Jaseb tried to keep his balance and unfortunately tipped his balance and fell forward instead onto his back, landing in Benny's arms.
Chevalier: Agh… It didn't turn out as I expected. Sorry.
Benny shook his head and smiled as he gently sat Chevalier back in the chair.
Cliffhigh: It’s fine, You did manage to stand up. You just need to get used to it.
As Jaseb settled into the chair, he reached for his crutch and gently brought it closer to him.
Chevalier: Every day, a little leap forward. But I must say, It’s more complicated than I anticipated.
Benny smiled and straightened Chevalier's leg as he raised it up.
Cliffhigh: I think this is enough of a session for today. I recommend you get some rest.
A grin spread across Jasob's face as he listened to Benny's words.
Chevalier: Did ever some of your patients listen to that advice, Chief? ::laugh:: But I have to admit that we totally blew me away.
Cliffhigh: I say you're making progress. It’s a difficult adjustment.
Chevalier: It should be easier. Especially for someone like me…
Benny grinned and lightly touched Chevalier's shoulder.
Cliffhigh: You will make it Ensign. Trust me I have seen enough injuries like this to know.
Chevalier: Okay, doctor. I'll take your word for it. So, tomorrow, same time?

Jaseb was nestled in a cocoon of blankets, his form barely discernible except for the slight movements as he shifted. Damien smiled softly and gently shut the door, granting the weary Jaseb the peace to rest undisturbed…
