"Yes, sir," Tiji said, carefully hiding the yawn, and listening to the Republic Admiral's final orders, his smaller, blue and flickering face oblivious to her boredome as he finished outlining her mission.

The young Jedi nodded and saluted him, then breathed a sigh of relief as he finally finished and left.

"I'm impressed. You managed to look much more attentive this time," her father smiled, approaching. She smiled.

"Come on dad, it's just a message delivery," she rolled her eyes.

"I still wish you'd take somebody with you. Zaalbar or Mission or-"

"The only one who's free is Atton," she said sweetly. Atton, who was currently shuffly Pazaak cards, looked up helpfully.

"Well he'd be useless," Carth sighed. "Alright. you ready to go?"

"Yes, dad," she smiled.

"Well, there was one about a master's lightsaber stuck in the top of the flagpole and turned on."

She giggled and shook her head. "Must've been trouble."

[random_xtras]

"It sounded like it." He grinned and checked the arrow.

"We should be getting there soon," she said, looking around tensely.

"Mmm hmmm," he said absently, listening to a wordless report on the world around them, seeking any danger that might be there.

The woods were silent and watchful, but no aggression was met. They came upon what seemed to be a dark, stone-carved temple.

"This is it," she sighed. "I'd better go in alone, they hate outsiders, and groups of outsiders even more. Can you guard the supplies?'

"Sure." He moved to sit on the back of his seat, hands visible and held easily as he tilted his head and gazed into space.

She giggled and stole a kiss before slipping into the structure, disappearing though the hidden doorway.

A couple hours later she reappeared, looking hassled and like she was nearing the end of her usually well thought of patience. Behind her a few short, green beings with bumpy heads, large eyes, and gaping, toothless mouths followed behind her, oozing the same level of annoyance.

"Here," she said briskly, pulling aside the cover off the speeder. Then she went and sat by Frank, sighing as she watched the beings quickly begin to unload it.

Frank chuckled softly. -Okay, Shining One.-

The Glow that Tiji could see reached out from him, touching her and leaving a feeling of inexplicable peace and comfort before going on toward the natives.

She sighed happily, then smiled and leaned against him. -These people are driving me MAD,- she said, watching them. They quickly relieved the sled, then saw them leave, the sled now bare. -Ah. Let's get out of here.-

[random_xtras]

-If it makes you feel any better, you were doing the same for them.- He put an arm around her and rested his cheek on her hair, feeling content for a moment before he hopped down into the seat and fastened his safety belt.

-They're just plain mad. I had nothing to do with it,- she smirked, getting into her seat. -You have no idea thier custom, though. It takes forever for them to say hello. No wonder they sent me to do this job.-
