[ Aloy can feel the vulnerability. It's still so strange to feel others emotions. She wants Asuka to feel comfortable, though, and focuses her mind on reassuring Asuka that Aloy isn't going to do anything to hurt her. Gently, her fingers touch against the bruised cheek. She rubs gingerly and the paste is thin and a little oily so that after a few strokes it's been absorbed into the skin. The effect is almost immediate. There's a gentle tingling sensation that last for a few moments and then the pain in Asuka's cheek begins to fade. It doesn't disappear entirely, but it's a dull background sensation now instead of the stinging annoyance that's possibly at the forefront of Asuka's mind. Aloy sits back. ]
