who morally objected, and those who believed in the necessity of government action.
Taku fell into the group who vehemently refused to join hands with the Sith. He considered his options and thought about how the situation might progress if he remained among them. Even once they started to backpedal when they realized their obvious blunder, the Concord had established a dangerous precedent. Those Jedi they had driven to cleave from Kashyyyk would be hard pressed to trust the government again.
On the other hand, Taku strongly felt that the Jedi were not at fault for their decisions. Forced to make a decision between their home and their conscience, many would choose the place that they lived. There was a time when he would have done the same.
In particular, the Nightbrother Jorah was one of many denizens of Kashyyyk who simply got caught in the middle. Taku met him during a fated lesson on Deneba that ended in disaster, and the younger boy had proven to be much more experienced and skilled in conflict. Taku watched him fire a bow back at their pursuers with steady aim and less fear than purpose.
Taku asked Jorah to join him for a hunt, not too deep in the Shadowlands where the true dangers lurked but the outermost fringes. There, they could practice archery and collect meat from the indigenous creatures. Jorah had been around long enough to know where to go and what to look for.
Taku had some culinary skill, though hardly professional. He wanted to learn to fire a bow like Jorah, something that might make him more useful in a combat situation. Unlike the traditional Jedi, he preferred ranged weaponry, and the bow seemed like it might provide more utility than a blaster.
