[ Diana's smile warms at the small respectful gesture. She nods to the man to go ahead. ]
My thanks, Healer. [ She has lived in Man's World long enough to become accustomed to the ways of men. She is not a dainty woman and built for a life of hard fighting, with the inborn gravitas of a seasoned diplomat. There is nothing in Diana that would allow even a passing glance to write her off as small. And yet it is always a comfort to meet a man like this. The horror stories of her youth, the cautionary tales of Hercules and indeed even Zeus, linger. Humans are rarely as casually callous as the gods, but Hera knows she's run into her share. Especially in her role as Wonder Woman.
She has met many a good man too, and there is something in her that can do nothing but warm to the genuine care and consciousness from anyone. Diana is not very good at being a patient, but she's good at bearing up under pain. She lets him work, a slow exhale the only indication of her pain. ]
