Patricia’s lips twitched, after which she forced herself to say, “It’s fine.”

Then, she opened the first aid kit and brought the disinfectant and ointment out.

Then, Ellar snapped out of it and went on to aid Patricia with her wounds, being exceedingly gentle with her while he was at it. It was inconvenient for Patricia to do it herself as she only had one good arm, so she resigned herself to Ellar’s care. However, she also found his actions hilarious.
