Jedi Medical Center

[Teagan Skywalker]

Teagan nearly frowned as she unwound herself from him, but he let her go. His eyes betrayed a smile when she held his hand though.

He let out an exhausted sigh and fell down on to the bed, with another wince, as he held onto her hand while she reassured him they would talk. He nodded slowly before pressing her fingertips to his lips. "Ok." He let his hand fall from hers, and an empty feeling seemed to takeover his body. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, even with Artoo repeatedly nudging him in the leg. "We'll find each other," he promised, not entirely sure he meant it in the literal fashion.

[Daphne Lightheart]

There was so much affection in the way he looked at her, and the tone of his voice, that Daphne hardly knew what to make of it. She certainly wasn't inexperienced with men, but she was inexperienced with this. She blinked rapidly, trying to shake herself out of the daze keeping her standing there, and then stepped backwards, drawing her hand away slowly, smile remaining on her lips.

"I know we will," she responded. And couldn't think of anything else to say, wasn't sure what there was to say. She shot a glance at the still over excited Artoo and let out a little laugh, shaking her head. With another, wider grin at Teagan, she backed out of the doorway, where she fell against the wall for five seconds, collecting herself. Not wanting Teagan to walk out on that, she hurried down the hall, towards her room.

[Teagan Skywalker]

Teagan watched her go and tried to smile back, but his eyes seemed to become more hollow with every step she took. When she was out the door Teagan looked down at his hands before shifting his gaze to Artoo. "We'll see Artoo," he said in reply to a questioning beep. "We'll see."

After a few more moments Teagan took a deep breath and pulled himself fully back into the bed and a lay back. Once his head hit the pillow, he let go of the Force and the very room itself seemed to lose all feelings of energy.

The Jedi Knight looked around at the dead room as his mind raced. He watched Artoo go off into a corner and power down before closing his eyes to enter a healing trance. Sleep was not coming tonight and Teagan fully intended on being able to walk the next time he saw Daphne.

[Mercy Freestrike]

Mercy had of course been made aware of Daphne and Teagan's return. After an excited trip to Daphne's room she'd found her friend to be sleeping and so her excitement was diverted toward's Teagan. Flouncing into the Med Labs with LB in tow.

"Teresa!" She called out having spotted a nurse she was fairly close with and waving to several other's with whom she chatted with on regular occasions Mercy flitted towards her. LB shuffled behind - arms full of Balloons,flowers, some sort of stuffed animals and candy. The droid seemed hampered by his armful and nearly crashed into several desks. "Really Mistress Freestrike don't you think this is a bit much?" he asked in his typical droning tone - which somehow managed to be both droning and disapproving at the same time.

"Don't be Silly LB" Mercy waced him off and continued her conversation with Teresa - nurses she had long ago learned often knew far more of what was happening in the Med center then the actual doctors - and were quite alot easier to get talking. within a matter of moments Mercy not only had Teagan's current condition - which thankfully didn't seem to bad - but a fair amount of interesting gossip as well. "Really..they...wow" Was Mercy's only response, before a doctor called out for a nurse and Teresa was forced to head off. Waving goodbye and flashing a brilliant smile to the doctor Mercy turned around to LB.

'He's in the corner room" she stated and led the way - she'd been told he'd was sleeping or in a healing trance and Mercy didn't want to disturb him. "Give me that" she told LB crossly as he nearly crashed into yet another desk,causing a rather terrible screeching sound as it scraped across the floor, taking the rater copious amount of gifts from the bumbling droid she pushed open Teagan's door and scuttled inside, holding a finger to her lips when R2 spotted her.

Within moments the room was filled with brightly colored balloons and flowers in no apparent color scheme whatsoever. It had a rather festive look she thought and practically oozed good thoughts - which was the whole point, people healed much faster when they were happy after all. Though how he couldn't be happy if the rumors she'd heard were true Mercy couldn't fathom. The thought nearly made her giggle as she placed a giant card (To Teagan! from Mercy, with love!) at his bedside table alongside a stuffed X-wing with the Viper symbol on it and slipped out of the room again.

[Teagan Skywalker]

Teagan's eyes opened, much easier this time, and he squinted while looking around the newly decorated room. "There are only two people that would have done this," he sighed, managing a grin. In response to Artoo's beeping accusations, Teagan turned to the side and picked up the card on his bedside table. "I knew it," he laughed as he read Mercy's name.

Placing the card back down he picked up the stuffed X-wing and smiled while examining it. He set it in his lap and took one last look around the room before picking up the remote and turning on the Holoscreen.

[Mercy Freestrike]

Mercy has instructed Teresa to com her whenever Teagan woke up again - suffice to say it wasn't long after he'd opened his eyes that she was invading his room once more. Pushing the door open and flashing him a brilliant smile.

"Teagan! How on Ossus do you go on a simple trip and come back nearly dead?" She chastised him teasingly - knowing full well that she'd done the some thing many times in the past, most o the Vipers had at some point or another. Teagan however was generally the less likely too - being a bit less rash then the rest of them. "I'm glad your back though, I'd ask how the trip was but well.." she motioned to him laying in the medical center. "so what happened?" she plopped down in the chair beside his bed after shoving some balloons out of the way.

[Teagan Skywalker]

Teagan started when Mercy came in. Luckily his back was much further along now so sudden movements didn't hurt anymore and he was able to laugh when Mercy chastised him.

He drew his knees up a bit and rested his forearms on top of them before turning down the volume of the holonews program he had been watching. "Nothing out of the ordinary," he joked. "Not for us anyway."

[Mercy Freestrike]

"Sooo...just your typical mayham then, you know if your going to keep hanging out with Daph you really need to learn how to handle hard partying" She smiled casting a look over him "We can't have you coming back in a near coma every time"

She paused for a few moments, casting her eyes back to capture Teagans "...you are going to keep hanging out with her I presume" Mercy's voice was cheerful as ever but her eyes held a very clear 'if you hurt my best friend' warning. Teagan might be like a brother to her but that wouldn't save him from Mercy's ire if he hurt Daphne's feeling.

[Teagan Skywalker]

"Just the typical mayhem," he confirmed with a nod. "And I'd rather it be me coming back in a coma then one of you two."

Teagan furrowed his brow at the look Mercy gave him. "What do you mean," he asked, sitting up a bit more.

[Mercy Freestrike]

Mercy waved off the coma comment "If I'm in a coma..but I'm in the Temple trust me..I'm happy"

Laughing Mercy gave Teagan an 'oh please' look "You do recall who your talking to right? I'm Mercy...I used to tell Chase when the council wanted to see him before they'd even told people to go and look for him, your just in the Medical wing - getting information from here is like finding candy at the candy store for me.You really didn't think at least one of the nurses wouldn't notice did you?"

She shook her head slightly.

[Teagan Skywalker]

He looked at her clearly bewildered. "Notice what Mercy," he asked her incredulously. Naturally Teagan was thinking of too many things that Mercy could be referring to in order to figure out just what she really meant. He sat up even more now, crossing his legs and leaning forward, his taught back muscles stretching out at last.

[Mercy Freestrike]

Mercy sighed, but not wanting to distress him by tormenting him further merely shook her head."Don't worry about it Teagan...just be careful with Daph okay? I don't want either of you being upset by the other" She concluded after a few moments.

And then to change the subject moved on with the discussion "So are you back home for a while now?"

[Teagan Skywalker]

"No, no. You're not getting out of it that easy," he scolded her with a smile. "What've you heard? And from who?"

[Mercy Freestrike]

Mercy rolled her eyes slightly and started twirling a strand of pink dyed hair around her finger, a habit she''d had for nearly as long as she could remember.

"well..." she started plucking a flower from one of the vases with her free hand and spinning it about in her fingers. "I was told you two got a bit close...perhaps even..kissed, and not just a friendly peck on the cheek either" she finished. She had absolutely no intentions of telling him who she'd heard it from - Mercy was like a journalist in this regard trying to get her to reveal a source was an exercise in insanity.

[Teagan Skywalker]

Teagan's eyes widened as he took in just what Mercy had told him. He put his hands to his face and fell back in the bed. "That means everyone is going know sooner of later," he mumbled behind his hands. "This couldn't get any worse."
