She wasn't sure which one annoyed her more; the fact that she managed not to scream and cry when she pressed the wipes against her wounds, or that she didn't think to bring any extras with her. Still, it made her work easier to do, and the notion of her bringing some back from her homeworld did please her to a certain extent.
"If you wouldn't mind? I figure it'd make a good payment for my services." Not that Mica would tell her what she would do with such crystals, or what she -could- do. They could be utterly worthless outside of her homeworld, for all she knew. All of these ideas, though, would simply be locked away for later. "No need for promises. They might be worth something through looks alone."
Not that she even meant that. They'd hold some value, she'd simply have to find out what. Once all of the blood was wiped away, she grabbed the gauze and motioned for Hugbell to raise her hands. A few wraps around should hold her insides in long enough for her to get home, she told herself, or to a hospital without dying along the way. "Yes, I'd like that. How soon could you bring me these things..."
She realized she never asked her name. How absent-minded of her. "Your name, senshi?"

Hugbell was watching Mica curiously as she worked, considering the request and the senshi nodded, "Of course,"
What harm could it do? It's not like Hugbell was going to take Mica with her, nope. She only trusted Scheelite that much. When she was told to lift her arms she did so willingly wincing just a little, "So . . . do you think I need to go get stitches or can I just tend it and hope it doesn't infect? I'd . . . rather uh . . . well I'd rather not have to deal with my parents on this if I can help it." Really she wished she had someone at home she could trust but with the complications of her family she'd felt like she'd lost most of her connections to the real world.
When the other asked about how soon she could bring the things, "Uh. . . Give me a week or so? We can only travel to our space-homes in a weekish timespan because the journey I guess you could call it ends up tiring us out. Though I suppose it depends on what level you're at too."
She paused ohhh right! "Hugbell." She answered, "Senshi of Comfort." which followed after a brief pause as it always did.

Mica considered her question in earnest and eventually shook her head in the negative. "No need, so long as you don't do any strenuous activities. You may wish to cut back on your duties for a bit... unless you welcome death."
In which case, Mica hoped it would have been her to dispatch her to the afterlife for wasting her time and her resources. She worked on wrapping her chest with the gauze, making sure to keep it tight but not too tight to cut off necessary circulation. She needed this one alive, long enough to prove her usefulness.
"Tell your parents you're sick. You're capable of lying, I'm sure. Either way, that'll be your problem." She said, just as she finished with the wraps, trying to fit her index and middle finger in to test their tightness and content with her job. She considered Hugbell's offer, and despite the blow to her pride, she accepted it. Whatever information she could obtain from this one was worth keeping her alive, even if it went against everything she felt she stood for. "I'm a General, second highest rank in the Negaverse. The highest rank most of us will ever see, anyways. Mica. And a week it is. Same place, then? Same time?"

Hugbell nodded, "Well . . . not to be on the opposite side of the spectrum, but don't we all end up welcoming potential death when we patrol?"
There was a pause, "But yes you don't have to worry about me running around being dumb." The teen nodded, "I know well enough when to avoid being powered."
She nodded, "Sadly something I've gotten fairly use to by now." She winced a little as Mica tested the wraps they weren't too tight but it was still a painful reminder of what she let happen.
Her head tilted a little as Mica said she was a General. Nodding softly, "Of course, if you're willing when you're at it, I may have you follow up on this as well?" She motioned to her bandages, "I'm sure I can do something to repay you for that kindness as well."

Mica couldn't help but look over the senshi with a sense of surprise and perhaps even wonder, though she did her best to hide it. She didn't wish to admit that Hugbell rose a good point, and she certainly did want to admit that she may have even admired that mindset. So, she wouldn't. She pushed the thought to the side and didn't answer. She took solace that she'd not intentionally put herself in harm's way and thus ruin all of her hard work here. "Good. Because I cannot promise anyone else in the Negaverse will spar you or know of our deal, and I would rather you not discuss this with anyone else. Do you understand?"
Part of her wished to refuse Hugbell's offer and remind her that she could have left her to die, or killed her herself. But, for the sake of their little 'enterprise', she swallowed her initial response and offered her a solemn nod. "Of course. You can get the materials at any pharmacy, but it's important not to move around, and to keep disinfecting it. If it gets infected or starts to bleed again, go to the hospital immediately, because you'll be beyond my help."
She didn't want to admit that, but she wouldn't lie either. She was an EMT in training, meant only as a quick, temporary solution. Amethyst may have been better in the long term healing, she told herself, but she didn't tell this one. Bad enough her own name would be smeared with dirt. "We'll discuss payments then. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be taking my leave. I recommend you doing the same before more trouble finds you."

Hugbell just sat and nodded obediently. "Huh, what help? I don't know anything about that." She said looking around as if she was clueless, though she smiled and winked a Mica. "I'll come up with something, after all you said I should know how to lie."
When she was told what to do she smiled and nodded again, "Yes ma'am. Luckily it's been fairly warm this time of year. I think I maybe able to get away with hiding in my room as I can and keeping 'cool'. Thank you I'll keep a close eye on it."
She nodded when the other said she'd discuss payments then, and that she was taking her leave. "Right! Thank you again." She said softly waving before slowly getting up and waiting to leave until Mica was out of her sight.
