[ He'd get mad and yell at him for it if he knew him a little better. As it is, it doesn't feel like his place and he knows he's missing too much of the picture to react like that and probably just make things worse. He's not someone who ever shoots off his mouth without trying to really understand a situation first, where someone is actually coming from. Not unless he's provoked. Especially with someone he knows is kind and likes, even if he's really frustrated. Especially at that, "you're the one who's hurting now"...
He swallows, unable to control his expression for a moment at that. Twisting in frustrated anguish, and he looks away abruptly. Yes, he's hurting. And that isn't the point, you ass.
Don't misjudge him though. He's way too stubborn to give up just because your coping mechanism makes you act like a dick. Bullshit that the cold doesn't hurt.
He stares down at the ointment for a moment before answering, and his hands ball up. Fingers pressing hard into his palms. ]
They don't bother me. [ It's calm, but stubborn. And true. Rougher-sounding that usual. And he stands, a little unsteadily because what rest he got was not great and one of those grazes caught his thigh, and starts to make his way over to where he saw Viktor keep the first aid kit from when he used it before on him. ]
LMAO it wasn't mine either!! I thought it would continue for like 2-3 more tags!!

I should take care of the blood first anyway.
