Jek found his way back to the bunk he was given and took the book out from under the pillow. He sat there on the bed staring at it for what felt like hours. Just thinking about where the Force could have taken them if the Mandalorian wars had never happened, if this war between the Jedi and Sith never followed after it. Getting up, he took the book with him and headed right to the cockpit. He paused for a moment, seeing Jax there actually brought him some comfort. He walked in slowly and tossed the book lightly at the blank area on the console “If I hadn’t been training with my master when they left… I might have followed after her. I almost did when we returned.” He told him, sitting beside him in the co-pilot chair. He looked down at his hands “Master Vrook was visiting that day, he told me if the war was in destiny then I would have been there to leave with the others. My Master took me aside that night, explained in detail that he saw other things for me through the Force. That for the wars to come, I was meant to be a Jedi. So, I stayed.” He reached for the book, lightly ran his fingers over the lightly worn cover and tucked it into his sleeves with his hands.<br/><br/>“If we’re asked, she’s going to be my reason for leaving the Jedi. A want, or need to find her if they ask. I can tell them it’s a pull in the Force.” He said, watching the other man with careful brown eyes. “And if what the Force is telling you is correct, and we’re meant to be reunited with acquaintances then I hope its them.” He said, staring out at the stars as they quickly passed them by. He felt, heavy and uneasy about his decision but he wouldn’t lie to Jax as they were mending their Force Bond, it would have only been a matter of time before he had fully sensed it anyway There had not been much the four of them had been able to hide from each other back then when the bond had been far stronger. “Did you want to work on the Telepathy?” he decided to ask, wanting to the change in subject. Jek took a deep calming breath and looked at Jax, he used the bond to focus on him “Have you trained any younglings?” he tried to think to him, because he could think of nothing else.<br/><br/>*******<br/><br/>An-Lok watched as Aeris summoned the training saber’s she never used, but soon grinned as she was asked if she was going to join her. She detached her personal lightsaber from her belt, adjusted it to its lower powered setting. Removing her cloak, she tossed it aside and shifted into her stance while her blade came to life. It always looked like a cross between form seven and four. “Did you want to make it more interesting?” she asked her with that devious grin of hers from their youth that preceded every time they were going to get in trouble. This time however, as Sith Lords, they would not be getting in trouble as they were above all others currently on the cruiser. She gave her a wink, hand reaching out to the controls and turning on the training room. The robots came to life, raising their blasters as the targets began to move.<br/><br/>“We’re not just going to defend against each other, but blaster fire and let’s see if we can deflect them into targets, hmm?” An-Lok asked, her grin still in place and making her look very much like the predatory Nexu. “On three?” she asked her, but only counted to one before she was launching into the air at Aeris of form four. She rolled away from her and rose up in form two so that she could deflect the incoming blaster firm of one of the training robots. She was exhilarated to have someone who could be in the training room with her and wondered if the other could still keep up with her. “Keep up.” She teased, using part of form three to attach low before she was flipping away from her further into the training room, defending herself as she went. "You able to train on that ship of yours, I had a whole planet." she said, kneeling and arcing her blade around her in its bright orange glow to deflect the blaster bolts to a few of the targets while keeping an eye on Aeris.
