Faleen was in the hospital wing of the HQ for a check up on her stitches, it had gone well, everything looked good so far, but she knew she would have to keep a close eye on the wounds while she let them heal.
She had two options from here, the second options popping into her head as she walked through the halls of the hospital on her way out… go back and find something to do that was productive… or while she’s here, visit some of the other Rockets that were in here for more serious wounds.
It didn’t take a long time to consider before she was stopping one of the medics, and asking them where Agent Nikki was, and if she was allowed visitors.
Hazel eyes flicked up to the door number, confirming that it was the number that the nurse had told her Nikki was in.
Reaching up, Faleen knocked on the door, waiting for a reply before entering. Unless Nikki just told her to go away completely, she would obey.
Faleen had seen what kind of injury the Agent had received from the Ho’oh bursting out of the ultra ball,
The robotics mechanic was all to familiar with the seriousness of burns, and feared the long term affects on her fellow Rocket, she didn’t doubt that Nikki would find a way to work past this, the blond agent just seemed like that kind of person, to push through.

It had been a week since the raid, and Nikki was quite frankly going stir crazy. Her hands and arms were still wrapped in gauze up to her elbows, but the healing was going along fine. There had been a few complications with infection, but that had since cleared up thanks to some antibiotics. However, she still couldn't use her hands and could only sit in bed and let the nurses help her with... everything. Literally. It was quite frankly rather frustrating in most instances, and downright humiliating in others. She was not use to being so helpless, and she hated it.
"Come in?" Came Nikki's voice, sounding surprised that she would have a visitor. After all, there were not many people who would want to come see her, that she knew of. Nyx had been kind enough to come, and the evidence of her visit was still at her bedside. A vase with an arrangement of Ho-oh feathers in it.

When a reply, that sounded more like a question, came from the other side of the room, Faleen reached down to turn the nob, and push the door inward as she stepped into the room, looking over to where the Agent was in her bed.
"Good afternoon Ma'am," she greeted, offering a soft smile. "Would you mind if I came in?"
She was already in the room, but asking for permission for a visit seemed the best thing to do right now.
Faleen remembered what it was like to be stuck in a hospital bed for a long time, and it was mind bogglingly boring.

Nikki way laying so that she was propped up into a sitting position in her bed. The TV was on, considering it was one of the few things she could do that didn't require the use of her hands. Well.. unless she wanted to use the remote that is. The volume was set low though.
In the corner loomed a dark Pidgeot who leered at Faleen as she entered. However, he didn't make a noise or move. He remembered her from the raid, and he knew that she wouldn't cause any harm to Nikki.
"Not really. Its not like I can do anything about it anyway." She told Faleen gloomily. She wasn't in the best of spirits, which was understandable considering her circumstances.

Faleen stepped into the room even more, pausing so she could close the door behind her.
"I'm certain you could Ma'am" she replied, Faleen would have just left had she told her to, or if Nikki really wanted her out, that large bird in the corner could certainly remove the grunt from the room.
striding over quietly to stand at the foot of the Agents bed, she folded her hands in front of her.
"I was in for a check up, I though I would come by and see how you were doing" She explained, eyes glancing momentarily over Nikki's bandaged arms, then back up to the agent.

Nikki breathed out a sigh and tilted her brown gaze up at Faleen as she came into the room. She was right though... Darkfeather would have lept on the grunt in an instant had she given the command. The Pidgeot was there to protect her and help her in any way he could.
"Well, I'm doing as well as one who can't use their hands can be expected," she told the other blonde bluntly. There wasn't much to see honestly. "I'm healing at least. I've got another week or two yet, though."

The grunt met her gaze, with a slight inline down at her head, reaching up to tuck a side of her hair behind her ear.
"You won't be required to remain in here for much longer I hope?" Faleen started, meaning it as a question. Two weeks of heaving was a long time, thankfully from what Faleen was told, she wouldn't have to wait that long, after a week her hands were in decent shape, she could return to her duties, and another week to a week and a half and she wouldn't have to worry about her back, if she didn't get an infection...
"I am glad to see you seem to be doing well, all things considering, that was an incredible hit you took"

"I hope not. Although it won't really matter where I am if I can't use my hands. The skin is still sensitive and weak. It just depends on how long it takes to heal up enough. Although they're telling me I should be out of here sometime next week."
While there was still some pain, it wasn't nearly like what it had been. The first few days had been nearly unbearable.
She snorted softly at Faleen's next comment though. "It was stupid."

"Healing is difficult, and frustrating," Faleen agreed with this, Knowing Nikki had been in here a few times before, remembering the first time, she was on crutches, That had been quite some time ago.
At the last statement, Faleen looked a little puzzled, tilting her head a little "Stupid ma'am? I wouldn't say that."

"And why not?" Nikki shot back with a frown. "I should have known better. Should have done something other than use my own bare hands to keep that Ho-oh inside the ball."
She gave a sigh, having felt like a complete and utter failure. If she had caught that Ho-oh, they would have it right now instead of Team Galactic.

"Perhaps... " She admitted, agreeing with the handling the ultra ball part,
Faleen fell quiet for a moment, replaying that event in her mind, she wondered at first why Nikki did it? At the time it seemed like such a desperate act, going against odds that were stacked against her to try and keep the Ho'oh inside the ball.
Faleen recalled how Nikki had also looked at and handled the Ho'oh egg, and with a glance to the side she saw an arrangements of the Ho'oh feathers...
"I take it you are quite fond with that bird? The Ho'oh"
the behaviors were not that much different to how Faleen reacted to robots, or mechanisms.

"Birds in general," Nikki admitted with a soft sigh. "I guess you could say they're my passion, especially legendary ones. Had things turned out different, I might have been a Flying Pokemon Researcher instead of a Team Rocket Agent."
She shrugged her shoulders slightly and settles back against the pillows on her bed, staring at the TV screen with a bored expression.

Ah yes, This hit very close to Faleen, must to her surprise, she didn't know this about Nikki.
"I can relate" she replied before looking up and over toward the large darkly colored Pidgeot. "not necessarily about the birds, but the ambition."
Faleen looked over to a seat that was on the other side of the room, against the wall.
"Would it be okay if I sat down?" she asked, gesturing toward the chair.

There was a slight huff from Nikki. She doubted that Faleen could really related, at least not totally. But she didn't comment. Instead when the grunt asked if she could sit, she motioned towards the chair with one bandaged hand.
"Feel free. I don't really care."

When given permission Faleen walked over to move the chair, letting out a soft sigh as she sat down, folding her hands onto her lap, her gaze moving up toward the TV, at what Nikki was watching, eying the screen for a moment when she saw it was the news, but glanced back over at the Agent when she saw that the news was some trivial story about a store in one of the malls.
"Do you feel like you made the right choice?"
not oblivious to the small noise that Nikki made, the corners of her lips softening in a soft smile, She didn't know Nikki's story, nor did she intend to pry where it was unwelcome, she knew the Agent didn't take her statement seriously, that fact didn't bother Faleen.
