[So no, he wasn't complaining about it yet. If anything, he saw no reason to complain when the fact that they did better when working together was apparent. After all, his arm wouldn't have been sewn up and bandaged if not for 76, and the younger man wouldn't have an old festering wound heal if not for him. It was as close to working together as they would manage.
He worked the bandage to where it needed to be, wrapping it tighter at the top to prevent slipping. That done, he ran his hands over it from ribs down and then back to front to check for bulging or missed areas. In his own way, he was also checking for signs of pain in other areas while he was gently smoothing his hands over areas.]
