Collan looked around as he hooked the saberstaff back on the carrying rig. He'd packed several boxes of materials, a good portion of which could not be plausibly explained as not-Jedi-related. There was other materials in there as well which would allow for up to 8 sabers to be made. Spare partsand training materials were always needed. Plus all the manuals. He studiously avoided any of Maris's things though and made sure she had enough for her sabers.
"Yeah. Almost," Collan replied after a quick visual inventory, "I suspect Maris will be along shortly. Just as an FYI, she was apprenticed to a Shadow, who vanished when she was 5. She spent most of the last 17 years on her own, until Master Shaak Ti found her. Then Shaak Ti was murdered too. She's tough, smart, and a little troubled."
Collan paused, "I gave her two of the crystals for her to build some sabers. She's taken a shine to Keshani...sees a lot of herself in the kid. I don't know where either are going but they'll be good for each other. I'm going to miss them both if they go their own way," especially Maris he thought to himself, but Collan was quite sure why he liked Maris as he did.
