[She lifts the hand a little from her injured side to look underneath, grimaces slightly, and clamps it back down. Now that two-thirds of her assailants are down for the count, and the third looking less and less like a threat, she's beginning to let her guard down - at least, as much as she ever does.]

But the other woman's intervention has left a sour taste in her mouth, almost as much as the nagging sense that she might actually have needed it. It makes it hard to summon up much energy to care. She's too busy fighting down a horrible sense of embarrassment.]
