When it comes to your “hobby”, you certainly had better days.
Sliding your visor off of your face, you let it rest above your forehead. The heads-up display was starting to give you a headache, although that feeling may just have been from the blow to the head you took from that brute of a troll earlier. You were naturally able to wear him down, but not before you took a few solid hits. Your uniform was torn in several places from the scuffle, but the bodysuit beneath was practically untouched, having shielded you from the worst of his attacks. You still felt the pain from where he attacked you, and you didn’t have to look to know that he left bruises. And you hadn’t even bothered to notice that your nose was bleeding.
You were pretty ready to go home for the night, but the mountain up to your hive was always a long hike, and although you were definitely used to it by now, your injuries stopped to make you reconsider. Staring up at your mountain, you decided to head elsewhere to recuperate, and made your way toward the forest.
You hustled through the woods, not going as fast as you could since it still hurt in some places. Still, it didn’t take you long to happen upon your mate’s cottage. You’d only been there a handful of times, but you were glad that you could remember how to get there. Making your way around the fence, you gave the door a couple knocks.
“Anyone home?”, you called out.
