She's too focused on examining the wound to look up, but just feeling the smugness crashing in waves from Charles' direction is giving her a subtle case of heavy secondhand embarrassment. DON'T GET HER WRONG this is very flattering! And she'd definitely openly show a positive reception if things weren't like this right now! But still...
(also does she really look that innocuous though yes the usual chipper moe outlook does help tremendously in disguising just how utterly terrifying she has the potential to become...)
Gonna pull back a bit and write a line before handing her notepad to Holland:
As a precaution, please let me know immediately if your leg starts feeling anything at all, though it shouldn't. This set aside, have you been affected anywhere else? Check all your senses too, if possible.
That question is posed also as a distraction. Because the quickest way to get an idea of just wtf happened there is to try cutting into the flesh, she does plan to make an incision. Advising him to look away would just attract his attention, so let's try to get away with it without his notice while she reaches for and cracks open the small case containing a clean portable surgery knife. She's only going to make a few millimeters deep cut; just enough to check how much the composition of the affected area has changed from a normal person's biology. Making clean cuts and healing it would be super simple, she can be fast and discreet with both and make it off as it never happened. If it's some sort of weird new material that his skin, blood and flesh has been changed into, on the other hand...
Then she'd just have to resort to a temporary solution that'll last him until they get out of here. It may be hoping for too much, but she's got a feeling this injury will be easier to treat once they return to the normal Mayfield. She'll have more resources too, not to mention. So for now...
Is he gonna be focused elsewhere? She only needs a brief second or two.]
