Astrid smiled at his touch but she didn’t want him to see it. she looked forward and they took off it took less then a few moments to get back and when they landed she slid off Stormfly and waited for Jack to join her side. “Okay let’s go let you fix me up” she joked to him.
Jack slid down, still unsteady on his feet when he landed but he did not fall this time.
He smiled and nodded, leading her to the kitchen “i need warm water”
She followed him with a small smile, “it’s sweet you want to fix me. Seriously though I’m sure it isn’t that bad. I survived through the scurve….a few years back” she told him. Which was true.
Jack grabbed some clean cloth from a cabinet and put water to boil. He grabbed some sweet smelling oil from a differend csbbinett and he dabbed some of the cloth with it before he pulled astrids arm up “This might sting a little..” He then removed his shirt piece and started to hold the clothe against the wound, cleaning away the exess blood, revealing how deep it was “i’ll need to give you a few stitches to stop it from bleeding completley, also it will scar less” Jack had heard her talk of the scurve, but he did not answer her.
Astrid watches him begin to clean her wound. The oil smelt sweet and filled the room. “What oil is that?” She asked curiously before she winced a bit as he cleaned the wound.
Seeing how deep it was she sighed, “thank you. For taking care of it” She spoke sweetly and softly watching him concentrate
“the oil contains clover and sage, good for inflamation and infection” he saw how deep it was and smiled softly as he walked into a backroom and soon came back with a sheeps vein, a needle and some sttong liqour. He also had a cloth. “here, put this between your teeth. I have to stitch the wound, its gonna hurt a bit…” he handed her the bottle “you could also drink some of this if you wanna numb the pain a bit” he smiled and kissed her forehead and then started to wash the vein and thread it on the needle.
Astrid nodded no, “I don’t need the clothes but thank you” She said to him and gave a small smile. She watched him set everything up and she breathed deeply. “The oil smells lovely I will say” she commented.
Jack smiled “always so brave, well it will be beside you if you chance your mind.” Jack walked over to the fire and held the metsl needle over the heat before walking back and laying her down on the table before he pierced her skin with the needle the first time.
Blood was tickling oit from the wound still, jack did his best to stop it while he cloased the wound, sewing it shut.
Astrid winced and went silent trying not to move too often. It hurt for sure but it could be worse. She just refused to look at it.
Though she could feel the blood trickling down her arm it was something g she focused on rather then the pain of him stitching her arm .
