My Lunch Turned Invisible. [ Open ]

Jacen Solo was seated in the mess hall, yes, but did he have some sort of sustenance in front of him to go along with the place he was seated in? No. He was just sitting at a table, staring blankly to the surface with his hands clasped in his lap and eyes faintly glazed over. No matter where he had been since he arrived here, this was usually how he looked. Completely and utterly lost in thought.

Why had he been brought here? And why had he been brought so soon after he fought for the right to finally relax? It was only days after the war with the Yuuzhan Vong ended. Days.

He had been thinking of traveling around the galaxy, maybe making a stop by Hapes to visit an old friend, maybe stopping by Yavin 4 for a quick round of meditation techniques in the now-ruined Jedi Temple, but no. Not anymore. Now Jacen was left to ponder once more. He was here now. He had met new people (which was usually a plus to him) and he had seen his Aunt and Uncle (he still wondered why they were here too -- and why there had been vague sparks of discomfort when he spoke to them) and he had heard other members of his family were here. Why hadn't he found them?

Jacen didn't want to admit that he probably hadn't found them yet because he was too busy sitting around moping brooding.

His stomach growled at him quite loudly but he was too busy listening to the never-ending chatter of his own thoughts. Just like usual.

The grin that was on his face stayed put as she spoke and he squeezed her hand back. "I think this place will be a little easier ot manage as long as you're around -- and people as kind as you are. Is everyone here like this?"

He kind of hoped all the people he hadn't met yet were as caring as Arha (even though he knew they weren't; the galaxy wasn't that lucky), because he knew that would make whatever reason he was brought here worth it. Back in his own time and place he fought for people like Arha. He wanted the galaxy to be safe for people as bright and gentle as her.

"There are many like myself, though you must dig a little more to find it in others. Most people do not wear their kindness nor their joy on their sleeves, so to speak," Arha said, her eyes bright with humor that nearly rolled off her like a thick fog. "I hope to be around for quite awhile, such is part of why I am here, I think. I was drawn to and by the Force for a reason and it is something that will continually astonish me at every turn. But I know one thing for certain, that I am to be Jed-Eye to help others in whatever way I am able to do so--be it as a healer or as a fighter."
