Placing a hand upon her brow with a wince, she clears the sweat from her face with a swipe of her forearm. As the throbbing in her temples subsides, she rises, careful not to knock her aching head against the underbelly of the ship, and clambers unsteadily into the cockpit. Reaching her bloodstained hand automatically behind the seat, she fishes out the first aid kit, and pops it open. Cat-like orbs flick enviously to the small bottle of painkillers but her fingers move instead somewhat reluctantly to the fresh bandages; she couldn't risk drowsiness. Heaving a sigh, she removes the now blood and sweat soaked bandage from her head and messily applies antiseptic in the general region of the wound, binding her head as securely as possible, this time with cotton pads to soak up the blood. She repeats this with her arm and packs up the supplies; catching sight of herself in the supplied mirror,unable to keep back a smirk of irony at her own appearance.
Battle wounds.... from a tree.
She snorts and snaps the pack shut, buckling herself in and starting the ship.
The engine purrs as it lifts vertically off the ground, hovering momentarily above tree level and shooting off over the Outlands....
