Welcome to Gaia! ::

Faleen had been given a new Grunt uniform, since her last one had been severely bled on and apparently cut off of her once she had been brought back here. It wasn’t easy to change into, since her range of movement was limited, but had managed alright on her own, some of her casual clothes would have been better, looser fitting, easy slip on, slip off with little effort, but since she hadn’t seen Kofuku since the pink haired grunt had stormed out after causing quite a bit of trouble for herself and the new Agent, Hayes, Faleen couldn’t ask for some of her personal clothes to be picked up and brought to her hospital room.

Leggings would have been nice though…

Being able to put them on would have been even nicer.

Pushing herself carefully to her feet once her boots were strapped up, walking over to pick up her pokeballs, and the belt they were attached to, not bothering putting the strap into place on her thigh, she just wanted to go straight to her room form here.
And last her Taser.
This was where she paused though, blinking down at it for a long moment, she could leave it… try and forget about it, but that wouldn’t change anything.
So the device was returned to its owner’s weak hand, still bandaged from where the IV has been pulled out.
Taking one last, quick scan of the room to make sure she didn’t forget anything, the dark blond grunt finally made her way out of this room, slowly but surely, into the hall, going over the instructions the doctor had drilled into her head so that she might heal properly. What drugs to take, when, when to stop in for another appointment and check up, and then there was physical therapy.

The grunt stopped, feeling horrified for a moment at the idea of bumping into someone, oh that would be so painful!
her eyes growing slightly wider at the women in crutches in front of her, she didn't move.
Once it was obvious that the collision had been avoided, Faleen snapped back to earth with a sharp blink of her eyes.

Knowing this agent right away, the one that her Shuppet had angered.
"Ma'am" came Faleen's response, apologetic, and though she couldn't move very quickly she moved toward the wall to try and clear a path.

With a slight incline of her head, Faleen's light eyes quickly flicked over the agent, not in a completely obvious way, but enough to give the idea that she was wondering how Nikki had gotten hurt.

Eyes moves back quickly to meet Nikki's at the question, taking it the way that Nikki had intended, the tone of her voice was hard to miss, but Faleen didn't look offended, and just answered the question.
"I got shot on the last raid" she said, lifting her free hand up like a gun and pointing it to where she had been shot, before returning it back to her other arm, to help move the two books Hayes had let her borrow and Pokeballs she was carrying into a more firm grip.
“What about you?” she asked in return, nodding lightly in a gesture to the crutches.

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly in an uneasy grin at the other Rocket's response. "yeah... I guess that was me"
she expected the results of the raid were not going to be secret, but this was the first time Faleen considered that most of the rockets in the HQ would know by now, not that she really cared if they knew or not.

At the mention of Nikki surviving an avalanche Faleen arched her eyebrows a bit,
"oh, its a good thing you got out of that with only frostbite" she said, sounding impressed. "considering how most fare when they are caught in an avalanche"

Faleen picked up on that discomfort, she had no intentions making the agent angry again, so her next words were careful, though she probably shouldn't have talked at all, just let the agent go on her way.
Faleen could relate really, probably not completely, but they had both been stuck in the hospital after a mission went wrong and had gotten hurt, that much wasn't fun.

"its good you can say that" she couldn't help a small grin.
thats was a pretty good attitude she had,
Faleen got the impression that this wasn't someone who would stay down when knocked on there a**.

Faleen nodded slowly, taking a moment to quietly shift the books over to her over arm, holding them closer to her chest to keep weight away from her sides.
"yeah... I'm starting to understand how true that is."

It didn't frighten her, she always knew stuff like this was going to happen, to her and to her teammates, fellow Rockets, but she had come to recognize a greater respect for how much they were putting on the line. And she was just a grunt, a worthless grunt, if she wanted to stay alive on missions, or even be someone that would be worth staying alive... she was going to have to make some major impairments.

pulling her gaze back from the ground where it had drifted thoughtfully, glancing over to Nikki.

Her eyes grew wide, when Nikki said that, more surprised that she knew about what happened, than she was that she had said something so blunt.
Closing her mouth tightly she glanced down with another stiff nod, her face burned with embarrassment.
"Had" She said as Nikki turned to leave. "Next time it won't be a problem" if she got a next time.

That statement could have been taken two ways, either Nikki was voicing that she didn't think Faleen would shape up, or that she didn't think Faleen was going to have a "next time" god… she hoped it wasn't the latter.

The grunt stayed where she was, back against the wall, watching the blond agent leave with a little difficulty down the hall.
She exhaled a breath of air through her nose, tensing a corner of her mouth. That’s how it was going to be, Faleen knew Nikki wasn’t the only one who knew Faleen did something stupid, at least here there were people who told it to Faleen strait.
Shifting the books again, reaching her other hand up to hold them as well, turning to continue in her own direction.
