Mutely, she holds out her arm. It's definitely going to scar. Yet another mark for her to carry as a reminder. She tries to crack a smile. "So much for t-shirts." Her heart's not really in it.
She looks over Voodoo's shoulder at the knot of Cleaners. Half are staring at Ferro- at her- like they expect this to all be a bad dream. The other half have their eyes fixed on the ground. She doesn't meet any of their eyes. She ducks her head back around Voodoo for cover.
"Cold water?" Anything else isn't going to help. Already the pain is radiating up her arm. It hurts to bend her elbow. It hurts to move it too much. Kandel, no doubt, is going to be thrilled to have to deal with Lindianne getting hurt again.
At least it's not a head injury this time.
"...Something feels different. You know?" It's a victory. Bitter? Yes. Not easy to reach? Definitely. But it's a decisive moment. Something's changed.
