Firemane Hospital, Kaeshana
After battle of Alderaan
Step by step she awoke from her slumber as she gradually drifted out of the realm of Morpheus. Her slumber had been confused but now the dreamlands no longer held her. The light was too bright, far too much and so averted her eyes as it invaded them. Still feeling tired she tried to rub the sleep from her eyes as she gradually adjusted to her surroundings. Her limbs felt a bit numb when she tried to stretch, but otherwise she felt alright. More importantly she was still annoyingly tired. As her vision cleared her surroundings soon solidified and she found herself looking at...a hospital room. That in itself was nothing new. She had been in these so often that it would probably behoove her to start grading them by now. Doubtless a nurse would soon enter and make some lame quip about her having lost limbs again. Her hands quickly travelled down her body, checking every part of it. All limbs accounted for, nothing lost.
That was good. What was far less easy to answer was the simple question of why she was in the hospital in the first place. Her head still bloody hurt, which for some absurd reason made her consider the possibility that she might have spent last night partying for too long...but then she'd be lying in her bed in her home. Siobhan was not the most observant person but she liked to think she had a good memory. Yet as she tried to search through the depths of her mind she drew...a blank. For a moment an irrational fear filled her. Had something happened to Tegaea? But the thought was ridiculous. Kaelin was long dead after all, her wife was recovering and they had left the Protectorate behind them. Then why was she here?
Outside the sun was shining, birds chirped happily, as if driven by a desire to troll her, and the warm sunlight invaded her room through the window, the silk curtains having been parted. It was clearly daytime and she was reasonably certain she was on Kaeshana, being able to catch a glimpse of the mountain tops and of the gleaming city of Santaissa in the far distance when she cocked her head to the side slightly. A frown creased her features but thoughts were interrupted as she suddenly heard noise coming from outside the room...
