WE BLAME THE TICK TOCK, THAT TICKS TO OUR SONG

Tena was more right than she knew.  The young Andean mountain cat was not sure what to do now that attempts to track down his twin had gone awry.  She'd been amongst these lands... These groups but... Perhaps she had felt called somewhere else.  Perhaps something had drawn her away.  Someone.  Lavi knew she loved one deeply and if he was gone too, no doubt she'd gone with him.  For that reason, the Jedi truly did not mind being left behind so much.  She had not known he was out here, not when their bond had been cut by distance and... She'd cut herself from the Force... He was not sure why, but he understood it was the reason he no longer felt their connection.  Unfortunate, now that he did not know where she was, but... Lavi could not dwell on it forever.

So he devoted his time and attention to another.  Another who'd known his sister.  Another who he'd joined rather impulsively on a trip away from their mutual home and, though they were not returning, had decided to stay with on the journey back to these lands.  Lavi found himself happy to be away from the deserts of her home and relaxed as they found themselves amidst shallow mountains.  With the calm radiance of someone at peace with himself, Lavi followed Tena's curious gaze across the place before them.  How long, he wondered, would it take for her to find her place in this world?  It was like she could not settle in, no matter where she found herself.  She was restless.  She was sad.  She was angry.  A sandstorm waiting to unleash itself.

Lavi supposed he had to be the calm to the storm.  He did not mind.  More than once, he had to spend time reasoning with her.  Careful words.  Sympathetic heart.  He could not leave her when he was certain she'd get herself into trouble without him.  Not that Lavi ended up involved in quite a bit of trouble on his own.  Even more - not that'd admit to it - when he had a partner in crime.  Someone to lure him into the depths of matters outside of his business.  Into the eye of the storm.

His lips quirked into an amused smile as he took a seat beside the watchful feline.  This place was lovely.  Hopefully a nice group resided here.
