It took Camo a moment to get over Sanguis' unusual reactions to the pain that must've been wracking her. He had forgotten that she treated it as a different sort of stimulus than most people. Regret surfaced when she requested that he remove the shard from her leg; not that he didn't want to help, but it struck him that he might not have the strength to do so without inflicting serious injury, the kind that even she could not withstand. Regardless, though, he was the only one around to help, and it would be easier on both of them if Sanguis saved her strength, so it only made sense that he would be the one to handle this task.

"Alright, just...try to hold your leg still," the archer requested as he knelt down beside her and fixed his gaze on the large splinter. "I'm going to try to lift it out nice and easy, see if we can't do this without too much fuss..." He hesitated for a moment before gently placing one hand just above her knee for leverage and then grabbed the shard with his other hand. Taking a deep breath, he started to pull it upward...

...to no effect, save some aggravation to both parties. It seemed to be wedged firmly into her wound and wouldn't come out easily. "Dangit...OK, let me try again. Ready?" Once she was ready, Camo would try again to liberate the splinter from Sanguis' leg, but it wouldn't budge without the use of some serious force. Unfortunately, that posed a problem to him, not just because he lacked the strength needed to pull it out but because doing so would probably reopen the wound. Without the proper supplies, that could lead to risks of infection or dramatic blood loss, and either one of those (let alone both) would seriously hurt their chances of making it back to Beacon alive. What to do...?
