"I brought in medical supplies" says Luke "make sure he doesn't die, I'll guard the door"

he walks out leaving Bell's mouth hanging open. 

What is this absurd-

"Bluebell?" asks George. He's helping Arthur sit up. 

He looks absolutely terrible. He winces as he struggles to sit up and that causes Bell to move forward. She reaches them and helps him sit. 

There's blood everywhere, Bell doesn't even know where to start exactly. 

she eyes his whole body, trying to see if she'll find any open wounds. 

There are non, just bruises and cuts. 

"you've broken a rib" she observes "maybe an arm"

"tell me something I don't know" he says softly, barely sounding through the pain.

He looks half dead. How he's sitting upright right now and talking is beyond anything Bell has ever seen. What is this man made of?

she grabs the medicine bag and rummages through it. 

"I need herbs" she says, looking up at George.

"what do you need?"

she gives him a list of all the plants she needs and he steps out to get them, leaving her alone with Arthur. 

she sits next to him on the couch and says "let me see that"

she looks at the blood streak on the side of his face and she tries to locate the cut.

she looks down and says "I need you to take your clothes off" 

"Are you used to saying that?" he asks, breathless. 

She presses her lips together and doesn't acknowledge the gibe. 

He starts to take off his shirt and she helps, pulling it off of him. 

She goes for his pants automatically but she freezes when he just stares at her. 

Suddenly she feels very very uncomfortable. She never felt uncomfortable treating a man before. She hates this, her grandmother would have been pissed if she was here. 

"I need to make sure there's isn't anything wrong with your legs" she says, not looking at him. 

When he doesn't say anything she looks up and her eyes meet his heated ones. He reaches for his pants slowly and starts to undo the straps. She averts her eyes from him. 

She feels shuffling as he starts to push his pants down his leg. 

She helps pull it all the way off and she starts to get to work. 

She's cleaning his wounds when Luke comes in with herbs. There's a fire place and they make a small fire going and they put a pot with water to heat on top of it.
