The infirmary is in no way Shep's favourite part of the Temple. Normally he will say just about anything to get out of going there, but luckily today it isn't the healers he is visiting. Kiineq is still stuck here after their meeting the bounty hunter.
Shep stops in the door to his Masters room and smiles when he spots Kiineq lying in the bed, probably bored.
"Hi, Master." He says.

Kiineq tears his gaze from the ceiling, which he has been studying while trying to meditate.
He smiles.
"Shep!"
He is sitting halfway up in the bed, with pillows propped behind him.
The tall man still looks a little pale and tired.

Sheps steps fully into the room and walks to the bed.
"How are you doing, Master?" He asks, before sitting down on the end of the bed.

Kiineq shifts around a little to find a better position to sit in.
The almost-healed wound in his side is still painful.
"Getting better, thanks" he replies.

"Good." Shep smiles and pulls his legs up to sit cross-legged on the bed. The position pulling a bit on some of his not fully healed scraps, but he doesn't care. "So are they going to let you out soon?"

Kiineq sighs and shakes his head - though he stops quite quickly, as the motion makes him feel dizzy and slightly nauseous.
"No, I am afraid not" he says.

Shep sobers a bit at Kiineqs response. He falls silent and just sits there looking at his Master, wondering what to say. He is missing his Master, even though he hasn't been out of the infirmary that long himself.

Kiineq takes a deep breath and then coughs a little.
"And you?" he asks, critically looking Shep over, trying to spot the Padawan's injuries.

"I'm pretty good." Shep says. He is not up to spending hours on the move yet, but he is definitely feeling better than Kiineq. "Mostly just have a million scraps, cuts and bruises all over. Nothing I can't deal with." He explains, with a confident smile.

Kiineq smiles.
"So all in all nothing worse than usual?" he asks.
Kiineq himself is evidently still affected by the major concussion and the quite serious wound to his side.

Shep smiles back. "Not much worse at least." The Padawan fiddles with his clothes a bit, not sure what to say next, or whether he should leave and let his Master rest.

"Good" Kiineq says before he closes his eyes for a moment.
As he opens them again he looks at Shep.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" he asks. "I'm afraid I can't remember much of it."

"How much do you remember, Master?" Shep asks, his forehead creasing in concentration. "Do you remember meting our attacker?"

Kiineq is about to nod, but thinks better of it.
"Yes, that part I remember" he says affirmatively. "And I remember something about him dropping a sign on us."
Kiineq looks like he is thinking hard. "But I must confess that I can't remember much more than that."

"After that he threw a grenade after us." Shep says, "Didn't really do any damage. Then he got out his sword for some duelling. You did some damage to him during that part. And finally he threw himself of a ledge, but hurled a grenade more against us, that's what did the most damage." He finishes, his voice betraying that his feelings towards having gotten beaten like that.

Kiineq frowns in concentration as he tries to keep up with what Shep is telling him.
For some weird reason, that seems hard today.
"Not so fast!" he says, holding up a hand.

"Sorry." Shep mumbles. He is having a bit of a hard time getting used to his Master being like this. Kiineq is normally just about the opposite of slow.
"First he threw a grenade at us that didn't really do any damage. Then there were some swordfighting, were we did pretty good. And when we had him corner he tossed another grenade at us and jumped over the edge." Shep repeats himself, though talking a lot slower this time.

Kiineq closes his eyes.
His head is starting to hurt a little.
He takes a deep breath and opens his eyes again.
He looks a Shep for a while, as if he is trying to piece together what had happened.
"Why would he do that...?" he asks, more to himself than to Shep.

Shep raises an eyebrow at his Masters reply. "Maybe he lost the will to live?" He suggest with a small smile.

"Huh?" Kiineq looks as if he is surprised that he spoke the question out loud.
"I doubt it" he replies. "He didn't strike me as the suicidal type."
He rubs his forehead.

"Then he probably had a way to survive the drop." Shep says. He has already come to that conclusion on his own. He has after all had a bit to think it through, since he was not hurt as bad as Kiineq. "Anyhow, he did jump."

Kiineq nods slowly.
"Which probably means that we have not yet seen the last of him" he concludes.
He closes his eyes again, feeling a little dizzy.
It seems he is a little more pale now, than earlier.

"Probably." Shep mumbles, then sits back in silence to observe his Master for a moment. "Should I leave and let you get some rest?"

Kiineq doesn't reply right away.
He finally opens his eyes again and looks at Shep.
"You can stay if you want, but I'm not going to stop you leaving either" he says.

It takes Shep a while to decide what to say to that. He is really looking forward to his Master being back in form again.
"Do you mind if I stay for a while?" He says a bit hesitantly. He doesn't want to tax Kiineq to much. "I'll be quiet and out of your way." He quickly adds.

Kiineq sends Shep a weak smile.
"I don't mind" he answers.

Shep smiles back at his Master. "Okay." He says and jumps down the bed, and turns around him self to look at all parts of the small room. After the look-around he decides on a corner of the room from where he can see his Master and Kiineq will be able to see him. He goes there and sits down with his back resting against the wall.

Kiineq relaxes against the pillows and closes his eyes.
It feels like his head is spinning.
He starts focusing on his breathing, calming it as much as possible.
