#just. picturing the moment it happens. guy get injred and sits up and realizes how badly they hurt. caretaker rushes over wide-eyed to see

[silvercap]

I tend to focus a lot on the aftermath and/or the moment the whump is happening for the guy getting whumped, but there's just something about caretaker POVs.... Watching injured character gasp desperately for breath when the pain makes it hard for them to do anything other than sag limply in caretaker's grip, their pale face and trembling hands a sure sign of how utterly awful they're feeling. Caretaker can't do anything but watch, unable to do much more than soothe them with a few soft reassurances and try to offer a hand for them to squeeze. It's just so good!!

Also, if injured character tries to convince them that they're okay or put on a brave front, though they clearly are anything but. I gotta write more of this
