[The steady trickle of blood travelling down Gray's bare arm is what convinces him. He cannot think too hard about it here, with her still bleeding right in front of him with second that passes by. He must either accept her offer here and now, or he must refuse and bind the arm promptly — and she is right. Refusing her blood will not heal her arm, but accepting it will improve his ability to keep them both safe, at need.]
Very well.
[Carefully, Liem shifts his gentle hold on her arm so that he can lift it toward him. He tries to force down his own reluctance, not wanting to meet her generous offer ungratefully.]
I will make sure to repay you.
[Still, he avoids meeting Gray's eyes as he dips his head, draws his tongue up the line of blood sliding over her skin, and presses his mouth against the still-bleeding slash on her arm.]
