"Your hands," Annalise said, opening up Beatrice's hands when she noticed a cut.

"It is nothing. Just a little something from trying to get the sword. It is evidence that I took part in trying to put down an attacker. Though I didn't do much," Beatrice replied, feeling excited about trying to help Annalise. 

"That is not true. The two of you helped to get the sword out of his hands. We need to wash off the blood," Annalise said, looking around for where there might be water for the two of them to wash up.

Beatrice had a handkerchief with her which she took out to wipe Annalise's hands with. The nosey people outside looking for something to talk about did not need to know that Annalise killed someone. "This will have to be done until we get somewhere to wash up. My clothes don't feel clean anymore, and I am sure you want to soak in water," she said.
