No sooner had he spoken his words, felt each emotion that came with them, did she herself meet them with the full gravity of her own emotion. While her approach had been merely intended to draw attention to a simple fact, he proceeded to turn it into something far more in depth than she had meant it to be. She was, at first, taken aback but the notion and for but a few moments reeling in her attempt to comprehend everything he had said. Was this man so intent on saving her father that he would end that life to do so? And while she understood his feelings on her father's friendship and how easily one could misjudge how fleeting such a thing could be, she couldn't quite compare it to any experience of her own; her own few and far between. Her aunt had taught her much, and the Force much more but she was well aware that there were some things that the universe simply could not teach her. And one of those things was understanding Adieumus Matango.
She had saved his life on Dantooine when her, then sensible, father brought the man to him. She had gone above and beyond her very intentions as an individual in the galaxy and brought this man back from the brink of death. And while he was thanking her for it, and making it clear that she had done just that, she found it difficult to push past her own heavy heart to fully comprehend the gratitude and receive it with a returned gesture of good favor. Perhaps had she had time to process, time to fully understand why her father was making the choices he was making, but even then she felt she would fall short merely on the principle of the matter. At the very least she attempted to pull herself together as she noticed the tears that had crossed his cheeks. She had never expected him to cry, but fully expected to keep her own feelings hidden. Which made drawing upon his final remark easier than she had anticipated. A remark that had him passing a word by her that she could only think of as nothing short of an attempt to be moderately relaxed in a tense situation.”I only did what the Force intended me to do.” She explained as he began to move away from her and felt her feet follow him while her mind still continued to catch up. He intended her to follow him, but she knew that the food was nothing more than an incentive. She was used to going without food for quite some time. "Even my father knew that, though now he leaves me far more confused than I have ever been." She breathed through a sigh as she continued to follow him, sure that he was leading her into the villa where they could find something for him to eat. At the very least she could use a place to breathe that was not filled with chaos and animosity. While it was easy to process in the absence of the Force, she was sure, the Force was allowing her no respite as she stood amidst that space's turmoil."The man I knew- My father- Never hated someone as much as he hates you." She was unaware that she was absently plying information from Matango, but at the very least she was tenacious. "Why?"
"That's a good question. I honestly don't know." He shrugged, and continued. "Maybe it's because I never lost faith in the fact that there was still good in him. Perhaps its the fact that no matter how hard he tried, or how powerful he got, I always seem to be a step ahead of him." Adi was still soaking wet. He pulled the dripping t-shirt up over his head, and off, wringing it out as he walked. "I know if it came down to it, his abilities are far superior. He's stronger in every way than I am. To be honest? I should be dead by his hand at least three or four times...maybe more. Somehow, though, I'm able to pull off the impossible, with the aid of the force." He flung the shirt over his shoulder when he had it wrung out to his satisfaction. He shook his head, and rubbed his temples.
"I was a Gahd's damned fool. Your father is beyond redemption. He always has been. I was just too blinded by my lightside to recognize it....and I followed the path of what I thought was right.
Some people just cant be helped."
They had arrived at the Villa by this point, and Adi opened the door for I'vaya. "After you." The kitchen would be straight through the front room, and a sharp left turn. It was only a few more steps away, and *as long as she followed*, Matango found his way there, and immediately opened the refrigerator. Someone had fortunately brought in some of the foodstuffs from the Son, and he grabbed a loaf of bread, and some kind of sliced meat. He wasn't sure, but he thought it was roast bantha. After gathering up a few more things to top the sandwiches with, he kicked the door of the fridge shut, and plopped the stuff down on the counter.
"I know that you are in pain right now, I'vaya." He looked her in the eyes, and sighed. "He's pretty much all you've known, isn't he?" Adieumus pulled a bread knife from the drawer, and a loaf of bread from its wrapper. Carefully slicing it to a perfect thickness, he hacked off four large slices. Picking up a jar of some kind of sandwich spread, he opened the jar and smelled it. Making a face like 'Not bad', he started spreading it on two of the slices. As he finished up with that, he pointed at her two slices of bread, as if to ask 'Want some too?' |

"Huh...that happened..."*Atton just sighed. They didn't need his help after all, but that was just fine. It had just occurred to him that he hadn't had a decent meal, a stiff drink or a good night's rest in some time. Whatever the hell was going on could probably wait for a little while, right?
Didn't matter. Atton knew what he needed.*"You hungry? I'm hungry. Let's get food." *Without waiting for Thea's reply, Atton turned and started back for the villa. Had to be food there. And hopefully booze of some kind. Ale or beer would be great, but anything would suffice.
Atton entered the kitchen(hopefully with Thea tagging along). He spotted Adi with a woman he didn't recognize. Well that was just perfect. More strangers. He didn't say anything, sensing that the two were in the middle of a discussion. Instead, he immediately began to look for something to sate his hunger...*

Stay Boy? What was he, a mutt? He grimaced at the order from the Zabrak walking down the hallway, but obeyed anyway. He watched as Loki nudged a woman into that room, directing her to visit Farris. Then Loki confronted him about not being a doctor. He we go...
He listened to Loki talk about how Dominic squared off against the Knight, and how only Mandolorians and Sith Agents could do something like that. Then he should off his Mandolorian tattoo, confirming that he himself was a Mando. While he did this, Dominic would cross his arms and lean against the wall, raising his eyebrow. It was to make him look like what the Zabrak was saying was of no consequence and he was over-thinking things, but in reality, gears were turning and facts were being brought to his mind, everything he knew and everything he knew could be interpreted to come together and quickly craft some sort of story.
"Loki, I'm sure there are many people out there in the galaxy that could take on Force Users besides Agents of Sith and Mandolorians. Like me. See, I analyze people and their behaviors, and I have a bit of a military background. Kadish was the Knight that I ended up killing, and that was because of the history me and him had during the operational period of the lab. Of all the Knights that were real pains in the neck to me, He was the worst. When I was trying to escort Thea out of the building due to the then Doctor Noble's request, we came across one another, and he thought that then was a perfect time to off me, and not be held accountable for killing a scientist for the very organization he was a Knight of.
"During my time there, I had enough time to analyze him a bit and know what to do in a confrontation against him. It's a mindset that doesn't really leave you once it's been engraved. I'm not anyone terrible, or wish you harm. If I did or was, I would have taken the Dagger from your room rather than just look at it and turn it around. I just want to get to the nearest town soon to get some supplies as soon as possible."
At that, he would ask Loki what room was available to sleep in. He knew about the Sith's ability to detect lies. It was virtually impossible to lie to the face of a Dark Sider. That was why nothing that he had said was even close to a lie. It was all truth. All that mattered was how you interpreted it.

Rage? You are Loki. Loki is who you are. One emotion doesn't describe you.
*She closed her eyes a moment. There were many that came to mind when she thought of Loki. She had looked up to him. To her mother. TO alot of people. She had a flash of the storm inside her when she thought Loki had died, she wanted to kill Adi. She was trying to when others stopped her. She shakes her head. She opened her eyes as she looked up at him.*
Good and Evil is far different then Right and Wrong. Te'oma. Was it right when a Jedi stuck a saber through the back of his Beskar'gam? To deny a Vode an honourable warriors death? Good people can do wrong things, just as easily as Evil people can do the right thing. Honour is what is important to me.
*She thought on Te'oma, how much she had watched her step-sister cry when their mother told them about it. She had felt so helpless, unable to help her sister. Then she remembered the words spoked of her hatred for Jedi. The thought that if she'd hated them as much as Te'oma she would stop crying. Then she thought that she'd been flying with at least one jedi.. What would Te'oma even think of her now. But she couldn't just do what that Jedi had done to Te'oma. She frowns a moment, thinking about what she'd said, it sounded like she should add something else. But suddenly Loki was nudging her to the door to go in where Farris was. Had she said something wrong? Why so quickly to discard her again. She sighs deeply, and her eyes fell on Farris. A lump in her throught as he spoke to her, and she felt like she were about 10 years younger with her hand in a cookiee jar.*
I..I... Um.. Well.. I maybe tore some stitches... I jumped... in front of a very large angry Zabrak.. to save the Pirate..
*She also noticed Anna, it was the closest she'd been to the Seer since they got back to Naboo. She didn't even know what to say to her. What does one say to a Seer? How do you have a conversation with someone who sees things before you do. How do you talk to someone who already had the conversation? Is that even how it worked? Or Did she only see the things she wanted to see. It was so confusing!*

…When the dust had cleared for the moment the sphere retreated inward toward a pendant i wore that carried Puck’s crystal. surprisingly I didn’t feel like i was going to collapse unlike my last usage of this joint connection.“ That was a good timing Puck… puck… time to wake up.”
I pulled the plush toward me, checking the range of motion of any and all. but despite the doll being animated just a moment prior, the doll had reverted to just that. in frustration i removed the pendant and threw it at the pillow.“ E’yame, where is your Commlink. i need to make a call.” Halfway through that thought my eyes lay upon a modified Hush-98… which brushing back thoughts reminded that several years ago the other me had upgraded for her for a birthday gift. realizing and fixing two problems with one motion I snatched a small processor chip thus integrating the commlink into the private system that Jim and I had used. since i didn’t know how to make a call on this particular system, i activated the ping function and waited.:: Attention unidentified comms unit, Identify or your ping will be used to …:: :: JM-528 cool your jets. It’s me:: :: Kid… are you ok? there was a chill… and it seems this peaceful villa is the sight of some massive engagement.:: :: yeah… thanks to a fusion with Puck we have 3 safe signs… but puck has retreated.::
Little did i know that strands of light began to emit strands of light, and the beams began to weave themselves into the an astral form of the baby tiger that was far more recognizable than the fox that lay near.:: well if you are still strong then perhaps the fusion effort relied more on Puck’s strength this time. on my end, this engagement has drawn me toward our hosts. i have visual on two of them, one of them i believe is Master Matango.:: :: get in range and if you can render aid… do so.:: :: Confirmed. JM out::
With that i walked over to the bed and flopped down face first into the duvet. in an exasperated voice i muttered
“ i do hope training with your father is worth all of this.”
"Uh, uncle Monte....."
He seemed to ignore her and continue to talk to someone.
"Uncle Monte..."
Nothing, it was like she didn't exist at this moment.
"UNCLE MONTE!"
Finally he ended the call and fell onto her bed, talking about her father.
"It will be worth it, but um, there is something you should see."
She pointed to the baby tiger and looked at him, seeing Zee mounting onto the doll, like he was going to try to ride it.

Farris' face became impossibly stern, so much so, that Sinina would know he wasn't really angry with her. But when she explained what she had done, and why she had done it, his ploy broke completely and even his facial structure stretched into a shocked expression. You're a strange one. I'll give you that.
He said, kneeling down and giving her knee a critical eye before frowning. You know what- are you in a lot of pain? Because I'm going to go grab a jedi and see if they can just put the finishing touches on this.
Standing to his feet the Polydroxol looked down at Sinina with a reassuring smile. Then you can jump in front of all the angry Zabraks you want. I'll be right back.
He gave a quick glance to Anna, then walked out of the door. Just beyond, he saw Loki looking very hard at Dominic and for a moment, Farris just peered at them.
If you give me more work to do- I'm charging you both with the medical bill. Besides- He's as much of a doctor as I am.
He said as if in after thought. With a grim smile, the Polydroxol went in search of Raven Alora, hoping she had some experience with force healing. Normally he'd go to Thea- but....he wasn't sure if she wanted to ever see him again.
Anna shifted in the bed and pushed herself up again to look at Sinina after Farris left. She looked very tired, but she also looked interested in what was going on around her. Frowning apologetically, she sighed slightly. Sorry for...you know, punching you in the knee, and things.
She felt strange. All these people in this villa had literally risked their lives to free her, and only two of them really, truly knew her. It didn't make sense, why they would go to such lengths to rescue someone they didn't know- someone who was openly attacking them the entire time. She could probably understand if it was a group of Jedi- but only two of these people claimed that role. Everyone else? What did they have to gain for something like this mission?
And she had been so terrible. She remembered everything. And even though she was powerless to stop it- it didn't make her feel any less guilty for the pain and suffering this mission had caused everyone.

Loki sighed deeply at Dom's evasiveness. It wasn't exactly lie's as far as Loki could sense but Loki felt it wasn't the whole truth either, regardless that Dom successfully dispatched a knight of Ren and helped them. It was also strange that the Lab had self destructed, there hadn't been a self destruct sequence activated, Loki decided to let the wild card go for now. "Tomorrow, we leave for Theed at Dawn, you are welcome to join us." Loki said with a smile ignoring Dom's story totally. Loki wanted to keep an eye on the man, if he was a Mando or a Sith Agent he wasn't on their side, and that was enough to watch him, though to be fair he wasn't on the first order's either. Loki pointed to the room down the hall. "That one is empty, he said simply." With a wave he walked into the room with Farris and Anna letting the Knight killer go about his business, he shut the door behind him and looked at Farris with a shrug, then at Anna, and lastly at Sin. "Sin, I'm sorry I wanted you to get treatment, I am very confused right now, please forgive me." Loki said as he waited for Dom to depart, and his life force to move away, he wanted to chat with Farris about the auspicious Doctor Mitchell. |

It didn't take long for Raven to run into the searching Polydroxol. For a moment, she just looked at him and how unfamiliar he really was to her. She'd have to take the time to get to know him better. For now though, he seemed anxious. What can I help you with Doctor?
She asked curiously. And he told her, as kindly as his tense mind would allow. With a nod- the Jedi began to follow him back to what was now Anna's room, where Sinina would also be waiting for their attention.

The trip was short, and within a few moments, they were back at Anna's room. Farris opened the door for Raven- and, now, Loki who had chosen to let Dominic go on his way. What a strange creature. Maybe thee Zabrak suffered from some form of bipolarity. Regardless, he looked down at Raven and handed her a small holo devise. This is the surface bone structure of Sinina's knee- or how it should be. You don't need a medical degree to mend that. I know. I've seen you guys do much more complex things. Really, I should have asked for your help in the beginning.
Giving Raven a trusting smile, he nodded toward Sinina. Look, I found you a tiny Jedi.
He then looked over to Loki, leaving Raven to tend to the Echani. With a tilted expression the Polydroxol gave Loki a critical look.
Don't feel too bad about Anna's brush with death today. Ironically, that shock was exactly what I needed to realign her neuro receptors. She can't move very well yet- but she'll be walking around very soon.
He gave the Seer an encouraging smile before waiting on the Zabrak's words. Obviously he had something important to talk to him about...or maybe he was just here for Anna. What ever the case- the room had gotten very crowded very quickly.
Loki!
Anna exclaimed, gently. She looked around at the new comers with wide eyes. Master Alora!.... Hi

Thea shrugged and followed Atton into the villa. Her stomach growled and she realized that she hadn't eaten anything all day. As they made their way into the kitchen, Thea noticed Adi with I`vaya. She wondered what the connection was there. She made her way to the fridge and spotted nothing inside. "Great, what are we going to eat?" She turned around and spotted the bantha meat on the counter. Grabbing some of that, she managed to find some plates, all the while, trying to give Adi and I`vaya their space. After grabbing some bread, she began to slice it and throw a sandwich together. "Where do you want to go to eat?" "Eh, I dunno. There's probably an empty room around here somewhere. Let's go find a spot." *Putting his sandwich on a plate, he waited for Thea to do the same before leading her to another room and sitting down.*"Guess this room is as good as any. Let's eat." |

Strange..? How so..?
*She frowned as she goes to sit as he had asked, she didn't feel a lot of pain, like she'd pulled his stitches out, so she had bled some there, and the bleeding from her forehead had stopped bleeding. She really looked a mess.*
I don't feel alot of pain.. my knee feels tight and not as agile as i want to be... and i pulled some stitches out.. and my head stopped hurting..
*She nods as Farris informed him of her of what he was going to do. The sound of Anna shifting caught her attention, then she spoke to her, Sinina frowns at her for a moment and shakes her head. Her wet silver hair barely moved matted to her.*
No... I was too slow. I should have been faster. I got distracted. I messed up. An amateur mistake. My mother would have been ashamed.
*She closed her eyes. She had known that many had respected how well she has done. But she couldn't help but be self conscious. She was one of the youngest, maybe even the youngest. She had everything to prove. She looked up, broken from her thoughts as Loki entered. She opened her eyes again and looked up at him.*
That's fine. Just thought you were gonna finish talking first.

Theed, tomorrow. Alright then. So they were at least close to Theed. Good thing too, The Program didn't have spots to communicate in just everywhere. Very specific places had been chosen to act as temporary safe houses and a way to check in to HQ. The one in Theed he had been too a few times before. He followed Loki's gesture and found the empty room to house himself for the night.
As he settled in, checked the room thoroughly for anything malicious and potential weapons, he sat down on the bed, placing his head in his hands and releasing a deep sigh of relief. So much had happened in the last few hours, so many close calls to death. He wasn't looking forward to debriefing. He had succeeded in the main part of his mission, but the important part about 'No Survivors'? Total failure. He had never accomplished anything but total elimination of all witnesses before. But this group... They karked everything up. That's why he thought that maybe... It would be best to keep an eye on them. They were a group of very powerful dark force users and one tiny Jedi, and the return of Darth Aion would at least be something to bargain with. These people needed to be watched, made sure they didn't get in the way of the Program.
With that thought he lifted his head, and was about to turn in for the night, when he noticed his hands. Shaking.
Shit. He was running out.

While he scrounged for food, relaying his feelings as he did so, there was nothing that he said that was incorrect. She had hardly known the man, experienced only enough to understand what he could have been; and what he was. It was difficult to accept that others knew her father better than his own daughter. That others were allowed the opportunity to experience him while she was left isolated from him for what he had often preached was her own safety. And yet, as she listened to the man standing across from her, she could only accept that what he said was true. She searched her feelings, probed the Force, but every feeling and notion, as potentially unrewarding as it might be, was truthful. Truth was something she had come to learn over the years of her life was nothing short of an artifice of pain, and that it was something she took with hesitation and met with a modicum of fallacy. If the truth became far too painful than the opposite became her refuge. One of the few things she had learned, it was that lies were nearly as powerful, if not more so, than the truth. A web of lies, while weaker, could suffocate while the weave of the truth left one far more open and susceptible to the dangers of reality.
And yet, she was not inclined to lie in retort to what he had asked her. She had walked in as he'd offered and made herself as comfortable as possible but where she found herself at her most at ease was far from his own ease. It was with that notion considered that she leaned against the nearest counter and folded the thoughts in her mind so that the one that was most important would become clear. He was right. Her father was one of the few that she knew in the modicum of years in her life. While her aunt was a welcome respite from the loneliness of the cave system on Dantooine, she had become only so accustom to being visited by her aunt's consciousness over her physical presence. It was not long after she had reached the age of twelve that her aunt was no longer able to physically retain herself outside of a specialized state. Her mind was strong, but her body was not. It was for those reasons that he was correct, but also far from the truth.
”I never knew my mother,” she sighed as she turned and looked around the room. She could see the food, but it was only the glasses in a nearby compartment that she drew her attention to and went to collect one. She hardly ate, hungry or not, but she felt an uncannily strong urge to drink something though she knew that the man near her would not fully understand. "but I have a glimpse of her that I can never forget." She breathed and, having momentarily given up her search for liquor, and served herself enough for a swig of water. Taking a swig from it she welcomed the refreshment that was the first to come since her departure from the ship and her meditation not long after their arrival. While she had become attuned with her emotions and accustomed to the balance of the Force, nothing relaxed her nerves better than meditation outside of an inhibitor. Every being needed their chagrin and she supposed that that was hers. Though she was not one to outwardly say it. At the very least it could be assessed from her onlookers that her family was an altogether unique subject.
Not her father, nor her aunt. But the reality of the void that she knew existed in the absence of her mother and any other family she knew she could feel through the stretches of the Force.
"I realize this will come as a surprise, but I would hope there is something akin to Tarisian ale in this Villa." She stated flatly as she once again went about sifting through the compartments and regulators for something of the sort. Her inquiry, though not left as one, was answered as she pulled a bottle of what she could only assume was a Nubian whine. A cringe and a shrug overcame her best composure and she slowly slid down from where she stood against the nearest counter until she was sat with her knees to her chest. A position she was readily accepting of maintaining until she caught the glimpse of a bottle atop a compartment high above the Arkanian's head. Without another word the bottle lifted, drifted slowly down to her and she cracked it open with a pop before filling herself a glass. "Your words are comforting, Adieumus, but I'm afraid this will help me more." Downing a good portion of the half filled glass she leaned her head back against the counter rig behind her and eyed Adieumus calmly.
"I hope in time we will come to truly understand our unique perspectives... But neither of us are ready."

It was odd almost. I heard E’yame multiple shout my names. But because the whole factor that I was running on an anxious Adrenaline (or the fact that the whole conversation had theoretically been penned before Puck reacted to the scream) caused me just to focus on getting as much info on the situation as I could. When I saw what my ‘niece’ wanted me to look at, a bit of the childlike wonder filled my eyes as the tiger took wobbly steps toward me.
<<Coo’ie?>>
I smiled as the tiger gained the paws to climb all over me as if I were a jungle gym.
“Thank you Mimi… I am sorry I have been distant…I think you understand… maybe. but I will try to be as good of an uncle as he was.”
That was then a clock down the corridor chimed out the late hour.
“First thing is first though… have you had a bite to eat, or are you more tired than hungry?”
Trying to be serious, I plucked Puck from off my back and cradled him as I tried to glimpse the truth of this creature. I heard a warm comforting aura spread through the room and a voice spoke.
<<This was the form Puck was most familiar with when I was you. Meet me when you are done with our niece.>>

*It wasn't until Thea asked him how he knew everyone in the crew that it occurred to Atton that he really didn't know anyone in the crew beyond their names. He had only spoken to Adi and E'yame before the mission, and then of course Adi literally threw Atton off the Wayward Son. Other than that, he really didn't personally know anyone in the crew. Hell, Thea would be the first one he would talk to for any length of time besides Adi.
He shrugged.*"To be honest, I barely know anyone in the crew. I was kind of a last minute addition to the rescue mission. So yeah I really don't know any of these crazy people."*He sighed.*"So if I may ask, how'd you end up in all this craziness? You don't strike me as the adventuring type."*True, appearances could be deceiving, but from what he had first seen of her in the hangar, she didn't appear to have any kind of training.*

"I think there is a stash of ale in the drawer of the chiller. If not, I know where a stash of alcohol is...but only someone with clearance can get into the area. I have that clearance, so if you can't find any here, let me know." Adi pointed to the cold storage unit, and smiled as he finished the last bite of his sandwich. Thea and Atton came through, and grabbed some sandwich stuff, going off on their own as quickly as they had appeared without saying a word. Looked like they were hitting it off pretty well....good. Atton seemed kinda lonely, and from what Adi had seen, Thea would be a good match for him.
Then again, Adi wasn't known to be a good matchmaker to begin with....
After they made their way to where ever it was they had gone, Adi looked over to I'vaya again. "It would appear that you are stuck with me...with -us- as a crew....for a while. You are, of course, welcome as long as you wish. If you need anything, you know where to find me. Just find the smoke cloud. I won't be far away." Adieumus chuckled as he pulled his pack of hand-rolled smokes out, and lit one. The pungent odor filled the kitchen nearly immediately, and the relaxing effects hit the Arkanian just as rapidly. He was thankful that Eya had shared some of her Endorian Endo with him....it was his favorite strain.
"I think I am going to get some rest. It's been a very long day for all of us, and I believe some of the crew is heading into Theed tomorrow for supplies. We may be here for a bit, so we will need them. Besides, I think some of us need more training if we are to survive anything more harrowing than the Lab. That wasn't nearly as rough as some of the altercations I have been through in the past. We need to be ready.
Goodnight, I'vaya."
With a slight bow, he excused himself, and headed for his room. Only he was able to access it, as he had it set up that way when the Villa was built. He pressed his hand to the access panel, and the scanner blinked green twice. The door slid open, and he walked in. The room was exactly as he had left it nearly seven years ago, down to the things he had left on the dresser. The only difference was that the bed was made up with crisp, clean linens, throwing a soft, clean smell through the room. As he looked around, there were several pictures of Adi and Ice that had been put up on their last visit here. He sighed heavily, and took another drag on the joint. One by one, he took them down, and tossed them in a drawer. He would instruct NaB0B to send them back to Honoghr in the morning. Right now, he just wanted to relax, and seeing pictures of he and his ex-wife happy together just were not conducive to that.
His mind then drifted to Raven, and what he had said to her earlier. What in the world was he -thinking-?? She was a respected Jedi Master, a part of the Jedi High Council...Why was he trying to get her to be more than anything but a friend to him?? He was a scoundrel, unwanted and hated by the Jedi. He was everything that she should avoid, and yet, she was still seemingly receptive to his advances. He wasn't even sure he could go through with what he had claimed he would....Combat, battle, conflict...it was all he knew. Everyone that ever got close to him got hurt because of it as well...and Raven herself was an empath. It wasn't just physical harm he now had to avoid....it was now his very thoughts and emotions that could cause her pain. How could he subject her to that....he was barely able to contain his emotions as it was for himself. She would be in danger constantly if they were to be any more than what they were already.
He took another long drag from the smoke, holding it for a very long moment before exhaling. His mind was now racing...wondering why he had even told her that he had feelings for her in the first place. It wasn't necessarily a mistake, as Raven could probably have easily felt them for herself. But, speaking the words, conveying them...he was confirming them. She knew for sure that he indeed did care a great deal for her....and the feelings were growing rapidly. With another pull on the smoke, and another exhale, the room was beginning to fill up with the smoke and smell of the endo. Finishing that one, he pulled out a second one, and lit that one.
He and Raven would most certainly have to have a very long conversation when they were both a bit more rested.
Leaning back on the bed, he took a long drag from the joint. Closing his eyes, he held the smoke in his lungs for almost a full minute. When he finally went to exhale, hardly anything came out. The buzz was now at its peak, and he stubbed the hand-rolled smoke out in the ashtray. Turning on the holoscreen, Adi flipped on the news channel, but didn't really pay attention to it. Instead, he let the thoughts of Raven float through his mind, along with the events of the day. If nothing else happened, or no one stopped by to speak to him, he would drift off to sleep somewhere about a half hour into the program, and there he would stay until morning.

Raven took the holo devise and walked over to Sinina. Kneeling down next to the Echani she smiled up at her and shook her head.
He should have gotten me to do this in the first place. I might be a Jedi, but I know my way around the healing end of the force.
Studying the hologram of what Sin's knee should look like, she gently put her hand over the girl's injury and closed her eyes, letting the force tell her where the fractures were located, and how the knee was actually shaped. Letting out a calming, focusing breath. A soft yellow glow started showing under her cupped hand and she sent healing energies of the force through the Echani's injury. The bone fragments fused themselves back together. The damaged blood vessels reconnected, and within a matter of minutes, everything was back together and working properly. Raven released her hold and sat back, breathing out a sigh, she looked up at Sinina, her face looking a little more tired. How does that feel? She asked. Sinina should be able to flex her knee now with maybe some stiffness, but no pain.

Anna blinked over at Sinina as she heard the Echani's words. The girl frowned and shifted slightly to look at her more fully.
If you knew how I ended up in that lab...you'd think it was an amateur mistake too.
She smiled a little with a small sigh, eyes blinking with tiredness- but she didn't want to sleep just yet, there was too much going on in the room. From what I saw... You mother should be proud of you- for everything you managed to do even after you got hurt.
She smiled thinly. For what it's worth- I was impressed...
