"Is it bleeding a lot?" because if it isnt then chances are its just a scatch Curly!Puff. Then he angled his head at the locket around his neck.
"Were you wearing that before? I dont remember you wearing any... fancy jewelry." Fancy as in girlyyyyy
Oh! GOOD! Vickers was here. His bro. "Vee, did you just hear Professor Elwood!? Your lover? Yeah, well she took FIVE points from me! For trying to protect myself, can you believe it!?" he complained to his friend.
"Oh my hand?" he asked, as Vickers questioned whether or not it was bleeding, "I think it is a little. I mean, it isn't DRIPPING blood or anything, I think the little buggars sliced me open a tiny bit is all. It freakin' stings though! Like a bad papercut." He held out the maimed hand to the 'Claw, "You have a look, you are probably the smartest person I know. Will it survive? Just tell me straight, Vee, does this thing need...." GULP "... amputated?"
Vickers also seemed to notice the locket Elijah had retrieved from the bowtruckle. "Oh this," he indicated, bending his chin as far down as possible, looking the jewelry over in his left hand again. "That little BEAST that had latched itself to my hand dropped it. I think it is only fair that I keep it considering the damn thing HURT me. Like a sort of battle trophy, yeah?" he began to laugh. The whole thing seemed so silly in retrospect. Then he remembered his hand again...
"But my hand? It doesn't need amputated?" he asked again, a little more panicked this time.
