Ellie's half-tempted to stab her with it for daring to suggest it, but she's all too aware of the fact that she needs the help to get it done, and she doesn't want to wake anyone with such a comparatively minor injury.
That said, she's not entirely sure of how many of them don't know how to properly do sutures, given what passes for medicine here. The hack job she'd done of Joel's gut had been pretty in comparison.
With a sigh, she hands over the needle, as well as the elfroot salve she's using to disinfect it and promote healing.
"It's in a shitty place for it," she grumbles, but does shift her pants farther down on that side -- still decent if anyone walks in, but enough to show a multitude of other scars. More, once she pulls up her tunic on that side, showing the rather gnarly one she'd gotten in Santa Barbara.
It nearly did her in, and the edges of the scars there show it. She ripped the stitches out by fighting before it was healed enough to bear it, and far more than once.
