Aayla hasn't been back to the hospital since she was released. It's not that she's avoiding Kate exactly, it's more that she needed a little time. Just some time to meditate and try and heal herself in ways the doctors couldn't. She needed privacy and space to find a way to deal with the hurt enough that she could go out again. To not want to hide herself away from the prying eyes of strangers.
She's still a mess of vivid bruises, and her lekku will take the longest to heal, so she keeps her cape on. The hood raised to hide the worst of the damage. And it's a simple enough thing to use the Force to make it so people don't want to look directly at her. So that their eyes slide off and away without ever truly registering her presence.
In truth, Aayla wishes she could stay locked away in the safety of her home for a few more days at least, but she owes Kate more than that. She owes herself more than that because she needs to see her. To lay eyes on her and know that she's truly going to be alright.
"I'm sorry I didn't come earlier," she says once she's closed the door to the private room behind her. "But I trust you've been well taken care of."
