From what Reina had heard about Naboo, it was meant to be a beautiful planet. It would have been good enough for her to try and distract herself from the things going on in the Galaxy, even for a short while. It was one of the first times, in a long time that she had decided to go on a small little venture out without anyone with her. It was strange to say the least, she had already found herself missing the company of people she knew. She was becoming weaker as a person perhaps. Wanting to be around other people, instead of being able to do with things herself but...there was a part of her that was actually happy about that thought. She was warming as a person. She was becoming someone who was alive, and living. Not just someone who was surviving.

The actual trip around Naboo was surprisingly enjoyable. She hadn't expected to take in the sights, but she enjoyed them. Mostly enjoying the sight of the lakes, watching the tranquil water to pass the time. The eb and flow of the water moving back and forth. There was a part of her that wondered if she'd have ever came here for her fishing career...She doubted it. The entire planet was far too fancy for her liking. It was nice to visit, but she could never see herself making a small living here selling what she could catch from the lakes. Plus for all she knew, there was some kind of law that would make it so she couldn't fish here. Either way, it was a nice little while to get out of the Temple for a bit. Reina just spent a few more moments enjoying the lake, gently running her hand through the water, watching her reflection shift and distort with the ripples of the lake.

With that said and done however, Reina had made her way back towards the city of Theed. She was taking her time, relying on herself to move instead of getting some kind of speeder or transport. She wanted to get used to the prosthesis. Her balance had already been a bit awkward with two natural legs, and she wanted to make sure to work on her balance at all times. Of course, it meant she was walking at somewhat faster than a snail's pace, but it was training in a way. Everything in life could teach you something and so she was trying to host her own kind of lessons for herself. Of course, once she got to the main square of Theed, the woman just...blinked to herself. There was so many people, she couldn't evne figure out where to go next.

"Just need some helpful feedback. Give them a try! Cookies made by yours truly, Jedi Padawan of the Shiraya Order. And of course no charge." The Jedi Padawan said with a small smile as he sat in a chair, a table set up before him. Amongst the table in separate trays across was various cookies in each tray. Different flavors of different kinds, inspired by the Jogan fruits that were tasty treats themselves. There was several that were already familiar with Aiden due to his many weekly meetings he held to help those cope with loss. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, they had become friends, so he hoped they weren't just telling him yes for his sake to help him out.

So he thought today would be a good test to offer to the people of Naboo, offered a few cookies and to see what they thought and such. And while there was no charge with these, they would probably go quickly especially if they are good. If he still had trays that were full, then he would have his answer.

This wasn't something Aiden would be doing full time, but just enough to give something different a try. He wasn't going to stop being a Jedi for this. That wasn't happening....

But who didn't like a cookie?

Especially if it was good.

Shiraya help me, I hope they are good.

"Most things given away for free in life have a catch."

Reina muttered to herself as she heard the Padawan advertising their free cookies. Plus something about the Shiraya Order? Reina had never really heard about it but hey...Free food was free food at the end of the day. She shrugged to herself as she waited for the crowd to start dispersing somewhat so she could get closer towards grabbing one of those cookies. It seemed like there wasn't going to be many left, considering she could see plenty of people munching away at them.

As soon as she got to the table, Reina just checked out the different trays, frowning to herself. She wanted a relatively plain cookie. Nothing with any added bits or extra treats. She didn't like sweet things on the best of days but today was all for new experiences. To get out there and get out of her comfort zone. If that meant eating some sweet cookies, then that's what it meant. Maybe she could try to bring some back to the Order for the other Padawans now that she thought of it...but for now, she tasted one of the cookies herself, nibbling into the sugary treat...

"...Huh. It could be worse."

"...Huh. It could be worse."

The Jedi Padawan glanced around at those that were in the area and even those that had come up to see what he had gotten on the trail for today. He couldn't quite remember what had put him on the path to start baking cookies, as he racked his brain. Memories began to spring up of him and Solenne making Jogan treats several times and while those weren't cookies themselves. Almost a pie of sorts, if it could be described that. It was probably then that he wanted to try his hand at doing some treats for those in need.

It was a cookie he thought, who could turn it down.

"What do you think?" Aiden inquired with a smile, and he absolutely wasn't against constructive criticism from those that were trying the cookies. "Too much? Not enough?" Aiden said with a chuckled. "I'm Aiden Porte, Jedi Padawan of the Shiraya Order." The young man extended his hand towards her. "Is this your first time on Naboo?" He inquired as to just make small talk.

"It's decent. It could be worse. It could be better. I'm not...good at giving feedback."

Reina shrugged her shoulders as she finished the last of her cookie. She had finished it, so it couldn't have been that bad if she was honest to herself. Otherwise she would have tossed it to the side. For now, she folded her arms along her front, turning her attention over towards Aiden for a moment.

"Oh. Reina. Reina Daival. I'm from the New Jedi Order on Tython."

So the Shiraa Order was some kind of Jedi Order. That made sense now that Reina thought about it in more detail. Of course there would be other Jedi Orders in the Galaxy...Though Reina wasn't overly concerned with them. She wasn't with the NJO because they were the best. She was with them because that's who she was close.

"Erh...Yeah. This is my first time here. My travels never really brought me to Naboo before."

"It's decent. It could be worse. It could be better. I'm not...good at giving feedback."

"That's actually about everything I could need right there." Aiden said with a smile, regardless of whether it was harsh or good. It was necessary for him, that's how one would grow. You had to be willing to take the hits and the honest criticism. The Jedi Padawan was all about getting better and growing.

"Oh. Reina. Reina Daival. I'm from the New Jedi Order on Tython."

"That's great!" Aide said with a smile, as he had another chair if she wished to take a seat. Aiden hadn't kept up too much with the New Jedi Order lately, Roman was gone from there, Cybelle was here. And there was a few others he knew, but perhaps barely. "How are things with them these days. Hopefully everything is going well." Aiden said with a sincere smile and nod. He would have to make a point to go take a visit very soon.

"Erh...Yeah. This is my first time here. My travels never really brought me to Naboo before."

"That's a shame, this a pretty remarkable place." Aiden voiced in regards to her travels never bring her out this way. "Make sure you take a good look around, there's plenty of good people and things here to check out. What have you done since you've arrived?"

"I'm not sure how helpful it could be. You can't exactly improve from someone saying "Oh. It doesn't taste bad but it doesn't taste amazing either."

Reina shrugged her shoulders at that, frowning a little bit to herself. It wasn't constructive in her eyes but at the same time she couldn't give constructive criticism when she wasn't used to sugar. Well, it could be worse. She took a seat for now, mostly to rest her leg right now as she stretched the prosthesis out for a moment whilst at the same time massaging her flesh and blood leg. She had been walking for quite a bit at the end of the day so.

"I suppose things are going well with the Order. I don't...pay much attention. I don't feel like I fit in there so..."

If anything, Reina felt like she didn't quite fit in anywhere. Not yet at least. She was trying to change that at the very least. To become a better person. A stronger person. But it was a task that was more monumental than she had expected. It was a good thing that she was stubborn enough to keep moving forward.

"I haven't done much since I arrived really...Walked around for a bit. Taken a look at some of the ponds and fountains. Nearly went to go take a swim before deciding it would be best if I stayed dry."

"I'm not sure how helpful it could be. You can't exactly improve from someone saying "Oh. It doesn't taste bad but it doesn't taste amazing either."

"You'd be surprised by how much any sort of feedback is. Not matter how small or unimportant it may seem." Aiden chuckled lightly, it was always good to see a jedi from a fellow enclave, especially one of the New Jedi Order. That was where Aiden had started off formally anyway. Samara had trained him in the medical field and then Solenne had taken over his training and he learned quite a bit from her. He was still learning from her, and now that he was here on Naboo, he was learning and even greater deal.

"I suppose things are going well with the Order. I don't...pay much attention. I don't feel like I fit in there so..."

"Why do you say that?" Aiden inquired, his helpful nature going to work automatically. It was perhaps an annoyance to some, but he didn't care. He would seek to help and give out advice, aide, a friendly hand and whatever else was needed to see someone succeed.

"I haven't done much since I arrived really...Walked around for a bit. Taken a look at some of the ponds and fountains. Nearly went to go take a swim before deciding it would be best if I stayed dry."

"You should definitely try out the water, when my family first settled here I spent many a days out there in that water. In the fields, next to the small lake and small waterfalls. I've only been a few times now, but the locals that venture out that way still says it a true image of beauty."

Aiden offered her a chair if she wanted to sit.

"Are you thirsty?"
