[ he's become sort of used to having a very fast recovery time from cuts and scrapes, and is surprised when this one seems to be sticking around, being as small as it is.
it's very tempting, as someone who might have a low-key martyr complex and someone who really doesn't want to have an incident and go after blood like a shark in the way to just volunteer for a fuck me up fam. but that would mean having to look at his sins on his body!!! he can barely look at them on paper. the list is like a boulder strapped to his back for how awful it makes him feel.
no, okay. he can do it. he steels himself. there's a part of him that's become resigned to the fact that it could always get worse. ]
Okay, fine. You do me. [ since he's already got his forearm exposed, he just holds it out. ] Uh ... pride.
[ yeah. that's pretty benign compared to killing half the resistance — which was pride-related, actually. it's all coming together. ]
