Brave New World [Open to All]

[Nida Perl]

Nida’s first few weeks with the Jedi had passed well enough, a whirlwind of orientations and lessons to keep the young Padawan occupied and her mind away from anxieties. The adrenaline was easing off now, and at night she found herself hugging her pillow close to her chest and pretending that she was back at home on Zeltros. Kashyyyk was so different, all forests and swampland. Not the urban sprawl she’d grown up in.

Her budding healing abilities found their place with the healers, tending to minor wounds and routine check-ups. Nida had plenty of experience treating small lacerations and bruises thanks to her siblings, who tended to be rowdy with each other.

“There you go,” A chipper note lifted her gentle voice as she finished bandaging the burns on a young Cathar woman’s arm. The recently anointed Jedi Knight had run into a mishap during a soresu demonstration. Thankfully, training sabers were used so the damage was minimal, but still unpleasant. “Keep these bandaged for a week or so, and wash the wounds out twice daily with soap and water.”

The Cathar nodded, sheepish grin on her feline face. “Yeah, I’ve been through this before. Frequent flyer here, you’ll be seeing a lot more of me.” She laughed once, boisterously, before ruffling the Zeltron’s violet hair and waltzing off.

Nida was a bit dumbstruck, unable to find her words for a moment. She was still learning how to interact with Jedi but had come to the conclusion that like most people, they came in all sorts of flavors. “Um, please be more careful in the future…!” As she called out awkwardly, the retreating Knight gave her a wave.

Ohh, that was stupid. Should I not have said that? She outranks me, but she didn’t seem to mind… Rubbing her face with one hand, Nida set to resuming her work, emptying the small basin of water she’d used to wash the woman’s wounds into the sink.

Mani stretched herself out, the muscles in her legs were a little cramped and stiff, her hair in a long ponytail as it was cascading down her back. A tank top hanging loose on her shoulders but it was there. She could feel it in ehr chest while she was moving and the long pants were helpful. skylar form fitted with black boots for moving around. She actually preferred it to the robes but there was something to be said about jedi traditional clothing you wanted to wear.... so she moved and compromised with the utility belt and her saber on her hip. Necklace gleaming as the sigil of force enhanced crystal glowed warmly protecting her mind and strengthing her connection to the force itself.

Nida finished washing the basin and winding up the bandages. The young Zeltron worked methodically, preferring for her workspace to be neat and sterile before each patient. While it wouldn’t always be that was in the field or in times of mass casualty, it was nice to be able to prepare.

Light shifted in the corner of her eye, signaling a new arrival. “I will be with you in one moment.” The healer was busy wiping up some disinfectant spray on her work surface. Looking up, she smiled at the woman in front of her.

“Thank you for waiting. How can I be of assistance?”

Her eyes lingered on the woman’s skin for a few long moments, noticing the shade. Then she flushed a shade of red after realizing that she’d been staring. “I’m sorry.” She apologized. “I just haven’t seen another Zeltron…around here.” Since leaving home.

Nami looked at the girl and offered a bow of her head. "There are a few, mostly they teach at the academy on zeltros. Barsoom does enough outreach." SHe looked more at the area they were in and leaned against a wall. "But it is always nice to see another zeltron.. I am Nami Perl." THe smile on her face was there and she shook her head out and the hair around her shoulders while relaxing and allowing the force to wash over herself.
