( For a man who is mechanically working to fix up his protégé's stitches, this is the most he can say to her? But his chiding isn't entirely unwarranted. She ought to know better than to attack a mage head-on. And while on most days Integra can remain perfectly obedient on the field, one word from him can, at times, send her fuming. Problematic when the point of one's work is remain unnoticed and well out of view. And while her lacerations were hardly life threatening, her will to escape direct combat with little more than a few scrapes. They both could have been compromised were she any less cautious.

Perhaps he might have jabbed the needle through her skin a little too tightly.

And before even giving her a chance to react, he's moved on to gather his utensils, nonchalantly wiping away the blood and working to sanitize them meticulously. )
