Nill drops the tail almost as soon as it's out, but otherwise she does a good job of staying still until he's got the rope tied around her. One hand grips the wall while he works at it, half for something to grip now that the tail and her knife are on the ground, and half to make sure her knees don't give out.
That part only lasts about as long as it takes him to finish. She hadn't thought she'd feel so much shittier with the tail out but she does, and she really hopes that's just a product of needing to pull a xenomorph tail out of her side and not because it was poisoned and the poison wasn't spreading until after the tail was out.
She offers him a very shaky smile, and then using her hand to make sure it's not too abrupt, slides to actually sit down, leaning her shoulder heavily against the wall in an effort to put as little strain on the wound as she can. She lifts a hand to it, and the bleeding does seem like it's lessened a lot, though the color isn't much better now than it was before. Maybe that's a good thing.
"Can we stay here for a little?"
While she does a good job of keeping it off her face, it shows in the way her shoulders hunch, and her wings twitch every so often. It hurts, and though she knows they can't stay here for an extended period, she'd like to put off needing to move around with it for a few minutes.
