Oh, come on, Polly! [ She groans, slumping in her seat. Trucy's no baby, but at the same time the thought of forcibly inflicting pain upon herself isn't something that she's looking forward to.
Of course, it's not HER who is inflicting the pain, it's Apollo... but it's for the better good, so with a pout she s l o w l y offers her arm up and watches him. She's going to look this little procedure over, because it's not going to be that bad.
[The corner of his mouth twitches up in mirth at her exaggerated reluctance.]
It can't be that bad, Truce. [As amused as he is, he doesn't notice he's slipped and called her by a nickname instead. Gently, Apollo dabs at the cut, covering the surface with ointment. It probably stings a little, but that's expected.]
[ He might not have noticed, but she does, and she is pleased by it to be quite honest. She's about to say something in retaliation, though, but he's already started and she can feel the stinging.
She stiffens a little bit, but grins anyways. Okay, this isn't as bad as she's making it out to be, but she can't help it. ]
Haha, no, no, it's not bad. Really! This is fine.
[ Except she does tear her eyes away from the cut after a few moments because she's just adding insult to injury by looking at it!! ]
[ She's mentally kicking herself for being so arrogant about her own tricks; had she just been a good girl and followed daddy's stupid 'no knife tricks' rule, this wouldn't have happened and she's got a terrible feeling that's exactly what he's going to rub into her face when he comes home. Probably. ]
Okay, Polly. Thanks. But it's okay, it's not that bad! Take your time!
[ Please don't take your time. She doesn't really mean that, she just wants to sound tougher than she really is. ]
W-well, that's... that was before, you know? [ You're a big brave dog, Trucy. That's it.
She has to blink, though, because suddenly he's done, and it's only now that she looks at her perfectly bandaged injury. No more blood or gore -- other than the bandages, it looks like the injury never happened. ]
Whoa, this looks great, Polly! Thank you! It feels fine -- you should double as a nurse! I can see it now-- Apollo Justice: Ace Attornurse!
That's one word too many, Trucy. [He looks pleased at the praise, though, if only because it means the crisis is over for the moment.]
We--Clay and I--took a first aid class together. Apparently being a lawyer and an astronaut means you might run into trouble. Good to know I remember what I learned.
[It's probably a good thing they did, honestly, now that he's working for Phoenix Wright, who is arguably the most unpredictable person ever.]
[ She can't really find anything to argue back against that, so she pouts for a millisecond, before immediately brightening up again. ]
Oooh, that's cool! Definitely good knowledge to have on hand... hm, maybe I should look into taking a class like that...
[ She taps her chin for a moment, because it does sound like a useful class to take. Except she knows she'll probably lose interest pretty quickly since there's nothing ~*magical*~ about it. ]
I would love that! Do you know how to do stitches?! Oh, I bet we can find a DYI video on the internet!
[ He should probably stop her while he's ahead of the game. She blinks, though, when the subject is changed, and her eyes light up. Whatever trauma she's just been through seems to be completely gone, because she jumps right up and out of her seat at the mention of hot chocolate. ]
Yes! I can make it! You... you just sit down and relax, okay?
Urk. [Apollo coughs, suddenly worried about her enthusiasm.] No DYI videos from youtube, please. How do we even know if any of these people are certified?
Hey, wait a sec. [Chipper as she seems to be, Apollo can't help but still fret over her.] Why don't I do it? You're the one who's injured here.
Well, they probably aren't. That's the point of YouTube, right? We should start our own YouTube channel!
[ This is escalating quickly, and by the second to boot. She blinks at him, though, before placing her hands on her hips. ][ To demonstrate, she curls her injured arm... okay, yeah, that hurts but she can deal with it. She avoided needles! She avoided a hospital visit! She feels invincible now! ]

Yep, just fine....
;w; okay
Almost done, I promise.
[Apollo pauses a moment, unrolling the bandages. Then, he carefully begins to wrap the injury up.]

You wanted me to get it over with earlier and now you want me to take my time? I'd tell you to pick one or the other, but...
I'm done. [He sits back, examining his work with a critical eye.] How does that feel? Not too tight?
[Part of him's aware that he's fussing, but it's not like that would be anything new to Trucy.]

[It is good knowledge to have, as this entire fiasco's showed them. He only hopes that Trucy doesn't have to use that knowledge any time soon.
Apollo hesitates for a second, before patting her shoulder a tad awkwardly.]
I think this stressed us both out. That's usually a good time to have hot chocolate, or something like it, right?
