Syll'kann leaves the small ship that brought him to Chu'unthor and makes his way to the infirmary. He has not been on board the ship on many occasions, but he already knows his way around.
While he walks, he reaches out with the Force to sense Ladda. To find out where she is.

Ladda is in her little apartment, located almost next to the infirmary. She is walking around in the living room, waiting for the water to boil.

Syll'kann walks by the infirmary. He knows where to find Ladda - though he has never been in her apartment. You could call it a sixth sense. He stops in front of the door, knocking silently.

"Please, come in," Ladda does not open the door, as she is busy pouring the hot water into the tea pot. She looks up, though, smiling as a friendly welcome. She is no Jedi, but she is quite certain she knows who it is.
Syll'kann. Right on time.

Syll'kann enters the apartment. He takes a few steps inside, and the door closes behind him. He has never been to Ladda's apartment before, but he is as always far too correct to look around before adressing her.
He meets Ladda's eyes and smiles his characteristic silent smile. "Hello, my dear Ladda. I am hopefully not late?"

Ladda's smile doesn't fade, it only gets a little warmer as she meets Syll'kann's eyes. "No, dearest. Your timing is perfect,"
She lifts the tea pot with both hands, and walks towards him with a smile. "Please, sit down," She nods towards a low table with two arm chairs.

"Thank you, Ladda." Syll'kann's smile grows warmer, and he limbs to one of the arm chairs and sits down. Then he allows himself to take a look around in Ladda's apartment.

The apartment is held in white and light colours, and well lit. It is comfortable and both clean and neat, and decorated with a few holograms portraying a field of white flowers, flying birds, a crystal formation, underwater reef and the like. All in all a calm resting place for the twi'lek doctor, despite of the short time she has been here.
Ladda fills two cups before putting the tea pot down on the table, and hands him one of them before sitting down in the chair beside him. "It is good to see you again, my friend,"

Syll'kann takes the cup from her hands, briefly letting his fingertips touch the back of her hands. "It is good to see you, too, my dear," he answers. "I have missed you."
That was not appropiate to say. Not at all. He should have added something more - something less suspecting. But it is too late. And he is not going to try swallowing his words.

Ladda looks at him, hesitating a short moment before walking to the chair to sit down. She smiles at the sound of his words, almost as if she also guesses his thoughts.
Then she sits down, taking her own cup, her gaze still holding his eyes. "I have missed you too, dear Syll'kann. I am glad you called,"

"When it comes to the subject of the past, I have no one else to talk to," Syll'kann answers honestly. No point keeping his feelings hidden from her. Somehow she knows anyway. Somehow she always knows. "And I am glad that you wanted to see me."

Ladda warms her thin fingers on the cup, listening quietly for a moment. The past...
"Something making the past not so..passed, dear?"
|
|
|
Post by Syll'kann on Apr 30, 2009 19:22:41 GMT 1
Syll'kann nods. "Indeed, my dear Ladda... indeed." He drinks from his tea cup, before he continues. "Do you remember, when we first met?"
|

Post by Laddaa'Nann on Apr 30, 2009 19:25:57 GMT 1
"Yes, I do remember," She smiles silently. "You were one of my...messier cases,"
|

Post by Syll'kann on Apr 30, 2009 19:28:34 GMT 1
"I was." Syll'kann smiles by the thought of the memory crossing his mind. Some of his memories of the past are painfull. Some of them are warm. "Do you remember, when I tried to leave my bed and fell flat on the floor because of my knee?"

The smile on Ladda's lips widens a little. "I swear, you were cursing out loud," He might not have been doing that, but she remembers it like this. Perhaps because of the then young Jedi's unusually angry face. "You looked furious,"
|
|

Post by Syll'kann on Apr 30, 2009 19:44:25 GMT 1
Syll'kann laughs silently. "I don't remember swearing. But I might have, as furious as I was." His lekku twitch a bit, and he rests a hand on his crippled knee. "And I had something to be furious about."

Ladda nods slowly, laying one hand gently on his, over his knee. "Yes, you had. But you were also lucky to escape without other lasting injuries..."

"I know that, Ladda, I know...." Syll'kann shakes his head. "I was the lucky one to make it out alive." His fingers wraps themselves into Ladda's, holding them in a firm grib. Maybe he notices - maybe he doesn't.

Ladda does notice. Does it bother her? No. Not at all. On the contrary, actually.
"..I am glad you did, Syll'kann."

Syll'kann smiles at her. "Even though I was one of your most messiet patients...?" He squeezes her hand a bit. He has noticed his fingers, too.

Ladda meets his eyes once more, smiling. "Yes. Even though your wounds bled through tons of dressings and bed sheets, I am glad you made it eventually. I would have hated to loose you to the Fallen..."
|

Post by Syll'kann on Apr 30, 2009 21:16:12 GMT 1
Loose you to the Fallen....
Syll'kann's lekku twitch once more, and he tightens his grib around her hand. Not painfully, though. He will not hurt her.
"You will never loose me to the Fallen, Ladda." He looks sensirely at her.

Her thin fingers gently strokes his sinewy hand. "You promise me that?"

Post by Syll'kann on Apr 30, 2009 21:34:43 GMT 1
Syll'kann looks into her eyes and nods slowly. His fingers move a bit, as she strokes his hand. But not as if he is uncomfortable. Not even close. "Yes, I promise you."

"Thank you, my dear," Smiling, she takes a sip of her tea cup.

Syll'kann drinks some of his tea again, feeling the warmth spread out in his body. Or maybe it's just the feeling of holding Ladda's hand...
"But that was not, what I came to talk to you about." He looks at her again. "It was about the choice I made back then."

Ladda's fingers feel warm from the cup of tea they are holding. And from Syll'kann's gentle hand. "You made some choices back then, my friend," And yet, she has a good idea what he is referring to. "Is it about you not taking a padawan?" No. It is not. Why would he discuss that with a doctor when the temple is swarming with other Jedi? But she wants him to say it out loud himself.

"Yes." Syll'kann nods once. "It is about my choice not to take a Padawan. Back then I thought that there was no other options. But the more I think about it, the more I doubt my choice as the right one." He shakes his head and looks at her. "I do not have anyone else to talk to but you, when it comes to the past, my dear."

This surprises Ladda. Truly. She can usually tell what people think about, at least people she knows well. Like Syll'kann.
Oh well, she is no Jedi, can't be right all the time...
"You consider taking a padawan...?"
