She couldn't say she wasn't shocked (and not just a little relieved) when her attacker was suddenly ripped away from her, a shout of surprise coming from her as her hero began to unceremoniously pummel the shit out of the guy's head. Clutching her bag to her chest, she just sort of stood there and watched, not really sure how she could contribute without getting in the way, wincing everytime the man's fist made contact with the drunken slob's face. It seemed that the knee to the face was the winning blow though. Turning her head, she leaned forward off the wall to watch the drunk's stumbling exit, almost forgetting that she was in new company until he spoke.

Almond-shaped eyes turned to regard this knight in shining armor, bobbing her head in a slow bob as she reached down to readjust her shirt, a striped tanktop that had managed to ride up a bit during her little grappling match moments before. "Yea," was her breathless reply, looking a little shaken as she tenderly probed her swollen lip with her index finger, drawing a harsh breath through her teeth as the action resulted in stinging pain. "Occupational hazard number four," she muttered wryly, more to herself than to the young man that had saved her. "What an asshole. Uh, not you. Him." Just incase he was confused. "And yea, I'm sure I've got steak or something upstairs. That's what you're supposed to do, right?" Though why anyone would want to put frozen meat on their face was beyond her. Ice worked just fine, in her opinion.

Upon closer inspection of him, Mikal realized that she recognized this person. It wasn't a strong familiarity at all, but she could vaguely recall seeing his face in passing. This was, as far as she knew, the only time she had ever actually talked to him though, beyond the occasional polite 'thankyou' whenever he happened to hold the elevator for her. "Good thing you were around huh? I really owe you one." She pushed some short shards of dark hair from her brow and grinned at him, the gesture somewhat strained due to the fact that her bottom lip was beginning to swell a bit. "Those were some seriously badass moves, by the way."
