Bedside Banter & Eye Batting

It seemed rather ironic and sad in Tanasukis mind, both him and [member="Zavii"] having survived the Sith attack with only minor scrapes and bumps, nothing even remotely serious, let along life threatening. Yet here he was, sitting beside the Zabrak as she lay in a hospital bed, a slug wound just near her belly button, inflicted by one of their own. It was a rather tragic event, after all that had happened, and to a Padawan as well, sure a feisty and outgoing person but still a Padawan, not a knight or master

"Well at least you are alive Zavii", he whispered to himself in a hushed tonne, not knowing if the pink haired girl could hear him, his hand resting close to the slug wound, resisting the constant urge to rub the area. "You were probably not awake for this but you and I had a blood transfusion, that gut wound of your making you lose quite a bit... though I wonder". His mind started to wander about if the Zabrak would inherit some minor healing abilities from Vampire blood? The whole procedure being so quick to stabilize the girl such a thought had not crossed his mind, hopefully the other Jedi where not getting ideas.
 
It seemed like she had slept for ages, having constant dreams of intense pain mixed with dispair- both her own and that of all the stress-tightened faces that hovered in and out of focus. Eventually everything had calmed down and she had fallen into blissful oblivion for a time, but alas all good things had to end at one time or another. At least the latest dream seemed peaceful. There was a faint chime that sounded at regular intervals, and soon she had begun to perceive her own breathing. The air smelled strange, but not unpleasantly so. It was cool, but her skin was covered by soft cloth, and where there had been pain before, there was now a soothing pressure, as if the hurt had been tempered by a loving hand.

Then there was a voice; soft and soothing, praising life and saying a name... Zavii. Things were beginning to come back. With a deep breath and a quiet sigh, she drew her eyelids open and a room came into focus around her. Everything was white, but a different white from the rest of the Silver Jedi Temple. Machines with monitors were everywhere and she lay in a strange bed, beside which sat [member="Tanaski Yumi"]. His was the hand that rested on her body, but as she realized that she was in the hospital and he'd been sitting here with her as she slept, she decided not to make him move it. She instead just stared at him, still slightly confused. Her throat felt dry and her voice sounded weak and slightly raspy, as if she'd been asleep for a couple of days.

"A... blood... transfusion?" At the moment her mind was hazy and the Force seemed muted, all of which left her a bit confused. "Why?"
 
It was peaceful just sitting her, idly rubbing his hag against the girl’s stomach, a scene that seemed to hang on forever, even if only a few minutes had past, the sensation of her body rising and falling with each subtle breath conveying a sense of tranquilly. In time though the breaths became a little, inconsistent, Tanasuki sensing the Zabrak returning to the wold of the living, the familiar gaze of the amethyst eye peeking out from under her darkened skin.

He was unsure about how to react upon the woman waking up, perhaps move his hand give the recovering Jedi some space to breath, but no, his hand remained where it was, gently caressing the area around the wound. The look of confusion that engulfed Zavii's face did raise some concern though, had she not known about the close brush with death? The raspy voice seeming to confirm the boy’s thoughts on the matter.

Leaning over he placed a small glass of water, bringing it over to Zavii's mouth, condensation forming around the item that had been filled with the cool life-giving liquid. "Here have a drink, will make you feel better, though as for a transfusion, that slug wound you got, it left you bleeding out quite a bit, they were able to get you stable but you needed blood to replace what you had lost" "Most of the artificial stuff being used to treat others, and you know, being force users, the blood thing is a little tricky.... but tell me [member="Zavii"], how do you feel"?
 
"Thank you," she whispered as the petite boy produced a glass of water and held it close to her lips. She brought a hand up to help control the cup as she sipped, swallowed and sipped again, then let him take it away. Drinking helped her realize that her stomach was empty; hopefully that would change soon. She lay still and listened to his explanation, and as she did she realized that she must be on some kind of pain medication because her mind seemed to be working in slow-motion. When [member="Tanaski Yumi"] finished speaking, she blinked dreamily and looked up at the ceiling, letting everything sink in as she worked to remember what had landed her here.

"Oh..." she said simply at first. "I feel fine," she sighed, then turned her eyes upon him again. "Well... I can't..." The Zabrak trailed off while she looked into Tanasuki's eyes. He'd actually given her blood, and a lot, apparently. Had she really been that badly hurt? Then again, she must have been if she was here. Suddenly remembering that she'd left him in mid-sentence, she shook her head gently and started again. "I think it's the drugs, but the Force... it's like it's muted. And i'm... really hungry. How long have I been here again?"
 
Tanasuki kept the glass steady as the Zabrak sipped, patiently waiting for her to finish before playing the now almost empty glass to the side, returning his eyes to the bedded woman. in addition to being thirsty the carnivore was not doubt hungry, but a stomach wound made eating a later rather than sooner act, one needing to wait until the walls and other parts healed up properly.

Her response to the whole ordeal and explanation was sombre, he could tell [member="Zavii"] was still sleepy, her voice sounding droopy and low in pitch, the way she trailed off into though, meditating on what had happened over the last few days being a little cute. "Ah yes, the anesthetic will make you feel numb, had to do some surgery to get the bullet out", a problem with slugs, just could not slap a bacta patch on it like blaster wounds, the doctors had to remove the metal item and shrapnel from one’s body, a delicate process.

"As for the force, that may be a drug thin as well, or from my blood now in your veins, may have to wait a bit before you can use it once again to your fullest ability", He replied keeping eyes locked with the Zabrak, a hopeful look on his face for when she would in time be able to get out of bed. "He he, yes you would feel hungry, being on a drip does not really satisfy one’s taste for, meat and 'other' things is something I can understand". "As for how long, well you were brought in, and operated on, then we had the blood transfusion, you have been resting for a day to two, so in all 4 days". It may have been more but unfortunately Tanasuki had not been around for the event.
 
The wounded Padawan listened to her friend's explanation and nodded thoughtfully. "Surgery, yeah. That makes sense." It did, especially if she'd been shot. Now if only she could remember when it happened. She had definitely gotten out of the invasion without any major injuries, and that was before she and Tana had kissed...

Then, everything came back to her. "Kei," she said, looking up at [member="Tanaski Yumi"]. "Tana, I need you to do me a favor... when I get out of this bed, I need you to help me find the man who shot me. Damn it, I can't believe it's been four days!" She started to sit up, but halfway there she felt a sharp pain as a couple of stitches popped. With a grunt and gritted teeth, the Zabrak lay back down and let out her breath slowly. "Yeah... It might be a little while, but will you help me? His name's Kei Raxis... he's one of us- a Silver Knight- but he's having a hard time right now. I could hear Darkness in his Song. He needs help."
 
Well it was nice to see she was still perceptive, even minor wounds like fractured bones took a day to heal with bacta, medical science made it easier to heal and treat people, but nothing could speed up the recovery of one’s race. The two once again sat there in silence as the Zabrak seemed to think about something, the following sudden and odd outburst catching the young Jin off guard, "Kei? wait wh-".

He was unable to finish his sentence, [member="Zavii"] going on about the Jedi called Kei Raxis, a name that he did not really know, aside from the Raxis part, "Wait, Zavii don't be rash, lay back down rest no point in making things worse than they already are". He put a hand on the woman's shoulder, pressing her back down lightly onto the bed, his hand rubbing over the painful area, knowing how a wound like that could hurt. The description of this man was... odd, but not unheard of, with all that was going on recently everyone was feeling pressured, what’s more a fellow Silver falling to the dark side brought back personal memories, those of Sukai’s own but temporary fall to the dark side.

An emotionally distraught Jedi was often the most reckless, he would need to be saved least others pay the price. "... I will help Zavii, by what you said I am going to guess he was the one that did this, if so they need much help, besides it is the least I can do to repay you for... 'that' thing".
 
"Y-yeah, it was him. I remember it now, clearly." The bright-eyed Zabrak nodded to herself. "He's a Human, tall, and thin. Used to have long hair and a beard, but it's all shorter now, and his eyes are green as moss on a rock. I caught him packing... he meant to leave in the night and I tried to stop him. He pulled out his lightsaber and I was about to disarm him when he grabbed my pistol..." She trailed off, not needing to finish since [member="Tanaski Yumi"] already knew what had happened next.

She watched his face as he promised to help her find Kei and bring him back, then furrowed her eyebrows in confusion at his reasoning.
"What do you mean 'that thing'? Oh! You mean-" she chuckled softly, stifled a groan of pain and disguised it as clearing her throat. After a silent moment that threatened to become awkward, she put a hand on top of the one he had rested over her wound and smiled. "Hey, you've already helped me with your blood, so thank you. Really." With a little squeeze of his hand and a grateful smile she added, "Besides, I enjoyed that kiss too, and I wouldn't mind doing it again, as long as we're alone..."
 
Tana silently nodded as the Zabrak explained the man’s looks, best have a description to go off, but more than likely he'd be able to attain a proper identification of the runaway knight when they go in search of him. "Yes, I can see where that went, I could not say how things may have gone differently had I been there, but it is in the past now, best not fret about it, our goal as of now it to track him down", a small smile running from cheek to cheek, one that would soon be accompanied by a slight blush. Perhaps it was a little awkward bringing it up now but he would rather just state the truth here and now then beat around the bush, even though there was more too it then a simple short make out session.

The small laugh at least confirm that her sense of humour was still intact, it being rather inspiring to see her push through the pain and discomfort making the most out of this small conversation. "I was more than happy to help with the blood, have to make up for all the slack I missed during my pre- Jedi days", he replied, gentle squeezing back on [member="Zavii"]'s hands. "It was a nice kiss, and I believe that we are alone at the current moment", a sly smirk and raised eye brow coming into play, "the question is being you well enough... but then again kissing is supposed to 'make is all good does it not"? A little play on the ye old kiss it better trick, though with a slight change to the kissing location.
 
"Yes," the Zabraki girl smirked at [member="Tanaski Yumi"]'s response, "Yes we are." Her free hand floated up and she put a finger under his chin, then pulled gently and subtly as if she'd speared him. Her vibrant eyes locked into his as she drew him down and when his face was only a few inches from her own, she focused on his lips. Just before they met, her hand shifted to hold his cheek in her palm and she lifted her head, pressing into a kiss that was gentler than their first. She let her lips part but didn't employ her tongue, instead going for a slow, tender contact that nevertheless sent pure electricity through her nerves. She barely even noticed the pain in her stomach as she arched her body ever-so-slightly and held the boy's hand tighter than before. Eventually, she gave his cheek a little push and made a little sound that was not-unlike a vocal pout as their lips unlocked and she rested her head once more on the pillow.

With a slightly wild glint in her eyes, the young woman regarded the Human above her closely and bit her lower lip, thinking. After a moment, she cracked a smile and let her hand slide down from his cheek to rest on her body, somewhere between her chest and the wound that the pair's other hands were clasped over. "You wanna know a secret?" she whispered. Still looking deep into his dark eyes, she spoke two more syllables quietly but clearly; "Sophii."
 
Tanasukis heart began to race as the Zabrak gave that oh so sly and confirm comment about their privacy, her hands brushing gently along his chin, his sapphire eyes staring into her own, the boy willingly leaning closer. His free hand siding across her belly, moving to her upper arm in one smooth motion before their lips touched one again, the boy pursing his own slightly as that gap closed. Upon touching the sensation of her freshly wet and soft lips felt like bliss, kissing her back with care but with a passionate touch, rubbing her upper arm lightly. Their locked hands clasping tighter with one another, as their small make out session lasting longer then the last, Tanasuki letting out a small joyful humm as the two's head parted once again.

Her following reaction as just to sexy to ignore, the young boy smiling with a devilish grin, his own hand move up [member="Zavii"]'s arm once more, brushing against her soft silky cheeks before returning to her wound spot, the Zabrak's own following suit, the two now holding hands in a romantic fashion. "Spohii.... it is beautiful... just like you", Tanasuki did not blush nor look away embarrassed, those words ringing oh so true, the boy just sitting there, lightly squeezing Zavii's hands, both staring longingly into each other's gem like irises. "Want to know a secret about my name, Ta, Na Suki... I love you in basic".
 
Sophii hummed with contentment when [member="Tanaski Yumi"] called her beautiful, and smiled brightly when he told her the meaning of his name. "Is that so? Shall I call you 'Lover-boy' from now on, then?" She lifted her left hand again to poke the tip of his nose, then brushed the finger down across his lips. "You're sort of cute too, you know. I bet you've already kissed half the girls in the Temple. Just do me a favor and don't go telling anyone. I don't want to be known as Tanasuki's flavor-of-the-month and end up regretting my first kiss." Even as she said it, she was smiling, hoping that she was wrong. Still, she would keep her ears out for any gossip, and Force help the boy if she heard anything back from someone else's lips.

"Now if you don't mind, that kiss really took it out of me... I think I need to sleep another two days. But do me another favor, Lover-Boy?" Her dark, slender fingers twisted gently out of his grip and she held her palm flat to his, comparing the size of their hands. "Don't call me Sophii around other people either. There's a reason I hide my real name."
 
He gave off a small thinking hum as he contemplated the new nick name, "perhaps it would be rather fitting". As the girl’s hand brushed against his nose and kips he could not help but give her skin a small pecking kiss, "Well you are not wrong about being cute, a pretty boy and all, but as for kissing, well that time in the garden was my first, seems that being popular with the ladies is only a recent thing". "but no, you are not my flavour for the month, you are hopefully going to be much more then that". Sophii was probably the most amazing woman he had ever met, most female Jedi in the order already being much older or not interested in a pretty boy like himself besides one other. Though this girl laying before him right now was, and she had such a lovable personality to boot.

"Of course, my sleeping beauty, rest up, perhaps you will be out of this bed faster than though originally though", the twos hands touching face to face like one palming a mirror, both being rather slender in look with a soft feminine feel, if but Tana's being slightly larger. "hee hee, do not worry, I will keep your name safe within my lip, maybe you do the same with the lover boy nick name, don't want all the Jedi to know just yet", slowly Tana brushed his free hand against her brown cheek, watching with a gentle smile as [member="Zavii"] drifted back off to the land of slumber.
 
Sophii sighed in quiet relief and yawned. "That's all... very lovely to hear. I'm glad we're on the same page, Tana." She shifted onto her side to face him and nuzzled the hand that he rested on her cheek. "I can't wait to get out of here so you can take me out someplace fun." She yawned again and let her eyelids fall shut, taking his hand from her face to hold it under both her hands, against her chest.

With that thought floating in her mind, she slowly faded into a restful sleep, one with far more pleasant dreams than before...
 
A sensation of joy and plasure flowed through his body as [member="Zavii"]'s nose gently nuzzled against his hand,"I am glad you like it Sophii, and do not worry I promise to take you out somewhere fun once all this is over". His ocean blue gaze continued to stare at the girl as she slowly drifted off to sleep, Tanasuki's heart skipping a bit as his hand was moved by the Zabrak to her own chest, a bright red streak appearing across his face. It was a soft touch, but he dare not try anything naughty, just sitting there, enjoying the time together, watching the sleeping beauty, 'I am one lucky guy'.
