It would certainly be an adventure to see Feena Mason again, the Jedi Master thought to himself as he made his way through Naboo's busy streets with his old Master. She was an adventurous Queen, and Matsu was mischievous herself, as innocent as the old Master tried to make herself out to be. Looking back... The whole thing was strange. Here he was, on his home planet, walking with his old Jedi Master, now the same rank himself, and likely having to keep his Master out of trouble when, when he was younger, she was the one to try and keep him out of trouble. So much had changed, and so many tides had turned... But this entire thing was bizarre.
But things just continued to become a whirlwind of oddidies when the sight of a young woman caught his eye. He could almost swear that he recognized her from somewhere.. But it wasn't until Matsu had said "Senator Chuchi" that his eyes lit up. Chuci. That was a name that he hadn't heard in an incredibly long time. The Jedi's gaze followed that of his former Master as Chi would make her way toward them, with his following alongside Matsu doubling the pace as she was likely heading toward the Representative herself. Finally, his eyes met with hers, and a warm smile, almost instinctively, followed. As if part of him just needed to smile.
"Representative Chuchi, actually, Matsu" Joshua would correct politely. Oh, how many times had he called her Senator Chuchi himself? Every single time they had met in the past, he had called her that, forgetting over and over again as a naive, memory-less Padawan, that she was a damned Representative, not a Senator, and calling her as such over and over while she continuously corrected him at every turn.
His thoughts turned back in time, to a time where things were a lot more simple for the Jedi. Sure, he couldn't remember a damn thing about who he was, besides that he was a Jedi Padawan, but things were more black and white back then. Back then, he wasn't worrying about where his next meal would come from, or where he was to go without an Order to guide him. Back then, he was a spunky, happy, clueless Padawan, a little too excited about his upcoming Jedi Trials in two months. He remembered the jitters, the nerves, and everything that came up with the build to that. He wanted to make the best impression before he went in, and that meant taking any jobs, no matter how stupid, the Order gave him. One of the simple, stupid in his eyes "fetch quests" he was tasked to involved delivering a report to the Senate, involving the planet Chuchi was representing. Rendili, or something like that? He couldn't remember all that well. But what had followed was... Well, a lot more exciting then originally planned obviously. Plans to just deliver the report to some old clerk or representative of whatever and return to his training for the Trials that had consumed his mind oh so much.
He'd ended up meeting Chi there, and instead of going home, ended up stalling with some casual flirting, which he had a habit of doing. Something he, unfortunately, still did today. The more things change, it seems, the more things stayed the same. Luckily, that stalling led to him being there during the attempt on Chi's life, and thanks to a momentary kick in his amnesiac memory, he'd been able to take out the assassin that would have otherwise outclassed, and killed the Jedi Padawan. That day had led him down the road to regaining his memories, soon after his Jedi Trials. He'd rebuilt the droid that Chi had suggested he try doing so while he was waiting for his ceremony after he had passed, due to some obvious lingering nerves, and the result had triggered his memory in some fashion. He wondered if he had ever thanked Chi for that... Perhaps not. But now, it wouldn't matter most likely. It wouldn't be something she would have cared about now, no need to bring it up.
He tried not to chuckle when he recalled something else. Ah, yes. The main reason Chuchi had managed to stick out in his mind. He recalled having a bit of a crush on the Representative. Though he'd never told that to her face, of course. Nor to Matsu, or that mischievous old lady, with a memory like an elephant, would be making this sudden reunion a lot more awkward then it needed to be.
He hadn't seen Chi since the last mission they'd been on. How long had that been now? Nearly two years? Perhaps more for Chi, if she'd been involved in the interdimensional incident, that had taken place during his self-driven exile, causing him to miss all of the fun. But he supposed it was for the best... It kept him young and good looking after all!
"A pleasure to see you again, Miss Chuchi" The Jedi Master would greet her with warmly, once they came to a stop in front of her. He still had that same confident smile that he'd shone her way many times so long ago.
