[In spite of his best efforts to steel himself, when Basil does finally see the extent of Max's injuries, his breath catches in his throat. It may actually be worse, somehow, seeing the wounds like this than it would be to see them open, fresh and bloody. He hesitates for just a moment, but he isn't brought back to the day he hunted for the first time, and feasted on another's flesh.
He's remembering what she looked like. How pale her skin had quickly become...and how her body had felt as they dragged her to the yard, still warm yet quickly growing cold and stiff in death.
Basil closes his eyes for a moment before quickly shaking his head to snap himself out of it, going for some antisceptic wipes from the first-aid kid first.]
I-it's okay. You can't help it.
[He doubts antisceptic will do much for her when her body is already dead- can she get infections anymore?- but what feels more important right now is cleaning the wounds of what they're oozing, whether it's actually blood, or a mossy slurry. He's just glad for her sake that his hands are still a bit warm as he moves to press one of the wipes to her skin, trying to clean the areas first as best he can.]
It might sting a bit, so stop me if it hurts too bad...b-but I want to get some of this stuff out before I wrap it.
