Nubica Felidae
We are well and truly forked...

Nubica couldn't sleep. Every night she spent some time trying, but in the end she decided to walk off the need for rest.
She didn't understand it. As a Jedi, she was used to sleeping anywhere, in all sorts of conditions. She had slept in cargo holds and spaceport hangars and on a pile of droid parts. She had slept four hours in the middle of a field during a driving rainstorm. When she needed sleep, she told her mind to empty and her body to unwind, and they obeyed.
But in the past, she'd never had to deal with responsibility.
She had done that which Jedi Knights were supposed to do. She had agreed to take a Padawan.
So he didn't sleep. She had been at the Jedi Temple for weeks now, preparing. She’d sought one of the Masters for advice, which had been poignant as it was confusing. “You need reflection, as important as days of action."
There had been much action lately. Mission after mission.
There seemed to be plenty she could be doing, but she did not want to cross the Master she'd asked for guidance, so she stayed. But the weeks at the Temple only made her sleeplessness worse. She walked the empty halls at night. The glow lamps were powered down to a soft blue, making it a restful time to stroll. She opened her mind and simply walked.
She bumped into a Jedi Master, also wandering. She did not want to discuss her issues with him. "I find peace from walking,” she offered by way of an explanation, when none was asked for.
“I see many things in you," the Master said. "Peace is not one of them."
She didn't answer. She didn't shrug, or turn away, or drop her eyes. She hoped the Master would read the unspoken message. I am not ready to talk about this.
“You need action?”
“I have been advised to wait and reflect. I am expecting a Padawan in the morning.”
The Master chuckled. His eyes spoke volumes. They said they understood precisely what Nubica was going through. “First Padawan eh,” he said and placed a hand on her shoulder. “You should have said. You’ll do fine.”
And with that he wandered off, leaving Nubica initially perplexed but suddenly in need of sleep.
So much so that she was awoken by her alarm for the first time in ages. She rushed to clean and get dressed and ran to the hangar to meet her Padawan, her robes flapping behind her.
