Unwritten Path [PAUSED]

22 BBY, Month 8

When everyone started stepping out of the little spaceship, she felt the ship land causing her to wobble. A hand landed lightly on her shoulder, and she looked back. She saw Master Plo standing there, feeling something inside the force. Lexi halted her movement and focused entirely on the man. Lexi wanted to get out of this tiny ship so she could stretch and have some legroom. However, she didn't mind waiting if it was necessary.

"You did well out there young one," Plo Koon spoke while he removed his hand to have on his chin. Knowing there was probably more, the jedi glanced at the clones leaving as well as Ashoka and Anakin departing. "Your fears will cloud your judgment. An open mind will let different paths form."

Plo Koon walked passed her, leaving her to dwell on his words. She knew his meaning right away. Her body turned around to walk after her maser, by his side the two walked down the ramp after the two other jedi. Lexi noticed Wolffe with Anakin, their mouths moving but unable to listen to the conversation. When reaching their side, Plo Koon turned to Anakin with a knowing look.

"Skywalker, it is time to give our report to the council," Plo Koon stated when heading to the bridge of the ship. Staying back, her gaze briefly met Anakin who shared her gaze. Walking after her master, her peripheral vision saw Anakin going back to the young girl.

"It is weird, seeing him with another besides Master Kenobi," Lexi admits causing Plo Koon to nod his head. Her eyes went to the clones aboard the ship, many that were here with the blue standing out. This caused her to miss the many clones they lost, even if she wasn't close or knew them. It was lives lost for an unavoidable incident. She thought about doing something about the armor for the battalion. Maybe a color change to make it unique.

"Like you. Skywalker is growing and learning new ways," Plo Koon tells her in a sincere tone. Growing uh? Lexi turned back to see Anakin walking with Ashoka by his side. She was his smile and felt a comforting presence around the man. Turning to face the front as her feet carried her through the ship. A melody began to play from her, soft and quiet to buy time.

Walking to the bridge, Lexi knew this meeting would determine the outcome of what to happen next. She didn't want to attend but knew it wouldn't be possible to skip. Unless it would damage Master Plo's image. She felt she was on thin ice with a certain member of the council. Approaching a set of doors, she saw them open with a loud sound echoing. Eyes turned towards the group when entering the bridge. Her eyes spotted a bald clone, his blue armor stood out among the rest. He had a shoulder piece on that made him feel superior to the other clones she met.

"Master Plo, Skywalker," Master Yoda's voice carried a deep relief. His eyes turned towards her and Ashoka who smiled. "Young padawans. Glad you're here."
