Re: log: cat, matt, emily
[The burn, on first impression, looked fresh. It looked like she stuck her hand in a hot oven yesterday morning, not a month ago, and his gaze flicked briefly up to Cat. What hadn't he been told so far?
After that, though, the hand had his full attention. He reached out and carefully took her by the forearm so he could guide the injured limb, turning it slightly to look at the back.] It's second degree. [Serious enough to merit careful attention, not so serious she was likely to need a graft. That was a good sign. If it hurt her, that meant the skin and nerves weren't destroyed, so pain was actually a good thing. The blisters meant more superficial areas of burn, but it was easy to spot where it went deeper.
He looked up at her.] This happened a month ago. [He needed to be sure he had that right.]
