[ Mercedes remains standing, though she'll at least work to get those bandages loose from his arm so she can take a better look at his injury. Might as well do this as quickly as she can while he's feeling cooperative enough to hold doors open for her and sit quietly while griping. ]

At least he does hold his arm out to make things a tad easier for her, because look: as rude as he is, he isn't, like, completely unappreciative.
And yes, fine, he's also aware that this is a bit more than a scratch! It's a nasty, fairly deep cut, so admire that, Mercedes, as he glowers at the wall.]

[ Mercedes is certainly fussing now, even as she slides one hand under his arm and places her other hand slightly over the cut. With a flex of her fingers, a soft, warm light begins to work on the torn flesh. Not as quickly as it'd usually go for her, but better than it had been upon her arrival. ]

The important thing was stopping the bleeding.
