So, A Jetii

Cody frowned as he looked at the message from Obi-Wan. He's not sure why he needs to translate a message for him; Obi-Wan was fluent in over forty different languages, but he was only fluent in two.

-----

Three.
He was fluent in three languages; he forgot dragon was a language.

"What is he saying?" Obi-Wan asked, looking over at Cody.

Cody stared at the comm. "He's annoyed that you can not understand him."

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, "Quin, what else do you want beyond becoming a dragon?"

Cody waited until this 'Quin' had finished before translating. "He's stuck in dragon form with no one to help. He thought you'd be able to understand him and get assistance sent to him."

"What assistance?" Obi-Wan asked.

"He mentioned the Guard, whether they'd be able to send anyone out," Cody shrugged, "not sure whether Fox would allow his men out for a retrieval." Cody's eyebrows shot up at the man's answer. "You're sure? You think Fox will allow it because of who you are?"

Obi-Wan shrugged, "I guess it is worth a shot. Quin always has some weird connections."

-----

Cody's eyebrows rose as his ori'vod burst into swearing.

"Where is that du'kutla Jetii now? I'll send a squad to retrieve him," Fox sighed before muttering. "One mission; I couldn't trust him for one mission."

Cody waited in shock as he heard rustling from Fox's end of the comm.

"I'm unable to send out any guard members to go collect him as he's outside of Republic space," Fox sighed, "would you be able to collect him and drop him off at Kaal for retrieval?"

Cody quickly pulled up his datapad, noticing they had a big enough wait period, so they were available to retrieve a wayward dragon Jetii. "We should be able to; I'll notify you how large of a transport you need."

"Thank you," Fox stated.

Cody's eyebrows rose again; Fox hardly ever said thank you, especially to him. "No worries."

-----

Obi-Wan stepped out of the cruiser, walking forwards until he was in a space with ample enough space before shifting, feeling Cody do similar. "Did he say any particular place to find him?"

"Something about darkness?" Cody said. "He mentioned finding the day too bright."

"The mountain might have a large enough cave for a dragon to rest in. He knows I have a large shift, so he probably will keep to the larger spaces," Obi-Wan said, using his wing to point to the mountains in the distance.

"Well, best way to find out," Cody shrugged.

-----

Cody chuckled when Obi-Wan stumbled and nearly fell over when they landed.

"Not everyone first shifted flying," Obi-Wan grumbled.**

"You were able to fly last time," Cody pointed out.

"I had full dragon instincts then; my body just did it," Obi-Wan said, "now I have to think about it."

Cody chuckled, hearing Obi-Wan huff at him. "We should probably head deeper; this cave seems to stay wide for a while."

Obi-Wan nodded, signalling for Cody to lead on.

-----

The two continued to walk silently, moving deeper into the cave. Obi-Wan started to duck his head when Cody signalled them to stop.
