She offered no resistance as Doctor Kinney pulled her arm away, staring blankly up at her face and saying nothing in reply. X-23 continue to stare at her as she rose and left the room, and her eyes remained fixed on the door even after Doctor Kinney was out of sight.
When she returned, she simply knelt back down, towel in hand, and pressed it against X-23's cuts.
It was unexpected. X-23 felt her body slack against the wall, and did not move until Doctor Kinney was finished.
When she spoke again, X-23 quietly obeyed. It was even stranger than the order from before, not even phrased as a command, and she did not understand how comfort was of any relevance. But it was clear that, regardless of how it sounded, she was intended to do as she was told. So she rose and sat down as well, far enough from Doctor Kinney to ensure there was no unnecessary contact.
