Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
Who: Olive, Galen – then later Harry D. and Luke
What: Olive and Galen are participating in that time honored rite of teenage passage: car crashes!
When: Late Monday evening
Where: Starts somewhere downtown and only gets better from there
Rating/Warnings: Umm, probably some swearing
Status: In progress/Closed

Everything settled back down, position right side up gyroscopically speaking, with that stomaching-dropping creaking sound of metal bending.

“Oh god!” were the first words out of Olive’s mouth that had shape and meaning beyond a sustained scream. And then she remembered to breathe because somewhere back where the car had skidded on the slick, summer rain damp surface of the road and had clipped the curb, setting in motion the series of events that ended with the car crumpled at the base of some park statue she’d either forgotten or lost the ability to draw in air.

“OH MY GOD!” It seemed to be the only words in her repertoire just then.

Slowly she started processing more than the deflating airbag and spider-webbed sight of the windshield in front of her. Limbs? Check – such a thing needed to be checked when assessing the damages of an accident near a Force-user. Head, check, still on her shoulders. Could she move? Check. So no broken neck, thank the stars above. Sore, check. But alive, thanks to the seatbelt locking her firmly in place, and that airbag, though she was sure she would have thoughts, and bruises about both later. Galen – She looked quickly to her left at her companion. Check.

“Oh my god?” This time a bit of a whimper laced her tone. She wanted to ask if he was alright but she just couldn’t form the words just then, her mind was stuck and needed some more time to process all that had just happened. So she questioned with the shocked look on her face, thinking maybe that was enough for right now.

Luke nodded, senses stroking over the other to feel his condition and he nodded. As he felt that unease and both the truth and not truth of it, he nodded again. "We can talk about that more later."

He glanced around then back at Galen. "As long as you two are alright, then I'm glad. The car and the damages can be a thought for another time. One we can discuss while sparring once you are completely healed."

Galen was grateful Luke wasn't pressing the issue of the whole 'not quite the truth' answer. Galen knew that Luke probably sensed more than what he was telling the older man but still, he seemed very laid back and not too upset. At least for now.

"Later," he agreed. As Luke spoke of the car and damages he nodded some. Though when he mentioned being completely healed before sparring again, he gave a slight smirk. "I've fought in far worse condition than I'm in now," he returned. He wasn't bragging, it was the simple truth.

Luke smiled in return. Good, Galen retained his spirit. It had not been crushed by this. Sometimes trauma did that.

He glanced around.

"Then we can start sparring in the morning and discussing this in more detail. But you should have food and a good night's sleep before that. Whether or not you've been through a hundred battles, you still had a shock, and that's never good for the system."

He glanced toward where Harry and Olive were. "How is your companion?"

Galen resisted the urge to roll his eyes some at Luke's words, oblivious at how very much like a teenager that would make him. He was use to shock. But he stayed silent and just gave a nod at Luke's words of when they'd spar next.

When Luke glanced to Harry and Olive, Galen followed and shrugged. "She seems okay but I think it's the shock from making her be too upset." That was as much as he could figure at least. "At least for the moment." He gave another shrug. "She seems tough though."

"Good. I'll take a look." He glanced at Galan. "Do you have the talent of life scan, and were you ever taught how to use the Force to scan someone a little more deeply? I'm nowhere as good as most healers, but I learned a little along the way. If you like, I'll show you what I know there, too."

He had a lot of flaws, and he was hoping to pass only strengths on to Galen.

"I'm glad you're both okay."

About then. Harry led Olive back to them, and nodded. "Let's get out of here. I thought we could pick up pizzas on the way back, so everyone can have a bite to eat, and just go home." Or the closest thing to it.

Harry's eyes turned to Galen and he smiled. "Are you okay?" While Galen wasn't his charge, he always looked out.

Olive followed behind Harry, grateful for someone to take the reins. She nodded her agreement to Harry's plan. While she might not be hungry, she wasn't about to argue with the adults who were willing to take her away from the police station without so much as an angry scowl. She could down a few slices for that alone. And

"I'm ready to be placated into recounting our night of daring adventure." She forced a smile mostly for Galen, a reassurance that this wasn't a dangerous suggestion to fight against.
