But every time a wound is dressed, mustn't it be re-cleaned, it stave off infection? I recall that from a book.
Well, if you are confident, then I will simply swap the cloth. But I would feel better if we followed instruction to ensure a clean heal. Humans can be very fragile.
[Out of an abundance of caution, Milla cleans the wound—first, with one corner of the towel, then dabbing it dry with the other. It's a clumsy, but clearly gentle action, done with ample caution to Akane's own tension.]
I'm going to bind it again, now. Tell me if it is too tight.
[With quick, deft movements, Milla wraps the stab wound, checks the tightness with a finger—then wraps it once more, finishing with a clean, unobtrusive knot.
Fancy.]
Is that acceptable? I can re-wrap it, if it isn't.

During the assault on the enemies this week, I was compromised by a projectile. I mistook it as simply a physical attack, but--
[Her eyes dart around the room briefly, and she scowls, shaking her head.]
To put it bluntly, it's extremely inconvenient. I feel as though I'm losing my mind.

Do you need any assistance with your bandaging, Akane? I apologize for being so late in asking you.

Date: 2019-06-23 03:34 am (UTC)[ ...... she means, as in, it's okay that you didn't ask sooner. she'll forgive you for that. ]
But if you wouldn't mind helping, that would be nice. It's hard to get it by myself, since it's my own arm.

Do you have all the pieces for dressing? I've been practicing this week, so I should be able to do it quite skillfully.

But the cut itself is clean. A simple, clean stabbing. ]

Date: 2019-06-25 12:07 pm (UTC)Valvatorez and I have been practicing splinting and bindings on each other throughout the last few days, in preparation for such an eventuality!
I am glad it was able to come in handy so soon.
