[ It had hurt, the last time she'd had her shoulder set, and she knew already that Ren wouldn't be as gentle about it. When he freed one of her wrists, she reached up to her shirt and stuffed the hem at her collar into her mouth. She could at least bite down on that. Muffle the fact that she was going to scream, hope she didn't break her teeth without something more substantial to bite down on.
She didn't thank him and she didn't meet his gaze, even as the knight came over with the material for a sling. In fact, she looked down and away. She hated his charity more than she hated his anger and his stupidity and that hideous scar on his face. It made her feel worthless to need help from someone who was such a monster to her.
But she wasn't too good to turn it down, either. She held her wrist back out to him. If she couldn't use the arm because she'd damaged it, leaving it out of its socket, she'd never be able to work again. Some things were more important than pride. ]
