Otherwise he wouldn't be so very adamant about keeping covered. There's a connection here, one she might go so far as to guess at- but she won't. Bring it up, guess, or ask. All she wants, all she needs is to make certain he can sleep easily tonight and that the bulk of it is mended to the best of her ability.]
