"Can she walk, or do you gotta go with her?" Jamis asks from over by the food, "Or could I?"

"Well, first she needs to stand up- I suspect she hasn't walked in a while, so her legs may be a bit weak from disuse."

He turns back to Aleeka.

"Go ahead and stand up now.  I'll walk you to the 'fresher, but if it seems like you're walking alright I'm not gonna make you have someone in there with you."

An attempt at standing up is made, but Aleeka's legs prove to be too wobbly to hold even the weight of an underfed eight-year-old for long, a combination of the extended time she'd spent drugged and the drugs still affecting her, likely.

She consents to be carried and helped in the bathroom, with some disgruntlement.

He picks her up carefully, and carries her to the bathroom, then calls Jamis in to help her, stepping out and facing away, but not closing the door.

Bathroom features are put to use behind his back, and then they can take Aleeka back to the medbay.

"I want to eat something," Aleeka says once they're all back, "But I might be sick."

"You can try drinking some more of the water with hydration mix and wait to see if that makes you sick, or you can start eating slowly, while drinking water with it, and stop if you get sick.  I do have some anti-nausea drugs, if you'd like, but taking those before eating isn't always a good idea.  It can cause worse side effects, if the food is causing an actual problem."

"Jamis gave me some water with the mix-in after I woke up. It hasn't made me feel worse." She pauses, glancing at Jamis uncertainly, and then adds, "I can filter what I eat some. Master Scinna taught us before... If I eat only a very little bit I can tell if it will make me sick." Actual Jedi Padawans and Knights can actually eat some things that will make them sick, and get all the nutrients out of it that they can use. Aleeka can only check and then spit it out.

(Actual Jedi can filter drugs out of their bodies, too, but Aleeka hadn't thought she'd need to know that and neither had any of her masters.)

He hands her a bowl of soup- a thin broth with chunks of rehydrated meat and vegetables in it.
