A little boo-boo

There wasn't a huge amount of blood welling from the small slit, due to how small the injury was. And when Manea echoed the thought that it didn't really hurt, Mariah offered a quick nod in acknowledgment before finally shifting her attention from the cut to her mother's face. "Good." It seemed to be a cut that wouldn't have any problem taking care of itself.

Mariah observed as her mother picked up the bandages that she had retrieved. Maybe that was all that was needed from her, but the girl was fully prepared to observe as Manea treated herself. But instead, when she invited for assistance, the girl was quick to accept- taking the roll back without any further prompting. She listened intently to the instructions she was offered with an air of sudden seriousness. "Okay." Mariah answered as she began to complete her task. Ever so gently, she held the end of the bandage to the side of the injury and maintained the pressure there as she began to apply the bandage- circling it around the limb that was held out. Mariah took special care to ensure that she held it firmly away as to prevent it from becoming too loose from hidden wrinkles. Though it was difficult for her to judge just how tight was too tight, as she couldn't feel the pressure for herself. When she made three complete rotations and there was no longer any danger of the start of the wrap slipping away, she looked up to Manea's maternally affectionate gaze. "Does that feel okay?" She asked, genuinely unsure if what she had done was acceptable or not.
