Okay so I had been a little more wound up than I first thought. The movies reminded me of that when I started cringing at the sound of Jar Jar's voice. There were few things that could move me to violence, but having to listen to that broken speech was one. The main reason is that mispronunciation is a pet peeve of mine. It was sure indicator of how badly wired I was that I was actually wishing that I could meet him face to face right now. Just so I could put him out of my misery.
Tionne was in a seemingly catatonic state as the movies wound on. The fact that this was more in-depth information that she would have ever gotten from the players involved probably had everything to do with it. Especially considering the fact that a majority of them were rather indisposed.
We were well into episode three when I the headache started. It gradually built until, around the scene in the asteroid in episode five, it was a full-blown migraine. I rushed to the 'fresher and emptied my stomach.
The background noise of the movie suddenly stopped. At the moment it did I realized it had been bothering my ears. I breathed a sigh of relief. Once I was situated comfortably with my cheek on the cool floor and my eyes shut tight against any light a soft voice cut into the silence. "Are you alright?"
"Just a migraine Tionne. You go ahead and finish up the movies. I'll just lay in here and rest."
"I'd rather that you get looked at by the healers. It isn't a common thing for people to do something like this here."
I gave her a weak smile. "It's all too common where I'm from. It just plain costs too much to go to the doctor for something that we know will pass with time."
"I insist. Besides it is free here. Not to mention that you are already in their area anyway."
"Room service hey." I smirked at her in an attempt at humor.
She smiles softly back and said "Rest here for now. I'll summon the healer." She palmed the door closed and left me in the blessed darkness of the 'fresher.
