“It’s festerin’, innit?”
“Seen better,” Mauhúr acknowledged. The orc brandished a small knife. “Want summat to bite on?”
Uglúk shook his head.
“Suit yerself.”
Mauhúr quickly dragged the knife across Uglúk’s hot, reddened flesh, cutting the rough stitches he’d inserted five days ago. The orc bent his head and sucked the wound, then spat out a mouthful pus and blood.
Red hot pain swamped Uglúk’s senses.
Suck. Spit. Suck, Spit.
Finally, Mauhúr pulled back and let the freezing cold rain wash the wound.
“Next bit’s gonna hurt, too.”
Uglúk stared up at the slate-grey sky. “Think I don’t know it?”

Not that I would expect it to be any more pleasant!
