Klaw carefully helped me get out of the medical bed. They gently helped dress me in the warm attire I had worn the first time we visited Keeara Major, and we started to back our way to the Light Ravager docking bay.
"Did you see their ship when we landed?" I asked, nervous that they wouldn't be here anymore.
"Yes, I saw their ship. I already paid for the docking spot too. And I have extra credits on me Incase they require payment for helping heal your injuries." Klaw said. They opened the docking bay door, and we walked out of the ship. We started making our way down the long bridge that connected to the main building, and sure enough, in the exact same place we left it, sat the ship we had been looking for. We made our way up to the ships docking bay door, and Klaw knocked on it. Within a couple of seconds, out came the same woman, Violet, that I had met the first time.
"Oh, it's you. So your taking up my offer?" She leaned against the frame of the bay door.
"No, I'm here because I was attacked and broke my shoulder." I walked past her and welcomed myself into her ship without permission.
"Hey, I didn't say you could come in!" She chased after me, eventually standing in front of me and blocking my way to go down her hall.
"Why would you come back to me anyways? Don't you know some other people who would have the equipment you need?" She propped her hands on her sides.
"No, I left everything behind when I decided to do this." I slid to the left to try and get around her, but she followed me.
"Why don't you have the equipment yourself? That's kind of a must need when your making trips like this." I shuffled to the right and once again, she followed.
"When I bought the ship, it was a little over my budget. So, I had to ask for things to be taken out in order to make it more affordable. Unlucky for me, I would end up needing that stuff. Now would you just help me of not?" I stomped in frustration, staring her straight in the eyes.
"Fine. Your lucky I have a good feeling about you." Violet swiftly turned on her heels, and walked down the hall guiding Klaw and I towards the medical bay. When we got there, she patted one of the tables and Klaw helped me up onto it.
"Syala, I need you in the med wing please." Violet said into a communicator on her wrist.
"Who's that?" I asked while Violet continued to sort through medical supplies.
"That's my Padawan. I recently recruited her." Violet stood up with a portable X-ray in hand. I waved it off though.
"It's fine, we already took a scan. Klaw?" Klaw projected a hologram with the scan of my shoulder they had taken earlier. Violet tilted her head as to say 'ok then' and went back to looking for supplies.
"So you happened to have a portable X-ray but not the supplies needed to heal your wounds?" She said with a slight mocking tone in her voice.
"Yeah I know, I'm an idiot. Thanks." I rolled my eyes, just as a girl, who I assumed was Syala, walked into the room.
"Master what do you-" she was cut of by the sight of Klaw and I. She seemed startled, then shocked, then confused.
"Is that-" she said pointing to us.
"Yes that is. She has an injury and I need help patching it up. Can you get a GRS-600 ready?" Violet stood up from searching through medical supplies with a roll of Steriplast in hand. Syala started rummaging through a near by closet looking for the GRS-600.
"I don't need a GRS-600, honestly. Besides, those things are kind of expensive..." a GRS-600, or a replar splint, created a minsature suspension field to relieve pressure on a broken bone and help it set into place. Normally they would run for 200 credits, but more complex ones, like for your shoulder, would generally run anywhere from 400 to 600 credits and where hard to find. I would be surprised if they did have one molded for a shoulder.
"Oh don't worry about it sweets. I'm willing to share." Violet took my heavy coat off me, and helped me slide my arm out of my sleeve. She wrapped the Steriplast around my shoulder, a material that would relive pain and help the bones set. Shortly after she finished, Syala walked over with the replar splint and fitted it over my shoulder. I was able to move my arm around, but it was still in a bit of pain.
"Thanks guys. Honestly, I feel really bad about bursting in here and demanding help... what can I do for you? I want to pay you back for this." I hopped off the table and looked at Violet. She got a small smile on her face, and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Just be there for us when we need you. Big things are going to start happening, and I'm going to need all the help I can get. Here, take this com. It's linked to a private channel only I can access. Anytime one of us needs the other, we can reach out with this." She handed me a small com, and I clipped it onto my waist.
"Alright, sounds easy enough." They escorted me to the bay doors again, but right as Klaw and I where about to leave, I stopped, suddenly thinking of a question I had for them.
"Your light saber... did you make that yourself?" I pointed to the saber that was hooked onto her belt. She reached for it, her hand patting it.
"Yeah I did."
"You don't happen to know where I can make my own, would you?"
