"I am a question to the world, Not an answer to be heard, Or a moment that's held in your arms..."

Shem stood in the gardens of the New Jedi Order's temple, plucking at the string of his energy bow as he sang a tune he had heard once in passing. As he did so, a realization came to him, an audience of younglings that were now gathered around him. A Togruta boy on the left, a Rodian boy in the middle, and a Nautolan girl on the right, all looking up at him with bright eyes.

"Oh, hey there," Shem greeted. "I didn't notice you all... I didn't think anyone else would be here."

"We wouldn't," the Rodian boy sighed.

"Detention?" the Rishii guessed, to which he was met with a series of nods. "Rough. Well, sorry to bother that I guess."

"That's okay," the girl shrugged. "You're good at singing, mister. Do you do it a lot?"

The fledgling smiled at the complement, his feathered cheeks lifting ever so slightly.

"Not usually," he explained. "I'm waiting for someone. I dreamed that I might meet someone if I wait here, so here I am."

The younglings reacted with bewilderment, but it wasn't long before a Jedi Master came in to retrieve them from their detention. They bid a quick farewell before leaving Shem alone once more to ponder the reason he had come to this place. Uncle Spinner had told him what he was only very recently. A seer, he called him, someone who was able to receive visions of the future through the force. The idea was thrilling, filling Shem with excitement down to his very core. To see events before they transpired, possibilities seemed endless. Unfortunately it seemed there was no real way to control what he saw, leaving the nature of his dreams shrouded in mystery. So when one dream came of him meeting a red Twi'lek woman in the gardens of the Temple, the Rishii decided to allow fate to take it's course. He only plucked the plasma drawstring of his bow a few more times before he heard approaching footsteps.

It was his vision.

"Hey!" Shem called out, a smile in his beak. "I've been waiting all day for ya!"

Now he could finally get to the bottom of all of this.

Shem Spinner
Ryana was lost she was looking for her quarters after a force training exercise with her master pryce. And she somehow ended up in the gardens she stood there scratching her head for a second as she heard a voice pipe up behind her not hearing his singing before. As she didn't want to be caught getting lost her first week here she turned around seeing the young rishii boy standing there with an energy bow the same size as him.

She stood there for a few seconds as what he said registered in her mind as she slid the data pad into her bag beside her training saber. "Hello um why have you been waiting for me" she said as she began to get slightly nervous "your not here to take me back are you" she asked nervously not wanting to back to Nar shada

"your not here to take me back are you"

"Huh?" Shem frowned, cocking his head in confusion.

Who did she think he was? As mature as he tried to present himself, Shem still very much looked like a kid. The Twi'lek woman was older than him too. What did she have to be nervous about?

"I don't know where I'd take you back to," he noted. "I don't know where you're from."

Now this was just even more confusing. He had hoped that the reason for his vision would become clear upon first meeting the woman, but all it seemed to do was bring in more questions to think about. The boy sighed, scratching his head as he tried to formulate how to explain his being here and anticipating her arrival.

"I'm a Seer," the fledgling explained. "I saw us meeting in a dream here, so I figured I'd wait here to let it happen. I probably should've started with that. Sorry..."

Oh, right. His name.

"Oh yeah, I'm Shem," he introduced. "Nice to meet you, Miss...."

Shem Spinner

Ryana was still trying to get used to the fact that the temple was a safe place for her to be a place where she didn't need to worry about hunters from nar shadda coming to collect her and drag her back by force back there and put her shock collar back on. "I'm sorry too I was saved from slavery by force when master Gabriel Pryce stopped a feel of sith and Jedi artifacts and he brought me back here freeing me" she said standing there.

She had confused the young man "I was just flustered I'm sorry to have confused you for something your clearly not" she said honestly. As he explained that he was a seer and that he foresaw this meeting in a dream she still didn't fully get how all this force stuff worked. But she understood it allowed people to do extra ordinary things from what she overheard from her former hutt master and her short time here.

"Your fine it's my bad" she said she could feel her nerves relaxing a bit she knew she was safe in the temple plus Gabriel allowed her to build her first lightsaber out of some of the parts that he brought back to the temple plus around the hutts neck. As he introduced himself "my name is ryana it is nice to meet you shem" she said.

"Oh," Shem remarked, frowning at the mention of slavery.

He knew of it, of course. His father had told him about how their family was ravaged by slavers who had come to Rishii. Uncle Spinner had been the only one to survive, freeing himself from the gladiatorial bonds he had been forced into. Hate was a strong emotion, one which Shem rarely experienced, but hearing how it had separated his father and great uncle certainly was enough to make the fledgling hate slavery.

But this was a safe place, right? The woman would be okay here.

"Your fine it's my bad"

"It's okay," he insisted, his tone remaining positive. "You didn't mean anything by it."

Well, this was an encounter. That, unfortunately, didn't really get to the meat of why it was he had foreseen such a thing. Shem had assumed that something of great significance was to occur, but this seemed to just be an ordinary meeting.

"Strange," Shem muttered. "My dream didn't go passed this part... I though something else might happen. Ah, whatever. I'll figure it out later." He turned back to the Twi'lek with an extra bit of energy in his step. "I could give you a tour of the temple, Miss Ryana. Then maybe I can figure out why I saw us meeting."

Ryana didn't need the force to read him to know this encounter wasn't what he expecting. But she didn't know what her was expecting but she figured it was something better than what what happening at the moment and she wasn't sure what to do. As she stood there she awaited a response from him this was turning into an unusual encounter someone jumps from a tree and says they dreamed about you outside of a temple of people with magical powers that would sound very bad.

As he talked in a positive tone it relieved her of some of her stress "I guess I'm still a bit on edge new place new planet and it all happened so fast" she said honestly. As she stood there she wondered why shem put so much faith why this meeting would be something profound and awesome as they stood there "how did you figure this going if I may ask?" She asked wondering. Then he offered to give her a tour energetically how could she refuse this strange little man "ok lead on shem" she said as she would follow him.
