"I don't want you to leave." As raw as she felt right now, the prospect of trying to be a smartass or snark at him was beyond unappealing. He'd have to deal with her being genuine and on the nose. Hopefully it wouldn't send him into a tailspin.
She gave him her foot willingly too, let him move it this way and that as any competent doctor or healer would. There was no suppressing the wincing and owing, but there was no blinding, screaming pain. Just enough for her to manage, "I take it back. Touch my foot again and you can leave," but then catch his gaze and smile pathetically.
