And the last promt for today :) What’s going on in #distantpain? Is Obi-Wan well? Does Rex have his conversation with Obi in time to ask him for the favour regarding Dogma? And with that I wish You a very productive and creative evening xD Have a good night!
Opening
his eyes slowly, Obi-Wan breathed out heavily and tilted his head to
look around with blurry eyes as he let out a small noise, catching
the attention of the person with their back to him, the
blurry white and blue being the only thing he could really get in.
Instantly the person jumped, turned and then came over, becoming
clearer to Obi-Wan.
Kix.
That
meant this was a medbay for sure, the sterile smell making that clear
along with the whiteness surrounding him.
“Hey
there General, please remain still, you’re suppose to go into bacta
soon.” Kix soothed, checking over the readouts as Obi-Wan continued
blinking up at the man.
He
let out a small noise, rasping, which had the medic jumping a bit
before moving away and returning just as quickly, holding something
in his hands.
When
a straw was placed to his lips, Obi-Wan let out a soft moan of
relief, sucking down a slightly sweetened liquid that he would bet
was medicated in some manner.
Not
that Obi-Wan really cared.
He
trusted the clones more than most and that meant he was more than
willing to drink a medicated liquid they gave him. Finally he settled
back, his head clearing up more as Kix set the glass and straw away,
going back to the readouts.
“…Krell?”
He rasped out, blinking up at Kix, desperate for answers. The most
pressing, the threat he remembered had been alive.
“Dead,”
Kix answered shortly, pausing before taking a deep breath. “Captain
Rex want’s to talk with you about that, do you feel up to it? I can
fill you in on Zuru and Cotton while we wait on the captain?” The
medic offered, curious and cautious.
Blinking,
mind going slow, Obi-Wan gave a nod, breathing out. “Yes.”
He
watched as Kix send of a message to the captain and then the medic
sat down on the bedside, filling in the other on how Zuru was taking
care of his little dragon friend, Cotton moping around as she was
curled up around the pilots neck most days.
She
was allowed into the medbay for periods but couldn’t really stay
there.
Zuru
was also feeding her, or getting her to eat, so that was good.
And
the Resolute was now on it’s way home along with the Maverick,
General Skywalker having picked them all up and rushing them back to
Coruscant after Krell’s situation.
The
medic broke off when the door snapped open though, Rex striding in
with a nervous look on his face that eased out when he saw Obi-Wan
awake. The captain paused for a second, breathing out then moved
over, saluting the injured Jedi. “Sir, great to see you awake.”
He murmured with a small smile.
Quirking
his lip a bit in response, Obi-Wan peered up at him. “So, what’s
going on with Krell?” He murmured, ignoring the taun-taun in
headlight looks both sported.
He
was injured, not stupid, something was going on and he didn’t
remember killing the fucker and yet he was dead.
Rolling
his shoulders, Rex sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “We need
your help frankly sir, Dogma took your saber to him, bisected him.
Normally, that would bring Dogma in under a lot of scrutiny, along
with the 501st
but-”
Obi-Wan
cut the other off, chuckling softly as he shook his head. “Oh dear,
it appears I cut up a traitor, how terrible. It seems I will be
questioned by the Council.” He smirked up at them both before
winking at the two startled men.
Rex
blinked several times before he let out a soft chuckle, smiling
slightly before he leaned down. “Jetiise vod, ni’m briikase gar’re
jate,” He murmured quietly, Obi-Wan feeling something close to a
sledgehammer in his chest. Zuru had called him brother before but…
but Rex wasn’t Zuru. Rex was the captain of a whole battalion.
“Let’s get you into the bacta tank.” Rex pulled back, looking
to Kix.
Mind
still spinning, Obi-Wan couldn’t quite gather around the idea of
being claimed by an entire battalion as he clearly was now, Kix
setting a sedative to prepare him for the bacta tank.
It
worked fast too, Obi-Wan still watching them speechlessly as he for
once wondered if… maybe… maybe life was worth more than what he
could do in the brief time he was alive.
