Yeah. Yeah, believe me, I know. I could do it with a needle, or ...I could bite the inside of my lip. That's how I figured it out in the first place. But probably better to carry something else, too.

Maybe some of the black cloth? For the ointment, and the medicine. [but. gotta stay focused on the arm "wound". he will instruct her on the sprain later.] Is there a black tape? Close it up without stitches and keep corruption out?

[palamedes is a good teacher. she didn't expect less, but it's been a long time since anyone really taught her something. besides fighting. this is a completely new feeling. it's ...weird, but she doesn't hate it. at all.]
