Three days of sleeping, hurting, healing, feeling sorry for himself. They hadn't been terribly good days, to say the least, and being stuck in a medbay again a few mere months after the damage he had taken at Starkiller Base sure didn't make it any more palatable.
And yet he would have been perfectly happy sleeping and healing for another couple of days, if only to avoid the conversation he could see coming as soon as he caught sight of Raine approaching his bed. She would know that he was feeling better, and... Well, that meant it was time for consequences. More like, Consequences with a capital C.
To have a master who cared to wait till he felt up to their chiding was bizarre enough, yet odder that he felt reasonably confident it would remain at words. She didn't seem the type to heal damage only to inflict it all over again, or so he tried to tell himself.
He looked right into her eyes when she approached him. Better to get it over with. He'd never liked waiting games. "You've got to be furious."
