There was a bit of reluctance as he held his hand out to her. Again, her reflections were taunting her, picking at insecurities she didn't want to think about.. of things that she refused to think about! She had her mission and she would succeed! She would measure up...

With a sudden grin, she accepted his hand and let him wrap it up to stop the bleeding. Or at least, hopefully stop the bleeding. "Really? Then they must be lying! My future is whatever I make it to be and I will succeed at any and every task I put myself to."

That only made her reflections quietly snicker at her.
