"I think this is the next one" Freydis said, pointing a big cut on Claire's side to Dag, just below one of her breasts, which had been cleaned of blood.
"Yes, it looks deep... if you need to do sothing else, you just have to tell . For now, I'm moving this way and trying to keep her still... I don't know how long the effect of herbs will last" Dag answered, who left Claire's shoulders and took a bottle of the ointnt that had given him one of the two kind ladies.
He opened the bottle and slled its contents, which was intense and bitter.
"Bleah... I think this will speed up the healing process... let's put it on the wound and cover it with a clean cloth" he said, reminding Freydis that before proceeding with the other wounds, it would be wise to use all the resources at their disposal.
"All right, do it yourself" she replied, continuing to study the cut on the side and trying to figure out what was the best way to stitch it up.
Dag grabbed the white trousers that were part of his clothing for the night and tore it off, realizing that both he and Freydis would need more clean bandages.
After gently saring the stinking ointnt on Claire's eye, he tore a thin piece of white cloth and placed it on the eye, making it adhere without suffocating the wound thus preventing its oxygenation and grabbed the two flaps of the cloth, raising the girl's neck and tying them behind her nape.
anwhile, Freydis was struggling with the second wound and kept turning on herself to find a comfortable position so she could intervene at her best.
"Wait, I'll turn the table, so the fireplace light ends exactly where you need" Dag said, who without hesitation, rotated the table counterclockwise, taking care not to drop Claire's body, which given her slender build, was very light.
"You have to move her breasts, otherwise I can't hold my hand still" she said.
"Uhm... sure... give a mont" he replied, who after those words, felt a terrible embarrassnt flow into his body.
His girlfriend was asking him to grab one of Claire's breasts, the girl who tried to seduce him.
Dag thought that the last ti he caught a glimpse of Claire's nudity was when Hjalmar took advantage of her in front of the cage in which the Renegades held him captive, causing him to boil in his rage and threaten him.
In those circumstances, however, after the tension of the eye operation, Claire's naked body was totally visible and lying on the table, under his hands.
When he executed Freydis' order and his hand touched the black-haired girl's warm breasts, her embarrassnt increased and without giving in the eye, his gaze fell on her intimate parts.
...
"Here, I'm done... this is gone too! You can leave your grip, you smartass! Ehehe!" Freydis exclaid, ironizing that Dag had been squeezing Claire's breasts in his hand for several minutes, unwilling to let it go.
"But what are you saying! Of course, I leave it, you asked to lift it, don't you rember?" he replied, blushing slightly.
When Claire's last wound was dicated with oil coming out of the ointnt bag, Freydis sat on one of the two stools around the table, resuming breathing normally and looking at her hands, covered in the blood of the unsuspecting patient.
"You saved her life" Dag stated, out of nowhere, walking toward the water tank and washing his hands.
"Even though she's an impostor, she's also a mber of the Iron Alliance. I just did my duty as a soldier... I'm sure she would have done the sa to " Freydis replied, tired after staying focused all that ti.
"Yes, I think so" Dag replied with a smile, though he was actually thinking the exact opposite, imagining the scene of Claire's voluntarily deciding not to save Freydis and thus be able to seduce him without competition.
"Actually... I did it more for you than for her, Dag" Freydis continued, struggling to get up from the stool to wash her hands.
Dag responded with a confused expression, not imdiately understanding what she was referring to.
"I know that what you feel for is real, I feel it every ti you look at , I feel it inside ... but I also know that you care a lot about this girl, you two are bound by sothing."
Dag turned to the fire, pretending to look at the wall and not knowing imdiately what to answer, being slightly embarrassed.
"It is true, there is no point hiding it. Nothing ever happened between and her, I explained it to you a long ti ago. However, from the first mont I t her, I always felt a strong sense of protection for her, as if an inner voice told that my job was to defend this girl from those who wanted to hurt her... I felt like a worm when she was kidnapped, also because I knew well that she had boarded the Iron Erald because of " Dag replied, taking courage and looking Freydis in the eye, knowing that his truthful words would be appreciated by her, who hated lies.
"Maybe it's sothing that cos from the fact that you both co from Earth... think about it, you have more in common with her than with ..." the Shieldmaiden said, turning to the water tank and rubbing her hands forcefully against each other, to wash away the encrusted blood.
"Don't say nonsense! I only t Claire a few months ago! You and I have known each other since we were two kids who barely knew what was on the outskirts of Jernhest! Your speech is stupid, I don't like it!" he exclaid, raising his voice and contrasting the words of Freydis, who seed lancholic.
"Uff... I don't know, maybe I'm just tired. Anyway, know I'm not jealous at all. There's no need. If it's true that you always want to be with , then it will like that, I don't have to convince you to do anything. Jealousy would only drive you away from and that's the last thing I want" she continued, wiping her hands and turning to him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, without giving him ti to reciprocate the gesture.
