A week after Marta and Jahal left to go back home, Endria, Marta?s mother came for a visit. Qui-Gon was up early on the day of her arrival, and was waiting at the transport station when her flight came in from Argus III.

Taller than most, Qui-Gon was able to see over the crowd to watch for Endria among the disembarking passengers. Unfortunately, she was one of the last passengers off the transport, and he was just starting to worry that she?d missed her flight, when her beautiful face appeared in the doorway.

Wearing a big smile, Qui-Gon lifted his hand above his head, and waved to get her attention. Spotting him in the waiting crowd, Endria returned his wave and squeezed through the masses of sentient beings to get to him.

Up to this point, Qui-Gon hadn?t really considered how he was going to greet his former lover. He was debating as to whether a handshake, a kiss on the cheek, or a warm hug would be appropriate. But, Endria took care of that for him when she threw her arms around his neck and drew him into passionate kiss.

Ever the Jedi Master, it only took Qui-Gon a moment to respond in kind, and the visit was off to a soaring start. Taking her bags for her, Qui-Gon escorted her through the crowd to the waiting transport outside.

?Where are you staying, Endria?? he asked as they climbed inside.

?Why, with you, of course,? she answered, not the least bit embarrassed.

Qui-Gon smiled and directed the driver to take them back to the Jedi Temple.

Once inside his apartment, Qui-Gon set Endria?s bags down in the common area while she scanned the room. Nodding her approval of the decor, she finally turned to him. ?Now, which bedroom is yours??

Once again following her lead, he showed her to his room, and deposited her bags next to the dresser so she could unpack. ?I?ll clear out a couple of drawers for you later,? he said, still wearing the smile that had been on his face since he?d first seen her earlier in the day.

Endria took off her wrap and laid it on the bed. Looking up, she gave him a smile of her own. She wasn?t one to do anything halfway. It was one of the things Qui-Gon had always loved about her. She was at home anywhere, and she made the most of any situation.

Flopping back on the bed, Endria let out a contented sigh. ?Gods, I love big beds, don?t you, darling??

?That?s why I have one,? he said, crawling onto the bed beside her.

?Now, now, Qui,? she scolded, ?we can?t be falling into bed together within five minutes of coming in the door. What would Obi-Wan think??

?Obi-Wan,? he responded, while running his index finger lightly down the side of her face and neck, ?is in classes all afternoon. He won?t be back for hours.?

?Oh, my,? she whispered as he began to lightly nibble her earlobe.

?Master!? called Obi-Wan, as he came home from his afternoon classes.

?He?s not here right now, Obi-Wan,? called a female voice from the kitchen.

Smelling something wonderful, Obi-Wan followed his nose to the kitchen and smiled. Endria was just pulling homemade muffins out of the oven.

?Hello, Endria!? he smiled, eyeing the muffins hungrily.

?You can?t fool me, Obi-Wan,? she teased, ?you?re not happy to see me, you?re happy to see my muffins.?

?You got me,? he joked. ?Seriously, it is good to see you again. Master?s been jumping out of
