Arias was dazed, still badly injured and suffering from the mild concussion. Everything seemed jumbled, a blur of color around her as she put a hand to her aching forehead. She heard what Zerori said, and after taking a moment to process the question she pointed to a cabinet beside her dresser to the left of the bed. "My medical kit is in there." She replied, her voice strange and sort of detached.
She heard Zerori speaking again, and her mind slowly started functioning at its normal level again, albeit a lot of throbbing from her head. She gave a small, weak smile as her tail curled over her stomach gently. "I didn't remember anything after going into that fit of rage, everything just... blanked." Arias replied worriedly. "Are you alright? Do you need patched? What exactly did I do to you?" She was obviously concerned, even though she barely knew Zerori.
Upon the mention of the children not being able to withstand the pain, the Saiyaness flinched slightly. Horror flooded her body at the thought of a miscarriage, she didn't want it to happen EVER. Arias listens to Zerori speak again, and watched her as she moved around. "I understand. Thank you for your concern..." She replied, her head starting to throb anew and she cursed slightly.

Looking back towards the bed, the hybrid wasted no time in quickly making her way over to the cabinet at its side and practically ripped open the doors to get to the box inside. Taking it in hand, Zerori stepped back over to the woman as she sat upon the bed and popped open the box. At this time, Arias would have asked if Zerori had any injuries to speak of and if she needed a patch job as well. Looking up at the saiyan girl, Zerori would simply smirk at her with a raise brow. “Really?” her tone was light-hearted but also tinged with a bit of surprise. She was much more powerful than her and had a plethora of training at her disposal to fall back on should she actually be in danger of dying… so why did she think that she could have actually harmed her?
Because she did and you’re too proud to admit it, Zerori admonished herself before lifting a hand to move the armored collar a bit. Showing off the bite wound and claw gashes that littered her chest where the armor didn’t protect, the hybrid would simply say, “It’s not life threatening…” She didn’t know exactly how Arias would react but letting go of the armor to get back to her task, she imagined this woman had a plethora of emotions to match her skill.
Taking out a breakable cold pack, Zerori clenched it in her fist tightly before placing it against Arias’ temple. Almost instantly, sweet cool relief would fill the packet. “Hold that.” Zerori demanded, moving back to the box to search for a piece of gauze. As she did so, picking it up and starting to pull it apart she would continue, “Don’t worry ‘bout it. If you’d killed me, I would have deserved it.” Giving a wink, she placed the gauze over Arias’ forehead right where blood was starting to stream from a sizable crack. Narrowing her eyes, Zerori frowned in concern. “I should have been more careful… Without meaning to, you could have died and then…”
Two more children would have been on your list, She thought morosely and let out a sigh.

Arias laid with her head throbbing slightly, she gritted her teeth to get rid of the pain. She was honestly worried for Zerori, and it showed in her eyes the level of concern she felt. She watched as Zerori got the medical kit from the cabinet and propped it on the bed, blinking slowly. She watched Zerori move the armor, and stared in horror at the bite mark and claw gashes. She went to speak, but chose not to say anything once Zerori assured her it wasn't life-threatening.
The Saiyaness held the cold pack against her temple as instructed, her entire body relaxing rather quickly. Her teeth slowly stopped grinding together, and she let the cooling pack work its magic. She looked over at Zerori, flicking her tail slightly. "Nobody truly deserves to die if they can turn their lives around to prevent the same things from happening again." Her voice was gentle, eyes still laden with concern for the other hybrid. She noticed Zerori sigh as she felt the gauze placed over her head.
She was tired and still injured, and closed her eyes as she relaxed, letting Zerori patch her up and stop the wounds from getting any worse. The cooling packet did more than it normally would, because she had a higher body temperature than average, mainly right around her lower torso, which showed no injury.

Zerori raised a brow at the curious statement, thinking on it as she looked away. The kitten had taken this moment to jump into the woman’s lap and cuddle up upon her in the lull of the moment. Glancing back at the little beast, Zerori let a smirk grace her lips before she stood up from the bed and moved the box over towards Arias. She was out of any immediate danger, so… it only left a few minor things left to say or do. Looking back at Arias, Zerori crossed her arms before she spoke. “I-” She found herself suddenly pausing, at a loss for words as the kitten looked up at the saiyaness with an almost beseeching expression.
Harsh words of her lesson fading off of her tongue, Zerori just frowned with an almost pitiful look on her face. “Damn you,” Softly cursing the existence of the cat like it somehow had a bearing on her decision to speak. She looked back at Arias and tried again, with different words in mind, “This was meant to be a lesson for you and I can’t guarantee how useful it has been. I’ve… pretty much barged my way in, took your alcohol and then beat the shit out of you.”
…When she put it that way, Zerori really wondered if she didn’t deserve the injuries she got. “But, um…” She scratched the back of her head with one hand, struggling to speak. Her face bellied just how at a loss she was, until finally she just threw her hands up into the air. Slamming down into one knee, Zerori smashed one hand into the ground at almost full strength.
The house around them trembled at her might, giving a few groans at the ferocity of the impact before it settled and some dust fell from the rafters. Unheeding the damage she might have caused Zerori continued in a rushed manner, barking out, “My apologies for potentially harming your children! It would be in your greatest interest, Asp- Asperah-!” By the gods, she had to fuck up the name. Gritting her teeth as her as her eyes twitched in annoyance at her fuck up, she look up at the woman. “Just… don’t make any foolish decisions.”
Had she drawn connection to this woman? She wasn’t sure but she was certain that guilt was a very powerful deterrent. One that she was starting to earn in spades.

The kitten kept giving Zerori the adorable eyes, softly kneading Arias' stomach before curling up on it in a tiny black and white fluff ball. Arias pets her kitten and looks up at Zerori, the gauze remaining on her head and she kept the cooling pack where it was. She heard Zerori speak, and gave her a small smile of reassurance. "It is fine Zerori.. don't beat yourself up about it. You did not barge in if I invited you in. You didn't take my alcohol if I offered it to you. You didn't beat me if you taught me a lesson of importance."
Arias watched as Zerori scratched the back of her head, flicking her tail slightly. She didn't feel any sort of hostility or anger towards Zerori, and when the woman slammed onto her knees and throw her hands in the air before smashing into the ground with one hand, she sighed quietly. Despite the small amount of pain, Arias got up and walked over to the other hybrid. Kneeling down beside her, she placed a hand on Zerori's back, before speaking.
"There is no need to rush. I won't hurt you, I have no ill intentions towards you. Lessons need to be learned, and I appreciate your help and efforts. Call me Arias, Zerori. My children are fine, there is no need to worry. I don't judge based on actions, I judge on who the person is. And I think you are a good person, you just need to find the path right for you." She had honesty in her tone, along with gentleness and a friendly sound to it. Her tail flicked slightly, she kept her hand on Zerori's back.

Eh? I didn’t- Hurt me? From her place on the ground, Zerori was caught off guard by the phrase and looked up. However, as stubborn as she was – she couldn’t ignore the forest for the trees and just gave a sigh. As she got to her feet with her worries more or less put to rest along with a portion of her guilt, she would look back at the kitten that seemed to be as knowing as her mistress was and raise a hand to ruffle it’s fur. Taking a step back, Zerori declared evenly, “If you feel that way, then… thanks, I guess. Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s a sweet thought but I don’t really feel that way myself.”
Did she really want to debate her own morality, though? Where as most people would think they had an abundance of good will and moral ethics, Zerori didn’t feel the same way about herself. While she wouldn’t exactly claim to the next Frieza of the galaxy, she wasn’t also the saint behind the donations to orphanages.
Walking toward the door, Zerori waved behind her nonchalantly – signifying that she really didn’t want to talk any more on the topic of her own morals. “Oh, and another thing,” She paused, a foot out of the door as she turned around, “If I ever catch ya on Earth, we’ll go out some time! Might treat as an actually apology for the hit!” Giving one last wink, and not really leaving much for Arias to decline, she’d close the door quickly and lean down quickly into a wind step. Disappearing in a gust of wind, she would reappear once more a distance away up toward a cliff side that she’d first eyed the house.
Turning around, she gave the house one last side long glance before giving a smirk. I’m sure she’ll be fine. I’ve spent too much time here, as it is… She thought resolutely before walking back the way she came. As night time approached, she figured she’d find a nice lust area of forest to crash. And she had… just the spot in mind!
[Exit! Thanks for the thread~ PL please]
