Dash was slowly on the mend. The finest medical care money could buy had made a good job of his injuries and only the stab wound on his right breast would leave a lasting scar. Still, the doctors said to take it easy, warning that the internal damage would take longer to heal.
But Dash was done taking life steady, nearly dying had a way of making you reassess. He was going to treat his duties a lot more seriously, that was for sure. But when he was off duty, well he was going to live like he never had.
He was also done doing things in half measures, which was why he turned up to the party in two tight pieces that he absolutely loved. His bare abs in between didn't look too bad either, especially after a few weeks of just picking at hospital food. He was feeling lean, mean and ready to get back out there.
No one probably expected him to be there, given all that had happened, but he didn't mind getting the jump on certain people. Others were a welcome sight; no party was complete without Maura after all (@lizziie ), though he gathered it was the young Kiffar girl (@Wit ) who was the organiser this time. He would have to make friends with that one.
He even thought he spied Master Hera (@Black Noise ) over the way. The older Jedi was one of the few who could blend in with the Padawans, but Dash was glad she was here. He would never quite feel completely safe ever again and Hera was a reassuring presence, even amongst many Jedi.
He wove his way inevitably towards that familiar black-haired head, belonging to a figure in the sharpest clothes around. Well, except his own. Approaching from behind Ezra, his thumbs hooked in the loops of his very low jeans, Dash drew close just in time to hear his boyfriend's quips to Vand and Ferrin.
Saying nothing just yet, the Rhinnalian hovered between two groups, watching silently as Ezra aced the darts and then handed the blindfold to the Pantoran (@Altaris ). Ferrin looked pretty incredible and Dash half hoped he would best Ezra. Blueboy had been through worse than him in a way and deserved a win.
"Go for it Ferrin" he shouted, rather over enthusiastically. "Show Snez-Ez here how it's done!"
