Anxiety
She tried to play it off but something in the glance Spike gave her made her doubt if she had been successful. It was hard though… hard to pretend you understood everything going on. Hard to pretend that reckless stunts in a space barely largely than a coffin didn’t freak you out.
In the moment, things just flowed. Sure, she was nervous but there was never time to truly think about what was happening or what she had to do next. She just acted. So far this system had resulted in survival every time but that was no guarantee for the future. Instinct, especially instinct based solely on your body’s physical response to external stimuli, wasn’t gonna keep her from getting hurt or worse someday.
Frankly she was just lucky that her ship responded so immediately to the kneejerk course corrections she’d put it through time and time again. It was like an extension of her own body and moved in the ways she demanded without a second of hesitation. But she barely knew how it actually worked. She could fuel it up, could clean off the globe to have a clear line of sight - not even necessary given the scans that let her see so much more than the naked eye could ever hope to. She just didn’t know how to fix so much as a spark plug. Did it even use spark plugs? What even was a spark plug?
Thinking too much about things made her anxiety soar. There was so much she didn’t know and didn’t understand. So much that she tried to simply accept so that her mind didn’t freak out. She couldn’t afford to stop or even pause when life was moving a mile a minute and she had to be ready to jump into action if she wanted to stay alive.
Her hands were trembling so she laced her fingers together and put them at the back of her head as she walked down the spinning hallway next to the lanky cowboy. It wouldn’t do to let him see how anxious she was in the aftermath of their mission. She couldn’t let them know she was so woefully unprepared to actually undertake these jobs. And in reality she wasn’t as ill suited for bounty hunting as she thought, if she just let herself react then she was usually fine.
Muscle memory from an unknown past… what type of life had she led that she could be so well versed in gunplay? Had she been a soldier? A cop? A gangster? A hunter?
So many questions. So much uncertainty. She was about to flip out.
Spike paused at her side and she automatically stopped as well. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, pulled out a pair of smokes and lit them both before offering her one. Her hand managed to be tremble-free as she wordlessly took the cigarette from him. He gave her a wink and then clenched his own cigarette between pursed lips as he spun the door open to let them into the living room.
The nicotine and tobacco combination hit her lungs and her mind at the same time. The cigarette itself gave her something to do with her hands. Her moment of panic was already beginning to diminish as she made her way past the couch and headed for the bathroom.
