Ir was looking out at the battle. Goran was the only Republic fighter out there, the rest were the pirates. Goran's fighter dipped and dived, diverting the fighters away from the frieghter and at him. They weren't very smart these pirates were. They seemed to fall for the bait every time. Ir was dazzled by the dog fight and barly heard Sephi speak. "I dunno," Ir replied to Sephi's question though he realy wasn't paying attention.

The girl smiled slightly, and turned her attention back to the fight. In no time at all, the number of pirate ships had already been cut in half. It was simply amazing how good Master Goran was at this, as well as how amazingly stupid those pirates were. But as she always did when she was nervous, Sephi started to lightly nip at the skin around her nails. It was purely instinctual, and she couldn't help but do it. She was nervous.

As the last of the pirate fighters was destroyed Goran straiten his fighter out and pulled along side of the freighter. Ir and Sephi could see Goran, and he could see them. A quick wave, and then he pulled away from the frieghter.All that was left was the interdictor, an old frieghter that couldn't survie a fight, that was fleeing the battle. Ir and Sephi couldn't hear Goran, but he was communicating through his comm unit to the captin of the frieghter. "Those fighters were short range, the pirates have a base in the system, I'm going to dock and then we get out of here as soon as possible," Goran radioed to the captian. The captian responded with an affirmative.

Before Goran could dock, a Maruader Mk IV jumped in. The frigate began to gain on the frieghter. Goran broke formation with the frieghter. "JUMP NOW!!!" Goran yelled to the captian. The captian didn't need to respond, he was already on it plotting a course as quick as he could.

Sephi waved gently at Goran when he waved to them, and continued watching. When the Maruader MK jumped in, Sephi practically jumped up. She moved over to the door and locked it, before taking her place next to Ir again. She crossed her arms and sat on the window sill, still kind of worried. She started again with her nail biting, and tried unsuccessfully a couple of times to stop. When Goran was in a battle, even though she didn't know him very well, there was a nagging little voice in the back of her mind that wondered whether or not he was going to come back.

The port side window became blinded by the light of hyperspace. The star streaks seemed to be almost hypnotic. Ir jumped back in suprise.

The Goran paced through the manuvers he was about to go through. In the end though he knew he would have to bored the ship and take it by force if he was to get out of this. His Delta-7 was not equiped with a hyperspace ring.

"He doesn't have a hyperspace ring...", Sephi said quietly. She didn't doubt that Goran was still alive, but she did know it'd take a while for him to catch up. She sighed almost silently and closed her eyes, setting her head against the window. It didn't help that the star streaks going past the window were already giving her a headache. Looking towards the room and not out the window, Sephi re-opened her eyes. "We'll get to the temple, and watch him show up.", she said in an almost joking tone.

Goran's fighter dip and dived as it evaded the Maurder's turrets. He skirted around the hull, looking for a possible entry point. Nothing yet, and he would have to take down the shields as well. This was going to be a hard bought task even for a Jedi Master.

Sephi smiled and glanced at Ir. "Hey. You alright? You look like you've been hypnotized.", she said, waving a hand in front of his face. Silly boy could be distracted by anything. "Let's go see when we'll be out of hyperspace.", she said gently, tugging on his sleeve.

Ir followed Sephi, both of them snaking their way to the bridge.

Inside the bridge sat two men at controls, and one man sitting a command chair, most likly the captain or first mate.

******

Goran skimmed the hull of the pirate frigate. He searched for a point of entry.

Sephi's question was answered before she could open her mouth, as the ship slowed and the lights and speed of hyperspace died down to a cruising speed. She looked at Ir and shrugged. Nevermind then.

((OoC: I greatly apologize for the long period in which I did not post, I ask that you forgive me, I didn't mean for time to slip away from me so much.))

Ir watch out the viewport in the bridge. Corescant grew in size as the frieghter carrying them slowed down coming out of hyperspace. "This is frieghter Luck's Folly, requesting landing permission, verification code, 1103, 0047, 91, we are carrying various cargo plus two passenger," the pilot said over his comm unit. Ir tugged on Sephi's tunic, "maybe we should go back to our rooms."

(OOC: It's cool. ^^ I have no room to complain. In about nine days, I'm going to be gone for a couple months.)

Sephi glanced out as the planet grew closer. The lights could probably be seen planets away. She looked over at Ir and nodded, exhaling lightly. She ran a hand through her hair and looped her arm in his, a habit of hers, and made her way back to the room. Big cities had always fascinated the girl, something about the lights made her feel comfortable. But this was certainly the first time she'd been to one.

(OoC: Just tell me the last time you get to post so we can put this on pause.)

"Yes, please connect us to the council, we need to up date them on the currant situation," the pilot spoke into the comm unit after Ir and Sephi left.

*****

"I wonder what the temple is going to be like," Ir asked to no one in particular as the two walked down the hallway to the crew quarters.

(OOC: I'll be sure to, don't worry. ^^)

"I bet it's going to be peaceful. And beautiful.", Sephi said with a small smile. She closed her eyes tranquilly, already picturing the gardens that she imagined to be there. She loved flowers, they always made her feel calm.

"I hope we get accepted," Ir commented to Sephi. His mind wandered, thinking about the temple and what it would be like when, or if, he was a jedi.

*****

"Yes Master Yoda, Goran went after the pirates, to buy us time, we don't know if he's alive or not, but we were still reciveing his transponder when we jumped," the pilot said updating Yoda on the situation.

"Hmm, dire the times are, meditate on this I will, the young ones to the temple you bring," Yoda spoke in his backward way.

"Yes Master Yoda, we'll land shortly."

Sephi chuckled and patted his arm. "Oh, hush up. You'll get accepted, we know that. You're strong.", she told him with an encouraging smile. Her eyes moved to her hand on his arm, noting that her nails were black. Odd, seeing as how she hadn't painted them. And black? So depressing. Much more concerning was the odd looking shadow behind Ir. It was clear all the way through, but it was like heat waves. Hard to describe, but the girl could sense that he was there for protection.

"Thanks, if they don't let you in, then I'm not going to join them," Ir said in a matter of fact tone.

Sephi shook off the odd things, and chuckled, looking at Ir's face. "Hush, now. Whatever happens, happens.", she said with a shrug. She patted his back, leaning against the wall. "Now, stop worrying. They'll sense that overwhelming fear and nervousness. And knowing the council, or from what Master's told us, they'll call you out on it. Calm yourself.", she said easily. Stand up straight, respectful at all times. When she couldn't sleep, she practiced keeping a calm pose and mind.

"Okay, if you say so," Ir said as he took a few deep breaths to calm him self, an exorsize that he had learned.

Sephi smiled a little, and rubbed his shoulder, something that her father had taught her to do when she or a friend were nervous. There were pressure points in the shoulders that released endorphins and calmed people down, as well as made them happy. It could help the dear boy, she thought with a small smile.
