[Don't worry Ruby, Estelle will thank you for everything. She'll help that self-esteem!! Or try her best to do so, anyway.

For now, though--despite the situation, a faint smile crosses her lips, even as she gives Ruby a serious nod.]

That's right. Alright then...

[She steps closer to Ruby and kneels in front of her, leaning in to inspect the injuries. Her smile disappears, worry taking its place at the sight of the cuts left by the thorns.]

Oh, you're bleeding... Let me...um...

[There's something--just out of mental reach, something she should be doing, she thinks, but the headache cuts off that line of thought. Whatever it is, she has to leave it be. What can she do, then? After a moment's thought...she considers the long sleeves of the cotton dress she's wearing.]

I think I can make some bandages. It should be better than leaving them be.
