Faction The Temple Sleeps, But We Do Not [Tython]

[Braze]

TAGS: Kaelos Vryn

The halls of the Tython temple were quiet at this hour. The kind of stillness that made every footstep echo in the vaulted halls.

Braze moved through it like a shadow dressed in gold and white, his temple guard robes sweeping the floor in his wake, measured strides. He didn't need to be in full gear tonight. That was sort of the point.

He stood at the threshold of his Padawan's quarters, gloved hand lifting to knock,once, twice, sharp and sure.

No answer.

He knocked again. Louder this time.... Then he let the silence drag long enough to be annoying.

When the door finally cracked open, Braze tilted his masked head faintly to the side. He didn't speak at first. Just let the full image of him sink in...hood drawn, mask in place, the ceremonial staff clipped to his back. The soft lamplight from the corridor made the gold in his outfit gleam faintly.

"Night patrol; I want you to accompany me padawan. "

he said at last, voice clipped, matter-of-fact. "Gear up. Ten minutes."

He paused, as if debating whether to say more. Then:

"I'll be waiting at the western causeway. If you're late, I'll assume you've been abducted and avenge you accordingly."

And with that, he turned on his heel and walked off...

It was late.

The young Jedi had been minding his own business, had been keeping himself to himself. The Jedi move to Tython had been a big change and had taken some adjustment for the young Kiffar, a boy who'd been so used to the hustle and bustle of Courscant considering he'd spent more time there than Kiffu.

He'd been in his quarters, deep in meditation when the door had rapped with a knock he recognised instantly. Kaelos didn't answer at first, smiling softly to himself as he kept Braze waiting. Eventually, his Master's masked head poked in and Kaelos cracked him a smile.

Kaelos let Braze speak as he pushed himself to his feet, continuing to smile. "I want to know what's involved with you avenging me" he offered with a laugh, using the Force to pull his custom built lightsaber into his grasp. He clipped it to his belt as Braze slipped out of the room.

"Probably some form of edgy revenge tour" the young Kiffar commented to himself, with a laugh. He took a few moments to organise his quarters before he set off to meet his mentor at the meeting point. It wasn't one he'd been given a choice in, but that was usual. He almost liked just following Braze blindly.

His walk through the corridors of the rebuilt Tython temple was spent with his mind on Vera Noble . It had only been a few days since they'd become an official couple in the jungles on Devaron and he was still very much riding on cloud ten. He was surprised Braze hadn't noticed his unusually cheery persona and his constant smile that had been plastered on his face.

Dinner with the Nobles was coming up. He was slightly scared by that concept, hoping to make a good impression to the family of his girlfriend whilst also not making a complete fool of himself to Vera. It was going to be a delicate balacing act, that was for sure.

After just a few moments, he saw Braze off in the distance. He approached the young Jedi Knight, offering a slight bow. "I think that was nine minutes or so" he said with a chuckle. "No need to go avenging me, I've not yet been kidnapped" he added with a smirk.

"Unless you're about to kidnap me...?"

Braze seemed to have offered a single reply in response as he had departed. "Justice. "

"Noted... It's not kidnapping if you actively and willfully choose to come with me. You are not under any form of duress. " Braze acknowledged simply as he began his first tour of duty.

He seemed to be rather focused on his task at hand as he scanned every space he walked through looking for anything out of the ordinary with an odd sort of tense seriousness to it all.

"In regards to... your… extracurricular alliances... " He started but didn't mention Vera Noble by name.

"I'll say this once, so I don't have to keep repeating myself like a broken holorecording."

He paused, then added more quietly, "Just… be careful. Personal attachment often compromises clarity of duty. Doesn't always start that way, but it ends there more often than not."
