Again Aayla seemed to get more out of that statement than just his words, and she scowled before pulling him into another hug, which he returned warmly. She pulled back grinning mischievously as she tapped him on the shoulder. "Tag, you're it!"
With that she ran off through the crystal spires. Harry blinked in surprise for a moment, then raced after her, laughing.
How long the two of them played in Harry's mind they didn't know, but suddenly they stopped, both of them staring upwards towards the shield which protected Harry's mind. Then they were outside, their mental projections floating on the eddies of the Unifying Force. Harry looked around wildly unable to understand what he was feeling, he hadn't yet gotten used to feeling things through the Force.
Aayla had however, and she smiled, turning in the direction she somehow knew their bodies to be from wherever their spirits were now. "Harry, I think it's time we return." She took his hand again, and…
Just like that the two of them were somewhere else, once again in their own bodies. Harry could feel his clothing on his body, the idea of full sensation returning to him. He could hear singing somewhere nearby and knew it was his mother humming.
He smiled at that, slowly opening his eyes to see his friends around him. Aayla was in a bed nearby opening her eyes just as he was, with a young woman he had never met before with elven ears and his friends Alecto and Wulo sitting up on a bed together nearby with two girls on another bed beside them.
"Harry!" Lily's humming cut off abruptly, and she suddenly leaned down into his line of sight, smiling at him. "How are you feeling, love?"
"I feel fine Mum," then he frowned suddenly sitting up abruptly as he looked at her.
Aayla had opened her eyes too and she gaped at Lily just like Harry. "What happened?" she shouted, "You're so see through!?"
"I did a little too much magic dears," Lily replied soothingly, holding her hands out to either of them. Being Force users they were able to take her hands, even as translucent as she was right now if they tried. "Nothing to worry yourselves over. I'm already markedly more solid-seeming than I was right afterwards."
Harry frowned, and he began to push his power into her slightly. Across from him Aayla noticed this, and did the same.
"No," the elven-looking woman said simply, holding up a finger and suddenly Harry and Aayla were both pushed backwards against their beds away from Lily. "I understand and approve the sentiment young ones, but neither of you have enough Force power within you right now to be so cavalier with it. Please do not make more work for us then you already have."
Harry scowled at the woman, but Lily nodded her head firmly. "I appreciate the thought Harry, Aayla. But she's right, you've been out for three days already recovering, that's more than enough for me!"
The two children looked at one another then back at her before Harry spoke. "Really? Three days? It didn't feel like that at all to us."
The last part of that comment caught Lily's attention, and she looked at Fay who looked back, shrugging her shoulders. Though she was smiling as she did it Lily noticed.
Harry looked past his mother now for a second smiling at his friends. Zule Xiss, the red-skinned Falleen girl who had become Aayla's closest friend, also smiled at him and Aayla. "Glad to see you all made it."
"Glad to see you two awake." Alecto said with a smile, hopping off the bed and moving over to grab Harry's hand in his before touching Aayla's shoulder as Zule hopped into bed with the younger Twi'lek girl, throwing an arm over her shoulder as Wulo clattered over on his small hooves smiling happily. The five of them all began to talk at once, telling one another what had happened during and after the fight, while Lily and the other two adult in the room looked on with smiles on their faces.
"Mum who are they?" Harry asked after the round of happy greetings were over gesturing to the newcomers.
"We're going to have to step up lessons on manners I think." Lily mused, while Fay and Micah laughed. "These are Master Fay and Master Giiett, they arrived with help and have been in here helping the children who suffered from Force exhaustion and other injuries ever since."
Harry frowned thoughtfully cocking his head to one side, noticing now that Alecto's shoulder had been healed as good as new. "I remember some kind of little green creature. I thought he was a house-elf at first from your descriptions of them, but he was using a lightsaber and was really bouncing around the place."
"That would be Master Yoda and yes, he does as you put it bounce around the place." Fay replied dryly, making a mental note to ask Lily about house elves sometime in the future. Moving over to the bed she lay a gentle hand on Harry's forehead, her palm over his scar. "That is his style of combat, which is based off the lightsaber form called Ataru, or Way of the Hawk Bat. His version has evolved into an odd mix of knowing precisely where he is supposed to be, and never being where you think he should be."
"That sounds really hard to master," Harry said, with Aayla nodding agreement.
"It is. Master Yoda is known as the greatest swordsman in the Order despite his advanced age." Fay smiled, taking hand away from Harry's forehead.
"Good, it looks as if your reserves are coming back very nicely. I would recommend not using any Force for a few more days, but you should be fine to move around. Now for you child," she finished moving over to Aayla smiling down at the girl who smiled up at the very pretty woman shyly.
Harry moved over to her bed, and Aayla threw an arm around his shoulders as Fay touched her hand to the Twi'lek girl's forehead. Aayla cocked her head thoughtfully as Fay moved on to run a gentle hand down her lekku. "Hugging like this feels different than doing it in our minds."
