Things happen. I don't always have a pair of gloves on hand when I treat someone's wound.
But I hold plenty of hands, Klaus. I don't wear gloves, and I know what it means. I've had more time to grow used to it.
Then again, I haven't cared for someone that way. I think if I did, I'd handle it more directly.
[This is where Clarke is ... surprisingly stable? Forthright in a good way?]
I don't mind the people I care for knowing that I care for them. I did when I was younger. I didn't want anyone to know all the anger and grief I had inside of me, even if I was holding on to them and cared about them. But while that grief is still there, I know how I feel for people I care about.

[A pause. A beat.]
I'll have to show you sometime.
