Pressing the scavenged yellow and cool gelbag to his face, Yan let
out a muffled groan of pain as an arm flopped around his shoulders.
“That hurts.” He got out, voice slightly slurred.

“Welcome to the world of war.” Boil chortled, sitting down on
Yan’s other side which let Yan know that it was Waxer on the other
side with his arm around him.

He just grunted a bit at the man’s answer before whining when a
gentle hand carefully wrapped around his wrist and pulled the hand
and gelbag away from his face. “Noooo.”

“Let me have a look Commander.” Helix murmured, smiling when Yan
reluctantly let his hands drop to his lap with the gelbag. The clones
around hissed in sympathy as they got a good look at Yan’s swollen
and bruising face. “Oh you got it real good huh, that rustbucket
nailed you real good.” The medic gently prodded at the swell along
Yan’s jaw before making him open his mouth to look at the still
bleeding gum missing a tooth on the swelling side on the bottom.
“You’re going to need a new tooth.”

“Figured as much.” The raven murmured before almost moaning when
Helix put some kind of cream on his face that felt absolutely
gorgeous. “Oooh…”

“Temporary relief.” Helix hummed out and continued spreading the
cream over the cheek and all over the jaw. “Don’t really got a
lot of supplies here on the evac shuttle.” He grinned at Yan and he
nodded slowly.

“Gotcha.” The padawan sighed before looking around slowly,
counting eight troopers. “Did master jump into one of the other
shuttles?” He questioned quietly. Yan had seen Master Obi-Wan
moments before he had been pulled onto this shuttle by Helix and they
had taken off but he couldn’t be sure.

“Yes commander.” Waxer smiled at him. “Commander Cody informed
us that they’re in the air too right now so we’ll rendezvous back
at main camp with General Skywalker.” The sunny inclined clone
beamed.

That got a snort out of the medic, cleaned off his hand on a somewhat
dirty cloth before putting the cream jar back in his belt pouch. “And
that means I can get both General Kenobi and Commander here to medic.
Good, I’ll call forward to Kix so he can set things up.” He
carefully patted Yan’s knee before getting up and moving to the
front with the pilot to comm forward.

Yan meanwhile just curled up against Waxer’s side and pressed the
gelbag against his face again, sighing quietly to himself as he felt
Obi-Wan gently check on him through their bond, his master’s worry
fading when he got a good read on Yan.

Smiling a bit into the bag, Yan sent a quiet message back that he was
fine, that he was with the clones and that he was just a little bit
injured.

There was some reluctant amusement and resignation on the others side
at that which caused Yan to grin wryly into the cool gelbag. He had a
suspicion from that, that his brother padawan used to get injured as
Obi-Wan’s padawan too.

Feeling the world tilt a bit, Yan made a quiet noise as Waxer cupped
his head and slowly pressed on him until the padawan was resting his
head on the others shoulder with a quiet noise. “Just take a few
moments to relax Commander, we got your six.” Waxer said
cheerfully.

“Kay… Tired anyhow.” Yan sighed quietly and snuggled his aching
body slowly up against Waxer’s armored side, feeling another
trooper sit down on his other side to provide bodyheat as he kept his
face in the cool gelbag.

He must have fallen asleep on the shuttle because when he woke up he
could faintly hear birds chirping somewhere and he was tucked up in a
warm bed with blankets all around him. He could hear his master
quietly argue with Helix that he didn’t need more rest and that
master Obi-Wan was quite alright to go back to work.

Smiling a bit at that, Yan snuggled more into the bed.

His movement however caught the attention of both Helix and Obi-Wan
and he whined softly when a warm hand with calluses touched his face,
peering blearily up at his master.

“Hey there Yan, about time you started waking.” Obi-Wan murmured
fondly.

Blinking, slowly absorbing the information, the padawan made a
questioning noise. “Have I been sleeping long?” He leaned into
the hand on his face.

“About fourteen hours commander but you were exhausted and in pain,
so that’s understandable.” Helix smiled, holding out a cup of
water and a small cup with a few pills in it. “Now take these
please. The bacta has taken care of what it could but you fractured
your jaw and that’s bound to be hurting still.”

Well that explained the throbbing and Yan sat up slowly to take the
pills and water, leaning against his master’s side as he did.

“Exciting first deployment?” Obi-Wan grinned wryly at him and Yan
couldn’t help a small laugh as he nodded.

“Perhaps a bit too exciting.” He leaned against the other.

That got him a gentle hug from the redhead.
