Rhys turned to the additional voice that had joined them, and saw a small Squall hop its way over to Jaslin and then put her paws on the Jedi Master. He couldn't manage to suppress a grin. He looked up where the Squall had come from and saw a younger male, quite shy and bashful looking standing awkwardly next to the bed.
He put his hand out for the Jedi master and pulled her to her feet. He couldn't help but flush a little himself. The way the man had mumbled his name was as if he was shy, and there was a moment that passed between them that was impossible to deny that they had some instant chemistry. The young man was definately cute. "Hey, cool." He stuck his hand out confidently and flashed his blue eyes at the man. "I'm Rhys."
Rhys Scott looked down at what he was wearing and realized he was wearing the barely covering bottom of a hospital gown and the top half had been cut off so the Jedi could apply bacta patches and conduct healing trance. He did have a nice physique from working out and fighting at that underground fight club on Nar Shaddaa though, which he thanked himself for because he probably wouldn't have made it out of there alive if he hadn't had some fighting skills.
Osik... he thought to himself. Half naked and cut up badly wasn't a good way to meet a new stranger.
"Uh..." He awkwardly looked over at a closet nearby and grabbed a simple white tshirt and slipped it on before asking David, "So are you a Jedi too then?"

David took the man’s hand, noting the callous on the palm and across the knuckles. He also knotted that a few of the knuckles had been broken. Cheko mewed softly as in his arms. “Nice to meet you” David said quietly, his eyes brushing discreetly over the man’s physique. Slender but toned, full of those long strong muscles breed of a hard life. And quite a few where on display. David felt his cheeks redden as the man turned away and rummaged through his wardrobe. The question shocked him into a short burst of laughter. “Me? No I just fix the droids in the temple, and grow plants, I live down in the hanger". He kicked himself at that last part. And grow plants? Why the hell did you say that? Cheko squirmed in his arms. "This is cheko by the way, sorry he came over and desterbed you".

Rhys couldn't help but feel his hands tingle in the handshake between them. He felt as if he had met this man before and yet, it was impossible that he had met David before, he would have known.
He was shocked by the answer. He didn't know that anyone else but Jedi and droids lived in the Temple. But then again, he wasn't a Jedi and he hadn't seen much of the Temple thus far. "Oh cool..." He felt himself smiling again, realizing the man was probably just as shy as he was. Rhys had learned to push past his introverted self, and now acted like an extrovert when infact he could play the shy guy or the outgoing one equally well. He wondered if the young man grew Wroshyr trees. They would have to be transplanted somewhere once they reached a certain age due to the potential size they would get centuries later but they were very beautiful and they always reminded him of home on Kashyyyk.
"Oh, what a nice pet. I just had a pet droid at my last home." He moved closer to David and let Squall sniff his hand before he scratched Squall behind the ears. He glanced up at David, and found himself smiling again, before he cast his eyes down at Cheko.

Jedi Master Chryss accepted the hand Rhys offered and stood up, quickly brushing her robe clean.
This latest development was definitely something big. She nodded as Manda questioned her of where it was happening and spoke quickly as she crossed the room to access a holonet receiver.
"Manda, whatever that was was definitely not on Coruscant. But I am fairly certain it happened somewhere in the Core."
Her fingers flew over the screen as she accessed the holonet and began scanning for the latest news headlines. Although she viewed most holonet reporters as a kin to vultures she knew that thanks to the way they always rushed to the biggest stories there would plenty of news available on the net within minutes of something this disastrous happening.
The sinking feeling in her stomach grew ever worse as she saw the first of the stories begin to play. "Corellia... They've hit Corellia..."
She had no real idea who 'they' were, but they had indeed struck again. Whoever had attacked the Coruscant Academy was most probably responsible for what had just happened to the capitol building of Coronet...

Soyu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Afterimages and snatches of emotion played across his consciousness, and he moved his attention between them, seeking out any that were clearer in detail. He opened his eyes again with a gasp, liquid beading at the edges of them, and took another few breaths to reorder his own emotions, returning to a state of calm.
"I think I see... an explosion. Or... two explosions. I'm not sure. What happened?"
There was a pause as he thought.
"And what are we going to do about it?"

David mentaly shook himself. "Well, it was nice to meet you Rhys" He said, and lifted Cheko back into his arms. He crossed the room and made his way back to the hyperlifts, His head spinning. The whole trip up to the temples hanger, he mused on the different aspects of Rhys. His confidence, His bright eyes, his toned and tanned body. He kicked himself for how stuped and stumbling he had sounded. Talking about his goddam trees. Shit!
David shook his head again as he crossed the hanger, making for his apartment and workshop. On his first attempt to enter the room, he slapped his hand 2 inches to the left of the door controls. Cursing under his breath, he punched the buttons and the door slid open. Cheko leaped off his shoulder, running for her water bowl, then standing on her hind legs to get at the new growth of a nearby tree.
David sat down at his work bench, and then put his head in his hands. "Oh you twit" he said. He had left the malfunctioning cleaning drone behind. He sighed and pulled the spare part he had taken out of his pocket. He slung it onto the bench and then moved over to his bed. Cheko looked over to him and then bounded up and onto his stomach. Davids breath left him in a whoosh of air. He gasped and started to giggle in surprise as Cheko licked the point of his chin, Mewling softly. David reached under his bed and took out an old data pad. He selected the book he had been reading and settled into a more comfortable position on his bed, slipping his glasses into his nose as he did.

Rhys smiled and gave back Cheko to David. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he watched David leave and take the turbolift to a different floor. Their short encounter had left him giddy and stunned. He'd felt the chemistry between them as if it was thick enough to cut through with a vibroblade. He knew how one acted when they were attracted to someone, and it definately felt mutual. He cleared his throat and turned back to Master Chyss and Soyu.
He hoped that he hadn't missed much. He heard Soyu mention something about explosions, and moved closer, to join in the conversation.
"I'm sure the Republic will try to figure out who was responsible, considering Corellia has been one of their long standing allies for awhile." He glanced at the screen that Jaslin was looking at and felt his stomach sink as he watched the chaos continue to unfold. "...but that could take a while."

Looking to Rhys as he spoke, Soyu had no doubt that what he said was true, the Republic would do as much as possible to find the perpetrators, but a number of thoughts welled up in his mind about this. The Jedi had access to resources that the Republic did not, and vice versa, not to mention that traditionally the Jedi were a resource of the Republic also. Furthermore, part of being a Jedi was to defend the helpless and aid those in need, this was intrinsic to the nature of a Jedi. However, he also knew that part of 'aiding those in need' was sometimes to step back and let someone else aid those in need, rather than take the lead. Behind all of this was the thought that someone could not feel what they had felt and do nothing about it. He silenced these thoughts with a new thought: Jaslin is a Jedi Master, and looked over at her.
