the vaulted halls of the jedi temple make announcing his presence so much easier : his steps echo and reverb through the marble architecture, the high ceiling and towering pillars making him seem all so small in comparison. there’s a hush that’s made its home here - not tense, as though one misstep would descend upon him a gaggle of trainers to scold and belittle, like kamino, but one of reverence and peaceful warm feelings. the walls are a muted tone, so unlike the harsh white sterility of cody’s home.
in his full kit, battle - scarred helmet tucked under his arm, this soldier feels all the more out of place.
it’s sheer luck cody’s managed to find the main hallway at all : the temple is full of little winding pathways to steer him off - target, young cadets ( padawans? ) who’ve not yet experienced war traversing through the halls with a glimmer in their eyes. obi - wan had commed him earlier to arrange a meeting with the council detailing the results of their latest campaign, and now he’s going to be late because his general hadn’t given him a map --
“excuse me -- sir?’ but cody is a big kid now, and he’s not above asking for directions when he knows he’s lost. “i’m looking for the jedi council chambers. where are they?”
