“Ah! I’m sorry about that, honey; I figured it would be less dried than that.†Catharine stepped back for a moment to pick up a wet rag with her right hand from the same basin the gloves were in and gently began to clean the blood out from around the large gash. It would have been likely running her cot red if it not for the quick rate it had dried.
She had been using her right arm for everything so far, but as she was soon finished gently cleaning out the area around the injury she had to begin using her prosthetic left forearm more. Laying her cleaning implement in the partially limp wooden hand, she took her real one and went up her sleeve to pull the lever to close it, making only a light click as it locked in at full tension around the cloth. Pulling out the greyish salve in her right pocket, she managed to uncap it using her thumb and emptied out a little of the contents onto the rag.
She began to hum a joyful and simple tune as she swapped which hands she had the rag in and continued to clean the edges around the gash in his hip. The salve worked simply by initially calming the reacting nerves and overriding them with a cool feeling and then progressing to lightly numb the whole area. She always appreciated the effects of jessamine and clary sage; it was relatively inexpensive and usually worked very well if not perfect. Sometimes it did not work, but it was generally safe to mix with other medicines anyways.
“There you go, sweetie. Does your ouchie hurt less now?â€
It was not even aimed at the Yellowjacket and even he could not resist being embarrassed by that.
