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.

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.
