Mercury wrapped the bandage around Jupiter's calf, trying to staunch the heavy bleeding. Her brow furrowed in equal parts concentration and aggravation.
"You should be more careful," she admonished.
"I know."
"I mean it."
Mercury stopped bandaging, pinned Jupiter with her eyes. Jupiter looked away first.
"I know."
"You probably need stitches; I'll take a closer look later."
"Okay."
"I'll get crutches. Stay off that at least a week."
Jupiter vehemently protested, but again relented under Mercury's unflinching gaze.
When Mercury was satisfied with her fieldwork she rose, helped Jupiter stand, and insisted on supporting her all the way home.
