I am Leal

Visiting Rights

Euphoria sat next to Leal and stared at the pale corpse that had tubes coming in and out of her. Kix had updated her almost regularly on her sister's condition but even three weeks later nothing had really changed. The same happened with Cody. She had often seen Leal's squad sitting there especially Edge seemed to guard her bed at any free time he could bare. She often heard him whisper things to her and Cody, like it would make them less ill or something. She didn't believe they heard him but she hadn't the heart to tell him otherwise as well.

When Leal had been so ill before she had always talked to her but now was different. Not a single word slipped out of her mouth. She couldn't say a thing as her throat knotted and she had trouble breathing. Since Woffle had kicked them out of the med bay he had kept close taps on them. He hadn't said much but it was evident that he suspected the worst from Kara and herself. Well, Kara had tried escaping a few times but it was to no use. Woffle had dozens of operations for them to keep them occupied and only when Euphoria visited Leal she got left alone for a few hours.

The worst part was though, that she thought that Stone had tried to come to her, but Woffle kept him away as well. She had heard a few Wolfpack members talk about a commander having a heated argument with Woffle and another one, who had tried to get forcefully into the barrack. But she couldn't say for certain if the two commanders were Thire and Stone. They had had one mission in the past three weeks and she couldn't really concentrate. Too much was on her plate right now. With Leal in a coma and Kara none stop aggressive, because she was bored to her head, she envied the time where making a perfect tartlet for Stone was the hardest job she had.

"I need your advise." Euphoria whispered to her sleeping sister, but of course she didn't answer. Then she was silent again until she had to go. For one last time for today she looked her sister over before she stood up and left again. In that moment the doors open and in walked the Captain Naz had told them three weeks ago. Euphoria had seen him some other times too but couldn't care less for him. She nodded before leaving and letting Howzer alone.

She wandered through the barracks of the 212th, who were currently on a mission with Naz and the 501st on Umbara. They had left a couple of days ago and she hadn't heard from them since then. Her head was filled with her thoughts that she didn't notice the aggravated medic rushing through the barrack and accidentally running her over. "I'm sorry." He mumbled as he had his eyes still on the data pad. "It's fine, nothing happened." Her voice was shakily and she couldn't hide her tiredness in it.

"How are they doing?" She asked and Will sighed. "The venom is retreating from their blood stream just slowly but it is retreating so...good, I guess." He still looked on his data pad and shook his head again. "Can I help you with something?" She asked just to get her mind off of something. "Not really, I really need the commander to wake up." As Euphoria kept quiet he looked up and saw the woman nearly in tears. "Oh, ehh... not that you aren't pleasant as well, but..." Will stuttered but Euphoria waved it off. "Sorry, I'm just weeping easily lately. I need my sister right now, too." She waved before her eyes to get the tears away what helped not really much but enough so that she could see clearly again. "Eh... I got to update Commander Blitz." Will said uncomfortably and Euphoria nodded before wiping her nose on her sleeve. "Could you do me a favor though?" She asked and Will nodded. "Of course." He pressed his lips together and awaited her instructions. "Could you tell my commander, if he asks, that I'm still at Leal's side? And that I might stay there overnight and give me a call, if he comes to check on me?" She asked and Will furrowed his brows but nodded.

"Anything for my commander's sister." Euphoria smiled and patted his arm. "Thanks a lot." Without an explanation she turned and hurried to get away. With an alibi now on her hands she hoped that it would not get busted by Woffle. She hurried to get to a speeder unnoticed and drove to the Coruscant Guard barrack in hopes of finding Stone there. After asking around she headed to the briefing room. When she turned the corner she could see Woffle and quickly turned around unnoticed. Her heart beat quickly inside her chest as she listened to the conversation she had almost interrupted.
