Darth Revan's warship floats in space, and the sight would be almost peaceful, were it not for the Republic cruisers honing in. The Sith fleet turns to face them, fighters start streaming from hangar bays.
The Republic Army has the upper hand, for now.
She does so, taking care not to jostle Thekla on the way, sending Bastila a wave of gratitude and fondness over the bond.
Ri will get the distinct blush Bastila wears if not from her face, then definitely from the Bond.
Keeping Thekla calm with the Force was the right decision, as even with that, every jostle lets a small whimper from her lips loose.
Hopefully it's not too far. Ri keeps using the Force to stabilize and soothe Thekla, partially so she can walk a bit faster.
The apartment is tucked away behind a shop, the door lock barely functioning.
Karl waves his hand, and the lock disengages, and the door opens.
The apartment is empty, but there is a holorecorder on a table, a small blue light flashing, indicating a message inside.
Her first order of business is finding somewhere to lay Thekla. The holorecorder can wait.
There are two beds. One double, the covers pulled tight, a neatly packed bag at the end of it.
And on the other side of the room, a single bed, in complete disarray, parts, weapons, and strangely enough, several datapads with local celebrity gossip on them, spread across it.
The messy one is both almost certainly Thekla's and entirely inappropriate for medical treatment.
She lays Thekla on the double bed.
Karl's hand catches it. "It's all right, little one. We'll fix it."
He starts to gently peel away any fabric not also embedded in the wound.
Bastila, not a healer herself, goes to the holorecorder instead, thinking it may be a message from the people who were with the twi'lek.
"Focus on keeping her calm, Ri-Sei," Karl barks, as Thekla squirms, tiny whimpers coming from her lips.
She turns to do so, focusing, trying to soothe herself and spread that peace to Thekla.
Once he can sense Thekla calming down, Karl begins to slowly pull the foreign material from Thekla’s wound.
The recording continues.
“I’m not gonna ask you to stay out of trouble, or stay put, because I know how useless that idea is. I’m just gonna ask that you stay hidden. Kaz and I will be back in a couple days.”
