After Darkness (Firemane)

Tegaea Alcori

“Yes, the Sith on the planet below are most likely greatly weakened by our assault. We seem to have killed the Dark Lord too,” Tegaea said, quite pleased. She was no great fan of Sith either…possibly excluding Nyssa.

When she entered, Tempest eyed Nyssa as she touched Elpsis’ head. That seemed to her an oddly wrong thing to do – to remind Elpsis that she was shorn of her firemane. Still, she made no comment.

“You must be hungry for real food, a little bit anyway. Is she cleared for that?” she asked the medical droid the last.
“The patient should only ingest small amounts of sustenance for a further period of 24 standard hours.”
“Right, so no feasts. Anything you feel like, Elpsis?” Tegaea asked.
If Elpsis wished to sit up her mother would support her.

The moment Nyssa touched Elpsis' bare skull, she realised she'd made a mistake when the girl looked uncomfortable. "They cut it off," Elpsis said unhappily. "At the camp. While reciting their stupid code." Her lip trembled slightly when she mentioned the ghost site.
Nyssa looked sort of uncomfortable. "Sorry, didn't think," she muttered. "You burnt them. You burnt them good. It'll come back and be long and glorious. If it's any consolation, you're the prettiest bald Firemane."
"Your lines are awful," Elpsis responded, but she did chuckle somewhat.
"They make you laugh. That's one point in their favour. Don't feel bad about any scars. Don't think they make you lesser. Anyone who thinks you have to be some kind of doll is an unworthy weakling. Struggle makes us strong. Besides, you got no hair, the Inquisitor bastard is just ashes."
"Kept his skull. Gonna put it somewhere."
"I can alchemise it, you know. Make sure it never degrades. You can show it off to fools."
Elpsis was quiet for a moment. "Yes, do that," she smiled darkly. Her white eyes darted to her mother. "Some salad would be nice. Maybe a soup." That said she tried to sit up in bed.

Tegaea frowned also at Nyssa’s ‘helpful’ lines, but at least her daughter didn’t take them too ill. When she gave her request, Tegaea gestured to an attendant who hurried off.
She then helped her daughter sit up. Elpsis looked in bad shape and was a bit wobbly, but was also much thinner and lighter than she had been due to mistreatment. The doctors had suggested not increasing her calorie intake rapidly as that might cause stress on the body.

Food soon arrived on a little trolley. Tempest eyed it but concluded it was safe. She stole one of Elpsis’ lettuce leaves.
“You can get your own!” Tegaea said with mock outrage.
