[Alex appreciates her gentle hand more than she can possibly imagine; particularly with having no earthly idea as to how he's gotten himself injured. Well, no specifics, anyway. :\
He feels the pain ebbing as she continues to work her magic, able to move his midsection without any remnants by the time she is asking to attend to his back. However, he's not completely lost to her efforts and her quick draw of breath is not missed by his keen hearing.
He looks up at her, shifting into a sitting position that does nothing for his back and pulls the slice to his hip somethign awful. However, he manages to keep his reaction to the pain from his face and studies her own. He is sitting up now, but instead of turning his back to her for healing, he shakes his head.]
Nuh-uh, doc .. you've already done way more than I could have hoped for. My back's fine (NOT!) or at the very least can wait (possibly). You shouldn't run yourself down like this .. I'll be fine.
[Look .. he managed all that without a single grimace of pain! He's made a right mess of the cot linens .. let's ignore the whole still oozing blood from his hip and back thing, shall we?]
