[ considering her position in her world, she would like to say she has potential, but it's nice to have approval, even if she doesn't particularly need it. she's curious about his ship, but at the moment she won't ask. perhaps that is another story for another day. ]
Absolutely. At home, I would have entrusted my Sanctuary to Will. He was my second-in-command and he's grown very good at dealing with the trials of being the head of the Network. The only thing he truly lacks is knowledge of all the languages, but he still has time for that.
[ it certainly took her years to learn all of these languages she knows. the captain's question brings one of her arms up so she can look at the bandage, as though she'd forgotten it. well... she supposes it's time to re-bandage them anyway. ]
Rather, I arrived with non-life-threatening injuries in the first place. It's likely time I re-wrapped them. They aren't quite fully healed. [ she hesitates before rolling up her sleeves so she can slowly unwrap first one arm and then the other. this reveals several cuts on her arms. moving to one of the rooms, she tosses the used bandages and moves to clean the wounds again so she can re-wrap them quickly. apparently she likes to do things herself. control issues. ]
I was meeting someone on a small island off the coast of Africa. He was a bit late and what was supposed to be a routine talk ended up turning into a hostage situation. This -- [ she indicates the set of small former-glass-shard-cuts across her face and neck. ] -- was the result of a window someone decided to break in my face while I attempted to free my fellow captives. The rest... [ she pauses, glancing at her arms for a moment before she began wrapping one. ] ... came from an explosion or two. Certainly not the worst injuries I've suffered in the line of duty, as it were.
[ she offers a small, teasing sort of smile as she finishes one arm and starts on the other, as though she isn't worried about this at all. honestly, the only thing she'd be worried about would be if these wardens would force her to deal with these injuries for longer than the time it should take them to heal. from what she's seen and heard so far, she wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
if picard's sharp and if he remembers what she said when she first arrived about threatening to blow the place up, he might be able to put together that one of the explosions that happened during this hostage situation was the one she'd been referencing when she arrived here. ]
