Mikaela winces in turn, not able to see nearly as much as she'd like, even with the light.
She doesn't like hurting him accidentally, for both his sake and her own. She's not unaware that one wrong flinch or twitch from him could easily sever something of hers. She tries not to think if it like that, but the thought is there, in the back of her mind.
