Arlette would respect the wished of the one in pain. "I am not sure it will alter your mind but I respect that. Perhaps holding it in a cold stream will numb the pain as well. Cold tends to do that," she advised the female. That wouldn't mess with her mind. Arlette slowly dipped her head when the female spoke of dealing with much worse. "I understand," she spoke compassionately. She didn't ask about what was worse.

Arlette turned her head more to show the scars. "I've also dealt with a lot too," she commented. "Here I found a place that is safe," she admitted to her. Especially with Derg she felt really safe.
