The deviant leader looks at him - DISBELIEF in her eyes. Eyelids feel HEAVY, they glue down more and more and North struggles to keep them open without blinking really fast every now and then.
There is NO denying, she is more than exhausted - Part of which is mental - She just lead a huge group of people through a WAR. Half of which is physical. She's been wounded, her side and her right leg damaged parts begging for MERCY.
Not so important. She can hold out a little longer, the bullets did not reach any vital bio-components, she is NOT going to shut down. So she tells herself.
She is disbelieving though -- Rupert? She probably has not seen him say something with this much power to his voice, or anything of a similar fashion to her. NO.
She appreciates it.
So North stops her pacing, and stands in front of him. Bends over. No, this is not good. She should keep walking. Sure her legs won't give out under her if she keeps walking, right? It's not like she can just LOSE balance and fall over that easily, right? Standing around in one place is WORSE. It feels as if the world is spinning. She swears she can feel the Earth turn with her, fast, and annoying. STOP THAT! - She wants to yell at it, scream to stop moving, but instead blinks some more. Her mind is cloudy. Her vision needs to clear. This is not making a very great impression on him, huh? Not convincing at all.
❛ You don't have to WORRY about me, Rupert. I am not going to shut down. There are hundreds of our people wounded in the fight. They need to heal, and I need to look after them. It's not that easy.❜ The WR400 says, shaking her head. No. Fuck. Horrible idea. The world spins even more, and if she didn't know any better, she'd swear her head feels like it's in agonizing pain. So eyes squeeze shut, teeth grit. One hand moves to her head, the other to his shoulder to balance herself out.
