[She's holding the screen as steady as she can given the fact her hands are shaking even more after Leonard's breathing hitches. The critical alerts that flash make her want to cry, but she's got to hold it in. She has to be strong now, just like Jim is doing. So she gives a brief nod in response to getting their patient cleaned up, keeping the screen held steady in one hand while digging through the medkit to find the proper supplies to clean things up.
Thankfully, she's able to grab hold of some things, but the blood on her hands likely ruins the cleanliness of them. That's no matter now, they can worry about treating infection once they get back to the station.
For Clara, the matter of finding the orb so they can go back has been escalated to a critical situation. The sooner she can help get it done, the better.]
Nah, you're not going anywhere.
[It's spoken to Leonard, as she begins setting out the supplies for Jim to use for cleaning. As soon as her hand is empty, she reaches out to brush back Leonard's hair off his forehead. She's smiling in that way she does when she thinks it may be goodbye, a bittersweet but resilient gesture to show that everything's just fine. She and Jim, they've got this handled. Even if he's the one doing all of the work.]
We'll all be laughing about this in a month or so. Just you wait.
[Not that a critical, life threatening injury is anything to laugh about. But she's trying her best to be soothing and calm. And needs to say these things out loud for herself as well as for them.
While Jim works at preparing the area for stitches, she dips back into the medkit to pull out the proper supplies for a good suturing. She easily finds the little packaged kit, pulling out the needle drivers and forceps. There's a needle and thread in there too, and she works to prepare passing the thread through that needle. When it's all nice and ready, she sets aside the screen so both she and Jim can see, and slides over to hold the tools they'll need moving forward. ]
