"Y-you need to be more careful," Jerry murmured quietly, breathing out slowly as she sat up just fine. "R-rin says... this happened during a spar? You should have felt your fear shield weakened! B-believe me, I have plenty of experience with that."

Rin frowned idly at Jerry before looking at Sasha, "You shouldn't be sorry. It wasn't fun and it was very scary... but, sometimes you get absorbed in battle and s**t happens. I'm equally as guilty."
She offered Sasha a forced and weak little smile, "All in all, how are you feeling?"

Sasha fussed with the sheet for a long, quiet stretch of time.
"I felt it. I just. Didn't stop." Her mouth formed a hard line. "And did Rin tell you what I did? Did she tell you how I acted?" There was a sour taste in her mouth.
She felt low. No better than Rep.
Sasha finished the water and set the cup aside.
"This is my fault, and I'm sorry. I should be sorry."

Jerry's brows furrowed as he glanced to Rin with a look of confusion, "N-no... not exactly... I only just got here a... a few minutes ago." He bit his lip, mind racing. Had she dissociated like he used to? He knew personally how dangerous that could be.

"I'm... not entirely sure what you mean by how you acted. It was a fierce and determined dual, I suppose. Just got a bit... carried away in the end?" Rin knew she was downplaying what had happened a bit.
Sasha was acting unusual at the time... but not that unusual. She was always a fierce fighter that seemed to detest losing. Nothing was unusual about that. Not everyone could enjoy the fight itself more than the end result like she could.
She could only offer Jerry a baffled shrug.

"She stopped fighting," Sasha muttered harshly, narrowing her eyes as she stared up at the ceiling.
"I kept attacking - and it was stupid of me."
What else could she say?
I liked the sight of terror in Rep's eyes when I had him on the ground, and I wanted to see it again?
Nope.
The sight of Rep's neck bleeding gave me a sick, perverse feeling of satisfaction?
Probably wouldn't go over well.
I enjoyed having that control over him? I wanted to feel it again?
Yeah, right.
"I haven't been feeling myself after confronting Rep. I made a bad decision, and I'm sorry. I'm glad that you didn't get hurt, Rin. I would never have forgiven myself."
She fell silent, expression tense.

"It's alright... so... so long as you're okay," He smiled weakly, tempted to touch the bandages at her shoulder but refrained. "We all get carried away. I um. I almost killed Jordan once in a spar... had no idea what I was doing. It... it happens. We have to be careful."

"Oh right, that. No biggie. No one called end of fight so," Rin decided to leave it at that for now as she distractedly eyed her bandage, "I... guess that explains a bit."
The Rep thing. Was that it? Rep sent her into a sort of... frenzy?
Rin wanted so badly to ask more about it, but... Jerry. She gave him a thoughtful glancing over. Can't talk about Rep without going places. Places she didn't wish to go right this moment.
She quietly set her jaw before looking back at Sasha, "You still haven't answered how you were feeling you silly git."

Mean. Angry. Frustrated. Annoyed. Irritated. Off-balance. Out of sorts.
"Fine."
Even Jerry with his worried fluttering about was grating slightly on her nerves. Her mouth twitched.
It was a big deal, why couldn't they see that? Carried away? She hadn't been carried away. She'd seen that Rin had stopped, could feel the give of the other woman's shield - could feel her own shatter as Byr's edge bit into her shoulder.
"I feel fine."
She didn't.
"Just tired. My shoulder aches, but. All things considered."
She moved her legs restlessly.

Jerry watched her face carefully, brows still knit with concern. He ran his hand through his hair, leaning back in the chair anxiously. "You... remember what happened, right?"

Rin settled back down into her seat more comfortably and gave Sasha a thoughtful look. She wanted to say more, to discuss things... but she suddenly felt all the more aware Jerry was present and she felt immediately awkward.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
I'll make it up to you.
I'll make it all better.
It felt more like my fault than yours.
Maybe another time, when it was just them.
She glanced over thoughtfully and noticed the bag, "Ah... I almost forgot about your gift..."

Sasha shot Jerry a look. "Of course I remember what happened. I was at work in the lab. Rin stopped by with sandwiches and -- yes, and the gift. I started feeling restless, so we walked to the training grounds and sparred."
Sasha cleared her throat.
"I was careless and pushed too hard." Her jaw clenched as she glanced at Jerry, letting loose a slight sigh before reaching out to grasp his hand.
"I'm sure I'll be fine. Superhealing or whatever Nona does." Her shoulder felt taut when she moved it, the skin itchy.
"In fact, help me get this bandage off, and then ... sandwiches. And the present. I'm starving now."

Jerry paled a bit, looking down with embarrassment. Well.. she... she hadn't dissociated as far as he could tell.
Just over zealous. Stressed and carried away. He breathed a sigh of relief, and forced his own stressed smile as she held his hand. He was happy to ponder while the girls finished up... whatever this was with gifts. It didn't look like he was ready to leave her bedside nor help her with any bandages though. "You should keep them on until they tell you otherwise. There might be something in the ointment to help things along, you know?"

Rin was up again and meandered over to grab the bag and return, offering it to Sasha before moving over to her bandage, "Well, it wont hurt anything to change them and get a look at it in the process to be sure."
She placed a careful hand on the edges of the beginning of the wraps, "I just wont do it unless you're sure?" she offered a soft little smile. She wasn't meaning to contradict Jerry really, rather do as Sasha wished which seemed the most reasonable in the moment.

Sasha grunted softly. She was in a sour mood, such a sour mood. There was nothing about her mood that could even remotely be considered pleasant. A tic in her jaw picked up, twitching now and again as she sat in sullen silence for a short moment.
Jerry was probably right, and she knew he was probably right. Sasha forced the urge to be contrary; it was only due to her dour disposition.
"Leave them on," she finally muttered, scowling in the direction of the sandwiches. "I'm going to eat, though, and I don't care what anyone says."
Her tone dared either of them to disagree.
