As she lay there thinking, her peace seemed destined to be short-lived. Not long after she had arrived, she heard someone come up and then stop. Blinking at the sudden shadow over her, she opened her eyes slowly. Blinking, she found herself staring up into the face of a scruffy bearded dragonrider. He seemed really concerned, and she realized she must look like death. Sighing, she struggled herself into a sitting position, almost groaning.
"No worries, rider," she murmured politely, inclining her head. "I'm fine...recovering for a rather unfortunate fig- uh, accident in the Weyr last night." She had been told not to make a big deal out of the whole affair, another level of anger that pulsed through her. Still seeing the fear and worry on her face, she scrunched her nose, her fingers playing with a loose strand of hair.
"Shards, it wasn't no accident...the bigger 'Brats were picking on a little'n, so I stopped them. No one bullies other people under my watch." She muttered this in a lower voice, eyes cautiously meeting his own. The rider might roll his eyes and tell her she was dumb - it was well within their rights to do so. And maybe they were right. But she wasn't going to stop defending those who needed it, no matter who said what. "Sorry you tripped over me...I had to limp out here to get here, and I just wanted a quiet place to hide away. I'm sorry if I stopped any plans you had.."
