"Will I d-do that again?" She asked quietly as he grabbed a new wipe.
"Yes." He nodded, wiping down her forehead.
"A lot?" She questioned, swallowing thickly.
"Yes." He repeated. "What are you thinking?"
"W-whether to do it or not." She sniffle...

The soldier lead Nova back to her dorm, passing the children coming out of the Tv room. Jenny and Lily caught Nova's eyes before their gaze flickered to the blood stain growing on her t-shirt and they gasped quietly as Nova looked down as they walked up the steps, choosing to look at her pumps as they clicked up the stairs.
Once they got to her dorm, the solder pushed open the door and Nova went in, moving quickly to her bed and plopping down on it, sniffling slightly but keeping back her tears. She placed the things next to her on the bed and the soldier put the rest down as she began to look through the supplies.
Confused, she just grabbed the needle and thread, poking the end of her finger with it, regretting her decision as she hissed, a droplet of blood welling at the end of the needle. The soldier raised an eyebrow at her and she huffed, putting down the needle and grabbing the bandages instead.
"Wrong." The soldier said gruffly.
"I'm five. I don't k-know how to stit-t-tch a wound." Nova mumbled, sniffling.
"Put it down." He ordered, moving next to her on the bed.
Nova did as she was told and sat back, crossing her legs so she was fully on the bed. Her eyes drifted to the window, the sun slowly setting and she was excited to see the moon come out again tonight. It was the one thing that made her happy now, minus Lily and Jenny.
"Hey." The soldier snapped his fingers in front of her face and she turned back to him, humming. "I need to see your wound. Take your top off."
Nova did as she was told again, tears welling in her eyes as she tried lift her arm, immediately being filled with pain as her arm lifted to a certain point, messing with her cut. The soldier sighed, carefully helping her pull it off and then dropped it in her lap, the girl fiddling with it as he grabbed the alcohol.
"This is going to hurt." He warned, dribbling some of the alcohol onto a cotton wool ball.
Nodding, Nova chose to stare at his metal limb, eyes following the intended of the different panels of it. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying out in pain as the alcohol seeped into her wound, the soldier dabbing around it to clean up the blood. Her hands fisted the t-shirt in between her fingers, squeezing it harshly to try and subside the pain.
The soldier glanced up at her face, seeing the salty water beading at her lashes. He pulled away for a second and got up, searching through her draws quickly and Nova began to panic, remembering her teddy was hidden in there. He pulled it out from behind many items of clothing an handed it to her before sitting back down, picking up a new cotton ball and pouring some alcohol onto it.
