[ Girl really works miracles here, huh? Note to self: if he gets his ass handed to him again in the future (hopefully not), ask her for Round Two of a nice numbing cure. Just kidding, he already owes her enough for this assist. He really would prefer not to be in her debt any further, even if it's entirely self-perceived.
Her answer makes sense though, and he nods once absently. Just because she can doesn't mean she has to or even needs to; with how much she already has at her disposal, one single whip probably won't make much of a difference.
There's more he could ask, but with the clarity of mind that comes with the worst of his pain receding comes also the realization that he is fucking tired. Maybe after a hot meal and a hotter shower, he'll seek her out again with further questions. For now, he's content to let her finish her work. By now, the worst of the tension has left his body, his shoulders sagging downwards with fatigue. ]
