CARING FOR STUBBORN MUSES
@aelleyon: "You’ll be even worse off if you don’t let me bandage this."
Sam doesn't know them enough to trust them, and much like a dog with a hurt paw, he wants them nowhere near his wounds and growls, threatening to bite.
But the truth is, his makeshift tourniquet hasn't stopped the bleeding, and he can't reach the wound to disinfect, bandage, or even stitch it himself. If he wants to survive, he'll have to trust that they have good intentions.
"Fine."
Sam concedes through gritted teeth, face contorted into a scowl.
"Just… be careful, okay?"
