Jekin felt more at ease as they entered the public area.  More space to move, unlike the speeder that brought them here, and more people around.  He could deal with people, in the grand scheme of things.  He did not know exactly what he was getting into with who they would be meeting, of course, but he knew that he could do a lot of playing by ear.  As they made their way through crowds, most of that involved smiling politely but remaining separated from things; just like most people expected Jedi to act.<br/><br/>It was what made it awkward when he met the General and the 'former' Jedi Master.  Does someone really stop being a Jedi Master just because they leave the Order?<br/><br/>That was a conundrum for a different time or place, and probably not one his brain would be able to work out with just one night's worth of thought.<br/><br/>It is odd for the old practice of checking hands to happen almost instinctively, and for him to notice a former Jedi Master with a naked ring finger accompanying a General who was wearing a wedding ring.<br/><br/>Hopefully, the General would not put his political career to the sword, if he was being untoward toward Master Kae.  Hopefully, if he did get caught, everyone would have the sense to ignore it.<br/><br/>He shook the general's hand firmly and quickly before speaking so that anyone else who wanted to shake the hand of one of the most important men in the Republic could.<br/><br/>"Padawan Jekin Tolar.  It's an honor to meet you both, Master, General," he said, doing his best to blend the appropriate deference with the confidence one might hope a man has in this situation.  He then stepped back so the others could say their pieces.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-02-19 18:11:51, TheFourthShade (uid: 55451) rolls: 1d20a9 Result: 27 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=85824)</div></div>
