Re: Opposing Spectrums

Hunter was more than a little surprised to see that Tatyana wasn't just basking in the afterglow of his abuse. Considering how busted her chops earlier, he expected a snide remark or smug little smile. Instead, she was staring at the event as emotionless as anyone could. For lack of a better word, it was a little creepy. The young man opened his mouth to fire off another remark at the nurse but quickly shut himself up when she raised her hand to hit him again. It must have been a sight to see, someone like him being 'intimidated' by a woman who couldn't have weighed more than 120 pounds. Then again, they would have to see the situation from his point of view to understand. There weren't many things that he would outright refuse to do, but raising his hand against a woman was a moral code that he wouldn't break unless his life was in danger. But if it was, he would still hesitate before striking. Hell, he wouldn't even grab her wrist for fear of bruising it. He waited until the pair was too far away for the nurse to come back and check him for his lack of manners and shouted, "Try not to trip, Gimpy! I don't think the stick will be able to support you!"

It was a small and, quite frankly, silly thing to say but he knew just how to push that woman's buttons. Since Tatyana was close enough to her, she'd be able to notice how red she was when her height and strength was called into question, "On second thought, he's just an ass!" She said, turning back to glare at the man one last time before turning into a vacant room,

"It's strange, but I don't think I've really met someone who was just so... vivid."

The nurse laughed at her comment and flashed an almost knowing smile, "So you have a crush on the punk, huh?" She paused for a moment and examined her ankle closely, "But you have a point... Try not to judge him for his lack of a real backbone earlier, though. I'm sure he could have kept me from hitting him if he really wanted to. I can't imagine a guy who gets slapped around like that advancing in the military."

Once she finished taking a look, the nurse retrieved a cold ice pack and pressed it to the sprained ankle, "You need to alternate between ice water and warm water in order to reduce the swelling. To heal properly, you should also refrain from putting any weight on it and use a brace."
