[She might have flinched for Ren if he were anyone else, or if she wasn't greedily sucking in air after having been released. But in spite of both things, she is hastily climbing to her feet when she feels herself capable of movement again, refusing to let Ren taunt her from a superior vantage point. Even being on her feet when he spits in her direction doesn't temper the furious shake of her shoulders, nor does it temper the baring of carnivorous teeth.
And in that moment, she could hate no other more than she hates Kylo Ren. She stays silent, a clear desire to finish what had been started searing through every ounce in her blood. But that is where she differs from the full grown child being made to skulk away. She is in control, where he has none.
She snaps back, shouting past the hoarseness in her voice.]
Maybe next time you'll actually land a punch, buckethead.
[The back of her hand comes up to wipe away blood from her nose, and she doesn't bother to try and hide her frustration with Prince's interference. She says nothing and turns away from him, intent on putting what energy she has into returning equipment to its proper home, ignoring the dull ache in her limbs. She's hardly grateful for the rescue -- Ren would no doubt hold it over her head forever..]
