Well, you are right, Miss Gray.

[Liem keeps his head down as he works, pressing a soft piece of cloth over the wound to absorb any further bleeding, then beginning to wrap the arm up with a careful winding of the bandages. Briefly, he pauses to turn his face away — and when he returns his gaze to his work, the blood adorning his mouth is gone, replaced only by a slight dampness.]

Still, it’s my burden to bear, not yours. I’m sure you have your own troubles to worry about, yes?

[Ideally a young woman like her would be focusing on making her way through an apprenticeship, assisting with her family’s work, or maybe thinking about seeking a good marriage. Worries about the fate of existence are a weighty enough replacement to such matters; Gray surely doesn’t need anything else added onto the pile.]
