"What're y--?" Ugh, this wasn't that big of a deal. Was it because she was a woman? Really, she could just walk it off until the night was over, she wasn't going to allow this man's chivalry or misogyny back her into the timeout corner.

Narrowing her eyes at his command, she eventually relented and squeezed her eyes shut, but it didn't last long. The moment he touched her, pain blossomed across her face and made her eyes water. Reflexively, the brunette turned away and slapped him across the neck. "Ow! Yes! Goddamn... Listen, if you can't use cure on it, don't just poke at it..." She felt a bit childish pouting at the man, but fuck! He didn't need to be touching shit that shouldn't be touched.
