Chapaa'ai slowly enters Sarrés room at the temple hospital. He growls slightly, as he takes the few, last steps to her bed, finally being able to put her down. The relatively long walk without his branch was harder than he had anticipated. He sits down on the bed next to her, waiting for the notified healer to arrive.
That happens within ten minutes, and less than half an hour thereafter, Sarré's foot has been taken care of, her clothes has been changed, and she's been tugged in bed. Tianara's robe rests folded on the bedside table.
Master Chapaa'ai is still sitting on her bed, letting her rest her head in his lap, humming gently to her, as one would to a baby Wookiee.

Sarré doesn't seem to be any way near consciousness. Her eyes moves in small jerks beneath her closed eyelids, and from time to time she whimpers quietly, as if in fear or pain.

Chapaa'ai gently pads her hair, and continues his quiet Wookiee humming. His eyes are soft and kind. There's no doubt that Sarré holds a special place in his heart.

After a while, Sarré seems to calm down. She stops whimpering, but still moves uncomfortably and mumbles in her sleep.
A thin line of green emerges between her eyelids after what may seem like hours.

Chapaa'ai gently strokes her hair, looking down at her. He hums almost happily when he sees her eyes open just slightly.

Sarrés eyes open up wide by the sound of the Wookie's humming. At first, she looks confused, not knowing where she is. Then the confusion is swallowed by fear. She sits up with a jerk, looking around.
"Where am I?? What happened??!!" Then she notices Chapaa'ai.

Chaapa'ai quickly reaches out, gently touching her arm. He hums soothingly.
[Do not worry, dear Sarré. You are safe now]

Sarré seems to be near hyperventilation. Then she calms down, as she discovers the Wookie Master.
"Master Chapaa'ai....?" she says with a thin, low voice.

[indeed, my young friend] Chapaa'ai gently strokes her hair, smiling to her.
[you are safe]

Sarré sighs a little, then she closes her eyes to stop her tears from running down her cheeks. "I did not want him to kill you..." she mumbles, folding her hands around his furry arm.

Chapaa'ai gently frees his arm from her grasp, only to put it around her, and pull her tiny body close to him.
[no one is going to kill me, young one]

Sarré wraps her arms around one of his arms again and hold her close to him. She is stille shaking a bit. Tears are running down her cheeks, but it doesn't look like she is aware of their presence. The pale green eyes just stares into the distance.
"Master.... I am never going to be well again. Am I?"

Chapaa'ai stiffens a bit, her question making him feel uncomfortable. He shakes his head slowly, gently padding her on her head.
[Never say never, my young friend. Time can heal many wounds....]

Sarré closes her eyes for a moment, making more tears run down her face. "But my wound isn't of a normal kind, is it, Master?" She opens her eyes again, still staring at something invisible to the Wookie Master's eyes.

Chapaa'ai cradle her in his arms, humming quietly to the young woman. Then, he shakes his head.
[no, my dear one, your wound is not normal. No one should have to go through, what you're going through. But do not despair. Never lose faith in the Force, my Young one]
Deep down, Chapaa'ai himself doubts that Sarré will ever recover. But he cannot tear the hope from her...

Sarré looks at the Wookie Master, her green eyes for once calm and serious. "I will never lose my trust in the Force, Master."
Then her eyes grows absent again, and she curls herself into a human ball to warm her fragile figure in Chapaa'ai's arms.

[and as long as we trust in the Force, we are never lost] Chapaa'ai nods slowly. Maybe he really believes his own words. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's not really sure what he's saying anymore? He pads Sarré gently on the head.
[isn't that right, my young one?]

"I will not be lost again, Master." Sarré hugs his furry arm. "I promise."
Then she sighs and closes her eyes, as if trying to sleep.

[Good, my young one, good] the big Wookiee hums soothingly, gently touching the young womans cheek.
[you'll be fine. You're safe now]

The young woman smiles happily and tugs herself into the Wookie's arms. After a while, she falls asleep.
