[after doing the standard post-flight checkup, Jaina engages the docking ramp and comes walking down it, hands fiddling with a rag as she tries to get all the coolant, fuel, miscellaneous machine goo off.]

Still in one piece.

[she hits her closed fist against the wall of the ship to make sure Isolde realizes that's what she's talking about]

[theforestechoes]

As are you. [yeah, don't think she isn't going to be all worried mama bear on you, Jaina]

[Isolde looks over The Tempest, her neutral face slipping into a frown. She hesitates, wanting to go inside, but she isn't quite sure. Atton's not going to be there, and maybe that's what hurts the most.]

I almost forgot that Dantooine isn't... covered in raiders and mercenaries yet. I half expected...

[abovetwinsuns]

For the most part. [ oh hey that rag is suddenly INCREDIBLY INTERESTING ]

If it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure they leave.

[theforestechoes]

Not really, but all things must cycle. Does it ever become a place for the Jedi again? [it is her home, after all, no matter what the Council tried to do]

Come on. [She finds her resolve, knowing there's no reason to avoid her own ship, walking at a comfortable pace towards it.] Let's go inside and talk.

[ Jaina frowns. she's never been one for sugar-coating, but still...]

Not in my time. The Jedi Temple's on Yavin IV, a jungle moon. [ the hint of a grin ] My uncle rebuilds the Order after it-

[theforestechoes]

After it has been destroyed? [she says it matter of factly, but there is still a hint of sadness to it] It will likely happen again, an endless cycle of the Jedi finding their place within the galaxy.

[Isolde glances at Jaina] It's a shame that Dantooine is forgotten.

[abovetwinsuns]

Not really forgotten. Just...not the same.

[ she frowns, jaw clenching slightly as anger filters through her ]

Coruscant's destroyed.

[theforestechoes]

No, I suppose that... it would be hard to recover from what will happen to it. [her home :c]

She will thrive again. [she glances at Jaina, resting a calming hand on her arm, filtering out the anger from their bond] Coruscant is not a city that will stay down.
