"I know, but...don't you see? I don't like when you try to be protective of me, Myraline. If I had actually known why...it wouldn't have been so upsetting to me," Rianna responds. "I still wouldn't have been happy with it, but at least I would have known there was an actual reason. Instead of just...finding out like this."
"All I can say is that I am sorry," Myraline says. She sighs. "The Council is weighing their options in regards to what should be done to help you. Vera-Kin asked the Council to be mindful of the fact that Rand manipulated you while on Ord Coridari... but I believe has exploited what was already there."
Myraline gets up.
"I'm sorry I wasn't the mentor I should have been."
"And what should I have done, then? Sending anyone else down after Rand would have just resulted in their death. If we had waited for him to return, there was a chance of him escaping with the weapon to use on Coruscant. And I had no idea that trying to destroy that thing was going to simply set it off! I was trying to keep him from being able to use it entirely, and I was nearly killed for my efforts," Rianna replies. "No, it probably wasn't the best option, but at that moment, knowing that time was running out...there wasn't time to think of anything else."
"And that is where we disagree," Myraline says, and she decides to take her leave of you.
The Council summons you later in the week, after your wound has healed more completely and only causes you a dull ache. They present to you the news that they think Rianna should be placed on... extended leave.
"Unfair, it was, to send you against Rand," Yoda says. "But a persistent problem, your impulsiveness has been. A Jedi, weigh the best options he must. Innocents were lost on Ord Coridari. Prevented, it could have been."
"We're sorry, Rianna," Windu says, "but you will need some time to yourself. Counseling sessions with the Temple's specialists will begin in a week's time. These are mandatory. They will help you deal with the grief you no doubt carry after what happened on Ord Coridari, and then establish a means of controlling your quick-to-action nature."
The Council dismisses you to begin your extended vacation... but your vacation is to consist of staying in the Jedi Temple and attending counseling sessions. It is also of indeterminate length.
Indeed. You are placed under the counseling of Master Gindi, a very wise and ancient Jedi who has been part of the Order nearly as long as Master Yoda himself. However, his views clash completely with your own; probably why you were placed with him.
After the second meeting, you cannot stand to attend any more. Master Gindi bores you to no end, and you are still grieving over what happened on Ord Coridari, and hurt by your perceived betrayal.
The real breaking point is when you try to practice your lightsaber stances... and you are interrupted by Master Gindi, who informs you that you should not engage in such practices. He tries to confiscate your lightsaber... to which you say "To hell with that."
You need to get out of here, Rianna. You are surrounded by oppressive mentors, and you never really had any friends as a Jedi. Foghren was the only one you ever got close to, but he has been dead for years now.
Oh yeah. Trying to keep Rianna from the one and only thing she enjoys, and trying to take her lightsaber, would definitely be the last straw.
So much for the Council trying to help her. As far as she can tell, their 'help' is just making things worse for her.
So yes. Rianna is very minded to just up and leave at this point. She thinks that perhaps she'll be able to do better if she's able to actually think for herself without being told that she's wrong. She's going to gather up what little stuff she has, and figure out a way to get out of the Temple.
Opportunities are slim. The main stairs to the Temple are guarded by Knights whose sole assignments are to protect those stairs.
But one day... you hear that an old friend is visiting Myraline, after she has run a mission with Ciira. Colby and the Viloc has docked in the Temple's landing bay to refuel.
Hey, and there's her chance out of this place.
She's going to make her way down to the landing bay, being careful to not get seen. She doesn't want anyone to even guess what she's up to, because then her only chance will be blown and she'll seriously be in trouble then.
And since she doesn't trust Myraline to have not told Colby what happened with Rianna, she's going to try to simply sneak onto the ship.
It is later the evening, so you find yourself moving about Temple cooridors that are largely empty. Being of the sneaky variety, it is fairly simple for Rianna to make her way around without being annoyed by anyone else.
When you arrive in the larger hangar where the Gozanti cruiser [i]Viloc[i] is at rest. Nobody seems to be around, so you start to sneak onto the open ramp...
"Can I help you?" asks Colby, stepping out from behind a crate that was preparing to load.
Rianna jumps and whirls around when she hears someone behind her, cursing her senses for not telling her that she wasn't alone.
"Colby, please, if you have any regard for me at all...let me come with you when you leave. I don't care where to," Rianna says, slightly embarrassed that she is practically begging him. "But I can't stay here a day longer."
