[ He's welcome to try. She's not above teleporting him around the house until his head is spinning so much he can't stand up straight or hitting him with one of Jaskier's contraptions to knock him out. Because she knows she can't hold a barrier forever with him pounding against it, but she had other options. Now paired with a large estate.
Strange how the idea that just talking to him isn't her first thought. He was stubborn, doubly so it seems when it's a suggestion from her that contradicts his own desires.
When he doesn't speak, she doesn't try to fill the silence. If it's uncomfortable, so be it. Talking was far more dangerous than anything else he could possibly throw at her. So, she begins draping the bandages on the chain marks, slowly working and taking her time. Popping the top off the gin, she takes a drink straight from the bottle, offering it to him as she rises to move to his other side ton continue wrapping him up. It's a good way to keep her hands and mind busy, to resist the temptation to be the first to speak. ]
