Meche wondered if Albedo knew that Mercedes really referred to Santa Maria de la Mercedes--the Virgin Mary--or if he was just playing with the similar sounds of the names. He kept surprising her, this kid. Especially when he pronounced that this pain didn't count, and she was hit again by how unsettlingly grown-up he sounded--

"Oh!" she cried as he bit his finger, but even though she reached out instinctively, it was already too late to stop him. Blood was welling up and sliding down the finger. Meche looked around for something absorbent to press against it, but when she looked back, the little cut was glowing--and then disappearing. She stared with her mouth open, completely taken aback.

Well, that certainly put the lid on her argument about bandages. Meche closed her mouth. But then again, she thought she could still see that wound by his collarbone, plus whatever was under the wrappings. If his powers were limited here like Senna's, he might not be able to fix it all. It would be safer to leave the bandages on, if that was the case.

"That's very impressive," she said sincerely. "But it looks like you still have other injuries. You might be better off to leave those wrappings on and wait until you can fix yourself all up. If you take them off now, the nurses will probably just come over and fix them and you'll have to do it all over again."
