Room 204 [morning]

Aug 13, 2010 12:37

It turns out that Skywalker stupidity stubbornness can only hold out so long against the forces of nature, and healing trances and meditation are not the same thing as sixteen solid hours of sleep.

( Unfortunately for Ben, the sleep meant that his brain was trying to process all of the trauma he'd been repressing... )

It wasn't hard for Tahiri to get a sense of when Ben was upset at all, and she'd just been getting dressed and heading down to the salle for practice when she felt a spike of hurt through the Force.

She was heading for his room like a blaster bolt, reaching out to brush his Force presence with hers before she even got to the door. Ben!

. . . she knocked, anyway. Just to make it clear she was actually there.

Well, this was going to be hard to explain.

A pulse of guilt-fueled embarrassment rippled through the Force before his mental walls came right back up.

Come in.

Oh, Tahiri caught that; it explained her quizzical expression when she opened the door and slipped in, shutting it behind her again.

"Bad night?" she asked without preamble, coming over to sit on the edge of the bed.

He nodded, wishing his eyes didn't look quite so red. "I didn't mean to disturb you."

She'd been in her room, feeding seeds to Warren when she felt the wave of Ben's fear and pain and guilt wash over the hallway. Seeds scattering everywhere, Karla was out of her door and halfway to his room before she even consciously realized what was going on.

Marveling a bit that no one else had noticed anything amiss--how could they not, it was so strong?--Karla skidded to a stop outside Ben's door and knocked, a demand in seven knuckle raps.

Don't suppose I can get away with saying it's fine, huh? Ben tried.

glacial_witch August 13 2010, 18:50:05 UTC

*Witch,* Karla reminded dryly. *And one of your best friends, which means I can tell when something's wrong. Care to try that again?*

Then, laying smartass aside for a moment, she added, *Please can I come in? You worried me.*

It's open, Ben replied, sitting up on his bed and reaching for a shirt.

Because clearly after drawing someone over strictly based on your emotional reaction, she would care if you were shirtless.
