Waiting Area

[flowering_mind]

There's coffee, food, water, and a bunch of chairs for anyone awake and needing a break.

And Tahiri was still here, of course, still poring over her datapad in a concentrated effort to keep herself busy. What, you thought she'd have left?

The apple Professor Atreides had given her had long since been eaten, and she was dutifully nibbling on sandwiches and whatever other snacks she could get her hands on in her frequent trips between the cots and the waiting area.

Raven had been presumably told to remain in bed and rest, but she could not bring herself to remain still. She moved from cot to cot, looking for those she knew, trying to send them courage and strength, then made her way out to the waiting area. When she saw Tahiri, she came to a dead stop. She is not the same woman. She is not the same woman.

Tahiri looked up, apprehension crossing her face when she saw Rachel's hesitation. "You're awake?"

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

"Yes," she said, forcing herself to be calm and trying to keep her shields strong so Tahiri would not sense the reason for her being startled. "I am myself once more. Where is Professor Skywalker? I did not see him with the others."

Re: Waiting Area

[weetuskenraider]

"Him, too?" Tahiri bit her lip. "I haven't seen him here, and I've been here since yesterday."

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

"He is there, in the other Fandom," Raven said. She could still feel the phantom pain of the lightsaber blade across her chest. "But his body must be here somewhere and should be cared for. He does not live on the island, correct?"

She may also have been thinking pleasedon'taskabouttheotherFandom.

Yeah, Tahiri didn't want to ask. She was barely keeping herself away from a freakout as it was. "No, he lives in the city. I hope he fell asleep there, and not somewhere else, Force. Is he all right?"

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

"Do you know his contact information?" Raven asked. "Perhaps we should call and speak to his wife. Even if he is not there she must be worried, so I should tell her that he is all right and thinking of her and their child."

Tahiri winced. "I left my comlink back in the dorms. The number's in there, but . . ." She glanced toward Ben's cot. "I don't want to leave."

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

"Would Ben have one?" Raven asked.

Re: Waiting Area

[weetuskenraider]

"He should." Tahiri hesitated, not liking the idea of going through Ben's things when he wasn't awake to have a say in it. "There's got to be a directory around here somewhere, and I'm sure someone will let you use the phone."

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

Raven nodded. "Yes, I will ask, thank you."

Re: Waiting Area

[weetuskenraider]

"Why are you awake?" Tahiri asked suddenly, her voice tiny. "When most of them aren't?"

Re: Waiting Area

[trigons_child]

"My body in the other Fandom died," Raven said, unconsciously touching her hand to her chest. "My spirit returned here, to my true body."

Re: Waiting Area

[weetuskenraider]

Right about then, Tahiri stopped wishing Ben would wake up. "And what about the other you?"
