[ Nine months. Chise had been in that terrible cold for nine months before chance and circumstance either righted what wrongs had been done to her - or created a new set of problems. The way it had explained to before this all began was that Sith holocrons were ancient repositories of knowledge of the Dark side of the Force capable of containing this information for millennia. As what happened with anything with age they tended to get bit...funny. Even willful if sentience could be applied to them. Possessing this new information, Chise was less than thrilled to learn that even though she and Ren technically weren't Sith the Supreme Leader was still having them investigate the ruins of an old Temple in wild space. Where it concerned the likes of Snoke, Chise learned to keep her down and bear with it. Even if it was being hauled onto a shuttle that frightened here every time during take up and carted half across the known galaxy to a crumbling old forest moon covered in weeds and ghosts.
The last thing any of them had anticipated was for Chise to have gone ballistic on the return mission. Lashing out like a cornered animal when Snoke had casually dropped that with the holocron in his possession it was time for Ren to begin the final stages of his training - with Chise to be locked away under guard in the meantime. It was a terrible, suffocating thing to tap into so much raw power that surrounded her. Deeper, not wider She remembered before she was drowning in all that directionless, consuming power. It and everything around her faded away. Spilling like water between her fingers. ]
Do you think he'll wake up today?
[ That had been nearing two weeks ago. To her, it was almost comical to be put in the same situation the last time she overexerted herself only now in reverse. Whatever she had done within the depths of Snoke's citadel...it had taken all of her surrounding energy. For a flickering moment she had become almost a wound in the Force. Ren was the first and maybe only casualty when Chise found themselves splayed out several yards off from a little English countryside home she never thought she would see again. As with the last time with Chise, Ren had been plunged into an unnatural sleep that had now lasted for several days. It took some convincing through all the reunions for Elias to do two things: Not kill Ren, and also save him.
Chise traveled out to the forest grove where they had last kept her. Seeing Kylo Ren sleeping seemingly peacefully in the cradle of an old oak tree's wide roots. A family of curious cotton flies surrounded him. Above, in the tall branches she could see Elias in his quadrupedal form stalking along the heavy leaves of summer. Her teacher was not pleased with his new addition and made it known at every turn, but Chise remained convinced of one thing: Ren had been her only friend, albiet reluctantly, in that terrible place. She would do the same for him, and take him into their home. Elias hemming and hawing over the issue be damned.
Crouching next to the low hanging bed of roots padded with thick summer grasses and a blanket Silky quilted, Chise watched for any sign Ren would wake up. She could see his eyes flutter and her heart began to race - just in time to see something jump out of the corner of her eye. ]
Elias - don't!
[ Chise hurled herself practically over Ren when Elias came down at the base of the tree. Grown back to full, semi-human form with his terrible bone maw clacking and hissing menacingly. She could keep him at bay but it would help immensely if Ren didn't cause a scene once he was awake. ]
THE AU OF THE AU: well well how the turn tables
