"Yeah," Ellie grumbles, sensing that judgment, sensitive to it. Given how she got it-
She falls into silence as Abby leans in close, trapping one of her legs between hers, close enough to get a whiff of the pine soap Abby's favored even in Thedas. It makes her stomach turn over.
"I got caught in a snare around my ankle. Swung back and hit the tree. There was a broken-off branch. The part that was left was sharp. It went in a few inches."
She'd like to see Abby find a way to fucking survive that, let alone make it look pretty. But really, she's talking just to talk. Like that'll somehow stave off the intense weirdness of having Abby this close to her. Helping.
Ellie breathes out, and manages not to jump at the sting from the needle going in, tugging at her. She takes deep, slow breaths. It's familiar, but still very gross sensation.
