[ he's been through far worse, he reminds himself, although that's not much of a comfort. His fear earlier was about vulnerability, but this? He knows the limits of his body. He knows that he's strong and that he can take plenty. He's not afraid of whatever Bones is going to do to him. ]
[ Bones nods, efficient in everything once he's in proper 'doctor mode.' He takes this seriously, and he won't bother wasting time now that it's clear Astarion isn't going to pass out from fear or anything (it's happened! You meet all kinds when you work at Courtsheart.) ]
Lay down on your stomach. It'll be the easiest for me.
[ He starts scrubbing up properly, getting what he needs ready so they can start. I won't bore you with specifics but I promise Bones is at least a little better than your average victorian doctor. He washes his hands and even wears a mask and glasses to avoid too much accidental contamination. ]
