[Rideaux knows it's a serious thing and all, but he can't help but smile a little bit watching Luca react to the sensation of local anesthetic. Maybe it's because Luca had been acting like an injury like this would kill him. Not when there's a licensed doctor on deck!

He actually is impressed with how well Luca takes the procedure overall, though. He's barely made a peep this whole time. In turn Rideaux stays quiet while he diligently finishes up, only speaking to occasionally ask Luca how he's doing.

Soon enough, Luca's all patched up. Rideaux starts cleaning up around the counter. The bolt will be disposed of soon enough.]

I imagine so, if you're not used to it. After all, how often are you likely to come across a crossbow outside of hunting and combat?
