[ She sort of absently nods, he's speaking but it's not some loud pained declaration so her mind doesn't immediately pull focus from the task at hand. It takes a couple moments for the words to process and though she doesn't pull her eyes away from what she's doing, afraid if she does it'll weaken her focus on trying to heal him, she does finally respond. ]
I promise. For you, I'll always try.
[ The words still come out kind of choked but this time it's as much because of her worry and fear over losing him as it is from pain. She's healed herself in the past, in those darker days, and she's healed minor wounds in others, but this? This is far beyond anything she's tried in the past. Some little voice in the back of her mind -- doubt, probably -- scolds that she shouldn't have bothered when she doesn't know what the cost could be.
Except her heart knows there's no cost too great. She still kind of owed him, after all. A life for a life.
Jasmine wishes she could see what progress is being made but she doesn't dare move her hands. She trusts the Force and It knows her intent, and she can feel that a difference is being made. His breathing sounds steadier and his heartbeat feels stronger. If she can at least do enough to get him to safety and to the medics then it'll all be okay.
Her body sways as the pain grows within her but the Force steadies her and she stays focused. Pain is only temporary. Pain can provide strength. No. That voice gets swiftly silenced by the light. She wouldn't turn to that. Not here, not now, not ever again. ]
oh look i finally made time to return to this heartbreak
