When he takes the water basin from her, she pulls the first aid kit out from under her arm. )
You're welcome. This is the first aid kit they had. Not sure how well supplied it is, but there might be useful things.
( She holds that out as well, but takes greater care to make sure it's easy to take from her without contact. She's not sure what the hesitation or avoidance stems from, or if she's misinterpreting what she's seeing, but that's not her business. All she needs to do is figure out how to make it simpler for him to do what he needs to. )
I'd offer to help, but you seem to have it handled.

all is good!
