Squeezing the excess water out of the cloth, Wesley started with Spike's face, gently swabbing away blood that had dried there, but avoiding the deeper cuts in case he disturbed the scabs that had formed over them. "The swelling seems to have stopped," he said, of Spike's black eye.
"The blood helped," Spike said, keeping still even when Wesley brushed over a particularly tender spot near his eye. He took advantage of their position to study Wesley's face, noticing the tightness around his eyes.
