[ He nods, absent, more focused on steadying his breathing than anything else at the moment. In, out, in, out...
Okay. Okay. He's got it under control now, he thinks. His head is still pounding, and that fresh wound is absolutely burning. He'd take a look at it, but whatever his reaction would be would probably just stress Henry out further, so he's gotta tough it out. He might be bleeding, but what else is new?

It's okay. I'll heal. [ He forces the agitation from his voice, goes for something reassuring, but it's still strained. ] Besides, what kind of superhero would I be if I let you get bit, huh?
[ Accompanied with a little laugh. A pretty bad one, actually!!
... A beat, like the rest of Henry's words have just set in, and he loses his bravado. Still isn't going to look at the wound, though. ]
But um. Yeah. I might need some help. Jion's a medic, right? He's good at this stuff? Or Shoko...
