That's the worst of it. My face, I mean.

( while kara doesn't mind small gestures to the cuts and contusions that litter her skin, she doesn't quite know how to explain it. the process was much easier within the deo, where everyone was familiar with her biology and the expectations that came with it. here, she aches, and that alone is enough to confuse her. )

But I'd prefer if you didn't treat them. ( a pause, and kara offers further explanation. ) You won't be able to get a needle through, anyway.
