He'd flubbed just as he'd rehearsed, opting for a "Senator um, pleased to introduce eh- me..." he was still beating himself up about it, but the woman didn't seem too bothered by it. In fact, she was quite nice about it. Almost patronizingly nice. His hair stood on end as a firm hand landed on his shoulder. It was the man from before, except he'd managed to say something smug instead of harsh this time around. Mecohn slowly relaxed as the two spoke. The casual but respectful tone the two set was different but not unwelcome. He smiled and scratched his cheek as he watched the two hug.<br/><br/>His heart pounded in his chest as the Senator turned her focus to him and addressed him as 'Master Jedi'. All the tension that had melted away tightened right back into place. He bowed stiffly before standing at attention and relaying his mission objective "Padawan Ma-... Mecohn Mi'iko under Master Iyo Teleesi, here and ready to defend with my life, ma'am," he looked between the two as they gazed at him with amusement. He relaxed a bit and meekly added "I-I'm fine,". He most certainly wasn't; he was expecting his Master to have been accompanying them, but he saw her nowhere... and this other man. Was he the other Jedi to be accompanying them? He didn't seem like he was of the order and he'd never heard of this man 'Ali' before now. Was this allowed? He wanted to ask, but he couldn't seem to find the right words.<br/><br/>"Master Iyo contacted me, I assumed she would be here," he didn't know why he said it but he did anyway. He felt<span style="font-style: italic">wrong</span>about this situation, like something bad was going to happen.
