So maybe she isn’t as bad as she thought when it came to this. A far more genuine smile crosses her face at his admission that she’s correct, appreciating the tiniest bits of acknowledgement and praise to look back on later. Her gaze is intent as it lingers on Nate, gathering all the information she can in regards to it. A few minutes does not sound like a lot, but it’s definitely a lot longer in the thick of the battle. She knows that from experience, at the very least.

With slings or splints or something to keep them straight, so they don’t break or fracture further?” Her head tilts, appreciating that she might be good at this or completely wrong – but at least she’s alone with him and won’t look like an idiot in front of others.
