Garrot watches her movements, listens to her words, and begins to mimic her. He props an elbow on the table to hold his head, though of course he's still looking down at her. He's really tall.
"Fightin's banned, too." He's still grinning, knowing full well he's being cagey. "I don't want either of us to get hurt with all these monsters around." The words are surprisingly deadpan, serious even, so it's clear how he's taking her intent. But then he quirks an eyebrow, and his free hand starts to tap his claws on the table.
"But if you want to spar, I-" He stops, mid-sentence, his eyes going wide with shock. Garrot blinks a few times, thinking, and, "No way, I think we should wait until you're healed up. No, uh- no strenuous activity for you yet!" And then he taps on his head right where her wound is. No matter what kind of blows things could come to, he doesn't want to hurt her. If they weren't trapped on this damned island, it'd be a different story. Garrot does, however, turn quite red. He's embarrassed, he's a doctor who forgot she was injured and that's so reckless and-
"Do you think Mister Torrence could heal that up the rest of the way?" He gives the bandage a scrutinizing glare, and then he looks back at her. He's still red. "I- I just don't w-want to make things worse for you!" Because she needs to survive. He can't show her the lights and have a vicious little romp in the snow if she dies here. And they can't fight, he won't let them fight until he's sure she can take a few lumps without bleeding or worse. So they'll both be a little blue for now.
