[peter keeps his tone light because the wounds on thom's ribs are pretty bad and the ones on his back, when peter gently pulls him forward by the back of the neck, aren't looking any better. he presses towels to them, putting pressure on the wounds regardless of how thom may or may not feel about that.]
Hey, Newt, let's get this poor bastard lying down and his feet up. Thom, your back is all torn up, so let us do the lifting.
[they're actually petty gentle about this, or at least as gentle as they can be while putting someone down right on their injuries so that gravity can help staunch them. a chair from the kitchen table does well enough to get thom's feet above his heart so newt can continue his ankle cleansing. the pressure of peter's hand seems to concentrate on thom's ribs now.]
There, that might help you help yourself. Not gonna faint on us either, are you?
