I gasped as Halcy pulled right back out of my hands... and right into the console. I pouted in a half-sympathetic, half-amused look as she went fetal from her injury, and half-giggling, I said, "Well, now, little miss... that was just a little fuckin' unwise, don'cha think?" I pulled back and hopped to my feet, picking up the towel that had been cast aside and offering it to her. "Look, now, you can't be flailin' about like a silly fool, Halcy... You'll get yourself hurt, yeah? Comon now, take the towel, wipe that up, we don't need you bleedin' all over the shiny floor now do we?" I crouched next to her, still a little hard, grinning at her. "I'm sorry if I scared'ja, Halcy... but you did real good... and I'd like ta pay ya back..."<br/>
