Pete nodded to let the man know that they were going to let him touch Kinn. And he even went to go behind the man to hold him where he'd been told to. Mainly because he'd watch Vegas go to hold the legs. Holding firm, he let Waisu do his work and made sure to make a note to befriend this man. He was good and clearly knew what he was doing for older medicine. That was valuable.

And they owed him. He wouldn't forget that.

Once the arm was pressed to Kinn's chest, he nodded for Vegas to hold it there and went to stand guard. When he'd gotten the knife in his hand was a mystery but clearly he was ready just in case.

To guard Kinn, Vegas, and Waisu. The doctor had earned it.
