Over here Tookie. It's okay. It is nothing bad but something very good if it is what I think it is.
She looks at Takeda waiting for him to answer.
She nods as he talks about watching with the Force. Yes, that was smart. Go on.
She then listens to the rest of his explanation. She nods to show she is both listening and understanding what he is saying. Yes, I felt that too. I was connected to this place, to those who were in it and the jungle surrounding it.
Cait nods and says A presence came in answer to the call through the Force. That is what the carvings mean it to call the one you felt.
She smiles when he describes how it looked. Yes, each one is unique to the place it is from. What you saw the spirit of this place. I believe it is one of the Vala or the "Powers". It is in essence one of the Spirits of Yavin IV. Most particularly of Woolamanders and all they are connected to here. The ancients called them Forest spirits. Which is a good as name as any.
No, it is not hostile it is benevolent spirit. It is the true protector of the Woolamanders. It is one of the guardians that has been asleep but now is awakening. The dance and song were meant to awaken it.
Your bones ache? That is not good. Do you want me to take a look at them?
I'm fine. What about you Tookie?

"Mesa okieday, mesa findies fruities." Tookie responds to the inquiry to his state of being and takes a bit of another purple fruit like he had before. "Whatsa all dis talkies of beeg gawdy-likens?"

He rubs his eyes before taking another drink, "My apologies again to the two of you, That caught me entirely off-guard. What you have so recently shown and taught me, it is like opening your eyes, and then opening them again. It is going to take some getting used to."
He goes to stand, and stumbles some, he sits back down until his head settles. "Tookie, did the ground jump before or was that just me?"
He grunts and rubs his forearms then looks over at Cait. "Actually that might be a good idea, I might be having a reaction to something from here in the jungle, I feel achy and dizzy, after putting me back together so recently, maybe I over did it coming out here so soon, though I did feel fine and well rested."

That's good Tookie. Big guardians? Oh the Forest Spirit. I guess you could call them big guardians.
To Takeda
No need to apologize Takeda, it would be startling to anyone. I have experienced something like this before so it didn't startle me quite as much as it did you. Give yourself time this all new to you.
The tremor you mean, I felt it too.
She comes to sit down next to Takeda.
Alright let me check. She opens herself up to the Force and does a quick of his bones and muscles. She blinks in surprise from what she finds. Ummm Takeda you didn't over do it. You had a growth spurt. I'm not sure by how much but it is definitely one. I think this happened when the spirit looked at you. It caused you to grow.

He lies back, letting his head rest on the leaf-litter covered stones. "Makes sense, I they feel sort of like what I remember when I was growing up... I know it hurt, but I guess as they say, pain diminishes with time."
After a few moments. "I may be reading this wrong, but It looks to be getting late, are these little guys going to accept us leaving? If not I suppose I can have Dweezel Do a supply drop for us if we need to stay until it is done."
He gets a couple of mild painkillers (aspirin) put of his pouch and gulps them down with some water. "Those should help"

Yeah, I have heard that happens though I have never experienced it myself. *chuckle* I never grew that much.
She looks around at the Woolamanders who are milling around some have drifted away. I think they may if they understand we will come back. *laughs* Thanks but I really don't want to spend the night here. I think we have done what needs to be done at least for now.
Feeling any better Takeda?

He walks over and looks at the altar again. "Until we can get a better idea of the sequence I think your right."
He rubs his legs again and looks up to the sky. "It is getting late, we might not make it back before dark unless we really move. If you would like I could get Dweezel, my droid to bring the ship over and drop a cable to us when we are far enough away from the Palace that the noise of the ship will not upset the Woolamander."

Yes, I think you are right about that. Though I think I would like to get some pictures of the carvings to study further.
Cait takes out her datapad and takes some pictures of the carvings. She puts her datapad away in her pocket.
When he mentions the time Cait looks up at the sky. Yeah, we don't have much time before it gets dark. And the Yavin jungle is not a place you want to be after dark.
Hmmm could your ship handle three? That might work.

Takeda pulls his com as he laughs "You do realize this is a ship that was originally built by my people. I think your going to have trouble not getting lost in the chair.
Dweezel, (a burst of droid buzz, it is not normal droid language) they just finished... Excellent! Fire it up I need you to come pick us up..."
He pulls out his datapad and hits a few buttons "Pick us up one kilometer WSW of here, (another droid buzz burst) yes Dweezel, I will leave it active so you can adjust as we go. You will probably be there before we will the way you fly that thing. "
He stows his com and pad and gathers up his things. "Is the statue coming back with us, or do you think the ground will open up and swallow us whole if we take it out of the courtyard?" He says with a grin referring to one of the holovid movies they discussed earlier .

*chuckles* Good point. I have trouble with regular chairs they are much too tall. I could probably sleep in yours. *winks*
She listens to his conversation with Dweezel as she talks to the Woolamander leader, Chel. She explains as best as she can with their limited vocabulary that she and the others are leaving but will be back. They seem sad that she is leaving but she has gotten across the idea that they will return.
I'm ready whenever you and Tookie are, Takeda.
She laughs. I hope not because I don't think I can leave this here. We shall see won't we? She walks toward the entrance of the Palace. The Woolamanders follow her at a distance not wanting her to leave.

Nick, Colin and Aine finally clear through the Jungle and arrive outside the Palace of the Woolamander. Nick's eyes widen at the size of it. "Wow, that is definately what I'd call a Palace." He unclips his lightsaber and holds it in his left hand but does not activate it. "Well, shall we all go inside?" He asks looking at his two companions.

Yeah. It's huge. Sure. And Nick I would put those away.
Cait told me she negoitated with the Woolamanders here to be able to enter. We don't want to antagonize them.
Aine looks a little nervous about not using weapons. Be careful Colin.
Colin walks to the entrance cautiously a couple of Woolamanders move to block his entrance when Colin begins to softly sing. The Woolamanders stop and look at him entranced recognizing the song from Cait's previous visit. They move out of the way and let them enter the Palace.

Nick nods his head hearing Colin and places his lightsaber back on his belt and quietly watches as Colin begins to move into the palace as he starts to sing. He listens to the song and feels a hauntingly yet beautiful tone coming from it.
Curious, he follow Colin into the Temple signaling Aine to follow them. As he moves in, he keeps an eye on the Woolamanders that have begun to appear around them.

Colin enters the main square of the palace and sees Cait with a sense of relief. The Woolmanders give away before him allowing and the others to enter. There seems to be a sense of excitement coming from the small creatures.
Aine gives Colin an odd look when he starts to sing she recognizes the words as an ancient form of Sidhe. When the Woolmanders move out of the way she follows Colin and looks around at the massive structure. This thing was ancient and oddly enough it gave her a sense of being home on Danaan. “That seems to have worked. What is this place? And why does it feel like a Danaan?”
Colin shrugs. “I have no idea. But I get that impression too. Let’s talk to Cait and see find out what is going on.” He talks over to where is sister is. “Hey, Cait. What’s up?”
