Max?
I wandered the beach. I spotted some stranded rebels and went around the rock outcropping to talk to them. KARK! I walked right into a squad of stormtroopers! One was so startled he opened fire. I was caught in the crossfire and gunned down. A rebel novice medic dragged me back to the outpost and left me disoriented in the cloning facility (as it doubled as the med centre here).
Not wanting to ... disturb Maxell, feeling like... well... he... didn't want me. I commed Deomo. He chastized me for not being careful. Ok, I deserved that. Then I could not help my pain and confusion from flowing down the bond to Max. He jumped. He told me he was coming to me and for me to not go anywhere.
Honney commed me then and told me to reach Max... that he was drunk and going home with Ebe, and that he didn't want to ... do anything stupid... wanted me to contact him. I must have been shot in the head. It sure felt like that.
He arriced as I staggerd to the starport. There he healed me... But he was so clearly depressed and confused and frustrated. Need called me, stirred me. I knew I had to do something... and... I was fairly certain I knew what to do. He looked as lost as I had felt moments ago.
Max, let's go. I know this wonderful place... a pool in Hendola that someone very very dear to me had shown me. Let's go there... and talk.
He smiles, remembering.
We traveled out there and sat on the carpet and talked. Talked for hours. We talked of his experience under arrest. he growled, still with the feral stong about him. He ranked Deomo with Cauil. I had to set that record straight right away. He didn't realize. But then, considering what was happening to him, how could he? He asked me about the rescue, how I pulled it off. I explained that I was busy from day one frantically making contacts, trying to secure help and reassure his other family (Ebe and Avios). I told him of Janet and the others, of my surprise at the jedi that was among us... I didn't know he was! *smile* As I described the events of the rescue and how we were frantic and yet they took my orders in stride and in the end it all worked out. He became more relaxed... and ... glowed. *smile* You gave out orders? Did I say that? He was watching me with such pride... I suddenly felt shy... not embarrased like I want to hide, but a bit shy.
So I changed the subject.
I wanted to hear from him. What had happened, why he was out with Honney, and what was going through his mind. He feels lost. His career is essentially in the trash shute and has been spaced. He has no idea what he wants to do. Then I thought of the whispers I woke to in the temple. Maybe... maybe HE really needed to hear them, not I?
