He flashes her a quick smile at that before he moves his attention back to her arm. If he's learned anything it's that a joke is as good an indication of health as just about anything. She's going to be fine, but he still wants a good look at that arm. Her blood is staining his jacket and maybe it's a little disappointing that his first new clothes are going to end up as bloodstained as his old ones, but it's just a jacket.
"What, this old thing?" he says, shaking his head. "You're practically improving it."
He shifts on his knees, pulling back the jacket a little to inspect the wound. The blood is slowing and now that he can get a proper look, he could swear it's a shrapnel wound. She's a young woman in civilian clothes and that's all wrong, not how it's supposed to go at all. He wants to know where she came from, but that can wait. For now, he keeps talking to her, trying to keep her focused.
"You wanna tell me what happened?" he asks her, looking for any signs that there might still be any foreign body in the wound. It looks clear, though he can tell from the bleeding and the torn tissue that she's likely ripped it out herself. It'll probably need stitches, and Hawkeye's just about the best sew he knows, but this is Darrow, not the 4077th and he can't just stitch her up himself. "I'm a doctor, believe me, you're gonna be just fine."
