[ Maybe he's being far too sentimental and just a little bit silly, especially given the continuous chaos brewing just outside of their half-in-shambles cabin car, but he reaches out with his good hand to make her pause.
It doesn't take long, just like he says, for him to do an inspection on her injuries this time, thumb grazing over the light cuts and scrapes on her forehead, at her temple. It's the redness around her throat that cuts at something deep in his chest, the way the bruises are already beginning to blossom into dark blooms of colour. He only lets his fingers hover over her skin before pulling back.
He has to remind himself that it isn't — can't be — Newt who'd done the deed, but something else, something he needs to get to the bottom of in order to stop him. But at this very moment, it's hard to push that memory aside. All he wants to do is exact some sort of equal opportunity revenge. An eye for an eye.
