Seeing he was feeling better was relieving and she wanted to say that she was worried as hell as well when Samantha had walked in. As much as Kat respected the woman she really was not thrilled about having to rest more though it was understandable since her condition was evidently that bad. Looking down for a moment, the smile on her face faded and her hands balled into fists as she was guided to sit back on the bed. Keeping still was difficult while her vitals were being checked. She really did not want to go through the machine again and again made no efforts to hide her discomfort. Sticking around here would mean more drugs and needles and less things to get her mind off the events of the other day; she felt that getting back to work would be better for her and get her mind off things quicker than sitting around here. However, she didnâ€™t want her stitches to be torn out, so she knew she also had to take it easy for awhile which made her sigh.<br/><br/>The thought of having to be checked over by the other medic they left behind, and the fact she wouldnâ€™t be able to deck him, wasnâ€™t appealing so in the end that was what made her admit defeat. The man was a good medic but she really didnâ€™t want a rough touch at the moment. More than likely it would be awhile before she could handle that mentally. It just meant she was going to be miserable for awhile and she would have to take it easy. The mood was lightened when she saw Eric still looking somewhat uncomfortable because of what was said to him and the fact that the captain had been kicked out. That was probably the most amusing thing, but she held back a smile considering her mood at the moment. And being herself, out of habit, she really could not help but be stubborn once things quieted down once again.<br/><br/>Telling Kat not to be at least a little stubborn was like telling a puppy not to be cute. It was simply impossible. Well, unless someone didnâ€™t think puppies were cute, but thatâ€™s beside the point. Stubbornness was just a part of who she was, always has been.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m more fond of the getting it done and over with idea. Iâ€™d like to get back to work as soon as possible considering the situation weâ€™ve been faced with is a serious matter that I would like to see resolved quickly.â€ Even when she was grouchy and still recovering, Kat was still a serious woman who wanted to get things over and done with at the best possible pace. Any of her previous partners would call her a slave driver; however she wanted it to be different with Eric since she actually liked his company and didnâ€™t want to strangle him. â€œHowever, Iâ€™d like Eric to stay if thatâ€™s alright. He is my partner after all.â€ She hesitated a little but she managed to look over to where he was sitting and flashed a smile. There were a few concerns about said situation she wanted to discuss with him but it could wait until they were feeling a little better.<br/><br/>She sighed softly hoping Samantha would allow it. â€œBesides, you did say he was allowed in here so I think itâ€™s only fair.â€ That was added remembering how quickly she pushed the captain out the door. And really there was a part of her that wanted some company after what she had been though even if she couldnâ€™t really bring herself to admit it. Eric was the closest thing to comfort for her right now as far as she was concerned and she tried her best not to blush at the thought. She was then reminded of how she said she would do something nice for him, for being such a good partner, which was another thing that would have to wait. Kat looked down again, narrowing her eyes a bit while she wondered what she could do before deciding to think up something later.<br/><br/>The last thing Kat needed was to rush things and wind up back here practically vomiting blood again. It was an unsettling thought, and she didnâ€™t want to go through it again. When she closed her eyes a faint smirk appeared on her face when she thought of being scolded for pushing herself too hard again. Maybe she was doing it a little now but she knew better. Samantha was a stern woman, more so than herself, and Kat knew she would have her head if she had to come back in here and start the recovery process again.
