Doc's quiet a moment, his eyes on hers for a brief second or two before he closes them again. It hurts too much to tell the story when she's looking at him like that.

Not like he's going to tell the whole story.

"I made a mistake and ended up in trouble in someone else's world. A man had been hurting my friends and I...I thought what I did was the right thing. It wasn't, and I realized it and when the time was right...we tried to set things right again. They sent a rescue party after us, but while Brand and I were fighting he caught me across the face with his sword, just enough to leave this scar."

He shakes his head.

"I blacked out after I got hurt worse, and woke up a week later in the infirmary back at the bar."
