Laurence had to roll his eyes. Bandages. For a wound like that. A gaping laceration that was bleeding far more than it should. Yeah, bandages would get her nowhere.
“I know I can’t make you take the blood and I won’t force you. Even though it would heal your wounds in seconds and not even leave scars, but that is your choice.”, he hissed, “But do you really think BANDAGES are enough for that?! You need stitches. Which I can do by the way. And if not me then my clerics can do it. We all are elementary doctors. So if you don’t want to bleed out, you better lie down and let us WORK.”
As much as Laurence disliked Lilli, he didn’t want to see her dead. Especially not when she had been injured fending off a beast.
Just... why did she have to be so complicated?! He had told her that she should wait for other Hunters to join before attacking the beast. It wasn’t that hard hiding from them.
Lilli knows that bandages won’t do it. But she just can’t help it. Whenever she is injured around anyone, she acts like an injured animal. Growling and lashing out. She absolutely needs stitches. And while the thief has stitched herself up many times, this time she is sure that she couldn’t. Her hands shake, and would be not able to hold a needle properly. And her vision is a little blurry already. Has she really lost so much blood already? it’s hard to tell given that her clothes soacked most of it up. She needs help, and Lilli hates to admit this... So she simply doesn’t. Not exactly at least.
“ You. You are the only one who is allowed to do the stitches. If any of them- “
she points at the clerics around. Even going so far as glare at them,
“ -tries to touch me, I will cut of their hands. “
He was the only one she knows at least a little bit. So... apparently she had to trust Laurence on that. This time. Without another word, the woman pulls of her coat, to give him more access to the wound. The coat is already drenched in blood. Her own, and from the beast. It also got ripped in a few places, so she surely needed to stitch it up later. Then she starts fumbling with the lower buttons on her shirt. It took her abnormal long to open them, given her shaky hands and the blurry vision, before she finally had unbottoned enough to shove the shirt up, and give him complete view of the wound. Her shirt was also completely soaked in her blood, but it was far more noticeable given that it was white in color and the red was easily seen. But she is not going to remove it completely in front of him or anyone else.
Lilli then gives the vicar another glance, looking him over for a moment before laying down like he had told her. She did watch everyone else, if they did dare to come to close though, as she laid there and left him to do the stitches.
