"This is unacceptable!" the woman shouted to an unreceptive council. Several contained, judicious looks were cast upon the Jedi Sentinel and her outburst.<br/><br/>"He's at a very critical point in his training! His understandings of balance could be swayed into... vigilantism! He has the potential to be a powerful sentinel and I can't afford to let his progress be-"<br/><br/>"Is this a shared value?" Master Eeth Koth quickly interjected from his place about the circle. The Jedi opened and closed her mouth several times as she tried to form words. Eeth Koth stood from his place with no urgency. His voice was calm but reprimanding as he scrutinized the Jedi before him with a cold glare "Your personal investment is notable and the progress your padawan has made is quite exceptional, but your attachment is... troubling. We understand your concerns but I forsee... corruption if your apprentice continues on this path. This is no longer in your hands, Iyo"<br/><br/>Yoda slowly shook his head as he looked between the two "Caution, we must have. Consume him, a great darkness may. A simple trial, this is." he said with a nonchalant manner. Iyo's face held a mixture of conflicted emotions and her hands were held stock still at her sides. Plo Koon placed his hand on his chin as he watched the situation unfold.<br/><br/>"This may prove to be a trying task, but for whom is the more important question," Plo Koon spoke with no ferocity or edge. To the contrary, his words were almost introspective; as if he were thinking aloud, but Iyo knew what the council was thinking. She took a deep breath and calmed her mind.<br/><br/>"I'm guessing I don't really have a choice here," she remarked with a sour resigned tone. "Fine" she sighed "He'll be at the senate building shortly"<br/>_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Mecohn shuffled into the transport, his head buzzing with his master's words and the concern he could see in her through the holocom. He'd never been to the senate building or much of anywhere save for the temple and a few trips into the lower levels with his master. He stood stark straight and held onto the railing of the maglev transport. He was wedged between two rather large Ithorians on either side, chattering about something. As the two became more excited, Mecohn began to regret his position choice. One of the two kept reaching past him to whack the other as they laughed about something. The position on of the creature's mouths flecked spit onto the fur of his cheek. That was the final straw. There wasn't much space to move but he quickly spotted a small open area near a human a bit taller than himself. With a quick pardon, he squirmed out of his space and slipped into the spot, only after nearly bulldozing through a group of Ugnaught scholars.<br/><br/>He met their displeased grunts with a rushed apology before smiling awkwardly toward the man in front of him, shuffling to the side and taking the unoccupied space next to him "I-is it always packed like this?" he wasn't really one for needless chatter, but he was nervous and something about this guy was familiar enough.
