[ If he could see he would grasp her wrist to stop so tight.
The moment she seems the hesitate so hard, and the moment he realizes she's going to try to touch that after all. But he can't even see his own hands to see if they're even safe to touch her with, he probably got blood on them as well, but they're protected by Innocence. Can't touch anything; he might spread it.
So he draws a quick and ragged breath in protest instead. To interrupt maybe and ask is there water nearby; it's a marsh, maybe there is, maybe she brought some, just don't touch it. Which is the moment of course she moves to dab at the more obvious splatters of blood still there. To very limited success because, of course... it's so caustic as to immediately begin to eat away at the rag she's using. And just pushes against, well...
Any protest he has is drowned out by such a reflexive scream again as that catches him so entirely offguard, even with her warning. But he will hold himself still. He will hold himself still.
Even if he's dug both hands quite deeply into the dirt in order to do so. ]
