Kratos and Lynx

*the slit in my eye is still bleeding*

*Kratos's face darkens again and he looks at the cut. He speaks softly.* Kratos: This one is going to be a bit more painful, but I need you to stay as still as possible, okay?

*Kratos takes a deep breath and then he reaches for the bottle of antiseptic. He pours some on a piece of gauze and then he looks at the child.* Kratos: This is going to sting.
