Stephanie has discovered the fire, and is currently curled into a tight ball in an enormous armchair watching the flames. She mostly looks sad, tired and thoughtful, but every so often she giggles and hugs herself, in the manner of one who's had a lot of bad things and one incredibly good thing happen to her recently. She's got a lot to think about. But she's never been particularly good at thinking things through - it's hard work. She'd welcome distractions.

[Mace Windu helps Steph work through some more of her ever-multiplying Issues, with a little help from the Force; Steph and Connor get to know each other a little, in that we're-from-the-same-universe-let's-talk way.]

Healer, heal thyself. Steph's not sure where the thought comes from, but it sits there in her mind, somehow the only calm thing in her stormy thoughts.

"I ... I could ... I only wanted to help people, even in the beginning... I could do that. I could ..." ...heal myself. "...maybe I could figure out a way..."

"You can. If you want to help, if you want to be useful, if you want it strongly enough to set aside this heavy burden of grief that is making you slow and sluggish. You can."

"I think I have to," Steph says slowly. "I ..."

Heal thyself.

"...yes. I will."

"good." He smiles, approvingly. "very good."


Yes, it was somewhat a dirty trick, but... it will fade, as she improves.

It's probably just the sort of dirty trick she needed. She bows her head and thinks about it.

[Mun is so going to bed now. nearly 6am! eep! want to slowtime again, or fade here?]
