The time had come to stop researching and testing to see how they would treat one of his kind. He had to act and ask for admission to their ranks. He'd spent months on Alderaan mostly in Aldera the capital city working as a private investigator. Like most things in his life he had a number of reasons for this outside of just making a living and surviving. Understanding the people of the Core Worlds was challenging for someone who only spent time in the Outer Rim and then only within the Chiss Ascendancy. Understanding their problems led to understanding the people having these problems.<br/><br/>Alderaan was a lovely planet. He thought he'd be immediately homesick but when he wasn't working he spent time building a cabin at the foot of Cloudshape Falls as a retreat. He needed a place that was isolated to think and plan where there was no surveillance. His cabin was functional, Effie made it a home. One of his customers was a droid programmer who thought his spouse was cheating on him, then part of some kind of intergalactic rebellion...then a spy. He didn't have much in the way of credits but Effie received a number of mods and updates.<br/><br/>Zaqhe'zil'nrista's time at his cabin had unforeseen consequences. He thought the majority of his time would be spent doing research, practicing with his blade and doing strategic battle simulations on his portable computer. The second time he went to his hidden sanctuary her found  a wolf cat (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1a/0f/e5/1a0fe5755259926de83b30d6095e0775.jpg) sleeping on his bed. It had gotten into his stores and was making quite a comfortable existence for itself. Seeing it was also injured he decided to nurse it back to health. It was one of the first time he felt empathy for a being that wasn't his family. He spent most of his time learning to hunt with Csson'vat, as he'd named the animal. It was surprisingly difficult to leave his cabin and his friend behind. He was pretty sure that the Jedi would not accept both Effie and a pet. They lived a spartan existence.<br/><br/>"Zaqhe'zil'nrista we have arrived." Effie informs him bringing him out of his reverie. "Zak, most people can only say Zak. You should call me that as well." he lets his droid know. Getting to the Jedi Temple wasn't difficult, he was a more than adequate investigator. Arriving during a ceremony where they were accepting new recruits felt right. The Jedi had an elegant aesthetic for their temple. Their leader, Yoda was speaking. He had an interesting cadence to his speech. It forced you to listen and reassemble the words in your mind. Always teaching this one is.<br/><br/>He was put in a group with other initiates...padawans. Some of the others were bored, one even challenged the leader. Interesting move, letting him know you are out for him on your first day. For now, Zak chooses to learn and walk with the droid assigned to bringing them to their quarters. The droid tells Zak that arrangements to get him assigned to a master in the morning.
