JUNIPER
you think i'm happy because i'm smiling,
but it's the easiest thing to do
"You should probably sit down if I'm going to take the arrow out," Juniper replied, though she hated to tell him that all his effort getting to his feet had been wasted. Fortunately, she didn't use barbed arrows, so it should be fairly straightforward to just pull it out. But she didn't want Ianto to stagger or fall as she was doing it; she could imagine all sorts of unpleasant consequences for that. And she knew from experience -- with animals -- how much he'd bleed once that arrow came out and stopped blocking the wound. She took off the scarf she was wearing, with a little regret because it was one of her favorites and the blood would probably never come out of the white cloth, but it was a long, thick piece of well-woven fabric, so it might manage to slow the bleeding until they got to the village.but it's the easiest thing to do
Should she try to cut his coat and shirt away from the wound? Juniper decided against it. It would have to be done eventually, she suspected -- perhaps someone would have the unenviable job of picking fibers out of the wound before it got infected -- but she didn't have the expertise. Better to leave that to a proper healer, once they got him to a proper healer.
if you looked a little closer,
you'd find my eyes aren't smiling too.
