Sohalia
There was only a moment's hesitation before El agreed, and Soh relaxed a little in her seat, pleased to be able to be of assistance. She took the tweezers and reached for El's arm, gently resting her pinky on their skin to steady her hand. She was just about to begin when they moved, startling Soh, who withdrew her hands quickly in case El had changed their mind. Instead, she was surprised when her new friend reached into a bag and pulled out an herb. "Oooo," said Soh, intrigued. "What kind of herb is that?" Maybe it was something to add to her journal!
Remembering the task at hand, Soh again reached out, steadying El's arm with one gentle hand. She began to carefully pick at the splinters, trying to be as soft and tender as possible. She didn't want to cause El any pain, but removing splinters was never a fun time. She continued on until she didn't see any more wood embedded in their arm, then set the splinters down and reached for the antiseptic. "This may sting," she warned El in a quiet voice. "Would you prefer to do it?" She held out the damp gauze to them, a question in her gaze.
