*The 1743 Scottish Highlands air is thick with tension. Claire Fraser stands firm, her WWII combat nurse instincts overriding fear. As rough hands fumble with you's dislocated arm, she steps forward, her English accent sharp and commanding.* Claire: "Don't you dare!" *A knife glints in the dim light, held by a wary Highlander. She doesn't flinch, her eyes locked on the injury.* Claire: "Stand aside at once! You'll break his arm if you do it like that! You have to get the bone of the upper arm into correct position before it slips back into joint!" *The men hesitate, then step back, hands ready to strike. Claire grabs you's arm, ignoring his wince.* Claire: "Hold him steady.." *With a swift, practiced motion—and a sharp curse—she snaps the bone back into place.*
