Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>A teasing reply died on Nory's lips as the seriousness of the situation returned to her abruptly. Once again, she was struck by relief that those she was closest to would be going as well. Instead, she settled for smiling back at Kailen, and giving him a gentle nudge with her elbow.<br/><br/>She weathered the awkward meet and greet with the officer, hoping that introductions like this weren't going to be standard with every new group they encountered. Especially when he left immediately afterward, leaving them in the lieutenant's care. As a Jedi<em>(or maybe former-Jedi...)</em>she was somewhat used to being something of an event in people's lives, but these were professionals, who they would have to be working with regularly.<br/><br/>At Merryn's words, she blinked in surprise. She had, of course, always hoped to be made a Knight, and finish her training under Merryn, but this was not how she'd expected her training to officially end. She felt a burst of sadness, tempered somewhat by the pride she felt at her master deeming the pair of them ready. The statement drove home, in a way she hadn't been expecting, that they may not be able to return to the Order. They may never officially become Jedi Knights.<br/><br/>They may never come back at all.<br/><br/>She felt the emotions, and let them ride their course. She had learned long ago that trying to avoid feeling any emotions wouldn't work for her. The best she could do was acknowledge them, then move on without letting them direct her. That done, she tried to calm herself, edging slightly closer to Kailen as he spoke. Undoubtedly, both Kailen and Master S'Jet could feel the worry still inside her, even if she appeared calm on the surface. "I'm... honored, Master." Her voice hitched, just for the briefest of moments. It would be unlikely that anybody who didn't know her would have even noticed it.<br/><br/>She shifted her heavy bag slightly on her shoulders at the lieutenant's question. "No, thank you. I'm fine. Thank you for making arrangements for us, Lieutenant." She gave the other woman a friendly smile.
