Gradually, Kyp felt Jaina slip in and out of consciousness during the few hours that Feng had been maneuvering the vessel away from Yuuzhan Vong space. A hand touched his arm, startling him just a hair, but Kyp did not dare take his eyes off the woman who was fading. "Yeah?"
"You should tend to your own wounds. If you don't, there's no telling if y—"
"I need to take care of Jaina." He firmly answered.
"I'll watch over her," Feng's voice was sincere and slightly worried.
Kyp waited minutes before he answered. "I know you will, but I can't. I am using the Force to put her into a healing trance so she will not have to feel the pain and heal faster. If I don't she'll die." He paused as if the realization scarred his soul's core worry. "How much longer till we reach the Errant Venture?"
"A couple more hours. I'll notify you once we do reach the ship." Feng turned away and began walking out of the small living chambers.
