  Jocastaâs hand gently rested against her chin, listening to Kanan as he explained her theory in how to exploit their lack of presence in the force, the void that they left. It would be difficult, but Kanan had overcome so much, that if anyone could do it it would be him. âI have faith that you can be able to master this theory of herâs. I will search the archives that we have to see if there is anything I can find to help you with this endeavor.â She let out a small sigh, if she had access to her old archives, there were so many more books that would have helped Kanan, that she simply no longer had access to. Though when she heard him speak next, she rose an eyebrow.Â
âBendu? A creature named the Bendu? Interesting, the symbol of the Galatic Republic was derived from a religion known as Bendu. Very few texts related to the Bendu Monks survived though, and some believed they were one of the founding basis of the Jeâdaii Order, and I once read an older tome, that spoke of the center of Ashla, and Bogan being known as Bendu, which the monks took that as their name, considering they were non-confrontational and pacifists. I wonder if the Bendu Monks, had anything to do with this Bendu creature. Oh, I am quite envious of you, Kanan to have met such a creature.âÂ
the vote of confidence was appreciated, more needed than what kanan could properly express with his own words, swallowing down whatever bits of nerves remained and giving a nod of his head in response. they would figure it out because they needed to. because eh could not imagine another way forward through this mess yet, and he was not willing to give up on it. if it meant going back to atollon, or to... somewhere, anywhere where heâd be able to figure it out, then he would do exactly that. whatever he could contribute to this, he would. there were other roles, roles beyond fighting, but accepting that felt akin to giving up.
âi...â in a rare feat, kanan found himself to be rather speechless at all the information that master nu knew. he wished that he had brought it up sooner, for a moment, though he had not seen any reason to before. he didnât know if bendu was even still there. he swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry, as he collected his own thoughts on the matter. âwell, it fits. some of it, at least. he was powerful but... ambivalent to the problems of the universe. heâd rather destroy both sides of a battle than take a side.â maybe she could find the wisdom in that, but he could not.
