"Your leg," Peridot said, a touch tersely as she undid the ski from her boot and set it to the side. "I'm going to put your leg back together."
Wishing the entire while that Steven was here so he could just spit things better, yes. But she was a Peridot, she was a technician of Homeworld and a hero to Earth. She could handle putting some bones back in the right order. She just needed a moment to kind of compose herself, and then she put her hands carefully on Jason's leg.
"If Earth fiction is any indication at all, this is going to," she paused, trying to remember the appropriate word. "Suck."
And then she was going for it. Hannibal's lessons hadn't been terribly focused on pain management as of yet. This was kind of like combat medic get-the-job-done stuff, and Peridot had never been terribly gentle. But so help her clod, she was going to set that bone right.
