She’d really thrown herself into the ring that night. Ekaterina had felt the urge to fight, and so she did-- multiple times. Some she had won, some had ended in stalemates and others... well, her head had hit the concrete at least once and she had blacked out for a couple of minutes. Nothing serious, really. The cheers from the crowd in her favour were surprising, but enjoyable. One of the pirates, as she gone to stumble back to the rest of the the buildings had shoved a bottle of rum in her hands as thanks for winning him an extra couple hundred... whatever currency they passed around here.
And now she was on the beach leant against a tree, dazed, bloody, sore... Drunk. She almost thought she gotten away with some solitude, almost had some time to herself just to gaze up at the night sky and pick out the constellations. Ekaterina would have been forever grateful for the time alone-- but of course, a voice sounded out, and the telltale sound of footsteps in the sand getting louder ruined any plans she might have had for some peace and quiet. “Do you mind?” She slurred out, taking another drink from her well-earned bottle, the metallic taste of blood mixing with the alcohol. Oh. Her nose was still bleeding.
Bringing bruised and split knuckles up to try and staunch the flow (which only really resulted in her hand ending up covered in even more blood than before), she mumbled out another sentence, surprising herself with how put-together she sounded. “If you are here to check on me or know what I am doing, I... am fine. I am not breaking any rules and I do not-- not need help.” Of course, that might have just been in her mind... Ekaterina could sound absolutely plastered and out of it and have no idea, especially with the blows she’d taken-- amongst which was a right hook straight to the nose, nearly breaking it, and she was sure she’d felt something move inside her skull when she’d hit the ground. “I want to just... drink.”
