Pyrondi rushed to Carvia's cot where he lay barely conscious. Bacta covered so much of his face that it was impossible to emote upon seeing her. The Grysk bomb had detonated too close to his unit.

"Hey, Major," Pyrondi whispered, careful not to wake the sleeping troopers surrounding them. "This is from the whole bridge crew."

She laid the basket of chocolate, sweets, chips, and well wishes on the table next to Carvia. He nodded his appreciation, then struggled to speak around the bacta patches. "But you came to deliver it. Something you want to tell me, Lieutenant?"

She blushed.


After Pyrondi left, Carvia dug through the care package. Inside were notes he couldn't read, food he couldn't chew, and a Tooka picture. The last item caught his eye, and he pulled it closer.

It was Pyrondi's own pet, Bean. He recognized the Tooka from the stripes on her legs and nose. On the back was a note. The writing was so neat and large that he could read it even now.

"Bean cuddles me when I'm hurt. Now he's here to give you our love. Get well soon!

-LP"

Carvia smiled, then winced. It hurt to move his face


A/N's: I've been informed by people on Tumblr that contrary to what I grew up with, a drabble must be exactly 100 words to qualify as such. Anything longer than 100 words but shorter than 1,000 is a ficlet. So this is a set of twin drabbles and last chapter was a ficlet, I guess.

Anyway, this goes out to my friends recovering from surgery today. Wishing you the best!
