She glanced up at him, and blushed a bit when she realized he’d seen. She pressed the handkerchief against the cut to hide the blood and then also hid her hand beneath the table for good measure; out of sight, out of mind. Hopefully. “… you mean I should add it to this bone?”

“True.” She glanced down at her hand and sighed. Why was she always such a bleeder? Especially when it came to hand wounds. It was barely more than a scratch but was still bleeding. She made sure to keep that part hidden. “…I suppose there’s no need to ask yet. I can ask in person when he comes back.”

"Perhaps so." He nodded at her hand. "You'd best get that bandaged; it's hard to carve with one hand. Is it bad?"

She blushed more and glanced down at her hand, still keeping it hidden. “…No. Hands just bleed a lot. But it’s not deep… sorry.”

She nodded. “…Is the infirmary unlocked? I don’t need to wake Sera up for something this stupid.”

"Okay." She sighed and stood up, glancing down at her hand and the bloodied rag. How did she always mess things up this badly? "Sorry. I'll be back. Sorry." She turned towards the door.

"No apology needed," Gaius called after her. "If it's all the same to you, I'm going to go clean myself up while you're busy; come get me when you're ready to go back to the grove."

"No rush." She gestured at the bone that she'd set on the table. "I'm not even done with that yet. I'll have to bandage this and then come back and finish that. It will take me a little while... though I will also try to be as quick as I can."
