It's a careful process, of trying to wrap what she can purely off how she saw others bandage each other at trials, having to brace herself and grit her teeth and let heat and nausea flow over her anytime she has to brace her touch near the space of his left side, buckling down to press her forehead into his lap and force out her breathing until the pain subsides. But she is nothing if not persistent, stubborn despite the pain, and she's covered in a cold sweat by the time she's finally placing the last of the medical tape.]

No, it's fine. I'll be okay regardless, I think, so the main concern is not leaving blood everywhere...
