Searching for Stephanie

There was a soft flash of light in a corner of the cantina, and a tall woman appeared, her pale blue eyes scanning the room as she stepped forward on strong bare feet. Failing to see or sense the one she sought, she cocked her head and listened further, her white hair shadowing her face slightly as a breeze from the open terrace doors moved the skirt and sleeves of her dress.

-Stephanie?- she called. -Are you still here? There are people who need healing, and stuff that needs fixing.-

The air began to shimmer, and slowly a form materialized in front of her.

Stephanie's feet touched the floor, the curls of her hair floating across her face as she entered the new universe and looked around, eyes vacant and posture deflated.

"Yes?"

"With what?" she asked blankly, obviously sheilding herself from both outside thoughts and feilings.

"Alright," she said softly. "What people?"

Stephanie took a step backwards, eyes widening, before sitting, trying to work up the courage to go forward, as her duty dictated.

Hre shoulders trembled slightly, but she nodded and stood.

"I will help. Of... of course I will," she said softly, forcing the words out.

"I need to honor my promise to help," she said, forcing down the lump. "I can't turn my back on people in trouble."

"I'm fine," her jaw tightened, then frowned as Troy walked through the door, stopping and starting.

"Stephanie?" he said, then went slackjawed. "Uh.. but Kale said... um, aren't you supposed to be... you know... chilling out?"

Stephanie just stared at him.

-It's ok,- he said, projecting comfort.

"I'm still here," she said, eyes glistening. "And I can still help people."

"Yeah," Troy blushed. "But... I don't know... maybe a break would do you good."

"I'm fine," she said, voice soft but full of determination.

"Yes. That was good," he nodded. "Maybe Maya..."

"No! I can do it!" Stephanie snapped. troy flinched, then nodded.

"Alright," he said softly. "I'll come too. Where did you leave them?"

"Kashyyyk," Stephanie said softly. "You didn't leave them on the forest floor, did you?"

"Oh. Not sure," Troy blinked. "I've known a few."

"I think I know the place," Stephanie said softly.

"Good," Troy looked happier.

"We need to go, make sure they're all safe first and foremost. Then they need to establish a new home without negitively affecting the new universe... that may be harder. Then..." he paused. "That's the real hard part. Which I'm usually not allowed to attempt."

"That's when we begin the real healing," Stephanie whispered, eyes going foggy and distant. Troy winced, but nodded and looked at Scylla, silently urging her to not discourage Stephanie agian.

"Then we should go and see what we can do," Troy said, offering his hands to both girls. "I'll get us there."
