Synopsis:
Willim Brennan, out on a job, comes by to see his sister. However, he's 
never seen her face to face and so he's a little confused as to how to 
find her. He gets assistance from a variety of people, and meets Tai, 
Moira's 'significant other.' Zaniness ensues. Eventually Moira appears 
and she and Will go off on their own.

Tai Jinn
-------------------------------------------------------- Tai Jinn ----------
    The man before you looks little more than a boy in actuality. His face
is youthful, attesting to an age of no more than 20, perhaps 21 at the 
most. His hair has grown long, with strands falling down over his right eye, 
one curling towards the bridge of his nose, and the other hanging along 
the outside of his blond eyebrows. A pair of other strands hangs down 
over his face, but doesn't fall quite as far, being lifted up underneath his 
other hair, causing them to curl outwards than towards his forehead 
about half an inch above his eyebrow on the left side. The hair strands 
alternate in color from red to blond, with red being on the farthest right. 
Throughout his hair, it continues to alternate occasionally, red and yellow 
exchanging places to give the hair an almost orange look at times. 
Beneath the blond eyebrows are large eyes that seem afire with life and 
youth. They are a deep and bright green that almost seem to glow. 
Although a bit larger than normal human eyes in appearance, they only 
add to the boyish appearance of the man. His face is rather normal in 
shape, his chin proud and strong. The man's nose is a bit large around the 
nostrils but not in a disgusting manner as it allows him to flare them rather 
easily to show distaste at something. The long hair falls down over regular 
looking ears, a braid falling behind the left ear down to his shoulder with 
alternating red and yellow braids.
    His body is covered in brown, earthy robes of a Jedi Padawan. They 
are loose about him, nearly smothering the man and engulfing his frame, 
hinting that he might be fairly skinny underneath it. A black belt is about 
his waist, underneath the brown robes but above the white clothes he 
wears about his body. Black boots cover his feet.

Davros

A lithe, thin young man of about 22 standard years of age is dressed, 
barring special occasion, constantly in a mechanic's outfit of simple loose 
fitting shirt and jeans, supplemented by overall's when he's working. His 
sandy blond hair that offsets his brown eyes is kept at a respectable length 
of just short of 3 inches, most often tousled and uncared for above the 
man's dreamy and often far-gazing face, as he seems constantly locked in a 
mental quandry or other, seeming out of synch with the others around him. 
Tall, but not abnormally so, 6 feet or maybe just a smidgen over. All in 
all, a body language and appearance that screams 'thinker'

Kastanje

-------------------------------------------------------- Kastanje ----------

    Your glance singles out this young woman, despite her somewhat short 
stature. She's on the slighter side of average for a human, no more than 
5'4", and doesn't compensate with flashy clothing. Narrow, Seasmoke-blue 
eyes are set symmetrically into an aristocratic face of smooth, sandalwood 
skin. Despite an appearance which could easily turn haughty, the eyebrows on 
this young woman are almost always arched with mirth, her eyes pulling up 
into crescents. The faint hints of laugh wrinkles branch from the corners of 
her eyes, but they're too shallow to put her in more than her late twenties. 
Her slightly frizzy fox-brown hair is pulled back into a long, practical 
fishbone braid. A few wisps manage to poke rebelliously out of the neatly 
kept style, keeping it from seeming too severe. There is the sickly yellow 
of faded bruising around her neck and on the inside of her left elbow. Her 
chin has a slight abrasion on it, as if from knocking into something rough.

    The woman's wiry frame is clothed in her usual practical, 
well-tailored faire. A high-collared shirt in simple, silky, pearlescent 
white covers torso and end above the elbow on her arms. Legs are obscured 
down to the black hide shoes in a stiff speckled-black fabric, the rough 
texture catching hints of deep red within it. A smooth gray stone pendant 
inscribed with some illegible symbol hangs from a cord around her neck, and 
stylish leather blaster holster fastened around her hips is rendered bulky 
by a few synth-weave packs attached to it.

Courtyard -- Jedi Praxeum Coruscant

    This vast courtyard is where much of the daily life of the Jedi can 
be observed. A park-like area near the bridge is often used as a study area, 
and the open areas in that park are teaming with life as students and 
teachers alike take part in sports and athletic activities, honing the body. 
At each corner of the square compound is a tower that is easily 200 stories 
high. Paths criss-cross the entire compound and run the perimeter, from 
tower to tower. At the north end of the compound is a large hill constructed 
of many different types and sizes of boulders.
    In the center of the courtyard is the largest tower, rising another 
100 stories above the other towers in the complex. The double-wide, ornate 
doors to this tower are always open. Unlike the other towers, this one has a 
wide section near the top that removes the tapered look the other towers 
have. Above this bulge is where the Jedi Council Chamber is located.

For once, Padawan Moira Brennan is nowhere to be seen. For the FUs around, 
she can be felt up in the Training Tower, where she's wandered off to go do 
some reading, meditating, or whatever it is those crazy Padawan do with 
their spare time. The Courtyard is full of it's usual licks o' Padawan, 
Acolytes and Knights sprinkled here and there, training, talking, and 
overall just being Jedi.

And up the wide long bridge from the city proper, strolls the briefcase 
carrying, casually dressed, and perpetually thoughtful Davros Talge, moving 
slowly and lesuirely. Business trip to Coruscant=time for Tai, Moira, Tanya 
and the gang.

Rruka is hiding up in his tree

    Not far behind Davros is a young man, very young. Like, late teens. 
He's got honey blonde hair, and blue green eyes. He's not short, though- the 
boy is a full 6'2", and is almost all leg. He's also muscular, especially 
his arms and shoulders, as if he does heavy lifting regularly. He's clad 
sloppily, in a pair of dark blue canvas work pants and a light blue work 
shirt, dirty around the rolled up cuffs.
    This very young man approaches Davros, who appears rather official 
with his briefcase. "'Scuse me," he says with a thick Ossus accent, "Can you 
tell me if this's the Jedi place? A fellow told me it was, but his 
directions were confusing." 'Jedi place.' Right on, Willim, sound like a 
hillbilly.

Davros slows in his walk as the voice addresses him and the young man 
approaches, turning to angle back slightly towards where the teen is coming 
up the bridge, "Yeah, this is the Praxeum." He smiles widely and then nods 
his head, putting out a hand, "Davros Talge, you need any kind of help or 
anything?" What else would a kid come to the joint, it's not exactly a 
hopping party scene.

"Yeah." The kid admits, nodding his head. "Thank you, Mr. Talge. I'm Willim. 
I was looking for someone, a Jedi student here. Maybe you know her?" A 
hopeful look crosses the boy's face. "Her name is Moira Brennan." Now, let's 
hope the name strikes something, because Will couldn't even begin to give a 
description.

Davros hmms thoughtfully for a moment, "Yeah, I know Moira Brennan, really 
weird girl that one. She should be around here somewhere." A smile crosses 
his face and a chuckle escapes his lips, "Unless she's off cavorting with 
Tai somewhere. Willim was it? Let's see if we can't find someone who knows 
where she's at." With that he turns and walks a little deeper into the 
courtyard, looking around for a Knight who might be able to help.

A hooded figure enters the courtyard. This cloaked figure is surely no Jedi, 
her gait is much too awkward, and her step too heavy. SHe takes a seat on a 
bench on a grassy area, and lowers her hood. It's Merina. She looks around 
the courtyard, but recognizes no one. Really one padawan looks much like the 
other to her. She spies Davros and looks in his direction. He's not seen her 
yet. Wonder what he's doing here? Despite his offers of help, she is 
suspicious. She pulls the hood of her cloak back over her head.

Willim nods, following Davros. "Weird? Tai?" Moira was weird? Hmm. No one 
had ever informed Will that Moira was odd. Now he's feeling a bit nervous 
about meeting her. "Who's Tai?" Ooh...wait. Is that the boy she wrote about 
last time? Will tries to remember, tries to place a name with the letters. 
And of course, there are Knights all over the place. Willim wouldn't know a 
Knight from Adam, save the fact that some wear weird brown robes. Maybe 
those are Knights? Eh, better to let Davros pick out who to ask.

Davros nods his head, "Weird, well...not really weird, just." What's the 
word? "Special." he picks out a Knight and taps him on the shoulder, "Hey 
Sir Knight, do you know where the Padawan Moira Brennan is located?" After 
waiting for an answer he turns back to Willim, in Merina's haste to be 
unnoticed, she succeeds. "Tai's her...well they're" Oh boy, what ARE they, 
are Jedi even /allowed/ to have girlfriends? "Friends."

Merina is seated close enough to overhear without being seen..at least yet. 
She cathces Moira's name, and she is immediately interested

    The Knight, an Ithorian, stares at Davros before searching via the 
Force for Moira. Luckily, Knight Raal taught the girl several times and is 
familiar with her Force presence. "She is in the Training Tower, and guests 
are not allowed in. If it is important, I can call her out." Yeah, really 
important. Yet another fortunate circumstance- she's in the library and not 
in meditation, so she can be interrupted and called out.
    Meanwhile, Willim is talking to Davros. "Oh. I think she wrote me 
about him." Will says, thinking back to that last letter. Yeah. That name 
sounds familiar. But wait, the Knight is talking. "Important? No...I just 
wanted to visit her. Will she be out later?" The boy is obviously 
disappointed. He was only going to be on world a few days, and he really 
wanted to get a chance to meet his sister.

Kastanje wanders across the bridge with her now-familiar clank of metal, the 
woman started to get accustomed to it enough not to mince through every 
little step. Her gait has picked up again too, not nearly as slow as it was 
at one point. "Davros?" She calls, spotting the fellow with an Ithorian and 
a strang blonde fellow.

Merina looks up at the familiar clang. The voice clinches it, there isn't 
anyone else that it could possibly be. Meri's not yet lowered her hood, and 
she decides. to stay as she is for the moment. Part of that is her wish not 
to intrude, part of it something else she can't quite put her finger on.

Davros nods his head, "Thanks, It's up to the kid." Sure, Davros is only 
about 6 years older than him, but Willim gets dubbed 'the kid' already, 
"He's the one wanting to see her, I'll just catch her later it's no..." he 
turns slowly, looking around for a moment and then spotting Tanya's get-up, 
not having seen her in the armor before, "Tanya!" He shrugs the briefcase 
up, "Business trip to Coruscant, thought I'd take an extra few days and do 
some partying with you and the Jedi Twins." Awwww, now Moira and Tai have 
nicknames.

"Twins?" Blink, blink. Will isn't stupid, really. It's just that Coruscant 
is a big place and he's confused. The Knight, meanwhile, has nodded and 
wandered off. Will turns to also look into the glare. "Oh, my. She's 
certainly very bright." He comments, glancing to the very helpful Davros.

Merina chuckles to herself. 'twins indeed' she thinks. 'and not the only 
ones either'

"Twins?" Kastanje repeats, mouth quirking in amusement. "Nice one Davros. 
But somehow I don't think Tai would appreciate the whole sibling-thing 
implied there." She notes with a quick wink. Eyes flick to Will curiously, 
"I'm Kastanje," she greets, choosing to ignore the 'bright' comment. "And 
you are?"

She just ins't very good at all this subterfuge. Meri lowers the hood of her 
cloak, but does not call attention to herslef. She busies herself entering 
some info on a small datapad she's somehow aquired.

Davros nods his head, leaning over to 'the kid' and whispering, "You've got 
no idea." He tosses a lavacious wink Willim's way and makes sure Tanya 
notices it before grinning at Tanya, but letting the kid introduce himself 
otherwise.

"It's nice to meet you, Kastanje." Will says, trying to figure out who Tai 
might be related to. Poor kid, all this stuff is over his head. He knows who 
Tai -is-, that's been established- the guy from the letters. But who's the 
twin? "I'm Willim Brennan, but most people call me Will." He answers, giving 
up on figuring out the whole enigma.

Tai... Tai... Where is that mischiveious Jedi Padawan at? How much longer is 
he going to be able to be called Padawan anymore anyway... Ah, there he is, 
up on top of the Residence Towers meditating peacefully. Perhaps in a few 
moments someone will either notice the speck of odd up there or one of the 
knights will call for him to come down being as there's been a couple 
incidents now of Acolyte's trying to imitate him. The Tai fan club grows 
larger and larger.

Moira has a brother? *sigh* Merina is reminded of her own situation. Still, 
it is nice he's come to see his sister. Must be nice to have a normal 
sibling relationship. She turns to get a look at him, and can see a very 
small resemblnce. Something about the hair.

Kastanje perks at the introduction, "Brennan?" Curiosity lifts her eyebrows 
as she glances from Davros to Willim. "Moira's brother, then? Ah, that 
explains what you're doing here. Thought you might be a bit young for one of 
the new kids from Ossus." She offers a jesting grin at that implication that 
Will is a Jedi too. Dav, however, gets a bit of a look - the boys identity 
suddenly urging her to keep an eye on him. Protective instincts and all 
that. "He probably doesn't have an idea, you're right."

Davros quirks an eyebrow, "Good ears Kas, good ears." He seems more 
thoughtful than anything at the revelation that all this time he's been 
talking to a Brennan, and not just any Brennan, a MALE Brennan. Is he 
anything like Moira's personality or beliefs? What will he think of Tai? Oh 
the possibilities, grinning with his answer, "Anyway Tanya, nice new get-up, 
what's the tin can all about?"

A somewhat familiar, yet off presence floods Tai's meditations and he looks 
down to the ground below him, opening his eyes to glance. Hmm. Kas, Davros.. 
Merina... and someone he doesn't know but yet seems familiar of sorts. 
Shruging a bit, Tai takes a deep breath and just pushes off from the top of 
the Residence Towers, falling towards the ground. The collection of Acolytes 
below him look up and point, some giggling and laughing as the man begins 
the tumble from high in the air.

At the sound of the giggles and laughing, Merina looks up. Surely that is 
showing off, she thinks. It certainly doesnt seem very Jedi-like. Still, she 
supposes that at home in the praxeum the Jedi were more relaxed and prone to 
doing goofy things. She rises to watch his descent.

Willim nods to Kastanje. "Yeah, she's my older sister. I'm only here a few 
days and I really wanted to come meet her...but then, I didn't tell her I 
was coming so I can't be too upset." Yeah, smooth Will. You don't write, you 
don't call, and you expect her to stop training to come meet you? Really. 
"But I didn't know I was even coming until a week ago." He says, out of 
nowhere. Perhaps to justify his lack of foresight. Then something catches 
the corner of his eye and his jaw drops. "Now, what is that?"

Kastanje is used to Tai doing goofy things, much as she's used to people 
commenting on her gold-plated duty uniform. "That's Tai," Kas responds 
matter-of-factly, as if people jump off towers every day. "And if you're 
here for a few days, he'll likely be able to find Moira to say hello for 
you." Dav gets a theatrical 'long suffering' sigh. "Mandatory uniform for 
all Army officers," she responds simply. See? Not her choice to be so shiny.

Davros raises an eyebrow questioningly, "Mandatory uniform? That seems 
really dangerous." He nods solemnly, as if that explains everything. Go on, 
ask him, ask him why it's dangerous, you know you want to. "Yeah, Tai can be 
a showoff." Come on Tai, mess up the jump, mess up the jump, "But he's a 
great guy, if a little pushy with the morals at times." Jedi, what you gonna 
do?

Oh right. Like anyone else here has any other ideas on how he can get down? 
Tai doesn't flip or anything, just falls and keeps falling. As he approaches 
the ground, he levitates himself to a slow and then lands with only a mild 
thud at the ground. Standing up, the Acolytes gather and begin asking 
questions. Only then can it be seen that it was actually a training exercise 
of sorts, why else would this collection of Acolytes be watching him? Tai's 
hands gesture about as he explains things and what not.

Merina has not been noticed yet. This is a good thing. She raises her hood, 
and makes her way out of the praxeum. SHe remembers something she forgot to 
deal with..and it cannot wait.

"What's wrong with having morals?" Will asks absently. He's too busy 
watching Tai to really get into a debate about morality and the semantics of 
the word. Morals are simply beliefs you put faith in, an idea of how it's 
right to act. Even 'bad' people have morals or some sort. But of course 
Will's busy thinking about other things. 'So that's Tai.' Will thinks, and 
promptly gets nervous again. Gotta be nice to the guy Moi's always talking 
about, if Tai hates Will the chances of getting to meet Moira this time 
around are slim.

"Nothing's wrong with having morals, trust me," Kastanje assures Will 
firmly, and then turns to Davros almost reluctantly. Rising to the bait, it 
seems, but her curiosity won't take any other answer. "Er, why on earth is 
wearing armor when I work dangerous, Davros? I'd think it was safe."

Davros shakes his head at Will, "Nothing at all wrong with morals, 
attempting to bludgeon other people with them...that's a problem." Then he 
grins over at Tanya, "Kas, a can opener has to be the single most prevelant 
weapon on the open market." Delivered straight faced and completely 
seriously, "I mean, one slightly upset housewife could take out half a 
regiment." SCORE!

The Acolytes nod as one it seems then walk away from Tai, talking amongst 
themselves about what has happened. Turning, Tai begins to walk towards the 
crowd of his 'friends'. Of course, friends are Kas... since he doesn't know 
Will and Davros is a bad bad man. His steps carry him quickly yet at a 
steady pace, and he nods to those he passes by that greet him in return.

It's all so confusing. And since Will doesn't know Davros or Kastanje very 
well, he smiles in an awkward sort of way and shoves his hands in his 
pockets. His eyes, close in color to Moira's, scan the courtyard for his 
sister. Of course, he has no idea what she looks like, but it's something to 
keep his mind off of how out of place he feels. Yeah, Willim looks quite a 
bit like Moira, except that he's very male and very much larger.

Kastanje rolls her eyes at Davros' remark, and mutters something about 
'fluff'. "If by 'taking out half a regiment' you mean take out of their 
armor, then certainly. It's not like I'd be defeated if someone took all 
this armor off." The Major states simply, crossing her arms, completely 
oblivious to any implications about denuded Army officers running around she 
might've just made.

Davros nods his head at Tanya, grin widening even more, "I don't know, seems 
to me if half of a regiment were running around like that, the other half 
would need to arrest them." He chuckles a bit, "Seriously though, What color 
of gold trim do they call that? I've got a droid it would look just about 
perfect on...."

And at last, Tai arrives with the group of others. Looking about, he smiles 
towards Kas and Dav. "Hey Kas, Davros... I trust your both doing well? 
Davros... if you need some sunscreen let me know, Kas's armour throws off 
quite a bit of sunshine." Turning to Will, Tai nods a bit and extends a 
hand. "Hi, I'm Tai Jinn... have we met? You seem familiar to me."

Gulp. Come on, a big boy like Willim getting all nervous about meeting 
Moira's 'friend,' as Davros called him? Go on, he won't like you if you snub 
him, and he seems like a nice guy. Will makes his mind up quickly, to 
approve of Tai and shake. "I don't think so. I've never been here before. 
Unless you've been to the spaceport in Knossa? I'm Willim Brennan. I crew on 
the Splendor? But I used to work in the port there with my dad."

Kastanje looks highly indignant, and notes grumblingly to Davros: "If I had 
to slap you with metal gloves on, it would most likely hurt." And there's 
Tai with the shiny armor comments again, but he only gets a 'hmmph', as the 
Major doesn't want to interrupt introductions with Willim there.

Davros nods his head and watches Tanya head off to deal with business, the 
life of an upwardly mobile young person, and turns back to Willim with much 
more interest in his eye, "A crew men on the Splendor? I happen to be a 
mechanic, and fairly hotshot pilot." He grins, "What you do on there?"

Brennan... a Brennan... and it looks like Moira. Tai shakes the hand slowly 
and nods a bit smiling, getting nervous. This is Moira's brother... if he 
doesn't like Tai, then Tai could be in trouble, instant trouble. And this 
guy is much bigger than he is. Smiling still, awkwardly, Tai slowly 
withdraws his hand. "Nice to meet you... Are you related to Moira? I've only 
kissed her."

"Yeah, I'm her little bro...wait, you what?" Will's jaw drops for the second 
time today, and coincidentally the last time was because of Tai. "I thought 
you said they were friends?" Will asks, turning to look briefly at Davros. 
"She said you were really close, and she really liked you. But when Mr. 
Talge said 'friends' I thought..." Well, Will is friends with his Captain, 
but he's not about to kiss him. Luckily for Tai, the surprise is overriding 
any protective brotherly tendencies.

Davros nods his head at Will, "Well yeah, friends. I mean, you know...like 
/friends./" Davros is just eating this up, maybe he is a bad bad man after 
all, he winks at Will and makes some slightly exaggerated eyebrow gestures, 
meant to intone exactly how friendly they were, "They're pretty close after 
all, I mean, Tai can practically charm the pants of anyone, figuratively 
speaking of course." He grins at Tai, "That's how great a guy he is." Okay, 
who are we joking, maybe isn't the word for it. He IS a bad bad man. When 
he's good, he's very good, but when he's bad....he's better

Luckily for Tai? Come now, he would simply give Will a hug. Blushing 
slightly, Tai chuckles a bit and looks back and forth between Will and 
Davros. "I just said that out loud... didn't I." Yeah, he's mega embarrassed 
now. Looking back to Will, he sort of bows towards him. "I'm Tai by the way, 
I figured you already knew that... and yes, your Sister and I are ... 
close."

Davros nods his head and is about to speak when a comlink on him beeps, and 
he bows graciously and steps out to the side, turning with his back to the 
group to converse on the comlink, standing across the courtyard from Tanya 
who is still conversing on hers, and the juxtaposition makes an interesting 
visual moment, backs to each other, talking on comlinks, across a courtyard, 
whatever happened to those two? He turns around after a moment, and looks 
slightly upset, making a gesture he's got to deal with this and then 
beginning to head off.

Hmm. Well, Will doesn't like the idea of someone doing naughty things with 
his sister. But he's also said stupid things himself. So he's willing to cut 
Tai a little slack. He still looks somewhat bewildered, though. "Kastanje 
pointed you out to me, and she's written me about you. Speaking of Moira- 
have you seen her? Some Ithorian guy said she was in one of the tower things 
but that we couldn't go inside." And at this point, the boy looks vaguely 
sheepish. "I want to meet her, but I didn't tell her I was coming." Oh, and 
there goes Davros. Willim waves belatedly, then goes back to looking awkward 
as he tries to figure out what to say to this strange guy who probably 
doesn't even like him.

Tai nods and smiles at William. "Just a moment, I'll get her for you." His 
eyes slide shut and flutter slightly as he sends a message to wherever Moira 
might be, filling her in on what's going on. The nice thing about being 
'bonded' is finding her wherever she might be. "Well, I sent the message... 
we'll see how long it takes her to respond." Again, Tai smiles and tries to 
look at ease with him.

Rruka growls from up in his tree.

Now it's time for a classic Will statement. "So. Um, you're both Jedi. 
That's nice." Right, way to sound awkward talking about something you know 
zip about, Willim. Talk about your sister, it's something you have in common 
with Tai. Besides gender. "So, um, Moira. What's she like? Mr. Talge said 
she was weird, but I don't believe him." And what's that growling? Willim 
looks around trying to figure out what's going on.

Moira Brennan, of course, is in the library. Surprise, surprise. The girl 
blinks as she gets Tai's message, and sends a return. 'Coming.' And then she 
starts cleaning up her things.

Tai smiles as Rruka growls, acting as if nothing is out of the ordinary. 
"Moira is... well, my opinion is biased, but she is the nicest person I've 
ever met. She's alway's got a smile and something nice to say about people. 
I don't consider her weird in the least... at least no more than I am." 
Again, he smiles towards Willim, Tai's not that weird, of course he does 
jump off buildings. "She's a great person... and she's coming down, she was 
in the library." How does Tai know? Must be a Jedi thing.

Rruka deepens the growl and starts snarling visciously. He's still unseen 
though it appears that the sound MIGHT be coming from the tree

Ooh, book learnin'. Nice. Willim smiles, glad to hear someone say his sister 
is not insane. But it fades as he starts thinking about the growl again. "Do 
all the trees on Coruscant growl?" Will asks dryly. He knows it's not the 
tree, it's probably something in the tree. But Coruscant is devoid of native 
species, isn't it? Didn't the sprawling city kill them all off?

And Moira is in the elevator. She blinks as the button for the ground floor 
doesn't seem to want to work. Ah, there it goes. Going down...

"It's a Jedi trainee... I don't know what he's doing, nor do I want to 
know." Tai states it calmly, Rruka's business is Rruka's business, not 
Tai's. "So... uhm... What else would you like to know about Willim?" Yes 
Tai, way to be smooth. Why can't Moira show up, she's the social one, he's 
just the beefy battle-master guy who doesn't associate with others well.

"I just need you to point her out when you see her." The boy admits a bit 
sheepishly. Yep, Will doesn't really know what she looks like. "And Will's 
fine, my mother was the only one who called me Willim, and that was when she 
was mad at me." A tenative smile is offered Tai- hopefully the introduction 
hadn't been botched too badly. After all, they were still going to let him 
meet his sister. And speaking of sisters, here's Moira. She slips out of the 
Training Tower, toting a volume of something or other. Ah, botany, the new 
favorite subject. She makes her way for Tai's presence, guessing Willim will 
be whoever is standing with Tai.

The tree branches shudder and quake as the growling increases.

Turning, Tai gestures towards the approaching blond who's strikingly 
beautiful, at least to Tai anyway. "That's her." he states in a quiet voice 
with a smile. "And sure, I'll call you Will... everyone calls me Tai, but 
you know that I guess from Moira's letters..." Pausing, he looks at him a 
moment and raises an eyebrow. "What does she say about me anyway?"

So that's Moira. Will waves tenatively, and gets a cheery wave back from 
Moi. "Well, she's very much a girl." Will says, raising an eyebrow in a 'you 
know' sort of way. "I haven't gotten a letter from her in a while, but the 
last one was all about how nice you were to everyone. Oh. And she likes your 
eyes and the fact that you know what she's thinking." Will obviously thinks 
this is metaphorical. If he only knew. And finally, MOira arrives. "Hi!" She 
calls out, as she finally reaches the pair.

Tai sort of smiles and just stands between the pair and off to the side as 
they 'greet' each other, not wanting to get in the way but there anyway 
since he might as well be part of the family. "Moi, this is your brother." 
'Be glad you're not wearing the new outfit' is sent silently to her as Tai 
folds his arms and stands.

Moira raises an eyebrow over at Tai- is it because he's introducing her 
brother to her, or because of the comment about the bikini-thing? 'Get your 
plant?' Moira asks silently in a cheery tone of thought, and then smiles up 
at Will. "You've met Tai, I see? I hope you were getting along." Yeah. 
BEcause if not, Tai thinks he has problems. Moira would have some serious 
troubles ahead. Willim nods, and is about to say something when his 
chronometer catches his eye. "Oh, stars. I have to get back to the ship. Can 
I talk to you tomorrow morning?" Moira nods, replying, "Of course! Can I 
walk you there so I know where to go?" To which Will nods his agreement. Moi 
turns to look at Tai, waiting for a second to see if he has anything to say 
before she goes.

Tai nods slightly to Willim. "Have a good night, it was nice meeting you 
Will." To Moira, he smiles to her as well before speaking. "I'll see you 
later?" For what, most likely just time to talk together after she returns 
from seeing Will, stuff that happens off camera type goodness.

"Of course, Tai. I'll come find you when I get back." Moira replies with a 
grin, and turns to head off with her brother. They cross the bridge, and 
soon they're out of sight.
