[Being sick and confined to your apartment sucks for a lot of reasons when you're a Jedi. Jacen's in a healing trance, hoping to stave things off for as long as possible, but even in that state, he can feel his body losing the fight. The symptoms, while annoying, barely register to him. He's managed to push through infinitely worse before. The only reasons he's agreed to stay here are to keep from infecting others, and to keep Tenel Ka company.
She'd rather be out of here as well, though.
To top of the annoyance factor, Jaina's entirely shut herself off to their bond, no matter how many times Jacen attempts to contact her. With Anakin sequestering himself in space, who knows what she was willing to do to find a way to save either of them? He didn't like it, and didn't like not being able to find out for himself.
The fact that he can't quite push these thoughts from his head mean that the trance is shallow enough for him to register Zekk's approach and snap himself out of it. He punches the door open before his friend can even knock.]
Has something happened? [... Ok, maybe he's a little on edge.]
