i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
El's eyes opened as Sohalia asked if they wanted help, and they only hesitated for a moment before nodding yes in response. If they hadn't been so exhausted, they might have declined, or perhaps just hesitated longer, but at this point, they were too tired to care.
So they leaned back in their chair to get comfortable, then rested their elbow on the table, trying to give Sohalia good access to their arm. As they waited, a bit of nerves began to crawl around their stomach. They hadn't been cared for like this by someone else in a long time, and it made them nervous, apparently. Thinking about the past made them remember something, and they took their arm off the table for a moment to rummage around in their bag.
"When you're done, let me know. I have these to put on under the bandage." From their satchel they had removed a couple of stalks of green herb, which currently rested in their open hand. They closed their hand around the soft leaves and moved their injured arm onto the table again.
