Solan nodded as he thought about what he could tell her. "Well that... it was a sad event like your own to be honest. Most of my family was slaughtered, in truth the only people i ever knew up until that point. I was alone, and decided instead to take my leave of the world for good. I still own a home on the planet, my family's home remains, their graves untouched. But i haven't gone back in more than a number of years... think of it like your reaction to the fire." He ran a hand through the fire, letting it pass through with no damage at all as his other hand maintained it.
"From there i went to Nar'Shadaa, became a mercenary while i was there and met a girl. That didn't last but i did get the only surviving family member from it, that being my daughter. From there i became a freelancer and a drifter, thus why i am here now." He left out a great deal, but he suspected she didn't want a novel based on his life, so he decided to say the parts that were important to how he got to this moment.

Kay nodded as she listened to his story. "I'm sorry for the loss of your family. I know that doesn't mean much, but I do understand how you feel." As he passed his hand through the flame she wondered how he was not burned by it. She was tempted to try that herself but didn't make a move to do so.
Instead she changed the subject. "Well....here's to forging ahead. Now let's say that we try to fix your eyes, hmm?" How could he say no to that?

He smiled at her for a few more seconds before nodding and closing his hands, the flames cutting out as their source of fuel was removed from the equation. "Lets... Thank you again Kay, if you hadn't been here id be in a much worse place... probably still passed out and dying in the hall." His hands came to his lap now as he just nodded. "Do you need me to help you in any way with the process, and i suspect it wont be completely fixed in one treatment, will it?" He was already sure it would probably take a few tries to completely fix his sight, but atleeast he could have some hope in the impossible.

"I'm a Healer, so it's my job. And besides, if you weren't here, I probably would've froze to death." She smirked and then gave him her instructions. "Just lie down for now. I'm not sure of the extent of the damage just yet, so I don't know how long it would take."
Kay then placed both of her hands over his eyes and then closed her own as she concentrated, tapping into the Force. She used her mind's eye to visualise Solan's eyes and optic nerves. They were strained, but not bruised or anything which was odd. Perhaps the damage was elsewhere. So she continued her inspection, moving up to his brain. That's where the blockage was as far she could tell.
Kay opened her eyes and removed her hands. "There's a blockage in your mind and your eyes are strained. But that could've been from the blockage. I just can't tell if it's a mental blockage that manifested into physical, or if it was from the crash. Not yet anyways. But we'll get to the bottom of it and fix it." She was hopeful as always. Good always comes from the bad.

"Mental Blockage..." He turned his head to the side and thought for a few moments, confused what she could mean. "Go ahead and try." He wasn't sure what it was that she had found and he was curious how she would go about tending to the blockage. It was something that he hadn't thought about. He himself had been maintaining the nerves to a degree that could be repaired but if the eyes were just strained what was it that was cutting out his vision.
"Wait, Kay, have you ever heard of a mental blockage causing anything like this? I haven't myself..." He thought over everything he knew about the human body. Perhaps that mental blockage was why his mother could never see and was permanently blind. Did he just develop the same issue his mother had had before him due to their Miralukan ancestry.

"The mind and body can be puzzling at times. I know that occasionally when I really need some sleep, my body will often trick me into thinking that I have the flu, for it knows that whenever I do have the flu, I always sleep it off. Maybe you're going through something just like that."
Kay chewed the inside of her cheek as she pondered for a moment. "Did anything happen in the last few days or so before we crashed that was a little too much to handle? I know that you have been through a lot. Your mind might be protecting you from what it doesn't want you to see. Maybe it's the dead?"

"Not sure... if my mind is protecting me from the dead that should have passed by now come to think of it. My Empathy hooks onto those that are dead or dying sure, trying to relieve their pain out of habit but its not something that i really come to understand to a high level. I just.. can. But what im curious by is why if it is a mental block that it is in place. Ive been around death before, much more than this, and ive always come out fine. Always better actually..." He blinked though he could not see, staring in the direction of the ground as he turned his head and looked at her as he thought about it. "Can you look into my head, in any way that could allow you to figure out why the block is there?"
He was curious... no that would be too easy a word. He was intrigued by what it was that stole his eyesight. He had been in situations worse than this... it couldn't be something so simple as the death around him. No there had to have been a stronger reason for such things that had occurred and he was more than confused. He thought, thinking back the minutes and the hours, the days, the weeks. Back months and years. But he had never lost his sight like this before. He had an itch in his head though, like he was missing something... obvious.

Kay thought about it. She had never really delved into anyone's mind before. It was far too personal, holding a person's inner most secrets inside and she had never even considered doing it.
"Maybe I should try to lessen the blockage physically before I attempt to go into your mind. I don't want to risk messing with your neural pathways just yet. It could open a floodgate that we don't know how to close, especially with you being an empath." The reverse could always happen too, that instead of her trying to access his blocked memories, he could access hers. It was a possibility.
She once again placed her hands over his eyes and closed her own, putting her focus on the Force and the part of his brain where his optic nerves connected. Ever so carefully she began the slow process of shrinking the cells to allow information to flow. Her breathing slowed to a deep sleep pace and her body appeared not to move, similar to Solan's reaction when he warmed up the wall in the room, only she didn't look dead, but instead looked like a living statue. The first treatment on his eyesight has begun.

He nodded. She was right about delving into one's mind. He himself had done it numerous times, cut through the memories and thoughts which left impressions on him. It was difficult enough for him that he knew just how hard it could be for others who had never done such before. Sow when she spoke the words as to lessening the blockage physically he nodded. It was a good idea, reducing the risk for both of them, and he wasn't truly sure if he wanted to take that risk, step off and fall. It was a thought that actually did scare him all so slightly.
As she placed her hands over his eyes he let his body calm down. His heart would slow and his mind would remain open... well mostly. The mental blockage preventing such of course. But as she worked solan waited, his own body still as stone. But not for the same reasons, his body was still as stone in hope, in anticipation. It was so much to wait for that he was unsure of just how to react if it did work in the end. So he was still out of worry. That they could make something worse or even permanently remove his eyesight. Even if he could see without it, he would never see the colors of the world like before.

An hour went by before she finished the first treatment. Working on such a delicate area took time and a lot of energy. But at least she was partly done. He should be able to see a bit of light at least.
She opened her eyes and removed her hands, her body stiff from standing still for so long. Kay welcomed the chair as she sat back into it, rubbing her arms, neck, shoulders and legs to ease the stiffness.
"Well...what do you see? I hope that it's working. This is the first time that I've tried restoring someone's sight." Hopefully it'll have worked and his sight will continue to improve. She didn't know about his family history or if it was hereditary.

He sat there silently, his eyes staring at the back of the lids that closed on them, lending his own energy to the process to help her. His hands closing in his lap as he slowly waited for her to reconnect each ending and then retract her hands from his own eyes. Blinking he strained his eyes and looked around. At first it was still dark, his eyes staring at the nothingness. His hands went to his eyes, rubbing them and holding his hand out infront of him. Staring at nothingness he had an idea and breathed in before letting the spark of a flame appear in his hand before the light of it started to appear as a tine, very faint light. "Yes... very small though. But its working." He smiled and his hand closed to cut out the flame as he looked at her with a smile. "Thank you Kay."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was working. She reached over and grabbed her satchel, gathering her small kettle and prepared a couple of cups of tea, resting the empty cups on her lap. Kay held the kettle with water out to Solan, within his reach. "You're welcome. Would you mind heating up the water for me? I think that we deserve hot tea today."
And afterwards she was going to have to star going through the bodies and removing them. If they were going to be able to fix the ship and get out of there, it needed to be as light as possible.

"Sure.." He grabbed at the kettle than stopped before he did something stupid. "Is there anything i can st this on, like a wire platform or something?" He looked in her direction as he continued. "While i can heat something up or even stick my hand into flames it requires me to remove the heat from the equation atleast in the immediate area. I cant do that if im holding an object that i need to make warm throughout the entire seurface. I still do burn of course." He smiled at her as he looked at his hands and rather the gloves that were still there. Setting the Kettle down for a moment he pulled the gloves off and showed her his skin which was scarred from past burns. "Learning the power takes alot of pain."

Kay dug into her satchel and brought out a small retractable tripod of sorts that she used to hang her kettle over a fire with. "I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself over a couple of cups of tea..." Oh but she wanted it. The tea was her own little addiction, her crutch, her comfort. It was a constant companion and she was always sure to have more than enough of a supply. Thank goodness tea leaves were so lightweight!
As he worked on heating the water, she brought out a couple of ration bars, leaving one beside Solan and unwrapping hers before she began to eat it, grinning as she pretended that they were the best tasting things in the galaxy. "You never would expect survival kits to carry the best in high quality foods such as these. Why, I could just eat them all day!" For the first time in what feels to be ages, Kay started to laugh.

He smiled and hooked the kettle in its place, smiling up at her and turning his head. "Oh come now, its obvious you love the tea by how much you've given it to me. Only right i repay that with a warm glass for yourself one of these times. Otherwise, we would have a much larger problem on our hands. Would we not? Tea withdrawal is such a horrible way to die. I ear people start cooking anything that looks like a leaf and then start to see things." He couldn't help himself as she started to laugh when she mentioned the energy bars too. Why not, better than being glum.
"As for these energy bars, they were made in the five star kitchens on Alderaan, before the whole Vong thing. They are some of the most expensive and high quality bars in the galaxy. Better than almost anything you would eat in some restaurant." He leaned back and started to work on heating the kettle as he closed his eyes. Though the smile would remain, it was good to be happy, especially in a situation like this.

Yes, it was better to find humour in almost any situation and it was rather fitting that they both could do so right now. It meant that their predicament hasn't destroyed their spirits just yet. Kay cracked up even more at his jest about tea withdrawal, as well as his description of the ration bars. She put on a stuffy, snob-nosed, food critique voice, "Oh yes. Made from the finest ingredients for the most sophisticated of pallets." Laughter felt so good. It was a great aid when it came to healing too.
As the kettle finished heating, she poured the tea, offering Solan his cup first. She then cradled her own cup in her hands and closed her eyes as she sipped it. Kay refrained from telling him about the food she had found, wanting to spare it and keep it as a surprise after their work of removing and burying the bodies was finished, as well as for when Solan could see again. Then they could have a proper fire, weather permitting, and cook without him using his energy.
Kay opened her eyes as she thought ahead. So far so good. No danger other than the elements, no other forms of life nearby for the moment. That was a good thing for neither of them were prepared to defend themselves from enemies right now. Of course that led to a question, "How good are you at mechanics? I know some basics, but not enough to fix this ship by myself."

He smiled with her and leaned back as he was done, his hand working to unwrap the bar himself and eat it. He made a point of highly exaggerated how it tasted. As if he just had ambrosia straight from the heavens. Taking stock of the situation though he had a feeling they were going to run out of the food sooner or later. And the faster that his eyes were healed the quicker they could go about getting out of here.
He sighed but finished the bar just as she gave him the cup. He was still smiling mind you, but it was a sad smile now as he sat there. How long would it take to get them out of here, where was here even. Would someone come for them sooner or later or would his place be here from now on. He had to get back to Kesh, and to Evania. Make sure it was safe and so was his daughter. The thoughts that someone would take their chance to do away with it would be... 'How good are you at Mechanics.'
The words cut his train of thought short as he looked up and in her direction, thinking for a few long moments. "I actually make part of my living through my job within a ship building company. Is the damage that bad?" He raised a brow and he thought about it. Unless there was any extensive external damage or the reactor was beyond repair, he should be able to keep her running enough. He smiled, thinking about how to fix what he knew was probably knocked out. IF he could just see right he could do this with his eyes closed... figuratively of course.
