You blink a few times. Wow, she was ready a lot faster than you had expected her to be, and she didn’t seem surprised to see you pull your molecules out of thin, well, not technically air, per say, but still.
You opt for walking up to her, but you resist hugging her. That much contact would probably leave jade stains on her clothes, and you couldn’t have that. So you put a hand on her shoulder and squeeze a bit.
Then you start to greet her and your voice quavers.
Hello Ros- *cough*
You cough loudly to cover your voice’s betrayal of your distress.
You’re concerned by the tone of her voice immediately, and you decide to set to work quickly, taking the larger towel and giving it to her right off the bat.
Lie down on the couch if you’d like. You don’t sound well. I’ll prepare some isopropyl-doused towels for the cuts. Where should the first one go?
You splash some alcohol generously over one of the hand towels and rub it until it’s evenly applied.
