The moment Arabella openly expressed her opinion of what sort woman she thought Harper was, Harper couldn't help but smirk at the opinion. It was pretty spot on she had to admit, as normally she wouldn't care about having someone else patch her up but tonight she was tired from all the fighting and decided if someone else was going to be in the near vicinity then she may as well as her associates always nagged her to do, and actually seek help when it was available to her. She had practically lost count of the amount of times people who knew her well, especially the Harvelle family telling her she needs to stop being so stubborn when it came to accepting aid. She could almost hear them now, [i]"how many times do we have to tell you Harper? We didn't save your ass all those years ago just for you to become a stubborn fool and be independent to an absolute fault"[/i]. "Gotta say you're pretty damn observant to get that from me. Though I don't exactly make it a habit to hide it. As you must know, being a woman in this job means you gotta fight extra hard to be respected and taken seriously. I guess that mindset leaked into other traits such as rarely asking for help" she admitted to the woman. "Also I'm just too tired to do it myself" she gave a half chuckle and smirk. 

Harper let Bella sit on the bed and get everything out that she needed to help her out. She knew this was going to be rough, but surely she had gone through worse injuries that she had to fix herself? She couldn't think of anything right in this moment, but she was still sure of it. As Bella gave her the warning, she made herself relax but also brace for the pain that was about to be inflicted on her as she felt the glass move out of her skin. Just as she predicted, she found herself gritting her teeth tightly and hissing as the feel and sound of the glass scraping against her skin and muscles in her side as it got removed. "fuck!" she said through her gritted teeth but breathed in relief when she felt the last of the glass be removed. Bella may have been as careful as possible and was being light handed which she appreciated but it seemed that no matter how lightly the other woman worked, Harper would still be feeling that removal. She braced herself once more as Bella began to do the stitches which although did sting, didn't hurt nearly as much as the removal process did. 

"nice work" she complemented her when she was done, letting her head to the bathroom to clean up. As she was done, she stood up and chucked the bloodied cloths and such away in the nearby trashcan before looking up again as Bella came back into the main part of the room. Giving her a nod, "Yeah I'm still good for patching you up. It's the least I can do after you helped me out" she replied to her, shifting over once more onto the bed and just as Bella did just moments ago, she got a new needle and sterilized it, got everything else that she would need out and placed in an order that she would need them. "I'm not gonna lie, this ain't gonna be fun but it's gotta be better than having that wood shard in your side" she warned her as she waited for the woman to sit back down in a position that would be good to work with and comfortable for her.
