Snippet #1687308

Jedi Master Jin-Tai had just finished his morning tea and meditation cycle and was walking through the temple with a holo-pad, looking over the basic information of the new arrivals. He was well aware that they had already arrived, and he was supposed to be there to greet them. But, he believed everything in good time. He would go to them now. Besides, he had never been late in his life, a Jedi Master arrives precisely when he means to. Jin-Tai chuckled to himself quietly, his old master had said that too many times to count. Suddenly he stopped and fashioned his hands into a traditional Zabrak prayer, praying for the eternal peace for his former master. He then looked up and continued moving.

As he walked through the temple, many people greeted him with respect. He nodded to those under him and responded to other council masters that passed him by. He eventually made it outside. He stopped at the top step and took in a big breath of the morning air. The temple guards saluted him and he nodded to them. He then made his way down the steps and over to the group of younglings. He was about 20 feet away when he heard the last student introduce themselves. He then walked up and stepped into the gap between Koji and Hinai and nodded to both of them. He then let his yellow eyes gaze over the new students, no expression on his face. They did not fill him with confidence, then again, that's why they were here. He towered over all of them and looked them over thoroughly. A few already had lightsabers, so he guessed there was no need to send them into the crystal cave. He decided he should speak.

"I am Jedi Master Jin-Tai." he said in a deep baritone voice. "Masters Koji, Hinai and I are here to help you with anything you can think of. Do not be afraid to ask us for anything. I must emphasize that you must not be afraid. You may think you are alone, but the other three children that came with are the same as you, whether you accept it or not." Jin-tai said in a strict monotone. "It is a great honor to be given the chance you have been given. It has never been done before, because children like you have never existed before. You should feel honored, and humbled by this experience. It is my hope that all seven of us would be fast friends." Jin-Tai then looked at all of their faces with an expressionless stare. "Now, I'm sure you have questions. Most of your questions will be answered over the process of your training, but if you have anything you want to ask or say to any of us or your fellow padawans, you may do so now."
