@ltcmdruna asked: “Hey, why are you walking like that?” for tilly!
“Like what?” A blink, sure, she was trying to get out of this conversation because it wouldn’t help right now. It wouldn’t make anything easier, wouldn’t get them out of here faster, wouldn’t solve any of their problems. “Oh.” Yeah, okay, maybe the penny dropped that she wasn’t going to get away with complete and utter denial. Her eyes flickered down to her leg, that was the issue with black pants, it was kinda hard to see the damn blood on them, but Tilly could feel it.
Adrenaline was still helping with the pain, that was the thing about crashing into a planet and almost dying it really helped your sympathetic nervous system get ramped up. “Yeah, I think I like, something hit me when we crashed,” a shrug of her shoulder. Honestly. A few years ago she might have freaked out…but everything since Discoveries loss felt. Muted. At least emotionally. It wasn’t that it didn’t hurt, she just no longer saw the point in talking or complaining about it.
“We should get the signal enhancers set up.” An attempt to steer the conversation back to the task at hand. Tilly didn’t want to talk about herself for once. “Maybe that ridge? It’s the highest elevation around here and might have the best chance of getting a signal up to the ship.”
