This section of the Temple
complex is a lush oasis compared to the vast desolation of the Dune Sea beyond the Temple's walled confines. Filled with all manner of exotic flora and fauna from across the Galaxy. It is a
tranquil environment in which students, teachers, and weary travelers alike can come to
find their center and relax after a hard day of academics and training.
In the Center of the Meditation Area is a natural aquifer that bubbles to the surface, feeding the lush oasis. This harnessed babbling brook has come to be known as the Reflection Pool; due to the large fountain and pool built around it. It is said that if one meditates on the mosaiced surface of the pool, and are truly at peace. that they may have visions on events yet to come.

Nel Bukk shook as she found her way to the gardens of the temple, her mind swirling and not quite settling on what had happened. The attack left her feeling raw, and she clung to one of the only pieces left of her life: a lightsaber hilt. Slowly, her feet came to a stop, and she was only vaguely aware of the meditation pool beside her. The adrenaline, which had been fueling her until this point, was all but gone now, and her knees hit the path that encircled the pool. Her knuckles were white around the hilt she held onto, and though her mind was still assembling what happened, she herself was blank. Her mind had shut off, leaving her adrift. She swallowed, hard, her eyes fixing on the aquifer that bubbled and gave life to her surroundings; it was an anchor, something to hold onto while she struggled to get her mind to work again.

From behind the young woman came the sound of whirring motors. A Temple protocol droid advanced towards the padawan on gyroscopic controlled wheels. It stopped several feet form the timid woman and gave her a respectful bow.
Lord Jud'dayus has requested your presence within the Temple, milady. The droid stated as it rose from the bow. I am to escort you. I am J20. Please follow me, milady...
And with its message conveyed it turned on it's heels and started back towards the looming Temple in the near distance.

It took a few moments before the woman registered the droid was there, and as she listened, she stood on shaking legs. The Zabrak swallowed past a lump that was lodged in her throat and she nodded in understanding to what the protocol droid had said. Without much hesitation, and still clutching the hilt of the lightsabre to her chest, she followed J20 towards the Temple. Her mouth and tongue were heavy, or else she would have asked questions. The impulse was there, but at the moment, her mind just shook its head at any effort to make a viable thought beyond obediently listening.

Though the droid was incapable of feeling it stopped in its advance, turning its featureless face a 180 to look at the young woman again.
There is nothing to fear, milady. The droid said plainly. My Lord is not one to harm those who need not be harmed. The droid paused for a moment. He only wishes your audience for clarification of recent events. Please follow me, milady.
The droid finished, swiveling it's head forward and starting off again.

Was her fear and stress so obvious that even a droid could pick it up? Nel mentally scowled at herself, only partially scolding herself for letting her feelings rule over her so thoroughly like they were. She shook her head and winced. Her hands hurt from holding onto the hilt so tightly. Slowly, she loosened her hands, her steps quickly catching up her to the droid after it had started again. Despite how much she had hated being called on her emotions, though, the reassurance was honestly something nice to encounter. The Zabrak took a deep breath to steady herself and let it out slowly, closing her eyes momentarily as she tried to center herself again. If she was going to be of any use, she needed to be functional to some degree or another.

Xxoxia sat in her training garb next to Enam. Both had been training furiously since their Masters' abrupt departure to Kuat. In the usual manner Jud'dayus hadn't divulged why he was going or when he'd be back, but both knew he'd be back... There was no way in killing the Old Sith - well - not to their collective knowledge's.
"Do you think he'll actually tell us why when he gets back?" Xia asked Enam, her eyes still closed in meditational cleansing.
"Probably not..." Enam answered, getting to his feet and stretching out his aching muscles. He had gotten soft. He hated to admit it, but he had not trained like this since leaving the Old Man and the Temple behind. It felt good, to be in battle, to have his blood pump through his veins, and the revigorance of his Darkside connection... but damn did it play a toll on his aging body. He actually wondered how the Old Man did it, how he stayed in fighting shape at the age of a mummy? Enam shrugged to himself, knowing that maybe he really didn't want to know the extent of keeping one's fighting spirit in such a primed state. Enam finally looked back down to Xia and sighed. "He's more a vault than anything else, you know that. If he deems something worthy of sharing he will, if not - well - he won't. Simple as that, always has been, and questioning such things has been taboo." Enam smirked. "Though it has been done." Enam laughed.
Xia gave the thought a smirk before opening her eyes and getting up along side Enam. "I'm pretty sure I felt him..." She said, looking up into the almost dusk sky. "He was training me in meditation before Bakura..." The thought of the planet unconsciously making her moving her fingers on her prosthetic arm. "and I think I finally am getting the feel for what he was teaching." She finished, looking to Enam for some kind of affirmation.
The man just looked up into the sky too, before turning to the young woman with a witty smile. "He tried that stuff with me. Never could stand just sitting there idle. So, your guess is as good as mine, if not better." Enam looked back into the sky. "He's out there though. I'd feel it in my bones if that old bastard bit it. I know that much." He side with a knowing smile. "Lets head back, its been a good day."
Xia nodded in agreement and the two collected their items and start back to the deserted Temple in the near distance.
