Lynn inspects and doctors this, gently and carefully, cleaning it up with water and putting a large band-aid on it. She doesn't remark on the - lack of blood, the lack of red, she very much does not want to worry her child. Let her worry about that, Astrid does not need to.
"It'll be okay," she soothes, as she observes that Astrid does - leak. A fluid, even. But it's not blood.
Another debate, over if she should be taken to the hospital, again. But what would she say? 'My child skinned her knee and she's not bleeding'? How does a person explain this?
