If he wasn't used to looking after Arthur when he was wounded, this might be a bit worse. It's never nice to see someone you love hurt, of course, but this... should be fine. At least, that's what he keeps telling himself. His throat still feels a little thick, though.
"But this might hurt," he adds, before he starts cleaning it.
