Happenstance by the Fountain
Serah still felt awkward around the Enclave, although the feeling was slowly dissipating. Being addressed as Padawan was still weird, especially as she had not sought out anyone to train her. At least, she had been able to find ways to keep busy and make herself useful, thus feeling like she was earning her keep and not being a parasite. Her adoptive family had always valued hard work, though not at the expense of rest. Helping with some mechanical repairs had helped her ease into her new life.
Truth was that as much as she had trusted that Jedi back on Uyter, she still was uncertain, and a bit curious, as to how things would unfold on Ossus. She was still learning her way around the Enclave, and she didn't necessarily feel any closer to reunite with her twin sister. Yet her spirits were alright, and the challenges that navigating a new environment required, were met head on for the most part. She was happy that her family had ingrained in her how to ask questions without feeling embarrassed.
She had been tempted to go to the library on several occasions; but given her first experience with the Jedi older tech that wasn't friendly to vision-impaired individuals like her, she had postponed it so far.
That meant that when she had free time on her hands, she was more likely to explore the Enclave, especially after having spent hours sitting while fixing something.
The teenager had just gone back to her quarters to clean up and put on some fresh clothes before heading out for the rest of the day. It was late afternoon by the time she made it back outside. The breeze was picking up a little bit and she smiled, remembering home for a moment.
The half-Miraluka hummed to herself as she followed the usual path taking her towards a favorite fountain of hers. She missed having actual lakes in the immediate area, though she had heard rivers and lakes existed on this planet too. So the quiet drip of the fountain's water soothed her.
As she neared her first stop of her leisure trail, she stopped on her tracks, sensing someone else's presence, no one she was familiar with. While her gifts were still raw, her magical sense so to speak, as she used to call it as a child, made her very attuned to life around her.
