Open Starlight Welcome Back

[Iorthunger Broadspear]

Flashes of memories and dancing thoughts come to a halt as the silence is once again broken by the twi'lek healer's words. Thunger's body jolts mildly as his mind returns the present - an incredibly difficult present moment.
Indeed, his physical health has improved drastically. A strange case of time displacement does not justify this occupation of a medical bed and further effort of the medical staff.

Thunger gently removes the medical equipment attached to his limbs, careful not to damage the devices should it be necessary to reuse on the next patient.
"Words are of no use to show my appreciation to you and your newly knighted padawan, my lady. Though, I sincerely hope to return a favor to you, shall you ever be in need."

He positions himself upright on the medical bed preparing to get up.
"Meditation without the company of a kaiburr crystal would amount to additional unproductive time." Acknowledging the advice of the healer.

Remaining on the medical bed and legs hanging above the floor, there is a brief pause. Iorthunger looks away and then back to the eyes of the healer knight.

" Ilum..." He names a planet that he once knew to be rich in these sacred resources. His words ring sharply in confidence of his hopeful destination to gather himself and reconstruct the necessities. Mainly, a new construction of a Jedi tool which could illuminate through the darkness, serve as warmth, and even defensive purposes - if ever necessary.

The centuries-old knight's feet make contact to the floor as he slowly rises. He gently reaches for the healer's arm.
"I do not want to overstay my welcome onboard this beacon. May I extend my debts to you by asking for transportation to the Ilum system?"

“No favors,” she settled. “This is my work. If anyone, thank Ashen.”

Of course, the next thing the man said had to be again the most unfortunate, so much Myrell almost laughed. Cruel irony.

“There is a lot you missed, Knight Broadspear,” she simply said. “For now, suffice it to say Ilum is no longer the Order’s primary source of kyber crystals. But there are others. Dantooine, Lothal. A contingent of padawans is about to embark on a journey to the caves of Burinjina for that purpose. We could arrange transportation.” Myrell frowned. “Though you will need to rest as your body requires.”

[Iorthunger Broadspear]

The presumed elder successfully bares the brunt of his own weight with his two feet. Standing in a slightly bent posture in efforts to not tower over the Healer, he makes an attempt to processes the Knight's words and body language as she fills him in. Thunger remembered only of the presence of kaiburr crystals in the Ilum system and the pilgrim moon of his beloved NiJedha. Another surprise for the time displaced Jedi Knight...

It would be of no justice to only describe his expression as puzzled or confused. Though, it would be exactly as one could imagine of someone waking up in a totally different era with a completely new reality and norms. Even the terminology in the common language is no longer common to him. Certainly his expressions speak louder than any words could at this moment.
Another pause as he massages his head as he continues to desperately try to understand the era of time he is now in and the state of the galaxy..

A slight effort of light humor as he continues to try to process the situation..
"It seems I fell asleep some generations before your existence, Knight Myrell. I have only now a awakened from this rest."
He fakes a smile before continuing.
"Certainly, more of it is not what I need."
Followed by an out-of-place chuckle.

Another pause followed by the true state of his being returning to a full display on his face.
"If my company would be welcomed to the new destination of kaiburr crystals - I would greatly appreciate to be in the presence of the Order."

Myrell came to assist him as he stood, but the knight looked like he could manage well enough on his own. His attempt at humor almost landed—perhaps it would have, if the aging healer wasn’t at work.

“Lethargy in itself can be tiring,” she simply said. Then she turned his words around on him. “So you have had generations to dream, Iorthunger Daeburn Broadspear. And now you are awake to make those dreams reality.”

“You are currently aboard Starlight Beacon, the closest thing the Order has to a home,” Myrell answered. “Feel their presence. Take a few days, perhaps. Meet your brothers and sisters in this new age. Ask questions. Then, you will be ready for a trip to the crystal caves. Welcome back, Knight Broadspear.” A faint smile.

Not thrilled by the healer's logic, Thunger leans his left ear towards her, clinging to every word. Her statement that this beacon is the closest thing the Order has for a home confirms that Broadspear has lifetimes of events to catch up on.
"Ach-To .... Coruscant..."
Thunger replies without much context in a puzzled tone, as he seemingly names the locations of historic Jedi temples.

The sophistication of this beacon is impressive; however, Thunger did not immediately find the same comfort here as he did in the previous homes of the Order that he once knew. His mind once again dances to images of hypothetical events which may have taken place in his absence. Unsure of what to make of this further confusing situation, he stands confused in front of the healer.

It would certainly be more characteristic of him to push to join the cave expedition immediately. Though, he chooses not to at this time, trusting the advice of Myrell'anay.

An effort is made to smile again but the lostness on his face cannot be hidden beneath his lips.
"Would you take me to them?"
Referring to his brothers and sisters within the order - in this incredibly confusing age of time - His voice is soothe in tone but shakes slightly and further displays his state of uncertainty.

“The caves? Mercy, no,” Myrell exclaimed. “The medbay will not run itself. Although I do leave on ventures occasionally...”

Like to illustrate her point, her comlink beeped intently again. At least she was done with the medical intervention.

“Apologies, Knight Broadspear. Any remaining numbness or discomfort from the carbonite should wane in the following hours. Do not hesitate to report any symptom you feel is unusual,” she instructed. “We can see about introducing you to the Council in the coming days. Unless you have additional concerns?”

@Iorthunger

 

[Iorthunger Broadspear]

His confusion and desire to understand these unknown times certainly do not outweigh the medical attention required by others onboard this floating medical facility. Afterall, it is his confusion and slow realization of reality which is the main source of his pain at this moment. In other words, the healer has done an excellent job on his physical form.

He nods respectively. Sensing the urgency in the healer's work and taking notice that he is not the only patient.
He will not continue his quivers of additional concerns, despite the healer's request.
Thank you, Knight Anay. If the council will be informed of my existence, that would be enough. I do not wish to cause further inconvenience.

He reaches for the robe given to him by the younger knight who brought him to this facility. As that is his only possession, he easily readies himself to leave the medical unit.
