CORUSCANT JEDI TEMPLE
MEDICAL WING

"All done, your leg will be healed in a few days, Master Jedi."

Jack didn't even have the heart to make a joke, waving the droid off with a small smile, settling back on the bed in relaxation, physically, that was. Not with a chest burdening by recent events, inflicting a more personal nature.

Testing the feel of his right ankle, courtesy of a scorned woman's swing. He was careless in that regard, how he was to know anyone could throw a halberd that fast? Well, certainly when a man egged her on. Gripping his kneecap, swinging his leg back and forth in gentle consideration, the ache not that bad after it'd been tended for.

But right now, that was the least of his worries.

"Ah, Master Noble! A pleasure," Jack perked up, witnessing the Grandmaster enter upon his contacted request, an hour earlier. The droid spoke up, hovering over the ground with its cheerful, programmed demeanour to put any Jedi or house guests at ease. "Do you require any assistance?"

Valery stepped into the room, her presence calm yet warm as her fiery gaze swept over the medical bay. It didn't take long for her to find Jack, settled on the bed, testing the movement of his recently treated leg. Even before he greeted her, she could sense it — the weight in his presence, the kind of burden that went beyond physical injury.

Her gaze softened slightly, though she didn't comment just yet. Instead, she turned to the hovering medical droid as it chimed in with its usual cheerful tone.

"No, thank you," Valery replied with a small shake of her head. "I was called here by the patient himself."

She turned back to Jack then, her smirk teasing but gentle as she stepped closer. "I assume this wasn't just an invitation to show off your battle wounds?" she quipped, her arms crossing lightly over her chest. "Though, I have to admit — I'm curious what kind of fight you got yourself into this time."

Her tone was light, but there was an underlying attentiveness to the way she looked at him. Whatever had led him to request her presence, she was here to listen.

With the medical droid floated off to perform its other duties, that left them with some modicrm of privacy. Jack just managed a strained smirk, swinging his lower lip a little back and forth, the pain numbing steadily.

"More than you might think," Tossing up his head, the Knight began with a severe tone, "I wanted to give you the news first of my discovery of the investigation on Chandrila, before I gave my report to the Council. Trust me, Grandmaster, there's good reason."

Letting the weight of his words sink in.
