WIP For Hikari's Response To Amlai

Hikari's eyes narrowed slightly as she listened to the translated Kolmoik as the Doctor responded.  There were a few pauses, but the Oni felt none worked as a place to respond herself.  Though, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise at her introducing a foreign contagion to the crash survivors when they had already been smeared in mud and who knew what else before the Gollar returned them to the ship for treatment, but said nothing.
“Your arm looks swollen,” Amlai stated, pointing at Hikari’s left arm, “What did you do to it?”
Finally given a direct question in a manner that invited a response, she couldn't help but blink back her surprise at what the Kolmoik had chosen as most relevant.
"A simple fracture," the Oni, who had not yet shed her Xena persona for those aboard the [i]Defiance[/i], "I have a lot to make up for," the last was said in a rather cryptic manner, “and can wait until more serious cases are on the mend.”
She swallowed any retorts to the rest of Amlai's monologue as she pulled out her malfunctioning osteo-regenerator.  Placing it in one of the few clear spots, it wouldn't be hard to spot the semi-molten section where, apparently, a short circuit had occured.
"Even without this arm," a tilt of the head to indicate the injured left limb, "my skill set would not mesh with things as they are outside.  Last time I faced a Ragon...." a pause as Hikari took a deep breath, "I barely managed to get away by slashing his eye out.  It was only blind luck I didn't become snackfood that day."
Hikari turned slightly as she noticed Carter's arduous awakening.
"Captain," the Oni nodded respectfully, unable to give a proper bow and choosing to ignore the human’s tear out of curtesy, "a pleasure to see you safe again."
