Belias slowly moved his hands, placing his warm palm over Betty's small shoulder. He looked up to Zari with a frown, deep lines etched into his face making him seem older than he was. "I'm afraid not, all we can do right now is get Betty's arm in a sling and try to make sure she doesn't overwork the muscle."
He felt Betty's tiny form tense up under his hand and he winced, baring his teeth for the slightest of moment before looking into the soft green eyes, watery and hurt that looked over his knuckles into his own eyes.
"I have to do stretches?" It had been so long since Belias had heard Betty's voice crack like that. So much fear and pain held in the simple sentence, and Belias simply slowly nodded, moving to pull Betty closer to himself.
"I know they hurt so much, little one. But we have to do them to keep your scar healing okay? We'll do it slow and careful like always. Make sure to tell me if something feels wrong okay?" His voice was gentle and careful, soothing Betty's fears as she wrapped her small hands around his forearm.
