"Nay," he moves his hand slightly.

"I am wounded but not so bad for us to need a... doctor?" The word is unfamilar to him. Science is still as mysterious as magic to the young Paladin. He thinks they are just really weird wizards who use different sorts of words.

"But I fear that the curr who stabbed me may be near. Take care, my lady. I would not like to see thee hurt."

She fights the urge to smile, mostly because she can't help but imagine what her Chief Medical Officer would say in such a situation.

"A doctor might disagree with you. Can I see the wound?" While the Enterprise was not a doctor - not in the way that others studied medicine, she would be able to tell if it was indeed in need of treatment.

"Let's hope that whoever it was doesn't take an interest in me, then."

"Aye, thou may," he allows shifting so that he can move the material of his clothing out of the way. He had not been in his half-plate armor or the work uniform the Nysgod's provided.

Today was supposed to be a rest day for him.

"I do not believe it is overly deep," he confesses. "I was... distracted by the attack. I may be able to heal some of the damage here."

A lay on hands should bring him up most of the way back to being perfectly healthy. He just was a bit shy of using it in front of someone who might not understand that he is a Paladin,

When given access to the wound, the Enterprise leans over to look at it. There's no touching as she only asked to see and she can be very literal at times. After inspecting it for a minute she straightens.

"It appears shallow. None of your organs would have been punctured."

His mention of being able to heal it have her eyes flicking up to his face. While science was dominant in her universe, there were quite a few things they might not be able to explain. Things that others would call magic.

"No need to hold back on my account. I'd be very interested in seeing your method of healing," she says with a deep-seeded curiosity.

"Aye, I did not think it was bad," the young man agrees watching her expression carefully.

At her words he nods.

"I doth not desire to make others uncomfortable." He inclines his head politely. "I thank thee for thine direct words."

He moves his hand which seems to light up over the wound. It closes up for the most part. It still looks like it will need a bandage as it is still bleeding a bit and is not entirely closed up.

"It wast deeper than mine art could heal. Tis not such a.... as you may say, a big deal. A bandage should fix the rest."

"Sometimes it is best to be direct." A thing she did quite often, actually. The art of being subtle was sometimes lost on her when she was so used to being straight-forward.

She watches the healing process with rapt fascination, shifting so as to get a better look at the wound closing instead of just a glowing light covered by his hand. The Enterprise's entire face lights up when it's over. "Amazing! I've never seen anything like it before." As much as she wants to question how it's done, she will help him attend to what remains of his wound.

Her eyes shift up to his face. "You're in luck as I happen to be carrying around this." With one hand she reaches into the jacket pocket and pulls out a large bandage. "I find I'm not entirely steady on my legs." So one may collapse beneath her and her knees are then scraped.

"Aye. It cuts away confusion," he agrees smiling briefly. He is a cheery sort.

While some of his companions irritated them he found he truly did enjoy their company. He would never admit that that bard would get far too smug. A very cheerful and smug Dwarf is a thing to be avoided Logan had decided. He did not want ale spilled on his boots again.

Logan is a bit of a neat freak. Having things spilled on him irritates him more quickly than the young wizard asking questions about women.

"Thou should take care not to hurt thine self," Logan said with a faint smile working back onto his face. "I would hate to see thee hurting."

As annoyed as he gets with his companions he feels the same way. Seeing them hurt bothers him. Like he failed.

"It ensures that the message does not get muddled and things get done much faster." Precision, she practically lived that way.

Spock was almost always one to say what he means directly while Bones was fond of his metaphors. Her Captain was a wild card, anywhere between blunt with words to completely mysterious. Sometimes it made her head spin with the various ways people spoke.

"Unfortunately that's not entirely in my control. I'm not quite used to my new legs just yet."

She holds up the bandage. "May I?"

"I agree with thee. Confusion just leads to needless fights," the Paladin says with a careful shrug. He prefers peace before fighting but he would have been a knight had the Goddess not called him to duty.

"Then.... this is a new shape for thee," Logan guesses. "Tis no matter. Thou art a kind lady. I am sure you were just as kind f your... true form."

He moves his hand so she can get to the wound. "As you will, my lady."

"It is. I'm not sure you'd believe me if I said what I was before," she admitted truthfully. How was anyone supposed to admit that they had been a ship that soared amongst the stars and be believed? The Enterprise looked up at him. "You are right about that. I would not turn my back on someone in need."

Not unless commanded to by her Captain and her Captain was not the sort to do that. In fact, Kirk often went against the Prime Directive to help people.

She knelt down, pulling apart the wrapper of the bandage. Once it was ready the Enterprise carefully placed it over the wound, pressing down on the edges to ensure that it was stuck. Once done she stood back up. "There. That should help."

"Aye, I would likely not. There is much that escapes reason. The fish are even like paintings though I see they breath and move," he admitted nodding towards a jewel toned fish. "I know of many things so this is a bit.... perplexing."

He had never seen a bandage like that before. The fact it sticks to his skin seems like a wonder.

"I thank thee. I did not know bandages did this. Tis a miracle."

"They're simply behind a piece of glass. One that was made to withstand the pressure of being underwater." She tapped on the glass which caused the fish to scatter.

The Enterprise smiled at him.

"One day humans will be able to do with science what you just did with...magic, is it? I'm interested to know about your abilities."
