She climbs onto the counter to do that comfortably, soaping and washing and rinsing and setting them to dry.

When she's done, she's happy to rejoin her sister in the medbay with him.

He follows her to the medbay, and heads over to check on Aleeka.

"How are you feeling?" 

Permalink

She's all propped up against the pillows on the cot when he enters, blearily reading something on Jamis' datapad. It takes her a moment to look up, and another to focus her eyes on him.

"...tired," she settles on. 

Permalink

"Makes sense.  Is anything hurting more than the last time we talked, or hurting now when it wasn't before?"

Permalink

"Yes," she decides, after another moment. "My muscles ache. My legs." 

Permalink

"Ache like you just did a bunch of exercise?" He asks.

Permalink

She nods. 

"Some. I think... Other things hurt more than they did before. The bruises. I think- there was something for pain." 

Permalink

"We should probably re-apply the bruise salve anyway.  You said no drugs earlier, so I'm not gonna give you anything unless you ask for it, but if you do want something for the pain, or to help you sleep tonight, let me know.  How are the nausea and dizziness?"

Permalink

"The nausea is... Better. But still there. I think... More dizzy," she admits, closing her eyes, "Moving too fast makes them worse." 

She holds her arms out towards his and Jamis' direction, for salving, her eyes still closed.

Permalink

Jamis takes them - she shouldn't be exerting herself! - leaving Canin to get the salve. 

Permalink

He grabs the salve and sets about carefully re-applying it. 

"Do you need to use the 'fresher?  I'm headed to bed after I'm done here, and I'd prefer to only be woken up if there's actually an emergency."

Permalink

"I could go," she says, blinking her eyes open to look at her bandaged wrists, "I should. Broth," she notes, wisely.

Permalink

"Alright.  Same approach as last time?"  This is directed at both kids.

Permalink

"Mhm," she holds her bandaged arms up as Jamis nods beside her. 

It's about as quick a procedure as the last time had been.

Permalink

And so he returns Aleeka to her bed.

"Last chance for requests before I leave.  Blankets are in here if you need more."  He pulls open a cabinet as he says so, revealing it to be filled with spare towels and blankets.

Permalink

Aleeka is already halfway to sleep.

Permalink

"Is there more of that soup if she wakes up hungry?" 

Permalink

He nods.  "In the kitchen, I'll show you."

Permalink

She makes sure Aleeka knows she'll be back soon - she's asleep enough she might not have heard, but she seems to understand - before following him. 

Permalink

He opens a cabinet.

"Here's the soup." He taps a container full of smaller packets.  "Stick to these for now, they're the ones you had already and the best for upset stomachs, since I'm out of plain broth powder.  Just add boiling water."

Permalink

She levers herself up to get a good look, then nods, "Do they have the veg and meat in em?" 

Permalink

"'Lek.  The plain broth powder I don't have doesn't, but that's not much help."

Permalink

She nods again, resettling on her feet, "Maybe she'll be up to it later, anyway," she hopes so. "Should she get more scar cream sometime? An', should I comm you if she needs more kolto or something? Like if something opens up." She isn't gonna handle that stuff without him telling her she can, it's crazy pricey, especially with the war and everything. 

Permalink

"If she complains about itching, take the bandages off her wrists and re-apply the scar cream, otherwise she shouldn't need it until morning.  If any of her wounds re-open, or she complains about new or much worse pain, comm me." 

Permalink

"'Okay. G'night," she says and, so informed, she returns to Aleeka's side.
