[ he glances up at percy over jiuqing with that - because great liang knows guns, and this sounds like he's asking after a gunshot - before he goes back to assessing everything.
then, he's back to touching, cautious and gauging her reaction. ]
... Miss Su, there's something under the surface still. If we leave it, it may become infected as your body tries to expel it or heals around it. I'm not sure the pods will resolve this.
It sounds like a lot. I'm just glad you all made it out. [ he glances downwards a moment before stepping away a bit. ] Do you think it's something you'd want to try and take out tonight? Before we're all shut in...?
[ hm. they'll have to do it quickly, if that's the case. ]
Are either of you in possession of your knives still..? Vax has had mine since we received them. If nothing else, we can make a paste from the pain relievers to make it easier to cope with, and I have a precise hand. It would be quick.
...I think I'd like to, yes. The sooner it's out, the sooner it can heal properly.
[can you imagine if i hadn't bullied you guys into this tonight? percy could have sadly cut (redacted) out of jiuqing while she told him what to do and they mourned chang geng.
anyway, she indicates her bag. it's there in a corner of the medbay, probably having been left behind when she got whisked away earlier that morning.]

That... is deplorable. [ fuck ] ... Was there an accompanying noise before the impact?
[ he has to close his eyes briefly ]
Like a small explosion...?

I... perhaps? It was so loud. We were in a cave, and everything was echoing...
[she winces under his touch, but nods.]
...then we'll have to cut it out, won't we?

My knife is in there.

in any case, when she points, percy is going to go and make himself useful, fetching the bag so they can rifle through it and grab her knife.
a moment of hesitation, then: ]
Can I do anything to be of help?
