"Yes, I have," Qui-Gon answered. "She is definitely hungry."
0-Melie and V-Nen broke into relieved smiles.
"0-Yani can feed her," O-Rina suggested. "That way we can all talk."
"0-Yani is the child caregiver for this dwelling quad," V-Haad explained to the Jedi. "There is one for each quad in each dwelling circle so that parents may still work or have time for themselves. Our child caregivers are the wisest and best among us."
0-Melie took the baby from Qui-Gon's arms. She disappeared into the other room.
With only a quick glance at Adi, Qui-Gon knew that his fellow Jedi Master had also picked up what he had: O-Lana was Force-sensitive. But how deep the Force ran was something they needed more time to discover.
"Let us sit down," Adi suggested. "While the child is feeding, we can explain more about why we have come so far to see her."
0-Melie and V-Nen sat down on a cushioned bench opposite from the Jedi.
V-Haad sat on one side of them, O-Rina sat on the other. As though they are guarding them, Qui-Gon thought.
"If O-Lana is strong in the Force, her powers will become more apparent as she grows," Qui-Gon began. "These powers should be nurtured and directed.
When they are not, the child can become confused and frightened."
V-Nen and 0-Melie leaned closer, their eyes on the Jedi.
"No one is frightened on Kegan," O-Rina said firmly.
"The General Good is strong. O-Lana will be supported by us all,"
V-Haad added.
Adi spoke up. "The Temple on Coruscant is a place where a Force-sensitive child can learn not only how to control her gift, but how to let it guide her and connect her to all things."
