It was a couple days later when Kit got out of the tank. And with all the time half dazed and unmoving in the pale blue liquid, it was a releif to stand on his feet, no matter how unsteady he felt. At first he was just cracking joints joints and popping his spine to rid himself of the stiffness he felt. Body loosened, he started to wander around the room, and soon into other rooms, knocking first so he was sure he was allowed to enter.

At first, when he came to on the sleep couch and in a tunic and pants, he didn't know what to think. His chest was still a little sore, but there wasn't a scar. Maybe the healer wanted him to move around. He didn't know, but his only thought at the moment was that he had to see how Aayla was doing.

When he found her, he felt calmer. She was there, sitting on a sleep couch and looking to a wall. Upon him entering, she looked straight over to him. "Kit!" Next thing he knew, he had her with her arms around his neck face nuzzled under his chin. He calmly pet her lekku and kept a hand wrapped around her waist.

"Aayla, I came to see how you were feeling." He told her. "But seeing as you were able to jump across the room at the sight of me, I shouldn't be worried."

She looked up and smiled, "Yes, I'm feeling a lot better. I heard you were stabbed and I was wondering if you were alright."

"It's true, I was." He chuckled. "But I'm better, and glad to be out of a bacta tank."

The Twi-lek almost giggled as she smiled into his shoulder. No one was there with them, they wouldn't see anything. Right? He lifted Aayla's chin and lightly peaked her lips. She slowly pulled away. He could feel her trembling.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing..." She told him as she slipped back to the sleep couch. "I'm just worried."

"About?"

"I heard how bad Master Ti is, and that Obi-Wan is currently going through an extraction on his jaw, I don't know why." She explained.

"I see." Kit replied calmly. "We could see them."

"Maybe." She shrugged.

The healer was just finishing her work when Aayla and Kit both entered. At first, she didn't notice, but as they continued to stand there watching as she covered the glued skin on the edge of Obi-Wan's jaw with a bandage, she took note of them. Then sighed heavily. "Aayla, shouldn't you be resting? And Kit, I thought I told you that you have to take it easy until that wound of yours is healed."

"Yes, we know." Kit answered. "It's just that we felt like we should check up on Obi-Wan and Shaak Ti-"

"You can't." She told him bluntly, she hadn't even looked away from her work. Obi-Wan instead casted Kit a look that showed he knew nothing.

"Pardon?"

"You can't see Master Ti." She repeated. "She is still very weak and must rest if she is to regain her strength."

"I understand." He nodded slowly. "But-?"

"So I was missed after all?"

With that, Obi-Wan's eyes were wide and everyone turned around to see Shaak Ti standing in the doorway. She still looked very sickly, but the black webbing lines of veins was gone, and the purple skin was beginning to look more of the healthy crimson it should be. Though it was clear by some provinate dark circles that she hadn't been sleeping well.

"Master Shaak Ti!" The healer exclaimed. "What are you doing out of bed?"

Shaak smiled, showing her sharp canines. Normally she never smiled. Her sense of humor usually a small chuckle and a smirk, but that was usually it. And here she was smiling. "I felt I should stretch my legs a little."

"Please..." The healer sounded conserned. "Go back to bed."

"But I feel fine." The Togruta disagreed. Another small and out of character behavour, she rarely argued. This was certainly strange.

The healer narrowed her eyes. "You say that but you're probably going to collapse."

"I won't collapse." She assured.

"Yes you will!"

Obi-Wan, holding his jaw, came into the dispute. "Maybe Master Ti could just sit down. She is still resting, but doesn't have to go back to bed."

Both the healer and Shaak Ti glared at him for butting in. Now the healer, sure it wasn't very good to get on her bad side. But Shaak Ti... well... actually, come to think of it, it's pretty freaking hard to get on her bad side! Now this all comes back to odd behavour, she NEVER GLARES either!

All these small clues were starting to come together. That's when Kit put it all together, just as he sensed fear and greed pulse from Shaak Ti. He pulled out his lightsaber and held it at her neck. "Where is the real Master Ti?"

This made to supposed Togruta laugh as she shifted into a Clawdite. That male Clawdite! He's back... "So you finally caught on?" He again laughed. "Kind of disappointing, I thought that Jedi were suppost to be perceptive."

Kit didn't faulter. "Where. Is. She?"

"Your little friend is coming with me." He stated as he pulled out a small device, a red button! BOMB! "And if any of you attack me then this whole building will go up in flames."

DUN DUN DUN! What an interesting turn of events. You THINK that things are wrapping up, and then the Clawdite is back and is threatening to blow up the Temple. Terrific! :D
Shaak: So I'm captured again... -_-;
Me: Yup!
Kit: *facepalm* Are you serious? I want to just relax for a little while!
Aayla: Uncool...
Obi-Wan: Oh, I'm not the target anymore?
Me: No Obi-Wan, actually it was that chick (who is imprisioned now) who was hunting you. The Clawdite just wants moneyz.
Shaak: *heavy sigh* great...
