「 RP MEME : WAYS TO REACT TO AN INJURY . 」 @loyalxtotheend asked: ‘ here, let me help you. ’ from lydia, pre-s1 verse?
MINERVA HADN’T HEARD the door open, nor had she heard footsteps approaching her. She had been distracted, she supposed. Normally she was much more on edge, much more observant than that, aware of even the slightest sound. But not now. Now she felt groggy, barely half-conscious as she tried to scrub the blood from her skin.
Lifting her head quickly from where it rested against the side of the tub, her eyes widened, every muscle in her body suddenly tense when she heard the other woman speak. But as her gaze fell on Lydia, she relaxed, just a little.
“I don’t need help,” she mumbled, averting her gaze. Her shoulders slumped, head hanging as she rinsed the cloth in her hand again before lifting it to continue scrubbing none-too-gently at her skin. “I’m fine.”
