Harmony huffed. "Fine, do it quickly. And hopefully in the future I won't get wounds."

"Very well."

Leonas pushed back her sleeve, then reached into his bag and pulled out a container of rubbing alcohol. After wetting a pad with it, he hesitated, then pressed it up against the wound.

Harmony kept a forced smile on her face, hoping it would help with the pain. She squeezed her other hand behind her back and balled up a bit of her shirt to squeeze better, taking a deep breath and holding it.

Leonas gagged quietly as a thick, white liquid started dripping out. "Do not open your eyes."

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Spark, walking through the forest, was about to enter town when he felt intense emotions coming from behind him. He couldn't understand it, frankly. There was a quiet frustration, but also pain and anger and resolve. Was a fight going on? He started running towards the source.

The last of the liquid spilled out, and the redness became less feverish and more of just a shade. Leonas held the pad to the wound for a few more seconds for good measure, then took it away. He tried to not to focus too hard on all the pus covering her wrist. "Let me grab a towel for that..."

[Negative_Null They/Them]

Spark bursts through the bushes, wielding a stick in one hand and a small knife in the other, then, seeing what's going on, he... they put them away. "You know, that makes a lot more sense now that I think about it. How are you, my friends?"

"Meet Spark." Leonas finished toweling away the liquid, then wetted a cloth--this time just with water--and pressed that to the wound. Hopefully that would help sooth the pain.

Feeling Leonas's disgust firsthand, Spark can't help but agree. Besides, pus? "That's certainly not a situation you want to get into again."
