Walking through the temple halls, Jupiter swept gracefully forwards without a flicker of concern on her face. She had just been summoned by the Council and although she did not know for what reason, she did not sense anything to cause her worry. Worrying was not in her nature. Many young padawans and Jedi bowed as she passed and she would offer a quick smile and nod of her head as she passed though she never broke pace.

Having been a fully-fledged Jedi Knight for some time now, Jupiter felt comfortable with who she was and worked hard to improve and maintain her skills. She had long since abandoned her padawan clothes and now wore very simple garb of mottled greys and darker tones. Instead of the traditional clothing of a Jedi, Jupiter had opted for customising her own clothes so that she wore a sleeveless shirt with a keyhole design with a kimono styled collar and cut. Attached to the shirt was her hood which she could wear when wanting to hide her features, something that most Jedi wore when out in public.

In addition, Jupiter wore sleek dark grey bottoms with a wraparound skirt which hugged her hips snugly, tucked into her belt which carried her lightsaber and a portion of the fabric hung elegantly between her legs. Flexing her fingers Jupiter tugged her gloves to make sure they weren't slipping, taking a deep breath as she then lifted her hands to neaten her hair. Small strands of her raven hair escaped the crown section that she kept tied back, however the rest of her hair was twisted into a loose plait that hung over her shoulder, keeping it out of her way effectively.

Taking the elevator up to the council, Jupiter paused outside of the round room, waiting a moment so that they could sense her presence before she entered. "Masters." She bowed to them respectfully, going to the centre of the room and glanced around. "You summoned me here?"

"Yes, a task for you we have." Master Yoda informed her and Jupiter nodded her head, expecting to be sent to some remote planet for a mission.

"Of course, I will do whatever you ask, master." She answered, however as she looked around, no one else gave any indication of speaking. Most of the seats were empty, including Master Windu's. Jupiter was a little disappointed not to see him, however she hid it from her expression as she watched Yoda slide off his seat and slowly begin to walk towards her.

"Important it is to pass on knowledge. A student becomes a master, the master then teaches a student. Yes?" A little confused, Jupiter frowned.

"Yes Master, it is part of our tradition to teach the younger padawans. Do you require me to take a class?" She offered but Yoda shook his hand, waving his hand at the door and it opened to reveal a very young Nautolan girl, her fourteen extensions barely touching her shoulders. Her skin was a soft shade of bluish green and her large black eyes blinked innocently as she nervously entered the council room.

"Come young padawan, be afraid you should not." Master Yoda invited and the padawan came a little closer. Jupiter could instantly see how nervous the child was so she relaxed her stance, offering an encouraging not to the youngster who sucked in a deep breath and put on a brave face. "Padawan Dhea Lempustit, like to introduce you to Jedi Knight Jupiter, I would."

"Greetings master, it is an honour to meet you." She whispered a little shakily. Jupiter arched an eyebrow, looking down accusingly at Master Yoda who merely smiled at her as some of the other members of the council rose to their feet.

"This is who we have selected to be your padawan, Jupiter." Master Plo Koon informed her as he made a soft gesture with his hand. "We meditated on the matter and the Force guided us to pair you two together. It is now your duty to teach this youngling all that you know."

"But Masters, I was not intending to take a padawan for a long time, I am still…" Slowly Jupiter faltered, realising that to argue would be fruitless as they had already made up their minds. Finally she exhaled, giving a slight shake of her head before she bowed to her superiors. "If this is what you wish then I shall do my best to train this youngling." She decided before straightening up, stepping closer to the young female. "Dhea, I am glad to meet you. I hope you learn well from me, as I learned from my master." A bright smile touched the younglings face so Jupiter softened a little, though she gave Master Yoda a stern look. "A warning would have been nice, though." He only chuckled at her.

"Had we asked you first, protested you would. Believe in yourself, young Jupiter, great strength you possess. Teach that strength to others, you should." Out of pure respect for Master Yoda's greater wisdom, Jupiter bowed her head to him and Dhea did the same, still shifting nervously even as she followed her new master from the council chambers.

The youngling could hardly contain her excitement. She had been hoping to be accepted as a padawan for a long time now as all of her friends had already been paired with other Jedi, leaving her the last to be chosen. She had never dreamed that she would be paired with the greatly renowned and respected Jupiter who had no last name. No one knew her full name and no one dared to ask as very few had the confidence to approach her, however Dhea now had her as her own master!

"M-Master?" She began and Jupiter blinked, surprised and unused to being addressed in such a way so she stopped, looking down to the youngling patiently. "Is there anything that I need to know? Any rules or things that I shouldn't do to upset you?" Dhea asked timidly, squirming on the spot and wringing her wrists with a bowed head. For a moment Jupiter just looked at her, unsure of what to do before finally, she chuckled.

"You can start by lifting your head." She said, reaching out and delicately lifting the child's head so that their eyes met. "Confidence begins with eye contact. Learn to meet people in the eye and you will find them much less intimidating when you become used to looking at them directly." Jupiter schooled, beginning to walk forwards once more and Dhea hurried to keep up. "The Jedi are peacekeepers, therefore we are figures whom people look to for protection. If you are to protect others, you must first hold the strength to be able to do so."

"I understand master. I will try my best to do better." Dhea vowed enthusiastically, making Jupiter smile down at her. Dhea's eyes sparkled, full of excitement and great anticipation. Her emotions were strong and vibrant, making Jupiter fully aware of her presence beside her so she decided that she would follow her master's approach to teaching and begin with meditation to calm her mind.

"Come, we shall meditate and I shall begin our first lesson." Jupiter instructed, motioning for her padawan to keep up with her. It was a strange feeling, a large responsibility placed heavily on her shoulders yet she was unsure if she was ready to undertake such a task. "Obi-Wan, I could use your advice right about now." Jupiter murmured under her breath, making Dhea blink up at her, not quite hearing what she had said.

"Master?" She questioned and Jupiter nodded, signalling she was listening. "Is it true your lightsaber is orange? May I see it?" Dhea questioned and Jupiter frowned slightly, looking down at the youngling.

"Do many people talk about my lightsaber?" She questioned and Dhea blushed, unsure whether or not she had spoken.

"Um…not that I am aware of. My friends used to say that your blade was very almost red, like that which the Sith used to carry. Is it true?" With a sigh Jupiter stopped once more, lifting a hand and the moment her lightsaber flew to her palm she ignited it, revealing the vibrant blade which immediately had Dhea in a stunned awe, little mouth dropping open in wonder.

"You see? Colour hardly matters, my crystal is simply unique. You have your own lightsaber, do you not?" Eagerly Dhea nodded and pulled it off her belt, revealing the aqua blade with pride. Jupiter closed her blade and placed it on her belt, reaching out and took the lightsaber from her apprentice, turning it over to inspect it closer. "You made this well, it is a good design." She complimented and when she looked down, she was shocked to see a starry eyed expression of glimmering pride, one that she had used to look up at Master Windu with when she was younger.

Clearing her throat she handed the lightsaber back, blushing slightly as she struggled not to smile. "Come, my young padawan, it's time we started your training." Dhea scampered after her and Jupiter felt an odd sense of maternal instinct in her as the soft patter of footsteps followed after her, wanting to keep Dhea close and nurture her until she was ready to walk on her own.
