When Rakata called the light to his hand and converted it into a small but intense fire, TJ stuck her finger directly into the center of the burning sphere, making a face as she did so. When she withdrew it, it was charred to the bone, and she grinned as the bone, skin, and nerve tissue began to regenerate into a fully-formed, fully-functional new fingertip.
"Well, energy manipulation is cool. And you're a psychic too?" she said, lifting her eyebrows. "That must be convenient, huh? I guess you already knew I was gonna smear my blood all over your open wounds, then.... Well, good. Less for me to have to explain. Here, sit up, my leg's falling asleep." She helped Rakata into a full sitting position, and brought her knees up to her chest. "You know, you could probably use someone like me around, so if you go all 'raw energy' on us again I can get close enough to do something about it."

"Wow, this runs way deeper than I thought," TJ said quietly, letting out a sigh. Despite herself, she began to feel a little guilty for jumping to conclusions about him before. Sure, her dad never came around much anymore, and her mom was usually a nervous wreck, but at least she still had them. And anyway, even with them around, she still got into fights and caused a scene practically wherever she went.
"You know, I don't think anybody ever really heals after something like that. I don't think even I'd be able to heal from it. It's like... I don't know. Sorry. I've got no idea what I'm talking about; I'm trying to be empathetic but I've never had anything like that happen to me before."
After a pause, she asked, "Do you know who did it? I mean, maybe you could get some revenge. Or closure, at least."

"Rakata, I know this isn't going to stop you from feeling guilty or anything, but you didn't do your father or your family any wrong, and even if you had they loved you, and would have long since forgiven you."
She sighed again, and took up his arm, examining a gash that she hadn't noticed before. Biting open her finger once more, she mixed a drop of her blood with his and watched the wound heal up. It was easier than watching the pain move across Rakata's face. "So... you've got no idea where they came from? I mean, if it was a job, like you said, and that's what it sounds like, then someone must have hired them-- Ugh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't keep pressing this. It's just... I don't know. Just tell me if you want me to shut up, okay? I've got a habit of running my mouth off to no end when I'm not fighting."
Suddenly it dawned on her that her notebook was still in Alex's room, and she still hadn't figured out what it said. "Hey, when you're ready to move, can I show you something?"
((Ooh, I gtg-- dinnertime!!))
