Daisy looks thoroughly un-reassured.

"-but if it's going to bother you that much, I won't."

"Thank you."

"Mind, I can relate with the curiosity. Pocket dimensions are like the ultimate personality quiz."

"Yeah. I'll start thinking about that statue, I guess."

"Good luck."

"Mmhmm."

She goes; Daisy stays.

"Is she still recovering?"

"-yes, she is. She hasn't explained what happened at all?"

"Not in a lot of detail."

Sigh. "Do you want to know? It's kind of upsetting."

"As long she doesn't mind."

Pause. "As long as you don't try to stop her from doing things, she says."

Thinking. "Okay."

Nod.

"At the end of that fight, the other Sith used a Force effect on her that was meant to kill her. It would have killed most people; what it does is - separate you from the Force, physically; make you not the kind of thing that's alive any more. Luckily she has some experience at doing things with the Force that most people just do automatically without it, so when her heart and lungs stopped working on their own she was able to fill in for them... but that takes effort and focus, on her part. If she wasn't a dreamshaper she'd've died the first time she had to sleep. As is she's been healing that damage, getting back to where she can trust her body to work automatically again, but it's slow; she's only almost there with breathing."

"Well, fuck. It explains a lot. She is recovering, right?"

"She is, yes. It's coming back slowly, but it is coming back, and she's had the attention to spare for healing her arm, too. But it's going to be a while before she's actually okay - probably only a few more weeks until she's out of danger, but I expect she'll be dealing with lingering effects of it for a year, maybe more."

"Okay, I generally trust her to take care of herself, but investigating your potential dimension does sound a bit unnecessary at this time."

"Yeah. If she says it's safe it would probably be, but - she's frustrated, more than anything. It wasn't a strategic offer."

"I suppose if you already had ideas to help her with the frustration..."

"Not really - she usually blows off steam with 'saber practice, but that's not safe right now either."

"Training with safer weapons doesn't cut it?"

"It wouldn't be the same, 'sabers are special. Some other kind of Force practice might be okay? Something where if she has to stop suddenly she doesn't risk losing a limb."

"We could look something up. It's a good idea for us to practice too."

Nod.

"Have you seen her do lightning, yet? The -" she has to sign the word, it translates to something like 'surface sparks' - "won't be a good idea, but regular bolts might be fine."
