You always get back up

"A neamh, a leanbh!" She was standing in an instant, her reading long forgotten as she noted the horrific bruising around his eye. "Sit," she gestured to the chair she had just stood up from and briskly walked to the kitchen. Sarah snagged the hand towel from the oven and pulled a package of vegetables from the freezer. Delicate fingers wrapped the towel around the pack and lightly placed it against the raging flesh of his eyes. "Hold onto that for at least ten minutes, and I'll go find my supplies." Sarah walked away from Stiles, a flurry of words falling from her lips in a mixture of English and her native tongue as she grabbed her makeup bag from her room. She returned with the bag and some other supplies from her bathroom; ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and a first aid kit. "Please do explain, how this happened..." Worry etched across her face as she looked at him. There was a gentle fondness of memory, of days where her boy was in similar situations. Stiles however, was going to be free of one of her typical lectures however.

Her breaths came in shuddering gasps and her heart felt as if a flock of hummingbirds had decided to roost between her ribs had finally wanted to take their leave. Sarah glanced down at her own hands, saturated with sanguine flecks and streaks. The blonde swallowed as she followed the blotched line of crimson down the alleyway. She didn't move to follow the track, there was no need. The figure that had meant to take her purse was off to tend to their wounds. She had made her stand and now that the adrenaline had started to dip, her hands began to shake. Sarah kept a firm grasp on the knife though. Hastily she wiped the blade on her slacks and closed it. She started to back up when she finally noted the other presence behind her. She spun on her heel, eyes wide and ready to defend herself again until recognition saved her from making another hasty move. "Jane?"

I just finished a test for a different hospital and though I've been in this field for ten years - just AAHHHH . I'm a damn good tech, I haven't taken a test in forever, and between test anxiety and impostor syndrome I am hella nervous. This could be a great opportunity for me if things pan out and oh geeze I really hope i did well and that they'll want me on their roster.

She is but it is sparingly. There is just an unfathomable volume of information with all the combined platforms that would easily throw her into overwhelm. If somebody has something to show her specifically, she will watch and listen. However she doesn't outright seek out the medium on her own on any frequent basis. She still prefers to get her news by word of mouth, the paper, and the radio. The fact that nearly every American has a TV now is also something she is becoming accustomed to. She takes frequent breaks, because sometimes the volume of horrors in the world breaks her heart.
