The streams are now crossed

It would be easy to miss Yoda's presence. He is, after all, only 0.6 meters tall. People have to look down to spot him.

Of course, to anyone who does look down, he's rather unique looking. Small. Green. Wrinkly. And, for some reason, dressed in the sort of sailor suit a toddler might have worn in the 1920s. Zelien had been hard on clothing, and for someone his size, replacements were... ecclectic.

This wasn't the swamp. After the business in Zelien, Yoda was expecting to finally be back in the swamp and spending a few years contemplating everything.

It seemed the Force had other ideas though. Except... something is wrong here. He stumbles slightly as he steps forward. "Quiet here, the Force is."

And without that connection to the Force, he really remembers that he is 881 years old. And that's hard on any body.

He gave him a studious look, hand over his mouth thoughtfully. "No... I wouldn't say you look like a kappa or an elf. Or a troll." Kale paused. "At least where I'm from, once again."

From a pocket he pulled out his cell phone and thumbed through it a little bit. "This is a goblin here."

The little creature - goblin - is about the size of a hedgehog and is sitting on a little girl's shoulder; the girl has the same eye and hair color as Kale does. They're both wearing sparkly pink ribbons and eating candy.

"And this is Sora's uncle," Kale added, showing a second picture with a wizened raisin looking thing, blue skinned, large rounded ears with what is probably hair hair sticking out of them. It has large golden eyes and similar long fingers. "So, you kinda look like that."

"Met them I have not. But been compared to them I have." People seemed to enjoy guessing his species. He didn't really understand why. It was hardly the most interesting thing about him.

He's the first person to actually show pictures though. So he examined them carefully. "See the resemblance I can."

As magic isn't hidden in Kale's world and his cousin is best friends with one, he had no reason not to have pictures on his phone. The one of the uncle was taken by Ceilidh who enjoys "borrowing" people's phones to take pictures. (She's not allowed to have one yet).

"Yeah," Kale said. "You wouldn't be out of place in their lands. So, if you're not a goblin, may I ask what are you?"

"Of little matter, my species is. With the Jedi, my loyalties lie." Even when the Jedi were two people and a pair of newborns. His loyalty lay with their ghosts. Perhaps even stronger, now that there was so little left. If he wasn't loyal, who would be?

[engineermage]

That is always an interesting question. If someone wasn't loyal then who would be?

"Well, I know that sort of feeling. Of what I am not mattering, just the loyalties.

Because he spends a great deal of time tugged between being a McCallum and a Daly, but either case, fortunately, their loyalties lie with protecting Eire. They just have different methods of going about it.

Very different.

"Over eight hundred years have I been with the Jedi." And he still is. Whatever was left, he was with them. "More important than that, nothing could be."

[engineermage]

And that earns an impressed whistle. Sure, Kale knows a few beings older than eight hundred years - quite a bit older - but still, eight hundred is pretty impressive.

"I imagine if you've stuck around for them that long, they must be. Who are they?"
