[Ripa is sputtering when he turns on the comm. Yep, he got sprayed again. When he starts speaking he sounds tired and frustrated. Not to mention sarcastic.]

Oh, forgive me, you impetuous little device, if I have not been talking over you frequently enough for your liking

Hm. When I'm on my feet again, I'll take you up on that.

[defiant_rage]

Ah, yes, Commander.

Are you recovering well?

[psychoticracer]

Well and good, but it will never be fast enough.

[Famous last words, Erol.]

[defiant_rage]

I understand. Being off of ones feet, or not able to function at your full capacity, is frustrating beyond belief.

[psychoticracer]

[A tired chuckle. The Arbiter understands Erol better than most of his own species.]

Back home, a dose of green eco would have me back in a matter of minutes. Shame there's none here.

[defiant_rage]

Green eco? I am not familiar with such a substance... but from my culture, to be treated by a doctor is a dishonor. Our blood contains our honor, so spilling it senselessly shames us.

[psychoticracer]

Would medical treatment mean it was spilled for no good reason?

[defiant_rage]

For Sangheili, yes. It does. That is why prowess in battle is so vital-- so we do not require medical attention. You see how it forms a cycle?

[He pauses, then adds:]

I do not think that you have been shamed, however.
