Ss'ss'th would have screamed but that function was robbed from him. He would have squirmed, but that too was stolen. He had experienced pain, true pain, on physical and emotional levels. Nothing on the physical scare compared to this. It was a very good thing that Vex had taken control, otherwise he would have whipped about and involunterally crushed his form into bits.
He could feel the bones moving, stretching, snapping. It felt like they were being splintered and broken, but instead it served the purpose of fixing the bones. He felt muscle tissue ripping and spreading, but somehow they were knitting. The feel of the scale plating sliding back into place was the most unbearable. Like the nerves attatched to the bottom of a human fingernail, and he could feel it cracking and crushing and pulling apart, as if somehow all three methods of destruction were being inflicted at once.
Yet Ss'ss'th could bare no hatred for Vexalar. Soon, the process had finished. The pain lingered for a while longer, but like all physical pain, it would only be a memory. He made a quick mental note never to let a Jedi heal him again. In this case it was the only option, with no knowledge of local remedies and no truly useful imported goods, he could not have saved himself by medical means.
He wanted to lay down and rest, but found that Vex still had control of his ability to do so. He was exhausted. He was weak. The last thing he wanted to do was have to do anything. And now his body would not be allowed to rest.
Aunna asked his name. He hardly registered it in his head. Everything was becoming a messy blur in his mind. He thought about was his name was, but he could not answer her question. Ss'ss'th's brain was turning into mush, slowly but surely. He would not be able to hold his consciousness for very long. And yet he simply couldn't not hold consciousness. It was almost infuriating to the snake. Pain still lingered, he was tired, and there was an unanswered question directed at him.
Vex had better release him soon, was all he could think. Why hadn't he released control yet? The only reason Ss'ss'th could conjure would be to ask questions of him. Fine enough. Ss'ss'th had questions as well, but they were for Aunna.
