Cora was fortunate that Makko had plucked her body from the frozen wastes of Arkania in time. With the Alliance's position of fragile uncertainty, he'd elected to bring her to Naboo. They had friends there, and more importantly, safer borders.

Weeks had passed before she was able to breathe unassisted, but one lung remained collapsed while the vessels of her heart constricted and pinched, reducing blood flow and hampering her stamina.

Eventually, she was well enough to travel. It had taken quite a bit of convincing for her husband to agree to Thyferra, but Cora wanted to take stock of what - and who - was left.

After an episode during which she'd lost consciousness, she was to stay at Thyferra's medical center for observation.

"Goodness. That's a tough call."

The servos of her hoverchair whined as Cora drew closer toward the Arkanian woman locked in a game of Dejarik. The blonde scrutinized the playing field before her gaze flicked down to the pair of bacta-filled braces fitted around her fellow Jedi’s legs. Her expression softened, and her focus was back on the board.

"You must be playing against a fairly high difficulty setting."

There were several possible moves that she could see, and none could be made without sacrificing a piece to the computer. A fitting echo for the Alliance's future, if she were to send her train of thought in that direction.

“Do you find that it helps?”

Kylass blinked away from the game board and saw that a bright golden-haired woman in a hoverchair, much like her own, had drifted next to the table. She was watching the holoprojection monster pieces with a curious focus. But it was her question that cut through the fog of stratagems and allegorical battle. Kylass twisted the edge of her pale lips and flicked her silvery eyes back down at the board.

“I don’t know,” Kylass confessed, unable to answer her. She wasn’t even sure what it was trying to help or if it was simply a needed distraction.

“Usually, it does,” Kylass continued. “I used to learn all sorts of stratagems and plays back when I spent more time with daring Spacers and gambit-loving Pilots.”

Kylass narrowed her eyes and drew up her hand to hold up her chin as she pinned the elbow below on the armrest of her hoverchair. “But now,” she sighed. “I can’t come up with anything. No direction…no next move…just stagnate contemplation at where I’ve befallen myself.”

But before she could fall into a deeper conversation with herself, Kylass pulled herself out and blinked away her meditative stupor. She lifted her head from the bracing hand and looked over to the blonde woman. For the first time she could see her properly. She saw her state, and once more, she could feel something far more scarring, pulsing in the Force’s aura about her. They were both broken and battered, but this woman had something far more precious broken. Kylass’ focused stare from the board softened, and the furrow of her thin grey brows loosened and her pursed lips eased into a flat line.

“Apologies,” said Kylass. “Starhaven, Kylass Starhaven. Jedi Lightsworn…and well….current patient.”

Kylass extended a hand to the blonde woman.
