A smile appeared on Ryanâ€™s face once more when Eric gave him the peck on the cheek. He wasnâ€™t all that surprise to find that he was blushing as he watched Eric go back over to his partner either. That man definitely was something else and Murdock was right to pair him with Kat, he didnâ€™t need to read their reports to see it. As far as he was concerned they had handled themselves well back there and he was glad to be of help even if he was pretty much pulling all his silly plans out of his ass. They didnâ€™t need to know that, however, or the fact that he was feeling a bit worried for their safety himself for awhile. He really wasnâ€™t sure if he would have been able to keep them safe or even bring them back alive but in the end everything went well. He was truly looking forward to seeing them again, even if working with the military still made him uneasy and he knew his men were not going to like it, which he hoped was very soon.<br/><br/>If memory served, Murdock would send the reports via an older code that was lost after the war and was not used by anyone. It was going to take awhile to remember the old code, having not used it in awhile, but it soon started to slowly come back to him once he began to head back to his little hideout. This was going to be interesting as hell that was for sure. Ryan secretly loved being noseyâ€¦<br/><br/>Honestly, Ericâ€™s apology had taken Kat by surprise though she understood why he would have apologized. She couldnâ€™t help but blush again and didnâ€™t say anything until they got on the shuttle to give herself a chance to calm down a bit more so she wouldnâ€™t spill everything out at once like she had when she was telling him about her past. She took even more time to get her thoughts in better order while the medics looked them over carefully, keeping tabs on their condition while they made sure the two were comfortable. Unlike the man from earlier, these medics seemed to care about their patients being comfortable. She still ached despite Ryanâ€™s amazing pain killers numbing most of the pain; her wrists and ribs still burned though it wasnâ€™t nearly when the injuries happened. These pain killers were definitely amazing. When she and Eric were left alone finally for what she hoped was the last time until they got back, letting out a rather painful expel of breath.<br/><br/>She did her best to smile a bit as she looked over to him, feeling she had her thoughts together a little better now, hoping to let him know she wasnâ€™t going to say she wasnâ€™t angry to avoid argument, â€œI wasnâ€™t upset with you, you didnâ€™t do anything wrong. I guess Iâ€™m still a little torn, for the lack of a better word, about what happened today is all.â€ For so long she had kept those feelings to herself, and getting them out reminded her again of how good it felt to have a partnerâ€¦ noâ€¦ to have a good friend that she could pour her heart out to without much worry. Her friends back home, and the ones who worked in the military save for a few, didnâ€™t know about her past. Or if they did they didnâ€™t really mention it which was fine with her. â€œSeeing you and Ryan sparked some more suppressed emotions, I wonâ€™t lie,â€ she added, still not sure if she really wanted to admit that, looking down slightly. â€œBut really youâ€™ve done nothing wrong.â€<br/><br/>In her mind, he really hadnâ€™t done anything wrong. Yes it did upset her a little but it wasnâ€™t something she felt would threaten their partnership so she would let it go rather than argue and turn it into something that would. This has been a long day and she felt like she was ready to pass out and sleep though with everything running through her mind that was impossible. She shuddered a bit at the thought of what her thoughts would show her once she closed her eyes. Nightmares have never been that common for her, but what happened today might just be enough to deprive her of sleep. Mentioning it to Eric ran through her mind for a brief moment but she decided to keep it to herself for now, not wanting to dump all of her drama on him at once.<br/><br/>Heh, maybe she was just excited to have someone she could talk to since itâ€™s been awhile. That was something worth mentioning though she had a feeling it was pretty needless to say. â€œIt has been awhile since Iâ€™ve been able to be this open with someone,â€ Kat said, â€œso if Iâ€™m rambling too much feel free to tell me to shut it.â€ The last part was her once again trying to tease but it came out a bit more serious than she wanted.
