[Venipuncture and IVs weren't that different, it only required different tools mostly, and given the amount of fluid that would be flowing in, a larger vein than one they might be able to do a blood draw from.
He happened to be glancing up, grabbing a different set of needles so he could get the IV started when he caught that little glance. That Jason was interested in the girl was not a surprise, but it appeared as though that might be a two-way path. Interesting. The corner of his mouth quirked as he set down what he needed and went looking for a feasible vein.] It isn't unknown for someone to grow close to their bodyguard. [It was said quietly as his thumbs explored the tracery of blue beneath pale skin. And while it wasn't necessarily true that Jason was her bodyguard, it wasn't strictly wrong either.
Not the ankle, not the foot, but just slightly above the ridge of ankle bone, there. He reached for the tourniquet and the alcohol pad; and in lieu of pressing, changed the subject.] Once the IV is running, we'll do the swabs. They shouldn't hurt and it'll help pass the time.
[He went quiet again then, concentrating as he tied the tourniquet half way up her calf. Another check of the vein confirmed it and he quickly rubbed the alcohol pad over her skin, cleaning it before he inserted the needle quick with nothing more than a minor pinch.
The tech returned with everything and primed the line and by the time Ra's was ready, so was the IV, and he simply hooked up one port to the line to begin the infusion. A few strips of tape to keep it in place while they did the swabs and all that was left was to let it run.] Let me know if it causes you any discomfort.
