It's been only a few days since Tech's surgery, so he needs to keep resting. The ship is on Ord Mantell so you all can take a breather and Echo can make sure the ship is working properly. Once you wake up, you see him across the room, messing with some mechanical parts.
"Tech, come rest with me." You tell him.
He laughs softly. "I'm only using my hands, mesh'la. I'm not out there lifting Gonky like Wrecker."
"I know, I'm just worried about you..." You admit.
He slowly walks over to you, being careful not to hurt his chest.
"Don't be. I'll be alright." He smiles.
"If you say so." You shrug.
He goes back to what he was working on.
"What's that?" You ask.
It looks like a gadget you've never seen before.
"A new version of droid poppers. I believe they will be more effective." He explains.
"I bet the squad will be happy about these." You say, smiling.
"Yes, the squad... even Crosshair." Tech mutters.
You walk out with Tech into the main hull of the Marauder as he holds his new creations.
"I believe you all will find these new droid poppers to be quite useful." Tech says, showing everyone.
"Nice job... brother." Crosshair tells him.
Everyone looks in shock at Crosshair. That's the first time (or the first time in a while, at least) that he's said anything like that.
Tech pauses for a moment, then says, "T-Thank you."
Crosshair looks at all of your facial expressions. "Oh, grow up, all of you. I was being nice."
Suddenly, Tech's breath hitches and he puts his hand on his chest.
"Tech!" You say, concerned.
"Is this normal for the recovery?" Hunter asks, looking at you. You shrug.
Tech takes a deep breath. "After my surgery, I did some research on the effectiveness and safety of it. This is all normal for the recovery, given it's only been a few days and they had to completely reshape my chest."
"Get some rest, Tech. Trust me, it helps." Echo tells him.
Tech nods and follows you into your room. You help him lay down and he closes his eyes.
"I guess it would be beneficial for me to get some rest." He comments.
"Please do, love." You say, kissing him.
You head towards the door and turn off the lights. "Is it okay if I do some training? I want to give you space so I'm not crowding you."
"Of course. I'll let you know if I need anything." Tech reassures you.
"I'm going to do some training. I'll be back later." You tell the rest of the squad.
"Can I come with you?" Omega asks.
You look over to Hunter.
"That's fine. Just make sure you're in a place where you'll be away from others. I'm sure you know that." Hunter tells you two.
You nod and gesture for Omega to follow you. You put on your cloak since the city is particularly full of people today. There's a pretty secluded forest up ahead to the west. You make your way through all of the people in the market. You notice a feeling of anxiety wash over you. A lot has happened over the past few days, and you're still processing everything. Someone bumps into you and you gasp but continue walking.
As you walk closer to the forest and out of the busy part of town, Omega asks, "Y/N, are you okay? You seem... nervous."
You smile, grateful for her concern. "Yeah, I'm okay. So much has happened over the past few days, I'm just not sure if I'm in my best state right now."
"That makes sense. I'm here for you if you need anything." She responds.
You two make your way to the forest.
"I'm going to warn you, this might seem pretty boring. I'll probably be meditating for a while before I start to work on my lightsaber skills." You tell Omega.
"That's okay!" She begins. "Is it okay if I meditate with you?"
You smile. It's been a long time since someone has mediated with you. It reminds you of when you used to meditate with your old master.
"Of course, Omega." You reply.
You both sit on the ground across from each other and close your eyes.
"There's not much to meditation. What I normally do is just close my eyes and not try to stop my thoughts, but to notice each one." You explain.
"Sounds pretty easy." Omega says.
You two are silent. You take a few deep breaths in, and you can hear Omega doing the same thing. Surprisingly, you don't have a lot of thoughts, but more feelings. Guilt, anxiety, and sadness cloud your mind. Just like you told Omega, you try not to push these feelings away, but to just notice them. You can feel some tears forming in your eyes as you begin to think about the fall from the railcar and how Tech had to get surgery, what would've happened if you didn't save him. It's scary to think that you two had to go through that. It almost feels like it somehow brought you two closer. In those moments, you felt so scared, but also comforted by the fact that no matter what happened, Tech would always love you. You notice how good it feels to know that he cares for you. You and Omega meditate for a while longer, and you open your eyes after, wiping a few of the tears you had. Omega gets up and looks at you.
"Are you going to practice your lightsaber skills now?" Omega asks eagerly.
You laugh. "I know, it's the most exciting part of training. Yeah, I'll work on it now."
You ignite your lightsaber and it shines bright F/C. It reminds you of the time that Tech helped you get another kyber crystal. You smile.
After getting in the proper stance for the first form, you say, "This is Form I, Shii-Cho. It's very simple, and it was the first form I learned."
Omega's eyes light up. "Your form looks amazing!"
You smile. "Oh this? This is nothing."
You remember the second form. "Form II. Makashi. It's very graceful and focuses on very quick and precise strikes." You demonstrate a few swings with this form.
"What's the next form?" Omega asks.
You love her curiousity. "Form III. Soresu. It's heavily focused on defense rather than being aggresive. It focuses on tight movements." You show her a defensive potion with your saber.
You continue. "Form IV. Ataru. It focuses on using the Force more rather than relying a lot on your lightsaber."
"Form V. Shien. It's used for blaster deflection and saber-to-saber-combat. It's what you see me doing a lot of the time when people fire at us." You explain to Omega.
Omega looks at the way you hold the lightsaber. "Wow, that's so cool!"
"The last one I'll go over for today is the one that most Jedi use. It's Form VI, Niman. It's a good balance of offense and defense. It's less physically demanding than the other forms which is nice." You tell her.
"You know so much about combat, wow..." Omega says.
You smile. "Well, I was taught for many years."
You get back to ship and head to your room. Tech sits up in bed when he sees you.
"Did you sleep well?" You ask.
"Yes. How was your training?" He responds.
"Really good. Omega came with me and I explained the different forms of lightsaber combat to her." You tell him.
You come and sit down next to him. He kisses your forehead.
"My amazing Jedi." He says, smiling.
"I was worrying about you a bit while meditating, though." You admit.
He looks into your eyes. "Y/N, please don't worry about me."
You sigh. "I know, I know. I'm just adjusting."
Tech holds your hand. "We'll get this figured out. Together."
