panacea
Amani shifted anxiously in wait, unable to find anything natural to do with her limbs on stage. She fought to focus on Valery and the words she was saying rather than anything else. Even still it took a beat to register.
Amani blinked. Chief Healer? She muttered the words inaudibly as if testing the feel of them. Suddenly she beamed. A confluence of disbelief and elation bubbled up into an indisguisable reaction. Never a title she ever would have imagined earning for herself, regardless of any de facto status that she had already held before that point. This felt entirely different. An unattainable dream made manifest.
Her eyes were then drawn to the ancient sapphire, its radiant properties tangible in the Force even now. She stared at it long, before realizing that they were waiting for an answer, "Y-yes! Yes. I-I'm honored to accept, Master Noble. Thank you." She stammered through, managing a quiet awkward laugh at herself as she bowed in gratitude. "I only hope I can continue to do justice to this title you all have entrusted me with." Amani looked to the gathered attendees, to her friends and colleagues, to Alicio especially, unable to wipe the stupid smile from her face. She finally turned back to Valery to accept the sapphire, now quiet enough for only her to hear, "...Thanks Val." An excess of emotion crept into her voice, but was kept down from turning into a scene of its own.
