[Aeron]

“NIC,“ Aeron squeels, “Nice surprise, nice surprise indeed. How are you doing? Don’t mind me ... bit difficult to get up right now to tackle you with a hug. But you might get a attempt of one if you help there.” She smiles brightly, her frustration from just before forgotten, blown away with Nic’s entrance. “Can you believe this nurse, calling me Miss Malreaux ... it’s really good to see you. I said that already, no? What have you been up to? I heard bits of pieces from Cait but well ... tell me knight in shining armour yourself.”

[Nick Cousland]

*He chuckles quietly and walks over to her and leans down and carefully gives his good friend a hug.*
I heard about what happened. How are you feeling?
*He nods his head.*
Well, I've been doing okay. Just trying to help reorganize the Order on its new location. We finally got everything built and running. I'm glad Cate called me and told me to come here.
*He quietly looks at her.*
From what she told me, you're very lucky to be alive right now. They find out who did this yet?
*He looks over his shoulder and sees Elissa quietly looking around, being patient.*

[Aeron]

She wraps her good arm around him, an attempt she didn’t know she would manage. Aeron sneaks a kiss on his cheek in, “Really good, my knight that you’re here.”
She takes a deep breath, “Look at me, how shall I feel. I get cabin fever, can’t even wiggle my toes and strapped to this bed.
Cait told me you relocated, and yeah secret secret. My lips are sealed. Sneaky Cait ... she told me she left you in charge with everything and there you are now. Is the Jedi Order now without leadership with you being here,” she teases.
“Trouble isn’t that easy to kill. They need to work harder and if you think I look bad then you should see the others, you can pick ‘em up in a bucket right now, use a broom to get ‘em all.”
Aeron peeks over his shoulder, “And who is this young one? Don’t be scared, I don’t bite even when I look like picking all fights possible.”

[Nick Cousland]

*He smiles softly when she hugs him.*
Its good to see you again. I'm glad you'll be okay.
*He sighs quietly hearing her talk about her crew.*
The perpetrators will be found and brought justice Aeron. You can count on it.
*He grins and nods his head.*
Yeah, she left me in charge, but I had left Pappy a message telling him he's in charge until Cate or I return. The Order's in good hands.
*He follows her gaze over his shoulder.*
Oh, where are my manners. Aeron, this is my good friend Elissa Cousland. Been friends for years. Elissa, this is Aeron, Kage of the Grey Jedi Order.
*Elissa quietly walks over to them and she nods her head.*
Its nice to meet you Kage.
*She looks at Nick and Nick chuckles quietly. He then looks over and sees Cate sleeping.*
Well, I guess we can wait and tell her when she wakes up then Elissa. Why don't you have a seat. You've been traveling a lot and must be worn out.
*She nods her head and sits down in a chair and quietly watches them.*

[Aeron]

“Weed is hard to kill,” she winks.
“Nic I think you misunderstood. The attackers are those you can sweep from the vacuum with broom and bucket. There is nothing left than debris, I made sure of that.” She grins, “You sneaky Jedi. Passing along leader ship from one to the other just as you seem it fit.”
“I distracted you, my knight, I suppose your little friend knows how it is when you meet friends long not seen. And,” a dark shadow crosses her face, “Volk’s Kage now, it’s Miss Malreaux when you ask the nurses around here. I tell you would I be able to get out here ... “
It is rather clear that this bothered her more than she says.
“It’s nice to meet you to Elissa, and call me Aeron.”
“Mhh this turns into a hotel soon, nobody asks for guest quarters, Cait is sleeping here, Kite, Kevin, Angel and even Volk slept in a chair. You people are crazy, Nic, you don’t intend to fall asleep in this room too, do you?”

[Nick Cousland]

*He looks at her and then grins.*
Oh, yeah I guess I did misunderstand.
*He laughs quietly.*
Well good job. Now the question is, who was behind the attack?
*His eyes widen slightly.*
Volk is Kage now?
*He nods his head.*
I know the feeling Aeron. You'll be up and about soon enough. Especially with me and Cate here.
*He chuckles softly.*
Nah, I'm not gonna sleep. Not for a while at least. I've slept enough back at the Temple anyway. Besides...
*He looks distracted slightly.*
I can't sleep now, not until this problem is solved.
*He sighs and glances over at Elissa and then back at Aeron.*

[Kevin Kenobi]

*Kevin awakes to the sound of voices and sees Nick and someone standing behind him. He rubs his eyes and turns and sees that Aeron is awake and alert and sitting up. Kevin smiles at his two friends.*

Hey Nick, how's it going? Aeron, it's good to see you awake and alert. How are you feeling?

[Aeron]

“Well Yuuzhan Vong and since the loyalists are loyal - nice pun - it had been the traditionalists. Well Volk run off before I could tell him, Cait just showed me recently how to block out the pain .. and before I was rather quiet and asleep. Tho now I feel like kickin’. They somehow managed to get something like an interdictor up and I dropped out of hyperspace early. I turned the vessel to face them so that they not gonna hit the engines and sent out all missiles I had in store with the force since I got no target lock in time. I took Angel and raced to the back of the ship never reaching it. Their lava bomb missiles impact and that’s when I got buried under all the crap. And I kept conscious till I felt a shock wave hitting the meanwhile dead vessel.
Well that’s that ... yeah he is Kage, since I am kind of bed bound right now and defenceless wife-y if you want. The galaxy will face chaos and destruction with him in charge,” she giggles. “But you do know, behind a strong leader is usually a woman who is taking the lead in the background.”
Aeron’s face brightens, “So you intend to stay longer?”
“What problem, Nic?” she notices the glances between him, Elissa and Cait.

[Nick Cousland]

*He smiles and nods his head to Kevin.*
Hello Kevin. I'm doing okay. How are you?
*He then grimaces hearing Aeron's near escape from death.*
Oh wow. You are very fortunate to have made it out alive. Both of you.
*He sighs quietly remembering a certain traditionalist.*
I would be surprised if it wasn't them.
*He chuckles and nods his head.*
Yeah, Volk will be alright. After all, you'll be telling him what to do anyway. Right?
*He grins and winks at her and then nods his head.*
Yeah, as long as you guys need me.
*He then sighs when he hears her ask him what's wrong. He looks at her.*
Well apparently, I'm wanted for Capital Murder and Grand Theft by the Czerka Corporation on Coruscant. Which is impossible since I was enroute to the new Temple when it happened. Elissa told me. She was looking for me and went to Coruscant and overheard some of the security guards at the Spire talking. They said the murderer looks exactly like me. I've got a very bad feeling about this.

[Aeron]

Aeron tries to twist and look at Kevin but fails. “Hey ya!”
She looks again at Nic, “She was protected, do you think I’d not protect her? Well there are several and many traditionalists, it needs not to be Lotva Shai. It was rather quiet about her, she might have caused troubles somewhere else for the time being.”
She grins broadly, “Do you think I let him do what pleases him? He’ll have to run for his money.”
“Awesome Nic, awesome. I’d show you around here but’s a bit of a problem with the nurses, they insist me staying in bed but I race ‘em any time.”
She listens to him and nods, her face sad and then she winks and grins wickedly, “Oi that’s gonna be fun, I hide you under the blanket, they never find you, really.” Then she turns serious, “Nic it will clear up, anything I can do for you? I can send out my spies and have them look around, Wibbly is rather good doing that. Or I give my old dad a call, he is even better.”
“Since you can hide out here, I will get you some guest quarters for you and your young lady, as well for Cait, she will complain about her neck after resting in such way. Maybe you go and help the ensign set up what you want, we can’t have the mighty Grand Master of the Jedi sleeping in such conditions?”
She smiles at Nic and the ensign who has been waiting entered, “Kage?”
She grins, “There, that is how I’m called someone knows still at least,” she winks. “Well show the dear Jedi Master Owabi and his young companion the guest quarters and I want that you set everything up after their wishes. We do not want to seem rude and have them sleep in medical cots.”
The ensign nods and waits for Nic and Elissa to follow. “See you in a bit,” Aeron smiles and Nic and Elissa are leaving the medward.

[Caitlin Windancer]

*Cate wakes up when the alarm goes but decides not to interfere and let the nurse try to handle it.
She silently chuckles at Aeron's comments and feels sorry for the nurse but only a little.
She is more in sympathy with Aeron and her frustration.

She is about to intervene and save the nurse from annihilation when she hears Nick's voice.*

Good he came.
He is just what she needs right now.

She thinks.

*Her mouth curves in a smile as she hears them talking until she hears Nick talk about what his problem is.
She lies there in shock and before she can say anything he and his friend leave.
She sits up and automatically cuddling Angel who is still blissfully asleep.
She throws off the blanket and walks over to where Aeron.
When she looks down at Aeron it is obvious from her expression she overheard what Nick said about him being wanted for murder.*

Hi Kevin.

*To Aeron*

Hey you. How are you doing today?
You must be feeling better if you are up to fighting with nurses.
Though I think you can take her even flat on your back.
She doesn't know who she is messing with MWW.

*winks*

Was Nick just here?
I thought I heard his voice just now.

*Her expression is worried though she is trying to hide it.
Angel stirs and blinks her eyes.
She smiles when she sees Aeron and reaches out to her.*

[Aeron]

“You heard that with the nurse? Rude person! Miss Malreaux ... only when the galaxy gets swallowed by a black hole ... and then Miss .. all are Master and me is reduced to Miss Worthless! Just a tad more and .. I tell you Cait if I not get out of here soon I am going crazy - and not just saying so, so really crazy.” She tries to make a funny face.
“And you Jedi! Pretending to sleep! Give me my little one, she cuddled long enough with you, I can hold her - I managed to hug Nic so I can cuddle her for a while. Come to mummy baby girl.” Aeron waits for Cait to place Angel into her arm.
“And Cait - don’t play games, you know full well he was here.”

[Caitlin Windancer]

It was hard not to she was rather loud.
Yes that wasn't very tactful of her.
Then nurses think they rule the med-bay and most of them rule it with an iron hand.

I wasn't pretending.
I wasn't asleep just resting my eyes.
I didn't want to interupt your fun.

Of course.
She needs you.

*She carefully lays Angel in Aeron's good arm.*

*To Angel*


Give mommy a kiss to make her feel better.

I wasn't playing games just wanted to make sure.

*She gives a worried look toward the door where he exited.

It is more serious than he knows if it is who I think it is.

[Aeron]

“Nonsense Cait, I heard you snoring,” Aeron giggles and grins at her friend innocently.
Carefully she holds Angel, it being strange just having one arm to do so. “Has daddy fed you, my dear? I am sure he has forgotten to give you something good to eat.” She looks up to Cait, “Has she gotten anything?”
Aeron leans forward and rubs her nose against Angel’s causing her to giggle and grasp after her hair.
“Cait, what is the problem, what do you know. How can I help him?”

[Caitlin Windancer]

*Gives Aeron a mock glare but secretly amused.*

Snore?
I don't snore.
We need to have your ears checked you must be hearing things.

Not while she has been with me.
She has been sleeping all this time.
But I'm sure she will be hungry shortly if she isn't already.

*frowns at the question.*

I'm not sure if you can Aeron.
Unless you can think of way to get these charges dropped.
There is no way he could of done it if what I overheard is true.
There are a hundred witnesses that he was no where near the Spire when the murder was committed.
But convincing the authorities is another matter.

The problem is that the killer looks like Nick and that could mean one of two things.
One it is a clone.
Which I don't think it is.
Two ...

*shakes her head. Not liking the possibility.*

...that it is Camulus.

Which is rather a problem how do you get rid of an evil spirit of someone who doesn't really exist?
